Individual results may vary.
Franchise versus specialist
LaserAway is built on volume - laser hair removal, laser facials, and injectables sold across hundreds of locations. The franchise model means standardized protocols, rotating staff, and national pricing. HONEMD is a single studio. Our injectors are not interchangeable - our injector team see the same patients across visits, track results over time, and refine technique based on the relationship.

Why patients leave franchise practices for HONEMD
The most common story we hear from new HONEMD patients who've previously used a franchise: they didn't see the same injector twice, the upsell felt heavy, and the treatment plan didn't feel personal. None of that is unique to LaserAway - it's a structural feature of the franchise model. You get scale and convenience; you trade away continuity and judgment.
HONEMD trades the other direction. We don't have the convenience of a location in every city. We have one studio, our injector team does nothing but injectables, and you'll see the same person every time you come in.
What HONEMD offers
The full menu spans forehead wrinkle relaxer, glabellar 11s, crow's feet, brow lift, masseter tox for jaw slimming, trap tox, lip enhancement, cheek filler, jawline filler, chin filler, tear trough filler, biostimulator collagen treatment, and filler dissolving and rebuild.

Injectables aren't about chasing a look. They're about preserving the face you already have - measured, conservative, and always reversible if needed.

What you might be wondering
Will I save money at LaserAway?
It depends on what you're buying. LaserAway packages can look attractive on paper but often include treatments you may not need. HONEMD quotes in full at the consultation, with no bundles - you pay for what you actually want.
Can I see the same injector every visit?
At HONEMD, yes. That's part of the model. You'll see the same trained injector across visits, working under the medical direction of Shawn Abrishamy, MD.
Does HONEMD offer laser treatments?
No. HONEMD is injectables-focused. If you're looking for laser hair removal or laser facials, that's not what we do - and we'd rather tell you that than try to sell you something we don't specialize in.
What's the cost of a first visit?
The consultation is complimentary. If you decide to treat, wrinkle relaxer starts from $7.99 per unit and lip enhancement starts from $449 per syringe.
