Since 1997, laser epilation, commonly referred to as laser hair removal, has been an FDA approved method for permanently removing and reducing the growth of unwanted hair on the face, legs, back, chest, stomach, arms, neck, bikini area, underarms, or pretty much anywhere else. Every year, more and more men and women try laser treatments for permanent hair removal. They're sick of the daily hassles of traditional hair removal maintenance—the shaving, tweezing, or waxing regimens.
All laser hair removal systems use the science of selective photothermolysis—a process that directs heat toward the melanin in the skin. The melanin then absorbs the heat and can be destroyed while the rest of the skin is undamaged.
If you're interested in laser hair removal, there are still many variables left to consider, including an array of options in laser types (including comparable pulsed light devices), procedural approaches, and available professionals. We can help you in this process by arranging for a complimentary consultation with a hair removal specialist.
Alexandrite Laser: One of the fastest and most often used laser types, it's great for handling large areas.
Diode Laser: Works best on darker skin tones. Covers a lot of area quickly, but doesn't always get the job done with lighter, finer hairs.
Nd:Yag Laser: This long pulse laser also struggles with finer hair and can be a bit painful, but it works on patients of all skin types and has an excellent repetition rate.
Intense Pulsed Light Devices: Though not actually lasers, they use the same technique of selective photothermolysis as most laser systems. IPL units are difficult to run, however, and require expert technicians.

Still in the recovery stage, so I can't see final results. What I can say is that I was well-informed of the procedure and expectations. There were no surprises, and that's a good thing!
I'll Definitely Be Back For Your Services!!!
Posted by KRIS N. on March 13, 2015 .
I had a great experience. I was one of the people affected by the American Laser shutdown and was disappointed by the loss of money from services i bought. I'm very happy i came in for a consultation so i could learn what pricing you could offer for future services. Plus it was SO kind and unexpected that you would give me my final laser hair removal for the legs...and the glycolic peel.....THANK YOU!! i will definitely be back to use your services!

Posted by TINNA O. on March 6, 2015 .
The spa was beautiful. The staff gave me a tour and explained what procedures are done in each room. Every procedure, equipment and the materials used were thoroughly explained. The esthetician gave helpful advice and was engaging. I was very please with my procedure, the spa and the entire experience!

I am extremely thrilled and impressed with the results of the laser hair removal services. I saw great results even after the first session.

Painless most of the time, great customer service and knowledgeable staff who take great care of me, just slower results than anticipated.
Posted by MICHELLE R. on February 27, 2015 .
Staff was very informative and seemed to know what they're doing. I can already see the effects after my 1st visit.
Posted by DEANA C. on February 27, 2015 .
Very thorough hair removal treatment.

Very Satisfied With Facial Hair Removal Results!
Posted by MINERVA R. on October 31, 2014 .
I am very satisfied with the results of my laser hair removal. When I first started with my facial hair removal, the hair was thick and abundant. It looked like I had a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. The hair now is almost gone and I no longer have a 5 o'clock shadow!
Posted by CHANDREE V. on October 23, 2014 .
Very quick- appointment only took 15 minutes which I wasn't expecting. Great service. Friendly technician.

I was expecting there to be a difference sooner. There is a difference but this is a lot of hair still remaining.
Posted by JORDAN W. on October 4, 2014 .
I'm doing full leg, Brazilian, lip, and under arm. Getting best results with underarm and bikini. I'm seeing drastic results in leg but taking longer than I expected to work. Lip worked in probably 2 sessions however I have a lot of blonde hairs that probably won't go away.
Posted by CANDACE T. on October 2, 2014 .
Definitely see results. It just takes time. Happier with the results since switching to the YAG laser, which is better suited for my skin and hair type.
Posted by HAIBA K. on October 1, 2014 .
I love the women at the treatment center: they are polite, understanding, honest, careful and cautious. They treat me so well and I have recommended them to so many of my friends. I trust them very much and they always do their best to make sure I am comfortable and safe. This is the only laser center I would never trust anyone or any other center for hair removal and I am so happy with the package they gave me- it was affordable and I was able to continue going to the center even after I finished my payment.
Posted by JOHANNE E. on September 30, 2014 .
I signed up a few years ago for full body hair removal. It cost me an arm and a leg but I was tired of getting ingrown hairs every time I shave. The results are amazing. It takes me about 10 mins to shave my body. The machine they use is almost painless. The sessions can be quick depending on the kind of treatments getting done.
Posted by PATRICIA D. on September 29, 2014 .
Progress has been somewhat slow, but I'm happy with my results so far.

Hair Removal Results Are Amazing!
Posted by MONA S. on September 27, 2014 .
The results are amazing. My expectations were pretty low. I really had no faith. But lo and behold the change that I see is miraculous. After 5 sessions I see the change that has occurred. The hair growth is minimal and the dark spots have almost completely disappeared.
Posted by MARYAM H. on September 26, 2014 .
They are fast and not too painful. I wish you would have other machine to lose the gray hair too.
Posted by JESSICA H. on September 26, 2014 .
I wasn't aware that laser hair removal could or would be painful. It is not super painful, but it is very itchy and I wasn't prepared for that either. I am enjoying the decrease in hair growth but I did think that I would have more results by now.
Posted by KATHRYN L. on September 23, 2014 .
Posted by LINDSAY C. on September 21, 2014 .
Much of the growth has slowed or stopped. Still haven't finished treatments.

Posted by VAIBHAV P. on September 12, 2014 .
A bit painful (which is understandable), but the new laser is way more effective than the earlier laser. Length of session is fine. Expectation is that this thing gets done as soon as possible.
Posted by CORY G. on September 10, 2014 .
I'm very happy with the results and I'm considering additional services.
Posted by ZILMA P. on September 8, 2014 .
I bought the full body laser hair removal package. I have been doing the treatments for a little over a year. Depending on which part of the body I am doing sessions can last from 15 minutes to one hour. I have been somewhat satisfied with the results, I expected to see more reduction by this point in the treatment; however, there has only been about 50% reduction on the legs, abdomen, buttocks, and bikini. The face has been a pain to deal with, at times it seems like it is going well then it backfires. The underarms have been very satisfying.
Posted by KAREN B. on September 8, 2014 .
I had a series of treatments a couple of years ago and was so happy with the results, I went back when new facial hair began to appear. The practitioners are also pleasant, communicative, efficient and methodical.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Is Fast & Painless!

