Hi i’m 18 year old male and want to get laser hair removal on my face because I hate shaving. I have dark hair and light skin which tans easily.
I live in Miami but as much as I search I cant find someone who can recommend me a good place to go to get this procedure done. I have heard horror stories about that American place so i’m thinking of either going to Ideal Image or this other place called Body Details.
Basically what is everyones opinion here on Ideal Image? Any good results. Thnx and please answer back.
it’s a chain, so you need to have consultations to find out whether the people at this particular location are knowledgeable.
also, if you’re 18, you’re JUST developing hair and will be for a number of years. so you have to remember, if you do this now, you will be coming in for touchups on new hair you will develop for a number of years.
are you sure you want all your hair on your face removed? at such a young age, you might find that you will change your mind later. just something to consider.
if you’re really set on this (and it’s not cheap), please do your research. you need to figure out the laser type you need first (probably alex laser) and be ok with the fact that you will need continuous treatments to keep looking clean. Also, it is painful.
there are MANY clinics in the Miami area. you can run a search on this forum for some recommedations using the search function here or the cosmetic enhancements forum. also, you can go to the CAndela Corporation website and run a search using your zip code for a GentleLASE laser practitioner near you.
Ideal Image is my provider and I’m extremely happy with them. (Everyone is very nice and they all seem extremely competent.)
It is just my personal opinion, but I would hope that a reputable LHR will try to talk someone as young as you out of facial hair removal. It is pretty early in life to decide that they never want facial hair. I felt the way that you do at 18, but now I have a full beard. My guest consultant at Ideal Image told me that she had recommended against facial hair removal for men in the past since it was a permanent choice that young man may one day regret.
Hi, I go to the Ideal Image in Adventura. I am very happy with their service and the staff. Karen is my favorite tech there, so ask for her.
look for deals before you go in, they always have some kind of promotion
A friend of mine goes to a place in Coral Gables, I think it is Body Image, but I’m not sure. She has had tattoo removal done there and is very happy with their services. She said they are a lot less expensive than Ideal Image.
