Title: Laser Hair Removal?
Post by: AriannaJade on January 02, 2013, 09:43:19 PM
I am torn between two places Ideal Image and Sona Med-Spa.

Has anyone been to  one of these and if so which one do you recommend?

Any and all help would be great

Thanks <3

Looks like Sona uses a longer wavelength diode laser called the Alma Soprano which is probably going to be your best bet. I would go there providing they have experience with beard removal!

Ideal image uses the Alexandrite laser which is a shorter wavelength and probably not ideal.

Some good comparison of each of these lasers

Have you asked them if they've ever done beard removal, and what kind of technician operates it? Is it a doctor or just someone they hired? You want as skilled an operator as possible. Someone with lots of experience.

Excited for you! Good luck!

By the way, I'm heading in right now for my second laser session!! They use the Lightsheer diode laser and it is operated by a medical doctor.
