Denude med was recommended by a family friend. I set up a consultation appointment for laser hair removal. First impression of the building is that it's old and it's in the heart of Annandale, inside is very dated as well. The spa is located on the 2nd floor and has a very corky decor. The lady was signed me up was named Parisa and seemed a bit cold when she gave me the form to fill. After waiting another 20 minutes, I was called in, the room was clean but small. She explained the process and answered all my questions. She asked me to laser a small part of my leg to see how I react. Let me tell you it was terrible. The machine would suck my skin gently and shot heat as it let it go. My leg was burning the entire day. She did apply tea tree oil on the spot. If you ever had a feeling of your skin burning that's how it felt all day. Not sure what machine they sure but from what I remember it was Lumise or something similar. I won't be going to this place just coz it didn't feel like the right laser to me. I have seen over laser machines. Btw $200 for the whole body but all that burning feeling for a whole day or night is not worth it to me. read more

Decor: building itself us old, but the med spa itself is decent with peaceful music play in the background. Treatment: whole arm laser removal Price: reasonable, I paid under $200 for 6 Treatment with a groupon Result: So far so good. I will update my review once I've finished my treatment Waiting Time: I always on time but always has to wait extra 15-20 minutes for my treatment Treatment Time: Very quick, under 15 minutes. One time zip though, cover all upper arm area. I like the laser suction machine (Lumenus Light Theer Duet). No discomfort. Appointment: The place seems alway booked up quickly. It's better to book way in advance and make an appointment right after the treatment while you are there. It is open on Sat which is a big plus. Parking:There is a private parking in front of the building and always a spot available. Service: very good. I forget to shave one time and the lady just did dry shave for me. She is more concern of my discomfort from the laser after dry shaving then the fact I forget to shave. One time I totally forget and miss my appointment, they let me reschedule without deduct one treatment from my package. Everyone is very polite here. Product: they also sell most Obagi line & Latisse (extend eyelash) product here which is convenience. Regular price compares to other med spa. Tips: shave ahead of time. Buy numbing cream and apply 30-60 minutes prior to treatment if you can't tolerate pain too much. ( I use Dr. Numb purchased from Amazon) read more

I am so happy because I found them. I can not explain how much happy i am. I saw the result after first appointment. Nahid helping to me. She is extremely nice person. She is so helpful and nice. Thank you for everything. read more

This place is exceptionally clean and organized! Parisa is super professional in what she does and their prices are very reasonable. I spent two years going to another place that was supposedly very "high end" and professional. A friend of mine recommended Denude Med and it was then when I realized that I had been ripped off by my former laser place. read more

Over the past 10 years I have tried several different places for laser in Northern Virginia, and Denude Med Spa has honestly been the best experience I have ever had. To start, I noticed significantly better results in laser hair treatments in just a handful of sessions coming here than I have with all other places combined over the years. Second, the prices are so affordable and you pay per session. This brings me to my next pro, in that there is no pressure for services here. Many other places I have been to push you to buy packages with mediocre results at the end. And finally, everyone I have encountered have been professional and kind. You can't go wrong coming here! read more

I'm definitely a fan. I came to Denude via a Specialicious deal for laser hair removal. Of course, I checked Yelp first ... and one person had reviewed them --- and poorly. But, that person sounded like they had their panties in a twist, and I don't think you can just trust ONE person so I decided to go for it. It was a GREAT deal. Anyway. I called them to set up my consultation and they were super helpful. When I went to my first appointment (the consult) ... I'm not going to lie, I was a little turned off by the building it's in. It's older, kinda run-down (ish) and definitely not what you think of when you hear "Med Spa." But, up I went. I had my consultation, she tested a small spot on my leg and it wasn't bad. It wasn't like a hot iron ... not even close. For those of you who are tattooed - I'd say it's comparable, but not as bad. The laser kinda sucks your skin up (think about putting a vacuum on your skin) then zaps the hairs. It's not comfortable ... but, who would expect it to be? Come on, now. The ladies who work there are super nice and super professional. It's a small place, but they have a great staff, great products, and this laser treatment is fantastic. I've gone twice and had it done on the lowest level, and already, my hair isn't coming back. Long story short: give them a shot. read more