Bobbie is so sweet and helpful, she really tries to work with you to be able to get you what you want out of the clinic, treatments, etc. Sam the tech is awesome at her job, she really listens to me and makes me feel comfortable when being treated! I really love all the staff at my treatment facility!!
Posted by GINA T. on July 31, 2014 .
It was so quick - I thought it would take longer - I was impressed and surprised. The results are good considering I have only been there for 2 treatments.
Posted by ED M. on July 24, 2014 .
Posted by JUDY S. on July 23, 2014 .
Always a great experience. Very quick and so professional. I don't get embarrassed w the bikini area again because staff is so professional. Thank you!
Posted by MICHELLE Z. on July 23, 2014 .
I purchased the face area with ten sessions. While some areas are hair free, new hair and patches of hair still remain. I purchased another set of ten hoping to finalize a permanent solution. At most, i think this is long term hair removal but not fully permanent for all. However, i do think it is a better solution to waxing, threading or shaving. I really hope that after these additional sessions, my areas of concern have been treated and if they are not, i would hope that ALS will stand by their values and advertisements.
Posted by KAREN D. on July 13, 2014 .
I hadn't been to a session in about 3 years. The laser was different since the last time I went. This one was less painful and so much quicker. It lasted 30mins for my bikini and legs. What an upgrade. Now I can finally look forward towards my sessions. This was by far my best experience since I started. Everyone is really friendly and professional from Angelina to the woman who did my laser removal. I forgot her name but next time I go, I'll make sure to ask. My expectations were beyond exceeded!
Posted by CLAIR E. on July 11, 2014 .
My results are great. It exceeded my expectations. The staff is really great. I will purchase more different treatments in the office.
Posted by CARLA C. on July 1, 2014 .
I like the machine used; it has cool air that comes out simultaneously which slightly eases the heat/pain of the laser. My results have varied, but overall good. The best results I've had were my sideburns. If photos were taken, I promise I could have been a poster child for that treatment. Other areas are slower to show results, but I understand that.
Posted by LIZ G. on June 22, 2014 .
I see results overall. It is a bit frustrating that I still have some hair left. It is interesting that some areas are better off than others.
Posted by NOELIA A. on June 11, 2014 .
Neerja the technician that has been treating me is great. She takes her time and explains every step to the treatment. I am on my second treatment on multiple areas and I am pleased with the results. There is less hair growing back.
Posted by IRENE C. on June 9, 2014 .
DARCEY PROVIDES A GREAT EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I GO FOR MY TREATMENT. SHE IS JUST WONDERFUL AND IS A PERFECTIONIST WHEN DOING THE TREATMENT. SHE REALLY TAKES PRIDE IN HER WORK AND THE RESULTS SHOW.

very satisfied with lower leg removal. facial not as much.
Posted by LOUIS P. on May 16, 2014 .
Everything that I have experienced with this clinic has been spectacular. From the advancement of the equipment to the professional technicians. The results have been slow but steady and noticeable. The technicians have been nothing short of spectacular.
Posted by ELNARA A. on May 8, 2014 .
Great results. My sessions are quick.
Posted by CANDICE P. on May 8, 2014 .
The treatment itself was not long- 10 to 15 minutes. At first I did not understand that the results of hair removal would take some time, but i am completely happy with the outcome now.
The staff are very knowledgeable on hair removal. I can not say in words how happy i feel comfortable that they ask how you feel of the results how the staff looks over the areas that need treatment plus they make me feel at ease.
Posted by PATRICIA D. on May 4, 2014 .
I like the machine that they use cuz i don't really feel pain.
So Relaxing I Nearly Dozed Off!
Posted by ZAIN Y. on May 3, 2014 .
More than expected assistant manager Ting Lin A+ effort, helped I got 70% off also. Session was painless and tell you the truth relaxing that I almost fell asleep.
Posted by CAMILLE B. on May 2, 2014 .
EVEN WITH THE NEWEST OF TECHNOLOGY, I STILL HAVE TO APPLY NUMBING CREAM, ESPECIALLY THE BIKINI AREA AND LOWER LEGS. OTHER THAN THAT IT APPEARS TO BE AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. I HAD SEVERAL ALREADY AND THE HAIR IS DIMINISHING. IT IS NICE NOT TO HAVE TO SHAVE ALL THE TIME!
Posted by FELICIA R. on May 1, 2014 .
The experience on the newer machine is significantly improved. I hope the results are as well. The team at ALS in New City is fantastic and part of the reason i return to that center. Sloan & Jackie are truly Customer Service focused and very appropriate as customer facing and representing the center.
Nancy & Jenn Are The BEST!!!
Posted by ADRIANA C. on April 23, 2014 .
I'm happy with the treatments but I did think that I wouldn't see any more hair on some areas and also the Zerona and Vela would made more difference on the results. But I still going there for laser hair removal and I LOVE the 2 ladies I've known forever (since I started the treatments) Nancy Ayello and Jenn are THE BEST. I would be VERY HAPPY if I could have few more of the Zerona treatments and a touch up on the areas I still see some hair if possible of course. I do tell all of my friends about the treatments and I think you guys are doing a GREAT JOB!!!!
Posted by LANA S. on April 22, 2014 .

I really have seen the results very quickly with this package of laser hair removal treatments. Much better machine then 5 years ago.
Posted by GINA V. on April 18, 2014 .
Kenisha the aesthetician who did my laser hair removal treatment was wonderful. She's very knowledgeable, makes me feel at ease and is very thorough when doing my treatment.
I have been getting laser hair removal treatments with the Gentle Max Pro. I have very high expectations given the cost. Also, I have been told I'm a very good candidate because I have very light skin and dark hair. The weeks to follow after a treatment when I see hair returning, I get discouraged however I'm still very hopeful given that fact I have a few more visit.
Posted by GERI B. on April 18, 2014 .
Laser is much more comfortable than others I've tried and the results are better.
Posted by MICHELLE W. on April 14, 2014 .
The last laser that was being used did not work for me. I am now starting to see results with the new laser machine.
Posted by MICHELLE R. on April 4, 2014 .
Staff is very good at explaining what they're doing and checking the intensity of the laser vs my pain threshold, etc. Sessions are quick.
Posted by MISTIE D E. on April 2, 2014 .
I've been treating the same area for 2 years and went through 2 different machines - I am happy to be finished.
Posted by NIJMEH A. on April 2, 2014 .
The last laser tech was amazing. Very thorough. and sweet. I will always book with her.
Posted by LINDA D. on March 31, 2014 .
I am glad I decided to have this done.
Overall, I am pleased with the results of the hair removal from my bikini line. I may need one or two more spot treatments at the rate quoted to me. I think American Laser Skincare should offer numbing cream for the treatments.
Posted by GINA V. on March 29, 2014 .
With each visit I see less and less hair. In some areas the hair is even less coarse. The staff is very good and make you feel at ease & comfortable. I have been seeing the same aesthetician Ting for my bikini area but she happened to be out on my last visit. I was very nervous seeing another aesthetician but Kenisha made me feel very comfortable as well.
Before I share my thoughts about final results I have a few more treatments left. After all my treatments are done then I will be better able to express how I feel about it's success. However, I can say, with each visit I see less and less hair. In some areas the hair is even less coarse. I can also say the staff is very good and make you feel at ease & comfortable. I have been seeing the same aesthetician Ting for my bikini area but she happened to be out on my last visit. I was very nervous seeing another aesthetician but Kenisha made me feel very comfortable as well.
Posted by ANGELA G. on March 27, 2014 .
The Laser hair removal is fine, although I think the White Plains facility deserves a second machine for when theirs breaks down. I was disappointed with the Vela. I tried it once, and was in too much pain when the machine reached towards my joints. It was like someone jamming nails in my knee and thigh :( I'd definitely recommend the laser hair removal though & might consider having more done. The ladies there are beyond nice & accommodating.
Posted by SHARDA B. on March 26, 2014 .
The new laser caused my face to break out. I never had this issue with the old machine. I've stopped treatment on my face and I'm only having my underarms treated. I'm very satisfied with the overall results. I just wish my face didn't have the breakouts after the laser. Also, please note that everyone at the laser center are extremely pleasant and helpful.

