Illume Skin & Laser offers laser hair removal, pigment removal, facial tightening and contouring, vein removal and skin rejuvenation services.

Their services were awarded Consumer Choice Award South Alberta for two consecutive years, 2021 and 2022. We believe this adds to their reliability since their performance meets industry standards.

Yet, we noticed some complaints of dissatisfied clients about their treatment not working as it should have, such as hair growth after a couple of weeks. These instances made us question the effectiveness of their technology and treatments.

We like that they have a price list online detailing the rates for each type of laser hair removal they offer. But we also discovered that they are slightly pricier than their competitors, having rates as much as $15 to $20 higher.

It’s also good to note that they offer promotional deals such as saving up to 50% on the 6th session by prepaying the prior, and we think this sort of remedies their high prices.

Notably, Illume Skin & Laser is open on Saturdays, which is great for those busy people during the weekdays.

However, it has come to our attention that there are instances of slow booking processing, so might as well get a hold of them early on to secure a convenient appointment time. 

Kalon Medical Aesthetics specializes in laser hair removal, medical aesthetics, and facial treatments. We like that their treatments are open and compatible with all skin types.

Furthermore, they offer consultations for their laser hair removal services — free of charge. That said, we encourage you to take advantage of this to learn as much as possible about your situation to help you make the best decision.

We also admire their online booking platform since it shows the price list, practitioner, service type, and availability, making it convenient for clients to schedule a session after a few clicks.

However, we noted some reports about unsatisfactory results, such as clients experiencing hair growth just four days after the session. This regrowth is faster when compared to the four to six weeks of effectiveness from other companies.

A factor affecting this undesirable result may be the technology they use for laser hair removal. 

On a better note, we are pleased with their competitive rates for each type of laser hair removal service. They offer prices that are $15 to $30 lower than other clinics.

Overall, because of their low prices and accessibility, we think Kalon Medical Aesthetics is a solid choice for affordable laser hair removal treatments in Calgary.

Established in 2010, Fresh Laser Skin Studio continues to provide skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, tattoo or pigment removal, and body sculpting services.

We are glad to know that they are medically directed and are a registered Cosmetic Laser Clinic, a crucial aspect since their services involve the human body.

But we are a bit concerned after hearing about laser burn incidences with some clients. Some cases involve irritation and pigmentation after a session, so we suggest insisting on a skin test to see how your skin will react.

As for bookings, we’re pleased with their online system containing open time slots along with their services. Additionally, being able to see the available schedule at a glance adds points for convenience when booking a consultation or session. 

Just a heads up: all consultations are done virtually via Zoom. We found the fees quite steep at $15 per session. 

In addition, we also noted that some clients are not satisfied with their consultations. Several mentioned that the technicians gave vague answers and explanations, and we hope they can improve on this.

Finally, we are happy that they offer special deals for their services, including laser hair removal. You can save up to $35 per treatment and even a 50% discount on lifetime touch-ups, which is crucial to achieving consistency and longevity.

With over 25 years of experience, Viso Medi Spa & Boutique offers a full range of esthetic services, including laser hair removal, facials, microdermabrasion, micro-needling, and other advanced skin care.

Clients can easily get in touch with them through a phone call or online booking forms that show their available time slots, pricing, and types of service. We appreciate this convenient feature for their clients, especially those who have successive sessions.

Although, there have been a few occurrences of unanswered emails and a lack of responses to further questions.

We also learned that they offer free customizable consultation, which we think allows clients to receive treatment plans based on their specific needs and conditions for better efficacy. 

However, we also heard of instances concerning non-accommodating staff, particularly with clients visiting for walk-in schedules and consultations.

Regarding their pricing, we discovered that they charge higher than other places. On average, their rates are $20 to $40 higher than their counterparts for the same services.

That said, we are quite pleased that they have special offers with up to 40% discounts on laser hair removal treatments.

Lastly, it’s impressive that they have gained a loyal clientele, with some coming to them for treatments for over two decades — a testament to quality performance and results.
