Skincare specialists Preferred Laser held a grand opening for their Cedar Park office on May 20.

What they offer

The laser-based medical spa offers a wide array of treatments, including laser hair removal, microneedling, dark spot removal and treatment for vascular lesions, or spider veins. They also offer the speciality Clear + Brilliant treatment, which utilizes fractional lasers to target skin afflictions like acne and scarring.

The company utilizes products from Epicutis Skincare, which specializes in safe products with very few ingredients to help maintain a healthy skin balance.

Digging deeper

Owner and esthetician Brittany Roper was inspired to start the business because of her own transformational experience with laser-based medical skin treatments. After suffering a severe sunburn in middle school, Roper was plagued with cystic acne on her back that made her feel self conscious.

“I understand what it’s like to feel insecure about yourself,” Roper said. “It bleeds into every aspect of your life.”

She said she tried dozens of treatments, from over the counter products to medical consultations, but didn’t see any results until receiving the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment.

“I looked like a different person,” she said. “It changed my whole life and put me on this career path.”

Roper trained as an esthetician and worked her way up in the industry before deciding to strike out on her own.

“I’ve worked with other companies that have cut corners and cut costs, and it’s really sad because I don’t align with that morally,” she said. “Trust that I’m truly doing it the preferred way, because you deserve it.”

What else?

For the remainder of May, Preferred Laser is offering 60% off laser hair removal and 50% off all other services. Roper said that all clients will receive 50% off for life after their eighth treatment with the company.