I purchased laser hair removal for my chest, lip, and neck area. I was skeptical at first because I had tried everything, but this feeling of waking up and not having to wax or shave the area is great. The process has been so liberating.
Posted by SIMONE P. on March 26, 2014 .
I first started of with my under arms. The results have been great and quick! So far the results with the hair on my legs have been good too, tad slower but still good.
Posted by JASMINE N. on March 26, 2014 .
Before the lasers used to be really painful. I am happy that the laser was switched to this new one. I really like the time spent in sessions, not to long. The pain is there when doing my Brazilian area, and I really like the stress balls provided.
Posted by GINA P. on March 25, 2014 .
I have only done laser hair removal so far and still have 4 sessions left but I am extremely pleased with the results. I wish I had done it years ago.
Posted by NAZIMA P. on March 24, 2014 .
The treatments were okay but the machine that they used would get really hot so I had to wait sometimes in between treatments for the machine to cool down. Also the shavers were not good, I sometimes was shaved dry and that was uncomfortable.
Posted by MEETA A. on March 24, 2014 .
My experience has been great so far. I am only experiencing the new technology, which is great. Time spent could be a tad more. But it also could be the way I have hair growth.
Posted by MELANIE P. on March 22, 2014 .
Posted by LOUIS P. on March 20, 2014 .
I have seen all of the different lasers that you have used over the past year and a half, and this last treatment that I received with the 18 gauge laser on the cool max machine was by far the best for results. While it is a bit more intense than your other machines I am very happy with the result that I received from this last treatment.

There is a girl Niraja, she is wonderful. I always ask for her.
Results are amazing I am very happy. I am middle Eastern I was not sure it was going to work.
Posted by DANA T. on March 5, 2014 .
The laser treatment took a lot less time than I expected. The staff member Kenisha was wonderful. She explained what was going to happen before she started and when she started on a new area, she would do one spot and ask me if it was ok.
Kenisha was wonderful. She explained everything before starting and allowed me to adjust the levels if the pain was too much.
Posted by JOSHLENE S. on March 4, 2014 .
I really like the new lasers they are amazing. The recovery time is not a problem, it is an in and out service.
Posted by ERIK B. on March 4, 2014 .
I think overall the staff members were friendly. I did have a new person doing my treatments each time, it was fine.

My results have been very good, although I still had to purchase a lot of spot treatments after my 2 year unlimited treatments.
Posted by MIKE N. on February 26, 2014 .
From my experience the results are good for a while but the longer you wait before your next treatment the more hair regrows. My results were a little different than what I expected.
Posted by DANIELLE Z. on February 26, 2014 .
I'm happy. Hopefully the ends results will be good.

10 Treatments & Minimal Regrowth!
Posted by BEVERLY *LAP* B. on February 2, 2014 .
I was very pleased with the results after my 10 treatments and have had very minimal reappearance of the hair.

good results, but it takes time. Not all technicians are equally professionally prepared to deal with customers. Call back and appointment reminder calls are not prioritized.

not too painful, excellent staff, very short session. The results were noticeable to my husband. we were both pleased.

The 2 treatments I just had went VERY fast. The first was around 10 minutes, the last was around 15-20. After only my 1st treatment I noticed some definite changes. I'm glad I had the courage to give it a try. The staff is just amazing. Everyone has been so kind, patient & wonderful to be around.
Everyone was just so warm and inviting. They answered all of my questions, made me feel extremely comfortable & worked things out to my specific needs. Shy, self-conscious person that I am, I never had time to feel uncomfortable! I thank them for that.

I have been a client since 2010, started with bikini, then added under arms and then added legs. I put my account on hold for the summer and will likely resume in the next month or so with treatment. I have seen a good amount of hair loss but it definitely takes more treatments than I expected. I've noticed in the last year that the clinic began using a better laser that was more powerful and didn't need all of the goopy gel. I have only had two treatments with that machine so far but I hope that it provides me with more lasting and permanent results.
Posted by CARLA C. on September 23, 2013 .
I LOVE this new laser machine. I haven't had any laser treatments for maybe 2yrs, and the main reason I haven't come back was because I remember it being so painful. My friends used to ask me how laser treatments were, and I would be honest and tell them it hurt. They used to tease me and say, "Have fun at your pain session." But this new machine has changed that completely. I am now telling everyone that it doesn't hurt!

My laser hair removal technician Kenesha has been doing an excellent job on my treatments. She's been on top of my treatments since I first met her at american laser skincare in January of 2013.
As long as I'm a client at american laser skincare, I want and I expect to get every hair folicle off my chest and abdomen. Meaning I want to have smooth skin all over my body. I enjoy receiving laser hair removal treatments, its the best. So therefore, I've been a loyal client of american laser skincare for the past 6 years and 4 months since April 30, 2007.

I love my laser hair removal treatments. I have seen a significant improvement with my ingrown hair problem since beginning my treatments last year. I have since purchased 6 additional treatments for a low cost of $160, 4 micro and 4 peels for $299. I love the service I receive and look forward to continuing my treatments.
Posted by JOHN C. on September 4, 2013 .
The progress has been slower than expected. We have been going regularly for almost 2 years now and still have to shave frequently, although the hair grows in much thinner now and shaving is easier. The laser process has improved greatly over the last year or so with the new laser and not having to use gel anymore.

I have not completed the treatments so, that's why I can't tell you how satisfied I am with the results. I'm half way through and still see some hair growth on my upper lip. Can't wait for the day I no longer see hair. The personnel at the office are very kind. I would like to talk about Botox in the future.

first treatment was painful because is something new to the body. But my second treatment was not so bad.

I am very please with my current results in all treatment areas but one. I have reached my desired results for the following areas: lip, underarms, abdomen, and upper and lower leg. The only area I have not reached my desired results is my bikini area. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the machine that was used at the beginning of my treatments was much more effective then the machine that was used for the majority of my treatments. The initial machine that was used on me had cold air that was constantly blowing which made the treatment more tolerable. The next machine that was used did not have this feature and doubled the level of pain. I have intentions of purchasing a new series of treatments with the machines that are currently being used since they also decrease the level of pain and seem to more effective then the ones they replaced.
There are two staff members that currently work at the facility that are very competent: Sloane Farber and Melissa Franchio.

I went for 2 whole years to American laser to have my hair removed. As they promised me that my hair would be removed - I still have hair everywhere. I was excited because my armpits stopped growing hair completely for a good few months. Then once I finished my treatments - about a month afterwards it all came back. It was all a WASTE of time and money and I am soooo sad about it. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If anything I would tell them to avoid going there.

I wish the results were faster and the services less expensive. The staff is very friendly and professional!
Posted by BETTI H. on August 20, 2013 .
I like the new laser so much more. The laser that was used when I first started in 2011 was very slow and kinda painful. I"ve had very good results over these two years on my bikini line. I just started getting my lower legs done. I also buy the same pkg. for my daughter, so she's had these services too. I would reccomend this to anyone I knew. I just wish It had been less expensive. I have trouble justifying the expense. I would go on to get other areas done, but I can't. Oh Well!!

The treatments I had with the New City NY, American Laser have exceeded my expectations. The laser hair removal has freed me from having to shave. The Photo-facial, Skin Tightening and Microdermabrasion has improved my complexion. The injectables have taken years off my appearance. The facility is a well managed and professionally maintain office. I am very please with New City American laser and will continue to use their services.
Posted by LAURA E. on August 13, 2013 .
Next week complete my 2year (once a month) service for the hair removal of my upper and lower lip area. Regretfully there is a significant amount of hair that continues to appear even after so many treatments. I was not exceptionally hairy and was informed that all will be gone after treatment package with possible once in a while touch appointments. I don't see this as being the case since I currently have hair that grows in the treated area for removal at each months session. I am not particularly happy with the end results. It was far less than I expected.
Posted by KEISHA I. on August 11, 2013 .

