PBD Aesthetics

PBD Aesthetics describes itself as a premier medical clinic in Phoenix and serves men and women of all ages from across the city. The clinic calls itself a medical aesthetics business and states that its procedures are performed by fully accredited professionals, which is the clinic's own claim.

Visits begin with a consultation in a private treatment room, where the team talks through the client's goals and concerns. From there, the clinic builds a customized treatment plan. Pricing depends on skin condition and the number of sessions, and is estimated at the consultation. The clinic offers monthly specials from time to time, skin treatment packages, and several payment options.

The clinic's laser and light-based work runs on the Alma Harmony XL PRO system, which includes a non-ablative Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, known as ClearLift, and an Er:YAG fractional ablative laser used for skin resurfacing. Laser hair removal covers the body and face, including arms, back, legs, face, chest, underarms and the bikini area. Multiple sessions over several weeks are typical, and the site notes that about six to eight sessions leave most people essentially hair free.

Pigment and tone work includes laser treatment for hyperpigmentation, which the clinic says usually takes under an hour per visit with improvement often seen within about four sessions spaced a month apart, and laser melasma treatment, which typically needs multiple sessions and may require follow-up over time. Resurfacing can diminish the appearance of scars and improve skin tone, texture and pore size, and a topical anesthetic is applied beforehand.

DYE VL is the clinic's photofacial, combining a pulsed dye laser with intense pulsed light to address uneven complexion, age spots, sun spots, rosacea and superficial broken capillaries. Most patients see mild, temporary redness, swelling, crusting, blisters or bruising that should settle within a few days. Clients are asked to avoid sun and self-tanners for at least two weeks beforehand, and to keep treated skin protected from the sun afterward. Anti-inflammatory medications and blood thinners may need to be paused for a week before treatment, with instructions given at the consultation.

New patients are asked to contact the office to schedule. Appointments can also be requested through an online scheduling form, with questions going to the front office staff. The listed office hours on the site cover Monday through Wednesday.

Treatment plans are built around each client's goals and concerns after a consultation, and the clinic states that individual results are not guaranteed and may vary.

Consultations take place in private treatment rooms, and the office has a waiting area.
