Great staff, they take really good care of us. They answer our questions, provide great suggestions and guess what…a real live person answers the phone.
Because of their product and services I’m in the best shape.
I came to CSLC in Petoskey to address facial age spots/sunspots. The service I received was exceptional. They made scheduling very easy, and hassle-free. From the first moment I felt safe, welcomed, and in professional hands. I received IPL treatment to my face. I wasn’t convinced it would work! But 4 weeks later, 90% of my brown spots and discoloration is gone. My skin tone is much more even. Thank you!
I love how personable Jozlynne is. She makes the whole experience so comfortable and relaxing. Rene' was also very great!!”
After a long illness, the effects on my body have been brutal. This magnificent team of professionals helped by evaluating my medical history, developing a long term plan, & understanding my desire to feel like myself again.
Jozlynne is so kind, a true artist. While my needs are minimally invasive; my confidence in returning to health in all aspects is through the roof. The average Joe may not see a drastic change and that’s kind of the point.
I went into the office feeling that this was a vanity move & came out realizing it was self care in its purest form.
First visit to the Petosky office. Normally a client in Naples. As usual, the staff was so helpful, courteous and professional. Always a pleasure going there!
Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center is run by highly trained knowledgeable and caring clinicians. It’s a real treat on the occasion you get to see Dr. Lo. the clinic itself is well appointed and spotless, calming and very inviting. They have the most advanced proven care opportunities whether yoyry skin, general health or weight loss they are eager to share their offerings and knowledge.. I have and do recommend the office to my friends and family.
CSLC has knowledgeable and highly professional staff that deliver exceptional service.
Great experience!
My first facial & I actually enjoyed it
I went in to get a blackhead removed & Elisabeth removed it without a problem.
Everybody was very nice.
Amazing experience!! Went in for a tattoo laser removal and was treated so kindly!! All the women working whether it’s front desk or the woman who lasered me were so fantastic and nice!! I absolutely cannot wait to go back for my second round!! Amazing pricing as she was willing to work with me getting four tattoos removed and quoted me such a good price!! Such an amazing place and environment 10/10 would recommend for any type of service you need this place is so amazing!!
I had a very pleasant experience! Rene was gentle and informative. You will not be disappointed! ♡ I look forward to returning.

Frequently Asked Questions
about CSLC in Petoskey
About Your Visit

Skin Rejuvenation & Facials
At CSLC Petoskey, we offer advanced skin treatments and facial therapy to rejuvenate tone, texture, and glow. Popular options include Hydrafacial, microneedling with PRF or exosomes, Sculptra, fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing with Total FX, and IPL. We’ll customize a plan based on your goals and skin type.
If you're searching for the best facial in Petoskey, CSLC has you covered. Our facials are customized to your skin’s needs—whether that’s hydration, anti-aging, or pigment correction. Favorites include the CSLC Recovery Facial, Hydrafacial, and our Foundation Trio, which targets sun damage and boosts radiance.
We offer a full menu of professional facials at CSLC Petoskey, including Hydrafacial, the Recovery Facial, dermaplaning, and VI Peels for deeper exfoliation. We often combine treatments for even better results.
At CSLC Petoskey, we offer non-surgical facial rejuvenation with Sculptra, CO2 laser resurfacing with Total FX, threads, and PRF injections. These treatments restore youthful volume, improve skin texture, and boost collagen—all tailored through a personalized consultation.
Injectables
At CSLC Petoskey, we use a full range of dermal fillers including Juvederm, Restylane, and hyperdilute Radiesse.
Our injectors are nationally trained and focus on balance and subtlety—whether it's lips, cheeks, or jawline, your results will look naturally refreshed.
Yes! Under eye treatment is a big focus of our CSLC University. If you constantly hear, “You look tired,” even when you’re not—it might be volume loss, thinning skin, or poor circulation beneath the eyes. At CSLC Petoskey, we take a layered approach to treating under-eyes.
First, we focus on stimulating collagen with medical-grade skin care and regenerative treatments like microneedling or laser to improve skin texture and tone.
For visible hollowing or darkness, we often recommend a series of under eye PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections. PRF uses your body’s own platelets to brighten, smooth, and restore volume—safely and naturally. In more pronounced cases, under eye filler (carefully placed by our expert injectors) can further soften hollows and lift shadows.
Because the eye area is delicate, every treatment is customized to your anatomy and goals.
The result? A fresher, more rested look—without looking “done.”
Yes—when performed by a highly trained injector, lip fillers are safe and deliver natural-looking results. At CSLC Petoskey, we use only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers and advanced techniques to ensure precision, safety, and long-term satisfaction.
Like any injectable, there can be mild side effects like swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare but serious risks—such as vascular occlusion—are very uncommon, especially in expert hands. That’s why experience matters.
Absolutely. At CSLC Petoskey, our philosophy is simple: you should still look like yourself—just more refreshed and confident. We specialize in subtle, natural enhancements, not exaggerated or overfilled looks.
Whether you’re softening lines, restoring volume, or defining features, we take a conservative, “less is more” approach—and tailor everything to your face, your age, and your goals.
If you’re looking for natural-looking filler, we’d love to help. Start with a one-on-one consultation.
Yes—and it’s more common than ever. At CSLC Petoskey, we help male patients enhance their confidence with discreet, natural-looking treatments—like jawline definition, under-eye support, and softening deeper lines.
We understand that men want results that look strong, sharp, and undetectable—not puffy or overdone. Every treatment is customized to your features and goals.
Absolutely. Dermal filler isn’t the only way to restore volume or improve facial structure. At CSLC Petoskey, we also offer biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse, as well as PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—which stimulate your body to rebuild collagen over time.
These regenerative options are great if you want to improve skin texture, firmness, or tone, without adding visible volume. We often pair them with energy-based treatments or advanced skin care for longer-lasting results.
Laser & Energy-based Treatments
CSLC Petoskey offers medical-grade laser hair removal for all skin types. We treat the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and more. Our true laser technology (not IPL) ensures safe, lasting results—and we’ve been doing it since 2001.
CSLC Petoskey offers Ultherapy, PDO threads], Laser Lift, and Morpheus8 for non-surgical skin tightening. These treatments firm the jawline, neck, and face by stimulating deep collagen regeneration.
BBL (BroadBand Light), IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser resurfacing all improve skin—but they target different concerns. BBL and IPL are ideal for surface-level pigmentation, redness, and sun damage.
Laser resurfacing (like TotalFX, Fractionated CO2 or Fraxel) goes deeper to stimulate collagen, smooth texture, and reduce fine lines. Many patients benefit from a combination.
If you’re noticing sagging around the jawline or neck, non-surgical skin tightening may be right for you. At CSLC Petoskey, we use advanced treatments like FaceTite, Ultherapy and Morpheus8 to gently heat tissue and boost collagen. Most patients see results over a few sessions, with continued improvement for months.
Want firmer skin without surgery? Let’s talk at your CSLC consultation and develop a treatment plan for your unique features and concerns.
Yes, we offer Morpheus8 treatments at CSLC in Petoskey and all of our Michigan and Florida locations. Morpheus is an advanced, FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling treatment that remodels collagen, tightens skin, and improves tone and texture—all with minimal downtime.
But at CSLC, we don’t just offer Morpheus—we specialize in it.
