Laser Clinics Australia - Bondi Junction Westfield

"I would like to thank Tara for her understanding and patience with me . Last week I wasn’t feeling at my best and I wrote a not very positive review. My apologies, and I really want to recommend her for any injectable treatment. She really did a great job . Thanks again Tara ."

"5 stars for Laticia! So very professional and great at her job. Can tell she knows what she's doing and feel very safe in her capable hands. You need to give her a raise! :)"

"5 stars for Tara from Laser Clinics Bondi Junction. After 3 consultations, Tara was the one who made me feel most comfortable to get my first treatment. If you’re on the anxious side like me, book an appointment with her, she’s very reassuring and doesn’t make you feel stupid for asking many questions. Very professional! Give her a payrise :)"

"This review comes a few years late, but I only realised recently how shockingly bad my experience was after mustering the courage to try laser again this year and having the complete opposite experience (see my other review). Back in July 2019 I decided to try laser on my face to reduce an abundance of black unwanted hair. From memory I pre-paid ten sessions. I was excited to finally be doing something to rid my life-long struggle with having to regularly de-hair my face but what I was to endure almost left me traumatised. Firstly, the pain. It was absolutely excruciating. I found myself having to psych myself up every time just to make it to the appointment. I tried to voice my concerns to the technician, and even though I had a different one every time, not one of them seemed to care or understand the amount of pain the treatment was causing me. The only thing they suggested was to try numbing creams. I had even asked several times if they could adjust the settings or do something with the machine so that it wouldn’t be so intense, but they refused, saying that it was basically just a number on a dial and my setting was already on the lowest. I felt unheard and like my concerns were being dismissed. I was just a number – in and out in 15 minutes. No time for listening to me – they just wanted to get it over with and shoo me out. Every time I finished a session, my face was bright red like a tomato as if someone had slapped me all over my face or like I’d had the worst sunburn. Something about this didn’t seem right, especially after almost every appointment, the pain I had endured during and after the treatment left me feeling faint. One time I seriously thought I was going to pass out from the residual burning pain I felt on my skin. It would take a few hours for the pain and redness to subside. Luckily there was no lasting damage to my skin. And I don’t believe I have a low paint threshold either, having had children without pain-relief, I am not unfamiliar with intense pain. Plus, I had also done laser on my legs in the past (a different clinic) without having experienced this level of pain or redness either. Secondly, the results. Now, if this type of pain was going to get me results, I was almost prepared to endure it, proven by me managing to attend nine out of the ten sessions. But the expected results never came. If anything, my face was worse than ever. The hair never fell out or reduced after each session. I had to shave my face in-between (as I could no longer wax or pluck) and I practically ended up with coarse black stubble like a man’s face. My face wasn’t like this before the treatment, I was definitely not expecting it to become like that after treatment. I cannot express the utter disappointment and sadness I felt that all that pain felt, and money wasted resulted in my face becoming hairier! I went back to waxing and plucking and depressingly accepted that this was something that I was probably just going to have to do every few days for the rest of my life. If you’ve read my review this far, this is my advice. Do your research. Not all lasers are the same. Don’t get enticed or roped-in by their sales and discounts for pre-paid packages either. Make sure you go for a consultation that involves them actually using the machine on you. Get a feel for the people that will be treating you. If you feel rushed or your questions not properly answered, try somewhere else. In hindsight, even after having had the first session I should have demanded my money back. In the end, I found the most amazing laser place and technician this year that has helped me recover from the trauma of my experience at Laser Clinics Australia. I’m finally achieving the hair-reduction results I was desperately seeking the first time around (please see my other review)."
