From our convenient Lakeview location, we're proud to offer a full suite of clinical skin care services, all designed to make you look and feel your best. Whether you come in for the finest laser hair removal services in Chicago, laser skin rejuvenation or Glytone chemical peels, you can count on leaving a little more radiant when you visit us.
If you're a man interested in professional skin care or laser hair removal, you're not alone. At Lapiel Laser Center, we see a wide range of male and female clients. Guys seek spa treatments for many of the same reasons women do: to gain confidence, look more attractive, turn back the clock on signs of aging, etc.

Live, laugh, love - and develop a few facial lines along the way. That's the way life goes, right? While wrinkles may happen to nearly all of us, that doesn't mean you have to live with them. BOTOX has been clinically proven to dramatically improve the appearance of crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines, so it's not surprising that it's been used by millions of women and men.

This review is long overdue. I started going to Lapiel in Aug of 2018 (3 months before my wedding). What was supposed to be just a simple "wedding skin prep" service turned into a every 6 weeks with their former Aesthetician, Olivia. I would do a mixture of their Glytone Chemical peels and Dermalinfusion treatments (Buy a 3 treatment package - it's worth it). I was there until about March 2020 and then we all know happened. I recently went back in August for a botox treatment and am so happy with the results. I could gush on and on about this place but you just have to see for yourself

Catalina, Ariana and of course my girl Julie are all amazing. I have been going to LaPiel for years. Catalina is excellent, calm and patient. She talks you through while you’re getting the laser hair removal. It’s been a few years since I’ve gotten a touch-up, that’s how great she is.
Julie is fantastic! My skin has never felt better, plus the products are great for my sensitive skin. She never sells you on products or procedures you don’t need. Plus she is the sweetest! I see her every 6-8 weeks without fail.
Ariana, what can I say, she’s the face of LaPiel! Hilarious, very down

I’ve been going to Lapiel for a few years now and I love this business! I especially love the fact that it’s Nurse managed. Angelica & Catalina are amazing! Angelica is very efficient and knows her stuff. Do yourself a favor and schedule your next appointment with Angelica and you will not be disappointed!

Angelica is amazing! I have had laser hair removal for a Brazilian and under arms and the results are amazing. She is very professional and really took her time assessing the area to make sure I'd achieve the best results! The packages are pricey but the laser used yields the best results. I had tried places that offered groupons in the past and have not seen results. After just one session I noticed a significant difference. I will purchase more packages in the future!

Lapiel is the real deal. I'm new to Chicago and found Lapiel after trying to book an appointment at several other establishments who didn't return my call or advertised services on the website that they didn't actually offer. Lapiel got back to me within the day and booked my appointment the following day. Every single person I interacted with from booking to the consultation through payment was patient, kind, and thorough. They take the time to answer your questions and walk you through the process. Can't recommend them enough!

Wonderful caring place. Catalina explains all sides of the procedure. My face is younger than 15 years ago. Think I'm kidding I'm not. I had lines filled in when she used to do juvederm it still holds up. Twice a year skin tightening on my face and neck and my face has not sagged the way my brother and sisters have. Skin tightening is my key to a mostly wrinkleless face at age 57. I haven't had Botox either. I'm sure I'd look even better with it but I'm happy with 15 years of their skin tightening regularly.

This place is great - I have been going there for years (since 2014) and receive the best service. Catalina is always extremely professional and helpful. Getting laser hair removal has made a tremendous impact on my life as I struggled with an extremely painful ingrown hair issue for many years before. I wish I had done it sooner. I could not recommend Lapiel more!!

Anyone I ever encountered at the front desk at Lapiel was extremely unpleasant. They were inflexible and entirely unreasonable. I had been going there for a couple of years, and one time I arrived 5 minutes late and was told that my appointment would be cancelled and "as a courtesy" the cancellation fee would be waved. Please...Another time, I called on my way in a terrible snowstorm and traffic, and said that I would be late, and was charged the $75 fee. Not only was the woman who answered the phone rude, but no regard for the situation was given. Awful customer service.

