Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center

Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center – Traverse City: Northern Michigan’s Premier Destination for Regenerative Aesthetics and Laser Physics

Serving Traverse City, Leelanau County, Old Mission Peninsula, and the greater Northern Michigan region, the Traverse City pavilion of Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center (CSLC) operates as a highly sophisticated medical aesthetic clinic.

Originally co-founded in 2001 by medical director Dr. Gustav Lo, MD and Courtney Lo, the practice has spent over two decades pioneering non-surgical age reversal, high-performance light therapies, and cellular wellness. Moving away from standard corporate day spa models, CSLC emphasizes a specialized “consultation-first” philosophy. Every practitioner is intensively trained through the clinic’s internal advanced curriculum (CSLC University), ensuring precise anatomical mapping and natural structural harmony that avoids looking overdone or artificial.

Advanced Light Physics, Biological Reinforcements & Non-Surgical Facelifts

The Traverse City facility features modern clinical treatment rooms equipped with medical-grade technologies designed for multi-layered dermal and vascular remodeling:

• Custom Non-Surgical Facelifts & Tightening: Delivering comprehensive jawline structural crispness and lower-face elevation via advanced energy combinations, including Morpheus8® RF Microneedling, Ultherapy® micro-focused ultrasound, and precision PDO Thread Lifts.
• The Trademarked Laser Lift & FaceTite: Offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. This platform uses subdermal laser and radiofrequency energy to selectively liquefy small pockets of fat while simultaneously contracting loose skin tissue under the chin and along the jowls with minimal down-time.
• Multi-Wavelength Laser Resurfacing Fleet: Calibrating three distinct tiers of light therapies to match specific patient recovery profiles—ranging from Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for rosacea and vascular redness, to non-ablative ResurFX™ for smooth texture remodeling, up to deep ablative TotalFX™ UltraPulse® CO2 Laser Resurfacing for heavy acne scarring and deep structural wrinkles.
• Next-Generation PRF Microneedling: Infusing the skin with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)—the natural, advanced successor to PRP—to deliver concentrated growth factors deep into the dermal matrix during medical microneedling, dramatically accelerating cellular healing and skin brightness.
• Physician-Guided Cosmetic Injectables: Administering carefully placed, wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulators (Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin®) alongside the complete lines of Juvéderm® and Restylane® dermal fillers, plus collagen-stimulating biostimulators like Sculptra® and hyperdilute Radiesse®.
• Tailored Laser Hair Removal: Providing medical-grade hair clearance across all skin tones, featuring specialized, compassionate care protocols for PCOS-related facial hair patterns, menopausal shifts, and gender-affirming transitions.

Grand Traverse Bay Logistics & Neighborhood Proximity

Located at 3529 W. Front Street, the clinical pavilion sits in a peaceful setting immediately west of Traverse City’s historic downtown core:

• The Slabtown Edge Connection: Strategically positioned along West Front Street, directly bordering the vibrant Slabtown neighborhood and within a mile of Grand Traverse Bay. This highly familiar setting allows local professionals, resort community members, and area families to seamlessly weave an aesthetic or clinical skincare appointment into their weekly routines.
• Discreet Standalone Parking & Privacy: Featuring a dedicated, private on-site surface parking lot directly encompassing the building. This intentional layout offers maximum discretion for aesthetic clients and surgical patients, allowing a swift transition into a quiet environment while completely bypassing high-visibility downtown shopping storefront glass or multi-story public parking decks.
• Regional Northern Michigan Mobility: Located immediately along the primary western transit corridor out of downtown, providing direct access to M-22 and US-31. The facility entirely avoids central city traffic checkpoints, delivering a highly straightforward, stress-free commute for clients across Traverse City, as well as those driving in from Suttons Bay, Leland, Glen Arbor, Petoskey, and Cadillac
