"I had an appointment at Avalon Laser today for a Nefertiti lift, masseter Botox, and a lip flip, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!I followed Raiza here from another practice because she is truly one of a kind. I have had a severe fear of needles since I was a child, and she has always gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, calm, and cared for. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and never makes you feel rushed.Raiza is incredibly patient and understanding. I have even fainted during appointments before, and she has always been so kind, waiting for me to recover and making sure I’m okay before continuing. She does everything she can to make the experience easier, including using numbing cream, distraction techniques, and even a fan to help keep me comfortable throughout the treatment.If you have anxiety about injections or are looking for someone who genuinely cares about their patients, I cannot recommend Raiza enough. She is professional, compassionate, and truly the best at what she does. I will absolutely continue coming back to Avalon Laser because of her!Thank you, Raiza, for always taking such amazing care of me!"
"I’m so glad I stumbled upon Avalon Laser in Carlsbad. I’ve been getting Botox, PRP treatments, and facials for years at different med spas, so I’ve had plenty of experiences to compare. This was my first visit here, and I was extremely impressed.Brianna, the RN who did my Botox, was amazing. She took the time to really assess my face and what I actually needed instead of just using a standard number of units. I ended up needing about half the Botox I had been getting at other places, and it was also about half the price. The results look incredibly natural and honestly better than what I’ve had done elsewhere.I also just had a microneedling facial and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The treatment was professional and comfortable.Jessica at the front desk is wonderful as well. She’s incredibly patient, friendly, and very helpful when it comes to scheduling and working with you on pricing.If you’re looking for Botox, microneedling, PRP, or a great med spa in Carlsbad, I highly recommend Avalon Laser. I’m really happy I found this place and will definitely be coming back."
"I had an amazing experience at Avalon Laser! Jessica helped me check in and gave me a tour of their new med spa! I came in for a Diamond Glow facial with Sophie. The treatment exfoliated all the dead skin off my face, leaving my skin feeling smooth, bright, tighter, and so much cleaner. My complexion looked instantly refreshed and glowing!Raiza did my Botox for wrinkle prevention and a little lip filler for a touch of natural plump and I couldn’t be happier. Everything looks subtle and beautifully done. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Avalon Laser if you’re looking for top-tier aesthetic care with natural results! ❤️🥰"
"Came into this place with acne scars and have been treating microneedling for it. Sophie is extremely knowledgeable and Raiza does a fantastic job with my Botox. Everyone should come here!"
"I've received Botox from the San Diego Avalon office for years. But this time I took advantage of a Botox special at the Encinitas location and it was amazing. The staff were very accommodating and the location is beautiful."

The team is incredibly professional, and they made me feel completely at ease from the moment I walked in. The girls at the front are so warm and welcoming—super sweet and knowledgeable, which made the whole process even better.My Botox treatment was done with such care and precision; I noticed a smooth, natural-looking result almost immediately. They really listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Avalon Laser to all my friends. Thank you for making me feel confident and taken care of!"
"Top-tier experience for a first-timer — highly recommendI’m a male in my 40s and completely new to the world of aesthetics. I was genuinely nervous walking into Avalon Laser in Encinitas, but the staff immediately put me at ease. They were warm, knowledgeable, and took the time to really understand my concerns.The experience was truly consultative — not pushy or salesy in any way. They asked the right questions, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident moving forward. We decided to start with Botox, and now I have a clear, personalized plan that aligns with my goals.It meant a lot to have someone take the time to walk me through everything and make me feel so comfortable. For any guy on the fence about trying aesthetics, I highly recommend Avalon Laser. Total game-changer."
"I've always had such amazing experiences at Avalon for both botox and filler treatments. The front desk girls were so welcoming and friendly, the injectors are skilled and knowledgeable, + the results speak for themselves! Would highly recommend."
"As a 47-year-old guy who’s never really done anything cosmetic before, I was a bit hesitant walking into Avalon Laser — but I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience.The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. Tirgari and his team didn’t try to oversell anything. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted: a natural, refreshed look — not a drastic change.I ended up getting Botox for a few forehead lines and some filler to even out volume loss around my jawline. The results? Subtle but noticeable — exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve had multiple people tell me I look well-rested without knowing I had anything done.For any guy who’s been curious but unsure about this stuff, I highly recommend Avalon Laser. They’re professional, low-pressure, and excellent at what they do.— Wally S."

"I've been a long-term customer of Avalon Laser for more than a decade. I've tried IPL, Clear & Brilliant, and Botox treatments there and I've always been so happy with the results. This week, I treated myself to Clear & Brilliant for my face, laser hair removal for my legs, and a Brazilian bikini, and the nurse, Chealsea, who took care of me was just wonderful - so professional and friendly, she really put me at ease. The receptionist was also great, taking the time to explain all the payment options to me. The place is always so clean and welcoming. I highly recommend Avalon Laser for all your laser treatment needs!"
"I had my first visit with Dr. Tirgari for lip filler and Botox, and my experience was great! I was really excited but also unsure of what to expect since this was my first time getting Botox.His approach was very conservative with both the filler and Botox, which made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. We treated just the right amount, and I even have some filler left over for next time! I’m so happy with my results!! I feel beautiful and have already received compliments.Dr. Tirgari and his team made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!(:"

From the microneedling to Botox and dysport to facials. I haven’t had a bad experience. Nancy has made my experience off the charts. She makes all of her patients feel right at home. Ive also gone in requesting services that I heard about that were way more expensive and they told me I didn’t need it and recommend something less expensive that worked better. For me that’s everything. Tust is everything. Not to mention the girls in the front, Natalie and Audrey I the front are rockstars and so helpful. Highly recommend this place."

I was in a car accident leaving my face a little uneven. Dr. Tirgari and Tricia took the time (that other doctors did not) to listen to my specific needs and place products to fix my unusual situation. It looked natural but amazing!

I have had botox also and the results were great. Dr. Tirgari makes sure his staff is educated to the highest standards. I definitely feel safe with the care of my face to Dr. Tirgari, his nurses and staff. Highly recommend Avalon Laser to my friends and family and anyone who would ask for a recommendation!"