I've had laser done for many years in different areas of my body. I first used them when the lasers first came out and had very good results. This is the first time I am using the new lasers so I expect the results to be even better. The first time I used them I had my face done. I still have a few hairs that grow back in, but it is nothing like it was before.

I have been going to American Laser for over a year and I am seeing results, but not enough. I feel like I should see more results at this point in my treatment. The new machine they have is much quicker and It's more convenient because I'm not there for an hour just for laser and It's now gel-less so It's cleaner.
Posted by ANNAMARIE L. on May 2, 2013 .
I thought I would've had better results by now. I like the new laser machine much better, It doesn't hurt as much when turned on a higher setting, & I don't get the spasms in my neck, when my neck is being done.
Posted by KIM M. on April 26, 2013 .
The staff was very friendly easy going. The actual tech went slow with me, and double checked with the nurse practitioner as we went to make sure everything was ok. Upon rescheduling the same tech walked out with me and let the other staff know when rescheduling she would do it, so I maintain the remaining appointments with someone who knew how I was reacting and needed to go slow. Couldn't be happier. Already see results too.
Posted by HELEN A. on April 23, 2013 .
the new machine is WAY better than the last... ie not so painful, and i really feel it'll take less sessions to become hair free!

I was told that no one was documenting my skin type which means I may have received different treatment each visit. Some people shaved the area, some people did not shave and there were inconsistencies in responses when I asked if I should shave or trim before the visit. I did not see anyone washing their hands in the rooms. I have never seen a doctor for evaluation of my skin, only assistants in which I question their knowledge of the product they are using.

I am a transitioning individual. When my girlfriend and I first visited the American Laser Skincare office, it was a little difficult to locate, but the staff was extremely friendly and kind.

If I were to have another procedure in the future, this would definitely be the first place I would visit for it.

The Alex machine is the best, I'm just bummed that I only started using it recently. Results are coming in after the 2nd treatment and I'm hoping that my remaining sessions are all booked on that because I think that it may prove to have lasting changes/results.

When I originally came into American Laser, I was told that the length of time would vary depending on skin and hair type, although I did not imagine it would take this long to be hair free, the introduction was a little deceptive. The latest treatment I've gotten was the least painful of all and it felt much cleaner without all of that gel.
Posted by KATHRYN F. on March 5, 2013 .
My 2 most recent sessions have been with a new laser which delivers a cold (cryogenic) blast with each laser pulse. This is a HUGE improvement over using the cooling hose and the ultrasonic gel.
Posted by MERIDITH S. on March 5, 2013 .
Posted by SUE W. on March 4, 2013 .
Firstly, the staff have all been terrific - polite, friendly, helpful. I have been coming for monthly treatments for a year. Two sessions ago, I began receiving treatment with a new laser, which I think may be speeding up the process. But overall, I have found that it has taken much longer than I was led to believe, and is still not finished. Also, as I was told, the laser doesn't remove white hairs, but it seems to have made mine thicker and spikier. The bottom line is that I still need to shave my face more or less every day, so the whole process has not really freed me.
Posted by SUE D. on March 4, 2013 .
The treatment is going well except I seem to break out with pimples after.
Posted by PARMINDER K. on March 3, 2013 .

So far I have seen great results from the new laser. The treatments have been much faster with the new laser. The bikini and underarm have done well so far. There has been little regrowth. The results were so positive that I purchased another package. I am hoping for results that are just as good.

Did not get the results I was anticipating with the body shaping. Also, taking a LONG time for the hair on my chin to disappear. The laser hair treatments on my bikini are working great and I do love the glycolic peels.
Posted by JENNIFER H. on February 23, 2013 .
Vela was very painful bc of loose skin from pregnancy. The skin kept getting caught. Also, the tech at that time (spring 2012) was very lax. This was corrected by management. The photo facials and microdermabrasion have been great for my skin acne and rosacea. Skin tightening was great when I could afford it. Laser hair removal on old machines was painful but the new machines are truly incredible and effective!

I think the new machine is much less painful but I do hope it is efficient in the purpose of removing the hair indefinitely.
Posted by BERNHARD M. on February 19, 2013 .
The treatment is less uncomfortable and faster than it was only a few years ago, and the results to date are more than satisfactory.

The first laser hair removal machine did absolutely nothing. This new machine though has already shown significant improvement. It is much better.

After 3 laser hair removal treatments, I'm very satisfied and am already experiencing awesome results!

I really like the new YAG laser. It is less painful and I am seeing results significantly faster.

I had an awful experience with management and I'm extremely disappointed! I purchased vela shape and tried it the same day that I signed the contract. Was not satisfied by it left me bruised and had no cellulite to remove. I tried to tell the manager, Christina at the time, that I. Was not satisfied and that I. Do. Not want to do it anymore and she told me that once I sign the contract then that's it. No refunds and no changes. I was devastating because now I was stuck with a treatment that. I did not want and have to pay. I've had over 14 treatments for laser hair removal and still not satisfied with the results. Additionally, I had to pay my full payment by November and since I did not pay it in full, I was charged an additional $1100! I can understand a little interest but an additional $1100. I had higher expectations and will never recommend American laser skin care to anyone!

The results were wonderful and I am so glad I checked into this. I have had 6 treatments so far and there is such a noticeable difference in my facial hair.

I would highly recommend American Laser Center in Ontario. The staff and nurses are just wonderful. My nurse was always making sure I was comfortable during the procedure.

I really like the results that I am getting with the laser treatment that is being offered here. I love how nice the people are here very caring and considerate.

Very friendly and professional. A better description of the services or how large/small an area it would cover. Also, I was not aware of the referral program until I received a follow up call from Signature Forum.
Posted by RON M. on October 22, 2012 .
Everything was great, including the staff, who have been more than accommodating. The price was more than I expected. Other than the price, I would say everything went better than I could of asked for.
Posted by HOLLEY M. on September 19, 2012 .
Jen (manager) and ALL of the office staff were very friendly and helpful and explained everything thoroughly. They were very open and truthful and helped me make my decision to proceed with the procedure. Danielle did my first treatment and was extremely informative and made me feel completely at ease with a potentially embarrassing procedure (bikini hair removal). I also did a second procedure (Radiesse in cheeks) with her after our consultation and she was very reassuring even when I got nervous and stresses after the procedure due to the swelling. :-) I am extremely happy with how it looks and my husband didn't even notice the small amount of swelling on the day of the procedure. Overall it was a very positive experience and I intend to receive future services at this location based on pricing and service. I intend to recommend them to anyone interested in the services they offer.
Posted by MENEZHA R. on August 28, 2012 .
I did have the procedure. The equipment seemed outdated. I felt no change to my face. This was not my first procedure. Meaning that I had received same treatment in other facility with so much results. Did not like what I got or did not get for my money. Felt cheated. Therefore will NOT return. That's a lot of money I paid for absolutely nothing! I really don't see how this can be good business. Once I walked out, I knew I would not make follow up appointment. I walked in with open mind with potential purchase of a package. One good thing was that I did not agree on full package. That would be highway robbery.
Posted by VALERIE L. on July 22, 2012 .
Very happy with results so far from my laser hair removal treatment. I would recommend their services to my friends. As I'm going to college in the fall, I am glad there are many American Laser offices to choose from. I will continue to go!!!!!!!

I would say that their interpersonal skills would be their greatest strength. My first appointment for the consultation ran very late to the extent that I left without seeing anyone. Ever since then, the service has been very prompt.
Posted by DONNA U. on March 23, 2012 .
I was leery about receiving this service but after one treatment and in a few days I immediately saw results. I think it is pricey but I am happy.

