Paige was a great esthetician! Very knowledge and made excellent recommendations. I enjoyed my hydrofacial.
Kolleen listens to what you are looking for and is amazing at doing exactly what you need. I cant say enough great things about CSLC. We moved from No MI and I still end up coming back to Kolleen.
I can't say enough good things about my facial! Jenson was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel completely relaxed and cared for throughout the entire process. My skin was glowing and hydrated, I left feeling refreshed and pampered!
I Highly recommend Jenson! The Hydrafacial was pure bliss!
As a person who had no prior experience with laser therapy I felt incredibly comfortable. Thank you to my very kind esthetician. Highly recommended!
What a lovely facility. Everyone was very helpful and attentive and open to answering any and all questions. Paige was great during my procedure and I will be back. TC is lucky to have this resource.
Kolleen Bartosek*PA did an amazing job! All the staff is so kind and wonderful. A must go to place for any and all cosmetic needs!
Mikaliah was wonderful today. She was extremely professional, kind and competent. I am excited to see the results of Ultherapy!
I went through the hardest few years of my life. My Mom had a stroke and it upended my life. She subsequently passed away. I was left in grief and had lost my spark. I had heard a dermatologist say that sometimes to tackle grief, you have to heal from the outside in. I started to go and get facials at the Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center in Traverse City with Jensen. Then, I got Botox and lip filler with Mikailah.
These ladies brought me back to life. They will forever be my queens. From the minute you walk in, you feel like you belong. The staff at every interaction are kind, knowledgeable, helpful and want you to look and feel your best. It’s a full face, undetectable philosophy. They help you meet your goals and are respectful about your budget. I will forever be grateful for their kindness, the laughs we’ve shared and their commitment to the very best of everything. Run, don’t walk, to the Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center.
Jensen is the absolute best! I cannot recommend her enough. She took the time to explain the process thoroughly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.
What truly sets her apart is her professionalism, positive attitude, and genuine care for clients. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and she is committed to helping people feel their best.
CSLC is lucky to have her on the team. I am already planning my next treatments.
Thank you!!!
This company has it all together! The staff is all about giving you a five star experience. Their expertise is unquestionable. The staff makes you feel special and good about yourself. This is truly TC’s finest way to pamper yourself.

Traverse City Laser Hair Removal
A small change that
frees up your whole routine
Maybe it’s the razor burn. Or the constant maintenance. The self-consciousness. Or maybe the feeling of always needing to “get ready.” Laser hair removal isn’t just about smooth skin—it’s about time back, comfort reclaimed, and confidence without the second-guessing. At CSLC Traverse City, we treat this like the decision it is, not a quick service on a menu. We’ll talk about what matters most to you—skin sensitivity, lifestyle, and long-term results—then build a treatment plan around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
about Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center in Traverse City
About Your Visit
CSLC Traverse City has been one of Northern Michigan’s most trusted medspas since 2001. Patients choose us for safe, natural results and expert-led care in a warm, welcoming setting. From Botox to laser treatments, our results-focused approach and advanced provider training set the standard in Traverse City.
Skin Rejuvenation & Facials
At CSLC Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, including Hydrafacial, the Recovery Facial, dermaplaning, and VI Peels for deeper exfoliation. We often combine treatments for even better results.
At CSLC Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City 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 Traverse City 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City 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.

You’re not just another
appointment on the books.
At CSLC Traverse City, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all aesthetics. You’ll never be rushed, pressured, or handed a treatment menu without conversation.
Instead, we start by listening—to your goals, your hesitations, and your questions. From there, we’ll walk you through what’s possible and what feels right. No pressure, just thoughtful guidance. Ready when you are.