Groupon for a Obagi Peel. The staff are very friendly, but the office is strange. When my GPS said I arrived, I thought it was wrong. Old medical brick building that looks like it hasn't been updated since it was built. While I waited for the elevator I had an erie feeling I was going to get mugged, kidnapped or raped. J/K But I was a little scared. It is not the typical MedSpa like I am use to. I would imagine it is very expensive to rent out an office space, but this one was a little too different. Once I got in the MedSpa, the staff were very pleasant and friendly. They do use a lot of great products. I am an Obagi fan which is why I bought the Groupon. The service was wonderful and the lady that performed the peel was extremely nice. My face is definitely peeling and no chemical burns or strange issues If I need to go back, I would. I am over the stigma of the location and appearance. Not all things look the way they are, but a MedSpa should be more posh. Service was great. If you try them for a peel, you won't be disappointed. I wish I would have read the reviews before I went so I could be prepared for the office appearance. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Denude Med! I found this place 3 years back when I had just moved to DC. Nahid and Parissa are two sisters who work here and they are extremely sweet, courteous and accommodating. This was my first experience with laser hair removal and I tried it without any high expectations; but just after the first session, I started noticing some hair reduction. I continued the treatment, and after 6-7 sessions I have experienced about a 70-80% hair reduction on the treatment areas. My friends have also tried laser hair removal, but it hasn't worked for them. So this means the type of laser equipment being used is crucial and Denude Med's actually works! After 3 years I am still a very happy and satisfied client. Nahid does all my treatments and she is absolutely great! I found this place on Groupon, and even though they don't do deals anymore, they have ongoing discounts and specials on their website. read more

If I was able to give them 6 stars ,I would.Excellent services.Parisa is very professional and knowledgable .Highly recommended.

So I have been waiting to leave a review, because I wanted to go a few times to have a solid idea of how the business runs. I am a HUGE FAN of this place!! They have always been very professional and honest about everything. They will show up at 7am or 7pm to meet your appointment needs!! They have been nothing but kind, accomodating and professional. I am very pleased with the services I have received here. I've been getting laser hair removal and started with a groupon. To add additional areas for laser hair was also pretty cheap. Much more inexpessive than other places I have researched. read more

I'm a fan. I bought a voucher from a deal site because this business has the laser hair removal macine I like (LightSheer diode), and every other place in the area with this machine is insanely, ridiculously expensive. The office is a little cheesy, but the staff is nice, and I'm sold on this place. I will be returning to get other areas done after my voucher is up. read more

I've gotten laser hair removal at four different medspas, and this one is the best. Their machine works amazing - I have thick, dark hair and I've seen significant hair loss. The two sisters who run the place are very kind and know what they are doing. Highly recommended. read more

Bought a deal because I just wanted to take a chance after a different failed laser deal. It's a small family business, and the staff is awesome. I've done a lot of research on laser hair removal and successfully had my arm pits finished, and they don't try to hide or mislead you in anyway. You should listen and trust their advice. I am no getting my legs done, and the hair is already thinner after the third treatment. Remember though: my hair is darker than my skin tone, so I'm more of the "ideal" laser candidate. In general, I would say that this deal was DEFINITELY worth it. Once you get to know the staff, you'll know you made a right step toward hairlessness! read more

She burned almost half inch of my facial skin while conducting a test application. That made a visible scar and will take long time to heal if not permanent. She is not careful enough to do these operation and I doubt she has enough knowledge on this. I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. I tried to reach her but she didn't reply back. read more

Great experience here. I just completed my 7th session yesterday. I bought a LivingSocial/Groupon deal a good year and a half ago which was a steal. Their regular prices are also pretty good compared to other laser hair removal places. Very reasonable. They made everything pretty easy and explain to you things up front. I never needed numbing cream. The smaller the region and the closer to the bone you go, the more it will hurt. But bigger areas did not hurt, it was just a bit uncomfortable. The 7 sessions were 4-6 weeks apart but I had to take a break during the summer because I tan very easily. You will get better results if you wait for the fall/winter when you lose your tan a bit. I plan on going back for other areas. Definitely try this place out! read more

I got laser hair removal done on my legs, arms, underarms and upper lip. I was so pleased with the results that I referred my mom and she was also happy with her results. Everyone there is nice, especially Nahid. I really enjoyed our small talk. They are professionals, they don't go around burning people's skin as if they don't know what they are doing. It's a part of laser hair removal to have some down time because the skin needs to heal, so it will hurt, be red, a bit bumpy and may have some brown burn marks, but those heal depending on how you take care of them. You're supposed to stay out of the sun and moisturize your skin in order for them to heal faster. A friend of mine got his laser done at another laser place and he also had brown burn marks, THEY HEAL. All I can say is...I called Alased and was quoted about $7000, at Denude I paid about $2500 (this was about 10 years ago, so I'm sure their prices are higher now, but still cheaper than anywhere else). The results are the same, the body hair is gone. They have other stuff too like facials, I think Botox, they sell makeup..I never tried any of those. Bottom line is if you want to save money, this is the place to go to. If you're into ambiance, super professionalism, and other nonsense, go elsewhere (and pay more). read more

