Details
I am a 35-year-old man who went to this clinic for laser hair removal. I got several packages of treatments averaging $300 per treatment. The treatment focused on three "zones": Beard/neck, chest, and abdomen area. I am very pleased with the results on my torso. Previously I had an unappealing torso hair pattern, with a tuft in the middle of my chest and scraggly hairs across my abdomen. Now, I have much less hair (I look smooth in pictures), and the remaining hair looks very natural and evenly spread. It should be noted that I am white with pale skin and nearly black hair, which makes me an optimal candidate for laser hair removal which targets pigment. The treatment on my beard/neck area was much less successful and possibly lead to multiple side effects. I dreamed that I would no longer need to shave, since I have rather sensitive skin. Unfortunately, even after four treatments, I still must shave every day. In addition, a week after the first treatment I developed warts on my chin (dozens, two different types) that required many months of unsightly and embarrassing treatment (coworkers asked me if I had AIDS). Years later, I have lost pigment and patches of hair in my beard area, normally an autoimmune issue. Since I have no other health issues, it seems likely that the trauma of the treatment has resulted in these problems in my beard area.

Conclusions
Stay away from laser hair removal on your face at this clinic, body OK