Great Results After Three Treatments!

Really liked the convenience of this provider. Everyone there is nice and friendly. A bit pricy, but worth it so far.
Posted by KIMBERLY B. on February 4, 2012 .
Scheduling process was easy. I was greeted promptly on arrival. Everyone was friendly and professional. I had done some research on the treatment desired (laser hair removal - upper lip), so I didn't have a lot of questions, but was reassured this was a common service. I live almost an hour from the office, and was given the option of starting treatment same day, which was a huge convenience. Christina performed the first treatment - she is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I felt like I had known her longer than 10 minutes based on her engaging and fun personality. I hope my future sessions are with her. Overall, it has been a great experience so far.
Posted by ARTRESHA S. on February 4, 2012 .
I have only received 3 of the treatments so far and I am already noticing results. I no longer feel the "stubble" of my facial hair. My skin feels so soft and smooth. The facility itself is very clean and the staff is very friendly and always helpful. Thank you!

The operator James Daniel was patient, prompt, professional, imaginative and helpful over the phone and email in scheduling my consultation. I really appreciated his help! The receptionist Irma was knowledgeable, patient, professional, genuine and simply amazing at the office. She made me feel comfortable and confident in discussing my options. My specialist Jamie was incredible! Already on my first session, the procedure was flawless. She was genuine, caring, comforting and a great support in an uncomfortable situation. She was warm and welcoming in getting me through the procedure and making sure I was happy. I look forward in completing my goals with American Laser Skincare. I am becoming a more confident person and am very happy with the procedures/business, thank you all!

They people there were all very nice. My hair removal is going slow. At first visit there was great improvements, but now there isn't as much noticeable.
Posted by RICK F. on October 4, 2011 .
I was going to have the procedure until i found out that it will not work on white hair, so now I will completely forget about it until someone comes up with a solution to getting rid of white hair as well.
Posted by KATIE S. on September 15, 2011 .
I enjoyed the consultation/conversation that I had with Loren. She made it feel like we were just talking. She explained everything very well during the signing process and I scheduled before I left. I was so excited I got in the very next morning and have already had my first treatment. I like the specialist too. She understands about my skin and actually, I upgraded my service already, adding only about $500 to my package.
Posted by CAMILAH D. on September 8, 2011 .
Although I have had laser hair removal previously, I found the consultation to be a waste of time. The consultant didn't look at my skin and didn't go over my answers on the questionnaire to see if the type of laser was appropriate for me. Essentially, I could have gotten what I needed (the prices for the desired areas treated) over the phone. I happened to have two other consultations with other companies on the same day, and I ended up going with the company that I thought had the best displayed experience even though the pricing was similar.
Posted by CAYIAN Z. on August 10, 2011 .
The painful level of laser treatment was a little higher than what I expected. The strength of this treatment was the fact it reduced the amount of hair growth gradually.
Posted by HEATHER W. on August 8, 2011 .
I was looking to get laser hair removal but after considering it I am wondering if it's worth the money because much of my hair is too light.
Posted by ERIN S. on July 22, 2011 .
I purchased the extended bikini hair removal and I love it so far. The staff is very nice and generally on time. I do feel the services are costly and that is why I haven't purchased others.

Very good experience all around. While there is discomfort with the treatment, the staff were terrific. Would highly recommend to others.

I had one laser hair removal treatment from Sleek approx 5 years ago. I did not continue because I was told that I had to let the hair grow out and I couldn't bleach it! The one treatment I had hurt a lot, too! Your program was comfortable - the staff were professional and very welcoming. They listened to me and respected my needs. I'm so happy that I tried laser hair removal again and that I found your company!

Over all I am very Happy with my decision.

Was great of the telephone operator to call me back on a Sunday. I was not sure what to expect during the consultation but Kristin was professional and what she talked to me about made me feel confident about my decision to pursue the laser hair removal treatments.

strength: it works, and it is very short treatment [individual visits, not duration of treatment]. weakness: schedule so busy it's hard to get an appointment.
Posted by SUSIE C. on February 28, 2011 .
This facility seemed like a much better fit for me. I was not offered the opportunity to review any before/after photos, however the consultant used herself as an example saying she had received the treatment herself. The credentials and certification of the technicians were explained verbally only. I was pleased to have the opportunity to take advantage of their 0% financing.
Posted by DENISE L. on February 28, 2011 .
The price of the service was made affordable for me after it was originally not affordable. I am not done with all of my treatments yet, but am having good results so far. My only concern is that during my very first treatment (which was separate from the consultation appointment), the technician was already trying to sell me other services. That seemed a bit pushy considering I didn't even get to see how this treatment was going to work.
Posted by LISA E. on February 7, 2011 .
I really want to have the procedure but the area in which i want to be taken care of is really little and i think the cost is way too much. is there any way you could knock that number down some?
Posted by REMA M. on January 6, 2011 .
They were able to fit me in on the spot and I booked my next appointment. Dolly was extremely helpful and as a customer herself, she was able to show me some of her results which was very helpful. Natalya was great - it was quicker than I thought it would be and I booked my next appointment with her.

Everything that has been done at ALC has been great. I had a slight burn after the third visit but everything was taken care of in a timely manner and the redness was gone in a few days.
Posted by KELLY H. on September 13, 2010 .
I really enjoyed the staff at the American Laser center in Rochester. I did feel that the price was a little high but seeing as the product was at a "buy one get one" level at the moment and I also had $300 off because I signed up to check it out online, it seemed like a good deal. I haven't noticed much hair removal yet but I was well informed about how the product works so I am looking forward to it.
Posted by SOPHIA R. on September 7, 2010 .
The whole process was very pleasant and informative. The specialist was patient and very knowledgeable. I was put at ease about the procedure even though I had some apprehensions. I had the procedure that day because I was satisfied with how my questions were answered. I was worried about my sensitive skin but after the procedure my skin reacted like the specialist had mentioned and I was very happy with the results.
Posted by NATALYA C. on September 7, 2010 .
I wish the person doing the treatment would apply some sort of "numbing" cream to the area being worked on... and also to be more attentive to areas and not too fast.
Posted by VIKKI A. on September 3, 2010 .
The staff at the center are excellent and very professional. They always make me feel very welcome and schedule the appointments around my schedule. However, my biggest complaint is the results of the procedures. I had 7 velashape procedures done but do not notice a slight bit of difference. Even the lady who reviewed my photos said that she didn't see much of a difference. My husband commented that it was the biggest waste of money ever. I did not have severe cellulite before but it still failed to remove anything. I kind of feel that it is a bit of a scam and feel like there should be some kind of money back guarantee. I have also had 2 photo facials and 2 microdermabrasions to remove or at least minimize some melasma from my face. There is also no difference what so ever. I still have 2 more treatments but with no noticeable affects this far, I am starting to think that this might be another waste of my money. The permanent hair removal on my legs, under arms and bikini will be something I have to wait to see if it works as I have only have 2 treatments. All my friends and family are keen to see how the treatments work as are interested. I feel embarrassed that nothing has worked so far. I would not recommend these treatments to anyone and would actually make sure people know that you could be throwing away your money.
Posted by ANNA G. on August 29, 2010 .
Person I met with put me at ease and answered all my questions (no matter how many times I asked the same question). She was clear about the necessary commitment and my treatments so far have been great. I have only had three treatments on my face and will have treatments on my feet soon. My answers and comments are based on the results so far.
Posted by LORI R. on August 28, 2010 .
I have only had 4 treatments so far. I have seen some improvement in the chin area but not much in the upper lip area. Maybe I am expecting too much too soon only time will tell.

