Sk:n clinics - any experiences?

Hiya!

I saw this clinic featured on teenage embarrassing problems when a poor girl was covered in body hair - I thought I was bad. But within one treatment she was so much happier - it wasnt all gone, but I believe you need a course of around 6 anyways?

Anyone used this clinic and can you confirm that the treatments do work? Id love to go wild and purchase a 6 course "whole body" package for £1,995. It would totally be worth it!? But then I want to see if one area works first before spending nearly 2 grand for it to not work!! Youd probably spend that in a couple of years on salon waxes anyway so youl be saving money in the long long run!!

Anyone had a 6 course treatment? Do you ever need to shave/wax anymore??

Look forward to any responses!!

Thanks ladies, Gem xx

Skn hard sales

I found this company unprofessional, I arrived for my appt, they didnt have me on their list, I waiting nearly 45mins before I was seen, I finally had my consultation with a nurse, hard selling to me, about aftercare products, buy 3 get discount, hair removal packages and offers, I wasnt bothered about the money, I just wanted to know about the treatment and if it worked, she basically rushed me as she was running late and was more bothered about selling me products. I didnt like the atmosphere at this clinic at all everybody seemed miserable down to the receptionist who was rushed off her feet, nurses running late some even sitting around having a cup of tea!! waiting room full of people. My advise stay away from this clinic !!

Laser hair treatment

Probably best to avoid Sk:n then. I have been using Permanent Beauty in Reading, Berkshire. They are really nice and have lots of different types of laser and IPL equipment so they will use the one that gives best results on your particular hair and skin. They offer lots of beauty treatments too. The results have been really good so now I'm thinking about getting other areas done. My friend goes to their clinic in Guildford and she's getting on really well too. Say goodbye to those razors and tweezers!!

Don't go near sk:n unless you want to be burned

I had 4 laser treatments at Sk:n on a number of my body parts. the fourth time they burned me badly - they like to call it hyperpigmentation.

I now have large patches of dark discolored skin and after talking to the consultant there she said that it was because the laser intensity was too high for my skin to tolerate and that they should have done test patches which they didn't.

She also told me that at the initial level i was treated at i would have never been able to achieve permanent hair removal.

i complained to them through what they call a complaint procedure and they basically denied everything, and tried to shift the blame.

i spent close to £2000 and they won't even do anything. after the doctor told me what did happen i was told that i couldn't see her again - obviously she said too much already and they didn't want her giving me ammunition.

whatever you decide, the best thing is to thoroughly research the laser hair removal and if you go for it choose a place other than sk:n

Don't do it...

Hi,

I have already been to Skn Clinics, it has been the worst experience of my life, they have made my skin tone very dark, after having just 1 treatment of laser hair removal.
But, more importantly, your bank details are not safe. After having read my bank statement, I saw several unauthorised transactions from skn clinics, they have taken more than £2,500 of my money, they have refused to remove my bank details, and I now fear for all of you. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO SKN CLINICS. They are a fraudulent company and have still got that they are registered with the healthcare commission when the healthcare commission has ceased to exist. THEY ARE A BOGUS COMPANY. BEWARE. THey also have several health and safety implications. When I went to have my treatment at the Brighton clinic, there were stray wires everywhere, in the room where I could have tripped over. There was also hair and paste on the tissue on the sofa where the nurse was being abrupt with me.
It's no wonder that an employee is even suing them.

Sk:n clinics

I went along but didn't like them much. Didn't find them very professional.

I think Rejuvenis was much better, but its only based in Bedford, whereas SK:N is national.

Overall I'd recommend laser hair removal as it does work

Sk:n?! bin! depicool is good?

Hey everyone,
Im really glad I found this post, I had my patch test doen with Sk:n and although the girl was nice who treated me,
I just didnt feel...comftable there? And if your getting your ladybits done, as I am, I want to feel comftable!
So Im trying out another place, depicool, the girl there is nice too, and I do feel alot better.
Im not sure if its going to work though? Has anyone had any experience with them?
Ive had 3 sessions, and I feel better in myself, but at 49 pounds, I dont know if a treatment can really be effective??
Let me know xxx
