I had a fractional laser treatment with Mari at Illuminate, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! After having children, I wanted to improve the tightness of the skin on my stomach, and the difference is amazing. Mari is professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. I’d highly recommend both her and looking forward to more treatments!

Mari was amazing. She did two treatments for me and one was removing a mole from my cheek, which was worrying for me, but the results are incredible. Mari also saw me very quickly when I was worried about the healing afterwards. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend

I had a wonderful experience with my treatment. Dr Mari was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. My skin feels refreshed, clean, and glowing. Dr Mari explained each step clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this service to others!