Posted by LAUREN S. on July 13, 2010 .
When I went to the office the lady told me the manager was supposed to call me to cancel the appointment because she already left which was ok because they still could give me prices. I wish they were able to tell me the prices over the phone because they were so high it was a waste of time for me.
Posted by VIKKI A. on June 12, 2010 .
I received my first Foto facial treatment and hair removal treatment yesterday! I bought packages in them both! I also bought a velashape package and my first treatment is today! I am excited and am impressed by the woodlands office!
Posted by CHRISTEN ROSE H. on June 8, 2010 .
So far i have had a mostly fantastic experience at the Torrance facility. The only thing that was a bit odd was that on(i have had 4 procedures so far) the first procedure the person administrating it didn't do everything the way they normally do it and it was more painful. Since then everything has been fine. I know better now and will just make sure i get the ice pack before the procedure etc. Other wise as i said everyone has been fantastic and the experience is great!
Posted by SAMANTHA W. on May 3, 2010 .
I can't rate my final results, because my treatments are not finished yet. I have at this time received 3 treatments to this date, and the hair loss to date is wonderful. Looks like it will be much better than working with Hair Today Gone Tomorrow.
Posted by KHYATI P. on May 1, 2010 .
The staff at the facility is amazing! Very welcoming, accommodating, and helpful! The only 2 things got to me is the cost for the entire treatment and after my 3rd treatment I am still having some hair growth back that needs to be removed every couple of days at home.
Posted by CORA J. on April 16, 2010 .
My first treatment was done too quickly and the technician pressed into my face strongly. My second treatment and treatments thereafter were provided by a more skilled and knowledgeable technician. I have been very pleased since.
Posted by NAZNEEN B. on April 4, 2010 .
I did purchase the service but it is too soon to see any results - I probably won't know until 6 months out from my initial start. I haven't see much improvement to date. I've had 3 treatments thus far.
Posted by EMILY M. on February 26, 2010 .
The experience has been fine. But after three treatments I'm not seeing any less hair growth in the areas I'm having treated.

I was with HTGT for 5+ years. On conversing with my consultant, she clearly understood what my needs were and a very reasonable package was presented to me. I decided to stay with this Facility. My procedure was started immediately after and I am very pleased with everyone involved in making this happen.
Posted by DONNA M. on February 5, 2010 .
I scheduled the consultation and procedure for the same time, so I have already gone through the first session. I went ahead with the procedure based on the professionalism of the staff and my comfort level with them. They did an excellent job.
Posted by KEVIN W. on January 24, 2010 .
The entire staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable with the procedure. They answered all my questions. I have since had my first treatment and I have decided to have other areas of my body treated after I complete my first areas being treated.
Posted by DEBRA R. on December 3, 2009 .
I received a call twice saying I was late for my appt even though they wrote an appt card stating the time. I was told I would be given a 1 hour appt but I have been there 3 times and all appts lasted no more than 20-30 minutes. Disappointed with this overall.
Posted by KIM L. on October 19, 2009 .
i have been very happy so far. I'm just waiting to see results. I only had 2 sessions and so far i haven't seen any results yet.
Posted by YEVGENIA K. on October 18, 2009 .
Since I have different areas to treat, I would like to have treatments for different areas when needed (e.g., some monthly and some quarterly), and not to buy a package to treat all of them simultaneously once per month.
Posted by DAN R. on October 1, 2009 .
I was a long time customer to remove my chest hair of Hair Today Gone Tomorrow (HTGT), and was referred to American Laser as HTGT went out of business. I've been in maintenance mode with HTGT for 3 years. My ala carte price per maintenance visit was $75. I explained this to the specialist, Ruth Ann Stigler. She pretty much ignored this explanation, and said she never heard of HTGT and did not know what kind of laser methodology HTGT used. She then tried to sell me a whole new chest hair removal plan!!!!!! I told her NO, and desired to continue on my 2 times per year maintenance visits. She told me that the ala carte visit price is $516! No way! I'm willing to still consider American Laser, but not with this specialist, and not at this specific location in Indianapolis. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and drove 2.5 hours specifically for this appointment. I'm extremely disappointed right now.

I've had my second laser treatment and so far I have been very happy with the results. I originally only purchased the bikini laser hair removal, but on my second treatment I purchased the upper lip hair removal too.
Posted by ROSCHELLE K. on January 3, 2009 .
Being African American, I was very hesitant about scarring from the lasers. Mariana Luna at the clinic was very helpful in answering all my questions and giving me extra information about my options in permanent hair removal. I left the clinic that day still uneasy about laser use on my face (since I'm getting ready for my wedding) but within 3 hours, I called back and signed a contract. I couldn't be happier with the service I have received at the clinic. If I had to do it all over again.... I would. I've even recommended other friends of mine who are also African American.
Posted by TRISH S. on November 7, 2008 .
I met with the assistant manager that evening and had my consultation. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Not only did she answer all my questions, but I had the procedure done right after my consultation. I found the service and procedure to be excellent and I will recommend this clinic to all my friends.
Wish I Did This Years Ago!
Posted by DAVID T. on July 19, 2008 .
After two treatments i'm extremely pleased with the results. The only thing i regret is waiting so long to research the laser removal method. Wish i had done this years earlier. The Laser tech that performed my two procedures to date is wonderful. She's knowledgeable, personable and i enjoy her way. Puts me at ease.
Posted by GIDGET L. on June 2, 2008 .
The American Laser center is Woodbury is very friendly and helpful.. I purchased my hair removal package for my chin and I know that I will purchasing another one.

I am so excited for laser hair removal. this is something I have wanted for a very long time and had no idea how affordable it truly is. I will be saving over the coming months to have laser hair removal on my bikini area. I really feel that these procedures will change my life and give me more confidence. Thank you!
Posted by STEPHANIE M. on April 13, 2008 .
I really enjoyed the entire process of setting up my appointment. Even after arriving late at my consultation due to some bad online driving directions, a specialist still sat down with me and explained the procedure, and we even started the procedure the same day! I have always wanted laser hair removal and thought it would be something I needed to save up for, and yet I was given a deal that even a graduate student like me can afford. I was super impressed with the service and the people helping me. Their patience and kindness made the procedure easy, near painless and fast. I look forward to my other appointments and can't wait to be hair free at last!
Posted by EMILY R. on January 22, 2008 .
I love my results so far.
Posted by MARTHA E. on January 14, 2008 .
I was very content with the service, so after the consultation, I gave a down payment to start a laser treatment, but after the front desk manager looked at my paper work, she realized that I scar keloid, so the service was denied and everything had to get canceled. The consultation and service was great, but I suggest that next time they look at the patients' paper work first because I was there for two hours, and got very excited about starting my treatment, so it was disappointing not being able to do it after all.
Posted by MARGARET V. on December 24, 2007 .
I had had a bad experience at a shopping mall laser company. I researched & found Am Laser ... I find them to be very professional, friendly and the facility is clean, modern & I am in the process now - I have 4 treatments left but at this point of my program, I am pleased. I do hope by the time of my final treatment, the results will be exactly what I bought into.

