AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I paid for and received five laser treatments -- a significant investment of capital for me -- to ameliorate the broken capillaries on my face. Not only did the capillaries not lessen or disappear, they got worse. When I subsequently contacted the owner to inquire what more could be done, she told me that I should go to a plastic surgeon.

Carmen, who performed four of the five treaments, responded to my concerns by insisting that all the capillaries were gone each time she treated me, and that my skin looked great. The more I asked when things were finally going to improve, the more she lied, and when she wasn't lying she pouted in silence because I had insulted her skills.

Carole, the owner, treated me once by mistake, thinking I was on her list of clients when I was really on Carmen's. After the treament, I was charged additional to my pre-paid package because Carole performed the service. Then, while I was forking over the extra money and not very happy about doing so, Carmen was hovering in the background, giving me dirty looks -- angry and whispering to the receptionist because I ended up being treated by Carole instead of by her.

I'm glowing. Found this place through Groupon and I'm hooked. I know schedule bi-monthly facials and am even doing laser hair removal. While I've had some difficulty with appointments that have gone missing, for the most part I've been really here. And judging from the compliments on my skin, that its never looked better - they've got me hooked!

Wonderful experience, noticeable results!. After months of research, I chose SLR for laser hair removal based on the very positive web reviews and extensive information on their website. My experience was fantastic. I've had sessions with both Carole and Katharine and they are exceptional, knowledgeable, and followed through with service that works. Based on my positive experience with laser, I decided to do IPL at SLR and Carole has absolutely changed my life. Even before starting IPL, the products Carole recommended noticeably faded my hyper pigmentation within a few weeks and minimized the appearance of pores, reduced flaky dry winter skin, and improved my overall skin tone. I now have one session of IPL down and can't wait to continue the regimen. Carole and her staff are wonderful and effective. I would recommend them to anyone.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I've had pretty good skin for most of my life...an occasional hormonal breakout here and there but nothing too serious....Then I hit my 30's and everything went haywire. My skin became EXTREMELY sensitive and I started experiencing flushing on the apples of my cheeks...then blotchy red bumps that would not go away...I couldn't hide behind make-up since it seemed to make things worse...Turns out I have Rosacea! I went to a couple of dermatologists each prescribing topical medications which would only make my skin more sensitive and dry..My face looked and felt terrible! I started researching on-line and had read about IPL and how it could help those with Rosacea...I had heard about Carole Burns/SLR on one of the Rosacea boards, all raving about their experience there and with IPL so I decided to give it a shot.. I arrived for my first appointment in tears, I was having a bad day...my skin was so inflamed with pimples all over my cheek area. Carole calmed me down and assured me that I would have beautiful skin again...I was skeptical at first but she explained the procedure to me and how IPL worked on the skin (I must say that I was very impressed with her knowledge of not only the procedure but dermatology in general.) Well, she was right! Even after my first IPL session, my skin started to feel better and by the second, I started noticing a big difference in it's appearance...I had a total of 5 sessions that first year and it changed my life! Carole has brought back my clear, beautiful, soft skin (as well as my confidence.) I still go back to Carole/SLR for 'maintenance' and the new office on 23rd street is even more fabulous...I'll be turning 40 soon and my skin has never looked better...Thank you Carole!!!

MOST AMAZING LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN NYC. This place is AMAZING! Clean, beautiful facility and kind, honest, and professional staff.

I have been getting laser hair removal on my underarms and after being so pleased with the results, I am now on to my legs. I have done a ton of research on laser hair removal facilities in the city and SLR is hands down the best there is. Carol takes amazing care of you, and doesn’t take advantage of her customers. I wanted to get something lasered and she told me that the hair was too thin in the area and that she didn’t want to take my money for something that I wouldn’t get the results I was looking for. AMAZING! The process is very quick and the laser they use is relatively painless! Other lasers essentially do one spot at a time, and this laser moves seamlessly over large portions of skin in a very short period of time.

Pros: clean beautiful facility; professional, honest staff; quick painless laser

Cons: NONE!

The Real Deal. Carole is the real deal. The deep cleansing facial leaves my skin soft and clean and my pores smaller. If you are looking for someone who knows how to do extractions without leaving marks, this is the place to be. I've had the IPL and it is amazing! I have had it done in other places and Carole goes for gold in that she treats pores, veins and brown spots with determination. I could see fabulous improvement the next day and definitely will get a 2nd one because I know Carole will achieve near perfection on my skin.

I loved it!. I recently purchased a groupon for an IPL and chemical peel treatment and I loved it!!

I was always a skeptic about laser treatments but already after 1 treatment I noticed that my brown spots went away. I'm definitely going back for a 2nd IPL treatment,I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS SOONER. My skin looks AMAZING. The facility is really chic and clean,and the whole staff from the front desk girl to the estheticians are very friendly. SLR is NYC's best kept secret for skin care!

Mill. Was instructed on the phone to come 10 minutes early as the appointments are always on time. Meanwhile, the aesthetician was 10 minutes late -- while another chatted. OK, not a problem for me but the treatment was 20 minutes. $70 plus (very modest) tip. So rushed, didn't even recommend a product! Come on Groupon. This is not a bargain - it's a rip off. Sorry.

Amazing!. Skin Laser Rejuvenation is amazing! I was introduced to this place through Groupon when I purchased a mini medi facial. This is by far the best Groupon I have ever purchased. I was mess when I went for my first appointment; I was struggling with acne and had many scars. I had tried so many different products and refused to leave the house without some form of makeup on. I left my first appointment with a clean face and new products to control the acne. Katherine worked some magic! She also talked to me about caring for my skin and future treatments to get rid of the scarring. After my first facial, I was able to leave the house with minimal makeup. I have had another facial since the first visit and my face continues improving. I look forward to my future facials and starting some IPL treatments.
