Laser Clinics Hurting

Sydney’s leading laser hair removal experts, Nad’s Laser Clinics are not in favour with the growing trend of backyard laser hair removal operations.

As recently investigated by Choice, a lack of training and use of incorrect laser technology has resulted in Australians suffering painful and often irreversible injuries.

Founder of Nad’s Laser Clinic, Sue Ismiel, believes that the increase of pop up laser clinics and their ability to cut prices, is to blame for many Australians fear of the industry.

“Laser hair removal involves the use of highly powered laser technology and equipment,”  Sue says.

“To think that people are setting up shop in their homes, and at salons without thorough and intensive training is baffling.”

“At Nad’s Laser Clinics, we have a dedicated employee for therapist training to ensure our stringent policies and procedures are followed and treatments are performed at the highest possible standards on an on-going basis.”

Nad’s Laser Clinics are the only laser hair removal specialists in the industry. Nad’s is a trusted brand with over 20 years of experience in hair removal.

“Laser machines are complex and highly technical, and use of the machine varies based on customer skin type, hair type and medical history.  With an unprofessional setup it is easier to undercut professional operating clinics’ prices, because money isn’t being spent on machine maintenance, service or training and hiring of professional staff. However the results of their treatments impact us all, often turning people away from the entire industry.  Without a high level of on-going training customers and professionals are at risk!”

While Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania are the only states to regulate the use of laser hair removal treatment, the rules are lax.

As a result of no or limited regulations, Sue urges any customer interested in laser hair removal to do their research beforehand.

“Customers must ask themselves whether saving money is worth risking the safety of their skin”.

Nad’s Laser Clinics, which operate in six suburbs across Sydney, have clients who travel from all states for their hair removal treatment.

Alison who travels from Jindabyne says:

“I have had several bad experiences with so-called laser ‘specialists’, and know of many "backyard" operators.  Laser became a treatment that is available everywhere, so it can be confusing to know who to trust with your skin.  I did my research, and because it isn't a treatment I need to do so regularly, I travel to Sydney and visit a laser specialist I trust”.
