Safe and Effective laser center

Being that I am a light skinned Indian, have some olive in my skin tone, it is difficult to find a center that knows how to treat my skin. I was told by the lady that does my facials, her name is Mammie and she has a wonderful place, that their is a specific laser for these treatments. She referred Gentle Touch, which was the first place I called. My consultation was great, very informative about the laser types, how I should treat my skin and when I would come in.

I waited a few months before I actually came back, school tuition comes first, but I did decide to go with Gentle Touch. This was about 6 months ago and I have done around 4 treatments on my face. So far the hair is no where to be found. I didn't have a lot to begin with but it was not nice to look at anyway. My treatments were very thorough, I felt super comfortable and they have a clean center. If you are looking for laser and are of the same skin color as me or not, I recommend Gentle Touch.

• Pros: Can treat dark skin types

Prime Center for Laser

Having sensitive skin made bikini weathers months for me the most hated. Shaving caused major ingrowns and obviously I wasn't going to be plucking that area. So I looked into laser @ Gentle Touch and was immediately hooked after meeting with Gina and she showed me her treated areas. Only after two treatments I started seeing a major difference. Hairs were much thinner, they take forever to grow back and the areas seem less concentrated. Of course I still have more treatments to go but I was very impressed with my results and how professional everyone is at this place. They also have a really cool referral program where you can get rewarded nicely. I haven't sent any friends yet but I hope to in the future after seeing my results.

• Pros: No more stubble or ingrowns

True Professionals @ Gentle Touch

Not sure if anyone has had "laser hair removal" done before but just a heads up, not all places use a real laser. Most places out there use a cheap machine called an IPL, it is actually a sales gimmick and doesn't work. I found out the hard way by spending over $8K dollars at a very well advertised place in the city. I am the typical candidate, light skin dark hair, and I got nothing out of it. It is very unfortunate that these places exist but it is fortunate that some centers, like Gentle Touch and a few others, are out there to educate us on how exactly laser hair removal should really work.

I discovered Gentle Touch after attending a fashion show they were sponsoring during fashion week. It was actually a really nice show and networking event. I was fortunate to speak with one of the technicians, Gina who is super nice, and she informed me on how the laser actually works. I told her my past experience and she frowned from the start, I think she knew right away what was happening and why it didn't work.

After speaking with her I wanted to come in and meet with her in a more professional atmosphere. So I had an appointment with her that went very well and I started treatments with her right then. Note this was only a short time ago but since my initial treatment I have noticed a world of a difference in how my hair is growing back and reacting. It is so much thinner and not coming back as fast or in the same quantity. This shows me that laser really works when done with a true laser.

Gentle Touch Laser Centers has very professional and educated staff that I feel is attentive to your needs and concerns. Just a short conversation proved to me they know there stuff and can back it up. Good work!

• Pros: Quality service @ affordable pricing.
