Los Angeles – September 20, 2026 -- LaserAway has opened its 231st U.S. location in Visalia, California, at 3413 S Mooney Blvd, Unit 101, marking two decades of operation without a single clinic closure.
LaserAway marks 20th anniversary with zero clinic closures since 2006 launch
The Visalia opening coincides with the company's 20th anniversary, a milestone the privately owned, franchise-free operator says is rare in both retail and medical aesthetics. LaserAway was founded in 2006 by Dr. Roy Winston alongside brothers Scott, Brock and Todd Heckmann, starting from a single clinic on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.
Network now spans 36 states under centralized medical oversight
LaserAway currently operates across 36 states, with all procedures performed by licensed medical professionals including nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Will Kirby oversees a Medical Board of more than 25 board-certified dermatologists, supported by a staff of roughly 700 nurses companywide.
Visalia clinic adds full injectable and body-contouring menu
The new location offers laser hair removal, Botox, dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation and body-contouring procedures such as CoolSculpting and Thermage. It also introduces LaserAway Wellness Injections, administered under clinical supervision.
"When we opened our first clinic on Sunset Boulevard, we knew there was a massive opportunity to make these treatments accessible to everyone—not just a privileged few," said Scott Heckmann, co-founder and CEO of LaserAway.