Hello all! So this is my first Yelp review. I actually started an account because I wanted to give my feedback for Denude. I was referred by a friend of a friend who tried Denude out a year or so ago. So here's my feedback... I went in for my first consult appt about 6 months ago. The consultant was very thorough in answering all my questions and explained the procedure and possible side effects. She did a test patch to make sure the treatment was an option for me. A few weeks later I went in for my first laser hair removal visit. Within the first week I saw a reduction in hair growth. It was exciting to see a change with only one visit. Since then I've gone back 5 more times to laser other parts if my body. So far there has been a significant reduction of hair in most of the places (my arms don't look much different but it's only been one treatment there...) Ok so as for side effects...yes I did have some. I burned quite a bit :/ especially my legs and thats probably because I still had an existing tan...don't do treatment if you think you even have the slightest tan! All the other areas that were slightly burned have healed and looks like my own skin again. Did it hurt...yes! For me it did at least. I think the treatment will be different for different people. For my sister and friend they had no pain. But they have a topical cream they provide that can help numb your skin. Its amazing and it works! So if you're wondering why I'm still giving a 5 star rating when I've had burns and pain it's because I was told before about these side effects about my skin type. I also appreciated the care the staff gave me once I told them about my situation. I was given creams and oils to help my skin and it made a difference. Another reason for the 5 star rating is the price! I shopped around a lot before Denude and the other prices were outrageous in comparison. Yes, like the previous reviewer mentioned the building is a bit old and run down but they do a good job within their suite to doll it up. It always smells good and it's clean. I work in the medical field and see patients all day long. To be treated with such care and consideration the way Denude has treated me has made me appreciate the service they've provided for me. Looking forward to completing all my upcoming sessions and on my way to a hair free body. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Denude. I have been there for two "lower leg" treatments and by lower leg, I mean she started 2 inches above the knee and even did my toes. It was very generous. The building that it is located in looks old from the outside but once you are in Denude, it smells nice and they have a plate of cookies out. They use my favorite type of laser- the one that feels like a vacuum suction. To me, it's the least painless of all the lasers that are out right now. I was so impressed with the service and bang for the buck that I asked if they would offer the same deal to my friends who didn't buy the groupon. They agreed and I sent an email to all my friends letting them know about this great place and great deal. read more

Do your research. After paying for almost 6 full body sessions no end result and it turned out to be not a true laser machine they use. What a waste. read more

I really love this place my mom and I have been going here for about 8 months for our laser hair removal. My legs have never felt better. The best money I have ever spent. I love the lady we go to she is super nice and does a great job! read more

I bought a voucher for 14 treatments. The appointments are easy to make. The treatments are effective. The ladies here are nice and they do not try to upsell you. read more

I would never get laser hair removal anywhere else other than Denude Med. I've been to several laser hair removal places and no one has ever been honest like Parisa. She has amazing bedside manner and I don't feel embarrassed at all. She's very realistic about my outlook about eliminating hair. She's so sweet and makes me feel very comfortable! I recommended her highly, you will not be disappointed, especially when you see the results!! read more

I just went in to get my first laser treatment! I loved this place, the customer service was awesome! My favorite part was the calming atmosphere they had set up! Not disappointed at all, and I do highly recommend it! read more

I am a new client at Denude Med. I am in the process of getting hair laser removal treatments. So far, my experience has been excellent. The staff is very proffessional and friendly. The office is always clean and quiet. Laser hair removal technician was very carefull, professional, knowledgable and cautious. I was throughly consulted on the laser hair removal process by the technician. The procedure was not painfull, I loved it. I am very happy with my choice. I will definately recommend Denude Med to all of my friends. read more

I have been going to Denude for 7 months. I am doing full facial laser hair removal and underarm hair removal. The place is clean and nicely decorated. The staff is very sweet and friendly. I have no problem getting an appointment, but is best to make a week in advance, if possible. I have been extremely pleased with my services and the results. I have done 4 sessions and I am almost hair free. I was so pleased, that my daughter also decided to do hair removal at DeNude. I originally bought my deal through Amazon Local Deals, but they met the same price of the deal for my daughter, even though the Amazon deal had expired. I highly recommend this medical day spa. They are friendly, experienced, honest, and will work with you, to give you their great service, for a reasonable price. read more

I don't understand why all the good reviews of this place have been filtered out. I had a great experience here. I went in for laser hair removal on my back. I used a Capitol Deal to buy 7 sessions. My hair is light brown, so they warned me ahead of time that it may take a few extra sessions. While I was getting it done, they always asked me if I was comfortable and if I was seeing results. And since it's not always the most comfortable experience, they always kept me distracted with conversation so I wouldn't focus on the discomfort. I saw better than expected results and would easily recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for quick laser hair removal. read more

I started to go here few months ago and I fell in love with this place The staff is super friendly and it's very homely . I would definitely recommend this place read more

I could not say enough amazing things about this place. I've been coming here for a couple years now and it is honestly the best decision I've ever made. Parisa is the sweetest lady and she always makes me feel comfortable to be there. I wouldn't go anywhere else but here. I'm constantly telling my friends to come here as well. Best money ever spent! read more

Stay far away. Rude, unprofessional. Office got overwhelmed after Groupon and has truly subpar customer service.

