Another Win at Ideal Image Midtown…read more
This is my second visit to Ideal Image Midtown. The first time was for Botox (which, by the way, still has me looking great over a month later). This time, I took a more adventurous route with laser hair removal.
I decided to target some stubborn neck areas that itch terribly when I grow out my beard, and the back of my neck which always ends up making my haircuts look messy within a week. At first, I wasn't sure if I needed something as permanent as laser, but the constant annoyance made me think--why not? It's permanent, and this is a reputable place.
This visit mirrored my previous experience: smooth, friendly, and professional. Although D wasn't there, I was warmly greeted by Gabby and Raluca, the Manager. Check-in was fast and I was offered water, coffee, and a bathroom break right away. I went with coffee (and as a Miami local--I approve).
Melissa performed the laser treatment, assisted by Marissa. The room was clean and comfortable, and we got right down to business. They gave me laser-protective glasses that honestly made me feel like X-mens Cyclops. They warned me it might hurt--and I'm glad they did! I didn't expect it to sting, but hey, it is a laser. I opted out of the numbing cream, so shoutout to both Melissa and Marissa for being patient, reminding me to breathe, and making it a surprisingly quick and efficient experience despite my need for occasional breaks.
After the treatment, they applied cold aloe which felt amazing. There was some redness --nothing dramatic to the naked eye. The whole thing took under 30 minutes. Honestly, you could come in for laser and Botox on your lunch break and be back in time.
Highly recommend Ideal Image Midtown. Thank you Lindsey for recommending them they're professional, friendly, and effective. And next time? I might just opt for the numbing cream
