Talk Story with an Advertiser: Allure Laser Med Spa

Allure Laser Med Spa opened in Hilo a year ago and its staff has been busy helping people since they opened their doors. Conveniently located in the Hilo Shopping Center on Kilauea, Allure’s staff is headed by founder Lehuanani Akau, a doctor of nursing practice (DNP), advanced practice registered nurse with the ability to prescribe medicines (APRN-RX), and a board-certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-BC). Also providing treatments are Jodi Yu, RNC BSN, Kaiya Segundo, RN BSN, esthetician Candida Magallanes, laser technician Helani Kearse-Akau, in addition to office manager, Chanel Kawakami, BSN.

Allure offers proven medical-grade cosmetic enhancements and technologies that are non-invasive and look natural. Services provided are Dysport for lines and wrinkles, Restylane dermal filler augmentation, laser therapy, dry/sensitive skincare including facials, cellulite and body shaping therapy, lash lifts, IV hydration, teeth whitening, permanent makeup, laser hair removal, and waxing. Recently added primary care services are fully covered by most healthcare insurances such as HMSA, UHA, and others.

Dr. Akau opened her first practice in Waipahu, O‘ahu in 2017. She planned her second medical spa for Hilo, and was happy to find a central location with plenty of parking. Opening amidst Covid-19 was a challenge, however. Allure follows strict protocols to ensure their office, treatment rooms, and tools are all sterile, making sure everyone is safe, so people can fully relax and be pampered in this lovely environment.
