Skin Laundry does indeed specialize in de-wrinkling, but not when it comes to tumble drying on high heat. The company’s cutting-edge and affordable skincare laser treatments—such as the Signature Laser Facial and Glow Peel—provide medical-grade services with only highly-trained registered nurses and medical directors on staff. Born in Santa Monica, its on-site facilities are designed to resemble an open, airy SoCal beach house with a relaxed, friendly vibe—a refreshing and stylish departure from a typical clinical facility. 

Once arrived and checked in, you’ll prep your skin at “the vanity”, a lightbulb-framed mirror and countertop with one of Skin Laundry’s targeted facial washes or Purifying Cleansing cloths before hanging in the lounge of comfy chairs, plants and photographs of lifeguard stands and palm trees to chill before getting your ‘before’ photo taken. Next, you’ll meet your technician who will review your skin concerns/goals, medical history, and then perform the Signature Laser Facial—with the option to add on areas of neck, chest and hands. Skin Laundry’s YAG laser deep cleans, and is both corrective and preventative. It uses extremely safe and energy-based technology to help boost collagen production, blend discoloration and minimize the appearance of pores. Overtime, repeated treatments show to noticeably smooth out texture of fine lines and wrinkles, improve elasticity, help clear acne-prone complexions, while evening skin tone and brightening dark spots—for that coveted California girl glow. 

The beauty of it all is the treatment is non-invasive, takes all of 10-15 minutes, involves little-to-no pain tolerance and requires absolutely no downtime for recovery. Treatment provider Morgan, at the newly opened Sarasota location, mentioned that many often stop in during their lunch break for a quick “load of laundry” before heading back to work—with a healthier, clearer glow and extra pep in their step. Having to do the laundry seems a lot less like a mundane household chore, and more like a gratifying wellness retreat.