LOVED THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SO FAR.... HAD MY FIRST TREATMENT THE DAY OF MY CONSULT!
Posted by PATRICIA H. on November 11, 2007 .
Had no qualms with the specialist. The reception staff was rude and I was ignored for a long time. She never said they will be right with you, she just gave me the standard forms to fill.I filled out the top form, and didn't realize that there were other forms, so when I turned it in, she said to me verbatim, "what you couldn't fill out the other forms" in which she said in a condescending manner. I turned in the forms and she never said that anybody would be right with me. I waited an additional long time and was ready to leave when the specialist came out. The procedure was approx. 30 minutes, but I was there for almost 2 hours. I'm happy w/ the results, but not the manner I was treated. I have been to burger joints and movie rental places where the employees have better manners than a professional establishment as yours. I am looking out for your companies vested interest, and feel you should know what is going on. The procedure was not something that was easily affordable to me, and I did have some trepidation about going through with it. I hope you remedy your front line, because that is where your business will either flourish or flounder.

Very nice Consultation but very pricey for the actual hair that I want removed. It is not a lot of hair and I feel that the price doesn't meet the need. I really wish that it was lower because I would love to have the procedure soon.

I had my first treatment on Sunday, October 28, 2007 and it was great. I went in nervous and scary but the specialist made me feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!

I was very impressed with my technician at my last visit. She was very thorough and polite. I felt very comfortable during my entire visit. I am slightly dissatisfied with the progress of my laser hair removal. I have had two treatments so far and I feel like I should see more results. I mentioned this at my last treatment and they said that I should see more results with that treatment. It's been almost a month and I still don't see the results I feel I should. I've very pleased with the service I've been given but I'm dissatisfied with my results.

Strength is convenience. Perhaps they are experts, although frankly I don't have anything to compare them to. My second treatment was definitely handled more professionally than my first. I felt much more confident with this service provider. Weakness - they are so busy I always feel like they are in a hurry. Do they rush my treatment? I have had two treatments now, and I am still unsure as to whether it is having the desired affect. I was told after 2 or 3 treatments I should be able to see a difference. I hope this will be the case after my next treatment.

I have gotten my legs waxed before, and it was so painful. My laser hair removal treatment was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep. I have only had one session so far, but look forward to the final result!

The staff were nice and they made me feel comfortable. I am about mid-way through with completing my procedure and i am satisfied with how it was performed and my results.

I am very pleased with the professionalism, friendliness and skill levels of everyone I have come in contact with at American Laser Center. Without exception, they have been wonderful! I believe it will be money well spent when all the treatments have been completed and I no longer have to shave.

My initial consultation left me with the impression that the provider was professional and competent. During my first appointment I appreciated the professionalism of the staff as she spoke with me. There ended up being two concerns during this visit, however. The first was that the laser kept over heating, which made the appointment last somewhat longer. The time wasn't a factor as much as my questioning about the reliability of the equipment. The staff apologized and did the best she could. During this same visit a number of different staff entered the room during the procedure (no fewer than 4 or 5 times). Also noteworthy is that during these interruptions I was laying on the table in my underwear, partially exposed for those in the lobby to see. On my second visit I felt that the particular staff member this time wanted to do things in a manner that was more convenient for her and not for me as a patient. Somehow the same procedure that before took over 2 hours this time took no more than 25 minutes. This leaves me uncertain about the quality of care that I'm receiving. During the initial visit I was told a photo would be taken of the area at every visit to monitor regrowth. This was not done at the second visit. Unfortunately, I have to say that I've been quite disappointed in the service provided. From these more significant concerns to smaller things like leaving names of clients on computer screens accessible for other clients to see. I have at least four more visits at this facility. I'm afraid I may be holding out unrealistic hope that the third appointment will be better than the first two.

Have have gone to 2 visits already and do notice an improvement in my reduced amount of hair. I have 4 visits left, so far I'm very happy.

I had my first appointment with Cynthia on Saturday. And I felt very comfortable and at ease with all of her explanations. The laser was not as painful as I anticipated. And I was surprised that the visit lasted only an hour (as I had had previous experience with another office taking about 3-4 hours to complete the procedure. I was very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the cleanliness of the suites. I wish I would've had this experience with the previous firm, as I had invested a lot of time and money into getting just mediocre results. I love the fact that there is a 2 year guarantee in writing. I am looking forward to seeing the results! I just wished that I had heard more about your office through advertising or word of mouth, as I just happened to search the internet and stumbled upon your website.

I think the people can take more time and make sure they get all the area they are working on.
Posted by SANDRA G. on October 25, 2006 .
Tracy is the person who explained the procedure and she was excellent. She answered all my questions. I decided to have the treatment the following day & the continuity of care was great. Tracy did my treatment and was very professional. I was very nervous going in, but she made me feel at ease.
Posted by SHERYL N. on October 8, 2006 .
The personnel in the office are very friendly and make me feel very comfortable. I have purchased additional items from the same office as I felt the initial procedure was well worth it.

My experiences were very positive. The staff are all very professional, helpful, and friendly which I really like.

I have suffered for twenty years with embarrassing facial hair. I have had to wax three times a week and pluck in between waxes. I always tried to avoid looking up so that people would not see the dark hair that seemed to grow within hours... Then one night I was searching the internet for help and found American Laser Center. A consultant called me the next day and I had an appointment within the week. I felt very comfortable and they answered all my questions. They even gave me a "warranty", so I began a new journey to self esteem! With the first treatment I no longer have a mustache and after my second treatment I am beginning to see a huge difference in my face and neck. I no longer hide behind files and papers and I look people in the eye! I have my life back and my husband loves my face. Thank you so much for all you have given to me.

When I came in for consultation, I expected them to test the machine on me to see if it works or not. That wasn't done. I had a limited amount of time to sign up for the deal or else i wouldn't get it, like 4 hours. I was rushed into making a decision. I told them I had been on the Light Sheer Diode earlier on and didn't like the machine. It didn't provide me with good results and that was the reason I wanted to switch from my current provider. They still put me on Light Sheer Diode and once again it didn't work for me at all. I was finally put on the Aurora and it worked okay. It didn't give the results I was looking for but it was a lot better than the Light Sheer Diode. However, my face broke out every where and hasn't gone away till now. As of now, I am not satisfied with the product at all but I am willing to give it one more try since I have so much money invested in it.
Posted by ANGEL R. on June 19, 2006 .
I purchased this service, which is a 6 week service. I've had two treatments and can't wait for future treatments, so I can start seeing the results. The staff is very nice and the facility is very clean; two things that continue to impress me. The only thing I would suggest is the ability to make a follow-on appointment with more than one person. There is only one person at this location that makes appointments. If she is in a consultation with another customer, there is no one to make an appointment. To make an appointment, one has to call back to the office or e-mail her. It's just not as convenient as making an appointment in the office.
Posted by STEVEN S. on June 11, 2006 .
So far I only had one of my 4 treatments so it is hard to provide you with the strengths and weaknesses. So far everything is going well. There is some hair coming back, but again it was only my first treatment and I was told that it could come back.
Posted by ELISABETH J. on June 11, 2006 .
You have excellent equipment. Your staff is friendly, compassionate and helpful. There lacks some organization, my first appointment was never put into the computer, and the staff was not at the location for my second appointment. They were courteous, but were perhaps just a touch disorganized.
Posted by KATELYN O. on May 17, 2006 .
I wanted this for my daughter because she is modeling and it can only improve her skin and enhance her face. She is very pleased with the results so far but we are not yet completely finished with the Laser hair removal. We are very pleased with the center and their employees are very friendly and knowledgeable about there work. They have been more than helpful in scheduling around our schedule.