This is the worst place. I went there for a hair removal consultation. The person there named Parisa firstly was not a very pleasant person in the first place and then she told me that the equipment they have is a new one and won't hurt. The moment she tested on me it felt like iron on my skin. It was terrible and she told that its gonna be like that and some people are sensitive . come on if something is like hot iron its going to hurt. Very unfriendly people. Never go to this place even if they claim they are very cheap. Obviously if you are gonna burn the skin it has to be cheap. It left burn marks on my skin for a long time. read more

I always feel as though Ms. Ellini cares about me and makes me feel comfortable! She is professional, efficient, and always puts her clients needs first. She's honestly the best! read more

I originally got a groupon to have laser hair removal of my upper lip here. I got a great price for 7 sessions. I have had laser hair removal of my bikini line at a very expensive Dermatologists office in DC before. I only had 3 sessions there, and saw a small decrease in hair growth. I really wanted to have my lip done, and found this groupon. I'm so glad I did!! Their laser seems to be much more effective. I have had 5 treatments on my lip so far, and have almost no hair growth left. I am so happy with the treatments that I bought more sessions for my underarms and bikini line directly from Denude (although they did have a special on them) rather than waiting for another groupon. Initially, I had some trouble making an appointment, but after my initial consultation, I haven't had any other problems. I have been able to easily schedule my appointments after each service. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking for effective laser hair removal. read more

I got laser hair removal done at a great price. Years later my skin is still smooth!

I had laser done for bikini and under arms several years ago, when laser hair removal was not popular. Paid about $1,500 for crappy result and phony service at a high scale Med spa place in Columbia mall. Back then the lmachine looked like an old over head projector. Altho, most of the hair was gone, there were still black heads visible and were impossible to remove. Got a 14 visits groupon for Denude Med, called them ahead asking if I could split btwn the 2 areas that got laser done. Nahid agreed to help. I thought it was very nice of her to accommodate the request. So, I've been visiting this place. Love it. And Love Nahid. The place is small, but very clean and warm. You walk in side, you'll see warming burning candles, chocolates, cookies, sootthing music. Machine is one of the newest model. She tried different settings to see how the result turned out, now the black heads are going gradually. I would recommend this place to anyone. I've been to fancy place b4 and it didn't do me any good. Denude Med does. read more

I purchased a package online. I really liked my visit. Have to admit I was kind of worried because I read the reviews here but the building is a medical building. It's in Annandale, VA, not a scary place at all. The office is nice , clean, smells good and the employees were very nice. Explained and answered all my questions. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a personal experience. Going to my appt. next week to get started.....try it you won't be sorry! read more

I have been going here for laser hair treatments for about 7 months. I have also tried a few other services they offer. I LOVE everyone there! Anytime I am curious about a service, they take the time to educate me and are honest if they dont think it will work for me. I have had laser hair removal treatments at other places and had bad experiences with poor results. I noticed a reduction in hair growth after my first treatment here! Everyone is so nice and welcoming here. I also love that there is never a wait! They are always ready for me right at my appointment time! read more

This is an excellent place to get laser hair removal done. I had laser hair removal 4 years ago and it cost me tousands of dollars with extremely poor results. I was hesitatnt to try laser again but then I purchased a living social deal and went to Denude. Their laser machine is the best..no pain whatsoever and GREAT results. only 2 sessions and 70% improvement! I couldn't believe it. I am also taking my daughter now since the laser is practically painless! I have also included other areas for hair removal and the price is very very reasonable. Much cheaper than other places. I live in Urbana MD but dont mind making a trip to annandale VA for the laser and at such a great price! read more

I have had my facials done here since about 2007. I have had the spa facial and microdermabrasion done by Nahid and it was always great!! Nahid takes her time, is so sweet and does a great job. I always get compliments on my skin. Denude has also introduced me to a lot of great skin care lines like Obagi and Emience. I am looking to have laser hair removal done with them soon too. read more

I've been to many laser places and this one is by far the absolute BEST!!! The staff, Parisa and Naheed are super sweet. They treat you as an individual and take your needs into account. I've been going to them for a year now and don't have to shave anymore. read more

I have been their customer since early 2000. I was looking for a better way to get rid of hair than wax or electrolysis in 90's. After a 20/20 news, I found the very first center in Tyson's Corner in 1998 which was very costly. But, I was happy with the result. Then, I found Denude Med had more advanced machines, kind and skilled staff at a very competitive price. The staff perform the job with tender care. My skin tone was not the perfect choice back then for the laser hair removal technology. But, they made it to work for me with zero complications. They always update their equipment to a better model which matters to me a lot. They have, kind of, decreased their fees compare with 15 years ago. Their price has always been the best among their competitors. read more
