I have been to many facial salons and dermatologists over the years, and I have had a range of experiences. When I met Soraya, she told me many things that I could do to improve my skin. At my age,61, I had used many expensive creams and treatments. When I began going to Soraya, she promised that my dry blotchy skin would improve and glow after a few months of treatments and she was right. She is Amazing! Very reasonably priced and she has healed my skin making it glow and taking years off of my appearance. I thought Botox was the way to look youthful, but actually it is Soraya's skin care treatments every six weeks that have been the most beneficial for me. Soraya is just a delight to work with and an angel with a beautiful soul. Highly recommend her. She is Vienna's best kept secret!

Soraya is wonderful! I've been going for a number of years and always look forward to the visits. She is kind and knowledgeable and takes the time to make you feel at ease. I highly recommend her services - you will not be disappointed!

I have been going to Soraya for many months now and I must say that she changed my life. I have tried everything to get rid of my facial hair, including creams, waxing, devices to rub the hair off, expensive gadgets that are shown on tv and I can personally say that none of them worked for me. I actually had an underlying medical condition which makes more hair grow thicker and darker, Soraya brought that to my attention and recommended that I see a medical doctor and I did just that. Because of her I am taking medication to make myself better and along with the laser treatment that she provides I feel like a new woman and I am much happier. Soraya changed my life for the better and for that I am truly thankful that I found her.

I recommend this place since I had multiple microdermabrasion done here and laser treatment. My face looks much better now than when I started the treatment. Soraya is professional. She educated me on options to improve my skin condition. I know my skin looked bad and I always covered with tons of makeup. Now I can say I'm almost makeup free and even my friend remarked how fresh and soft my face is. I would not have come back so many times if I would not like the place and the treatments I have received. Price is very good. Place is nice and very clean.

I have been using Soraya for a few years now. I've actually worked in the medspa industry and have had several different laser treatments with several different providers. Soraya is the only one to get my repeat business. She is wonderfully professional and at the same time, very warm and comforting. Laser hair removal can be a sensitive matter at times, yet I have always felt at ease and confident with Soraya. And I don't only visit her for laser, but her facial treatments as well. They are fantastic. Soraya is extremely knowledgeable about skin care and her products and is completely honest about what you can expect from her treatments. She takes the time to really consult with her clients, explain the science behind the treatment, find out what they truly want and what their expectations are. I have never received such individual attention from another provider. She is the only person I send my family and friends to see for treatment and has won the respect of all, from my teenager to my 60 year old mother.

Ever since I found Soraya years ago, I stopped going anywhere else. I've tried clinics and spas all over Washington and New York and now I go only to her. she is so amazing at her work, so professional, and so nice to be around, I drive down to Soraya's office from Potomac Maryland for my laser treatments and facials and buy my skin care creams. She has done laser on my legs, arms, bikini, and I feel like a new woman. I get more attention now than I ever did and I owe it all to Soraya. I highly recommend her, you won't regret it.

I’ve been going to Soraya for over 8 years. She was recommended to me by my doctor, who was also a client. I have done both electrolysis and laser with her with great results! I’ve recommended her to several of my friends and family. Some travel from Virginia Beach and New York to get hair removal treatments done by her. Soraya is flexible, knowledgeable, and a joy to visit! I’ve done electrolysis to my face, neck, and sideburns. And have done laser on my arms, legs, underarms, back of my neck, and more. I am forever recommending her to people because I’ve been so happy with the outcome. She’s transformed my face and I’m loving it!

I am SO grateful that I was recommended to Soraya for electrolysis and laser hair removal. With all of her skills and experience, she is absolutely the best (I had tried several other places before Soraya and was unhappy with the results) and her prices are more than reasonable. I live and work in Maryland and she is 100% worth the trip to Virginia. She evaluated my skin and hair and, between laser hair removal and electrolysis, the results have been incredible from head to toe. The confidence it has brought me is priceless and knowing that those embarrassing hairs will never grow back is thrilling. Moreover, Soraya makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease, which is really important when you're dealing with something as personal or embarrassing as excess facial/body hair. I highly recommend Soraya--she's experienced, dedicated, honest, and truly cares about her clients.

Too many women (my mom among them) do all the wrong things to remove unwanted facial hair--tweezing, shaving, waxing. Eventually they reach an age where they're dismayed at the consequences.

I don't want that to happen to me or my friends.

At MyGentleLase, Soraya will evaluate your skin and facial hair to determine the best course of treatment. She knows what she's doing. I've been going to her periodically for more than two years for post-menopausal hair growth. As a highly trained professional with many years of experience, she has my full trust.

