What Our Clients Say

To say that LeeAnn has changed my life may seem like an exaggeration. But my experience with her and the Clinic has been nothing short of exactly that: Life Changing. I have struggled with Malasma for many years to the point where I was so self continue that I would avoid going out into public. I spent hundreds of dollars a month on creams and treatments. LeeAnn was so kind and and understanding and worked out a plan (which in comparison was actually affordable) and the results has been incredible. I have had people stop me in the street to compliment me on my skin!!! And that was a no-make up day - which I did not think would ever be in the cards for me. I am SO grateful for this clinic and will forever be showing my photos to strangers

My experience working with Canyon Laser & Skin Care has been exceptional. When I first came in we started with a thorough assessment of my skincare concerns and discussed a plan that was tailored specifically to my needs. I have done 3 treatments so far with the Skin Tyte laser. We focussed on my jowls and neck and I could not be more thrilled with the results after 3 sessions. The treatment has noticeably improved per session and you can see a definite tightening and firming in these areas. I am thrilled with the results so far and I have 2-3 more treatments to go. If you are on the North Shore, without doubt make sure to go see them for Skin Tyte or any of the other skin care treatments they offer at Canyon Laser.