I have had 2 of 6 sessions and I am very disappointed by my my results thus far. I am not a hairy person, I have completely avoided all sun exposure ( I used to tan- and I hate my new pasty look) and I only have one small area where the hair isn't growing back in. I've been told I should see MARKED improvement on my third visit- but I seriously have doubts. The initial consultation was a little bit misleading about the rate of hair loss and I probably should have done more homework on the procedures and prices. I never saw any set price guide so the "deals" and "discounts I was being offered really made me feel a little bit taken after the fact. Soon after I'd committed the $2600 I won an "On-line " contest for $500 of free services- BUT I couldn't apply it toward what I just bought (I hadn't even had my first appointment yet) and it had to be used toward another package service- not a single procedure. I hope I see a big difference after my next session because I would not recommend it to anyone with the results I've gotten so far- as well as the price. I guess the greatest strength is the sales pitch and the nice office location.
Posted by DENISE S. on March 28, 2006 .
I think some of their greatest strengths are that they are very friendly and make you feel comfortable all the time you're there. I've had 3 visits so far out of 6 and I look forward every visit to seeing the results. I've been very pleased so far and the hair removal is coming along just great. They also are very professional and I totally trust that they know exactly what they're doing.

The office manager at the Philadelphia location Lauren was a huge help to me.. She explained every little step to laser hair removal and it definitely calmed my nerves. I have already started the hair removal procedures and the nurse who did it Jenny was also a very nice person. She made sure that I wasn't in any unbearable pain and made my nerves subside.. The whole office was wonderful and I look forward to going back and completing my 6 sessions.. and than some.. Thanks again!!!
Posted by LAURA C. on January 11, 2006 .
i look forward to having NO HAIR on my face (for the most part). Great atmosphere, great people, very positive and friendly. Had the first procedure done, technician was very calming, manager has a great attitude that obviously influences the staff.
Posted by KORIE W. on October 13, 2005 .
Amy made me feel comfortable about my decision and I have already had my first treatment. I really believe that this procedure is going to be successful.
Posted by DIANA H. on October 3, 2005 .
I have have hair removal procedures done in the past that DID NOT work so I am a bit skeptical about this procedure. Additionally, I went into the consult asking for the cost of chin/neck and was quoted for the entire face because it was the October special. I do not require all areas so I don't know why they thought I would think this was a good deal. I am more interested in a discount for my targeted areas, not getting my eyebrows or sideburns done.
Posted by KALPANA K. on September 4, 2005 .
I was hoping to get a test patch done first, but there was no mention of it. I think you cannot expect someone to begin the procedure on the face without a test patch being part of the package! Also, there seemed to be rush in explaining the discount of cost the package offered only on the first time consultation. I was asked if I could schedule an appointment the same day I went for the consultation. I have asked them for a test before I can do this procedure just to be on the safe side to see how my skin will react to the procedure. If I do not have any issues after a week, I am thinking of going ahead.
Posted by CAROLINA C. on September 1, 2005 .
The staff is very nice, and I am seeing great results with my treatment. Thank you.
Posted by PAT T. on August 31, 2005 .
A very friendly staff who make you feel comfortable with this procedure, which can be embarrassing at times. I have completed 2 sessions, soon to go in for my 3rd, and I notice a difference each time I go.
Posted by MARIA M. on April 14, 2005 .
Everyone was very nice and they took me in the day of my consultation. I'm excited to see the results!!!
Posted by SUJANA Y. on April 4, 2005 .
I thought a dermatologist would perform the procedure and i felt i was not given utmost care... strongly felt i did not receive the treatment worth my payment.
Posted by RONDA S. on March 28, 2005 .
I was very happy with my visit and I have already started the procedure. I had this done before in another State and by another company. They only did 3 visits, and needless to say it didn't do very well as that was not enough times to get rid of the problem forever. I trust that the 6 visits will take care of this and I really appreciate the fact that they guarantee it with follow up visits free, if needed after the six visits. I moved due to my job and have been looking for a place like this one for over a year. I am so glad that I found this place. Thanks for asking me about this, as I have blonde/gray hair and fair skin and this seems to be the ONLY place that will guarantee this procedure for this type of hair and skin.
Posted by SHANNON K. on January 28, 2005 .
I had done a great deal of research on the procedure, so I did not require additional information in this area. I was looking for price and scheduling information in the consultation. The staff was friendly and courteous, and my first procedure was completed immediately after the consultation, so I am very satisfied.
Posted by KELLY S. on January 11, 2005 .
I made a consultation appointment with American Laser Centers because I needed a touch up for an area which I had laser hair removal preformed 18 months prior. My initial treatment was preformed at a clinic which is no longer in service. My reservations with completing my touch up appointments with American Laser Centers, is that you build the price of touch ups into your packages. However my previous center did not. My touch ups at the previous place were only $100. Your office would charge full price (in other words: a full treatment). I did not feel a touch up was worth the price of a full treatment, over twice as much as what I paid for previous touch ups. I am looking into other offices, which charge a fee for a touch ups.
Posted by DAVE P. on October 13, 2004 .
I met with Natalie Roach. She was extremely cordial and took the time to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. I'm undecided at this point only because I'm not sure if I want to spend the money for the procedure. I felt comfortable enough after my consultation that if I decide to have the procedure done, I would most likely go with your facility.
Posted by DIANE C. on June 1, 2004 .
I actually had my first procedure right after the consultation. They had an opening, so I grabbed it. The procedure went well and I am very excited to continue and finally get rid of my unwanted hair. I was also pleased that the laser location had MDs and was located in a medical facility.
Posted by JULIA G. on May 11, 2004 .
I was very comfortable, satisfied and excited about my chosen treatment. I am looking forward to following it through to the end. I had no problems or issues at all with either my consult or my first treatment. And I appreciate being given the opportunity to tell you this.
Posted by TERI J. on March 22, 2004 .
The only thing missing from my consultation was an explanation of the qualifications of the laser technician. Although she was excellent--extremely professional and patient-friendly, I would have appreciated knowing how she was trained prior to the procedure. All in all, an excellent experience and one I have already recommended to others.
The amount of time one LHR treatment requires simply depends on the size and of the area being treated. Bikini LHR, for example, takes about 15-30 minutes, while back laser hair removal can take up to an hour. If you're having a full body treatment, you can expect to be at the laser clinic for at 2-3 hours. Many times, your provider will complete your treatments in sections, rather than trying to perform all areas in one sitting.
Side effects from this procedure are mild for the most part and usually involve redness after treatment. In the hands of an ill-equipped or inexperienced provider, there is a risk of burning or hyperpigmentation of darker skin tones. This is precisely why having a consultation is so important. Your provider will match up the right treatment with your skin tone and hair color. And remember, if you're still unsure of the process after your consultation, arrange another one to compare providers.
If you go through the prescribed number of treatments recommended by your local laser clinic, medical spa, or medical professional, results are usually permanent. However, the FDA only claims lasers offer permanent hair reduction, rather than permanent hair removal. While most patients see fantastic results with treatment, keep in mind, there may be stray hairs that return after your treatments.
There is no recovery time needed with this procedure.
Can Insurance Cover Laser Hair Removal?
In some circumstances, usually in the case of a hormonal imbalance like polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), your provider could cover your treatments. Check with your insurance carrier to see if you are eligible for coverage.
Pain is rare after your laser hair removal treatment, but if you notice some swelling or mild stinging after treatment, ibuprofen should help alleviate your discomfort.