Does electrolysis hurt? Not much, but some areas (and some people) are more sensitive than others. A numbing cream is available if you need it, and she'll adjust the equipment to a more tolerable setting. So before you do the wrong thing--or to stop yourself from doing it again--I highly recommend that you consult with Soraya.

I'm a 40 year old guy and have been going to Mygentlelase for many years. I've had both laser hair removal and electrolysis done to my arms, back, and shoulders. I've had awesome result and am so happy that my back hair is gone! Before I came to Soraya I had gone to two different doctors in Bethesda, Maryland and instead of the doctors doing the work I had their assistant technicians work on me. Here, Soraya does all the work herself and she is really knowledgable and professional with what she is doing. I highly recommend going to her, you won't find anyone better and nobody else will treat you with such personalized service.

Growing up into my adolescent years, I never really felt beautiful or self-confident when looking at my face in the mirror. I was always self-conscious about my upper lip and side burns. Soraya has saved me from these unwanted feelings and facial hair. Today, I can wake up in the morning and look at my visage feeling confident and natural. Thank you Soraya for giving me my life back!

If you are interested in laser hair removal, electrolysis, or skin care, you owe it to yourself to make an appointment with Soraya. She is highly experienced in the removal of hair and the care of skin—and her initial consultation is free. I have a very busy job that does not afford me the time to pamper my skin. Six years ago, I started facial treatments once a month with Soraya, as well as the use of Dr. Temt skin products designed for my skin type. I am complimented regularly on the quality as well as the youthful appearance of my skin (when my true age is finally revealed). Additionally, I utilized Soraya’s experience with hair removal. Wow! What a difference between shaving your legs (or getting them waxed) and laser hair removal. My legs are soft and smooth permanently; and what a treat not to shave any more. I highly recommend her services and products.

For a long time I was thinking of having laser hair removal but as a result of unsuccessful experience at dermatologist office I was very discouraged until I heard about Soraya. I went to her consultation. She was very informative and knowledgeable. She educated me about the whole experience and what to expect. I am so pleased to say I can have sleeveless or short dresses any time without being concern if my under arm or my legs need shaving. Soraya is the best and I am recommending her to anyone who is as particular about great service and ultimate result as I am.

When you get a facial from Soraya, you come out a new person. The whole experience is so relaxing, you feel like you have been to a high-end spa. Soraya has also helped me out with electrolysis, eye brow waxing, and bikini area laser. Wished I had done the laser years ago. Everything has always been top notch. Now I bring my daughter to Soraya for a teenage facial. Her skin and pores are so clean and clear. So, we stay one step ahead of any breakouts and she doesn't have to be embarrased by skin problems. I highly recommend Soraya for all the treatments she provides. And, we have become good friends over the past ten years!

I cannot say enough good things about Soraya. After several years of having electrolysis at another place with skin damage and bad results, I saw Soraya’s location as I was driving by one day and decided to give her a call. This was 10 years ago and I am still with her! In two months, Soraya finished the electrolysis in the area where I was being treated and with her advice and treatment, she was able to repair the skin damage from the previous electrolysis.

Soraya is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She treats you personally, answers all of your questions, and teaches you how to take care of your skin. Soraya is always upfront and honest about the time, cost, and the results of any treatment.

I have used many of Soraya’s great services to include her unbelievable facials. She was able to get rid of my milea when my dermatologist could not. Most recently, she did my wedding make up. I felt like a starlet for my wedding. Try her services and I am sure you will have same wonderful experiences I have for the last 10 years!

I have been going to GentleLase for over 8 years or so. It's a great local owned skin care establishment. Soraya, the owner and skin care specialist is wonderful. She is always professional and very helpful and tentative to my various requests needs. I started off doing electrolysis with her on my chin and the results were amazing. My skin on my face cleared up when I didn't even realize it would since I was only trying to have the hair removed. I guess from constantly touching my face I was spreading oil and germs. From there I started doing electrolysis on my bikini area and am so happy I did. Since then she has now started doing laser hair removal. I have done my arm pits, bottom legs, thighs and am trying to decide if there is anything else. Despite the hair removal techniques, she is also great at facials and eyebrow waxings. I would definitely recommend Soraya. She is a very experienced skin care specialist and she really takes pride in her work and cares for her clients as people and not just customers.

A relaxing environment with wonderful results. Soraya will put you at ease and make you feel at home while providing you with all your beauty needs. Professional yet friendly. A must-try!