Lovely and clean, the front desk staff is welcoming and efficient. My appointment started exactly on time and ended early. I had several sensitive areas treated and Catalina was flawlessly professional. Having had my initial consult with her, I was already comfortable with her and how detailed she was about the procedures. During the appointment, she explained to me each specific area she was about to treat and how, warned me accurately about pain levels and checked in with me consistently ensure I was comfortable and able to tolerate any "spicy" areas. She also kept the conversation breezy for

My first visit to Lapiel Laser Center was excellent! Everything was on time. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I'm very happy with the results that I got after one visit. The change was significant and better than I had expected. I've had laser hair removal done before, ten years ago, and the results weren't as good after one visit.
I'll also say that the price is great for the packages of treatments.

Review long overdue: I had a laser hair treatment a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier with the results! I did full leg, brazilian, upper lip and underarms. Skin feels soft and looks flawless!
The place itself is clean and Catalina is just amazing!! So patient and always communicating the next step during treatment.
So happy I invested in this!!

Catalina and her staff are fantastic! The spa is very stylish and clean, and I always received welcoming and professional service. I am so happy I chose Lapiel Laser Center for my hair removal. I had several sessions for my under-arm hair in summer 2018. Catalina explained the entire process to me and answered all my questions. I have dark hair and fair skin. I am still loving the results 18 months later! I would definitely return for additional laser hair removal services.

I just have to say I was super nervous about LHR being an African American women. But when I saw this business was family ran and by women I knew I was in great hands! Catalina and her team have been awesome and so friendly and accommodating everytime I've come in there.
Keep on doing what your doing ladies it's phenomenal.
My only request or suggestion would be for the LHR if clients can be given the option of an ice pack? I'm sure you may have a reason but the ice does help in addition to numbing cream to help ease the pain!
Thanks!

Love Lapiel! Very welcoming environment (and trans-friendly) with caring people. I had multiple series of full face and lip/chin laser hair removal treatments and was very satisfied with the results. I was initially terrified of laser hair removal on my face, but Catalina was great from the consultation through each session and consistently walked me through her honest (!) thoughts, expectations, and treatment approach. Ariana makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in and is the best. I highly recommend others stop in for a consultation. I look forward to come back for other treatments

The team at Lapiel have done wonders for my skin and my self-confidence. From the moment I stepped into Lapiel, I have been welcomed like family. Ariana and Julie have made each experience I have had relaxing and comfortable. Having skin issues has always been something that has made me feel self-conscious and stressed. With regimented and individualized skin care treatments, Julie has made me feel at home in my skin like never before. I am so glad I was able to find Lapiel and make it a part of my skincare routine. I highly recommend others looking for skin care, Botox, or laser hair removal services

The front desk manager Ariana really knows her stuff! She's so organized and efficient as well as friendly and outgoing - love her!
I've been to LaPiel about 5 times so far and never had a bad experience there. Recently I've started going to Olivia for SilkPeel facials. They are kind of like microderm but better because they deposit serum into your pores, in my case this helps with how exceptionally dry my skin is, but it can also be adapted for other skin types.

I got the chin/lip laser hair removal package and just finished my 3rd treatment. I am sooooo happy I invested in this! You need to make sure you go to a spot that has the correct laser for African American's (lasers do make a difference).
Catalina is so professional and my skin looks absolutely flawless. I was so sick of going to get threading and waxing done! I come here every 4 to 5 weeks and it has been a life saver. I'm a Lifestyle blogger and I attend many events where I'm photographed. I no longer have to feel self conscience. Love it!!!

I am SO excited to start laser hair removal treatments on my beard area with Lapiel. As an African American with skin VI type, it is so difficult to find experienced aestheticians who treat darker skin tones.
First I have to say that I absolutely love the interior design of this building. The hardwood floors throughout bring a certain class to the atmosphere.
My appointment was right on time. I came early , per request of Lapiel, and the receptionist informed me they were right on schedule.
The receptionist, Ariana, is fierce! We had great conversation about some great restaurants and Chicago
