in the last weekI have been seeing Dr Halaas for over 10 years and the experience has always been outstanding. Plus her referrals to other experts has been top notch! I will not use another person for my facial needs! Highly recommended.

in the last weekI absolutely love Dr. Halaas & her entire staff. I started my journey over 5 years ago to find a cure or any solution for my facial paralysis after having Bells Palsy. I visited many doctors and tried many treatments with little to no success. When I was offered the opportunity to be seen by Dr. Halaas I jumped at the opportunity. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Halaas for treating me. The difference on the firmness and muscle tightening on my face is incredible. I am able to make facial expressions I hadn’t made in years and my face looks different. I haven’t felt beautiful for a long time but Dr. Halaas has given me hope of one day getting there. Thank you Dr. Halaas!!

a week agoMya E. I’ve been going to Dr. Halaas for about six months now for Bell's palsy, and she is incredible. The results have substantially improved my facial mobility; I have so much more movement on the left side of my face, and it doesn't feel nearly as tight as it did before. The treatment is great—it takes a few sessions to get adjusted to the routine, but it doesn't hurt at all, and they make sure you are totally comfortable!
