Booked a microdermabrasion and they spent maybe 5 minutes using the micro tool then another 5 applying creams and that was it - $60 down the drain. Never going back. Absolute waste of money. Beautician was lovely though!! Show details
Do not go to Laser Clinics. I bought a $60 microdermabrasion for my daughter and when she went and had the treatment the next day they charged me $120 stating the deal had ended. They did not care and claimed that I should have paid for it at the time. There was no info that stated if I didn’t pay at the time that the cost would double. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Show details
Highly not recommended. I visited the Bankstown clinic and was deeply concerned to discover that an unqualified laser therapist was permitted to perform treatments. This raises serious questions about safety, professional standards, and the clinic’s duty of care to clients.

I went to them for hair removal on much of my body but a lot on my back. I ended up getting amazingly bad acne on my back, despite never having had any before in my entire 32+ years of life. They didn't inform me of it, and it being my back I didn't notice immediately, so they keep doing treatments on the acne itself! It massively messed up my… Read more
back. It did permanent damage that I still have today, and what recover took months to do so. Worse, my hair ended up just being thicker than before I started! Not only did they not care even slightly, I spent thousands of dollars on these treatments and I had already prepaid for one more treatment before I saw the damage they had done. Despite it being their fault I cant use this prepaid service, they refused a refund. I didnt even ask for a refund of my prior treatments, just the one they had yet to do. They even refused allowing my girlfriend to use it! Rare does one see such amazingly bad treatment, and indifference to customer wellbeing. Absolutely the sort of people who'd take the cash out of your wallet while you are on the table if they feel you won't notice.
If I could give ZERO stars I would! My appointment was booked for 9am - it is currently 9:25am and the shop is still closed. No one is here. Lights are off. Door locked. Absolutely disgraceful. Yet if I just didn’t show up for my appointment I would forfeit the entire cost of the booked treatment. Beyond a joke. Can’t even call anyone or get in touch online. Show details
I got more thick hair on my chin – I got 8 sessions for chin and upper lips. Results were good but on my 5th session the lady was different and she was very harsh maybe that when i got that session i started having unwanted hair on my lower cheek and below chin. Really thick hair. I dont know what to do now. Very disappointed Show details
Lied to consumers about Boxing Day sale period – Laser Clinics Australia lied about their Boxing Day sale this year, advertising it as running until February 3rd 2025 however they have ended it early without any explanation. I wrote to them on Facebook asking why the sale was ended early and they just deleted my comment obviously to hide it from other customers, even though it wasn’t rude only… Read more
asking why the Boxing Day sale ended early, and they didn’t even bother replying in any form to me. I also had a staff member in store confirm it was running until Feb 3rd but the prices have gone back to full price now. What kind of company advertises a sale period and doesn’t honour it? I was planning on purchasing over a thousand dollars worth of micro needling treatments today, but after finding it was back to full price, I’ll be going with a competitor who’s price is almost as low as their sale price was. It’s shocking to me that anyone would advertise a sale period and then go back on their word, especially when this is for services not a product that they can run out of stock of, which would be the only reasonable excuse for a sale to end early.
Hair removal with absolutely no result – I have had laser done for underarms years ago and thought Ill do now everything else as well and underarms need a bit again. First time I went I was sent back as they told I had selected wrong skin colour and I need a different machine. I have olive skin(not born here) and it looks more tanned than the skin type here. I had 6 sessions done and as… Read more
I was told with tanning I should not get laser done then wanted to skip summer. Few months later all the hair was back and absolutely no result. I called the clinic and I was told to go back there. Next day the owner calls me and just says I need more sessions. I undestand that 6 sessions is not enough to fully get rid of all hair but talking to the therapist in the clinic she agreed as well that I should have hair growing patchy and underarms should be enough as I had done them previously. I wasted 600 dollars and so much of my time and added again the time I was called to go back to show results. The only thing I was told was that have more sessions and maybe now my hair is different than before(more hormonal). The previous clinic removal worked well what I had done in Australian skin clinic.

Tired to change my package after i paid. Went from 3 areas 6 times To one area 4 times and was forced to pay more for the other two areas. Because when i paid it was in sake, then they changed it the sale was over. Back and forth arguing with… Read more
the staff, they finally just give me my treatment back i paid for, . . . So i thought.
Went in, they said they dint have tune for my full treatment and will be only doing a part of it.
I asked for my money back, they wouldn't pay me back for that days treatment, due to short notice, BUT TOOK THE FULL TREATMENT OF THREE AREAS OUT. IF THEY JUST DID MY FULL TREATMENT OF THREE AREAS I WOULDN'T OF ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK
Follow-up · Bookings process Was told to buy a certain package. After i paid they tried to change My package giving me way less treatment. Partially refunded. Will not go back

Burnt ++*+ now scarred. Had my legs lasered in October they have burnt me and left my legs with polka dots. Initially when they reported this to them they tried to put the blame on me, then I had to ask for a refund, which I got for my legs only,… Read more
not the other parts of my body that had been lasered on the day. Told me to go to the chemist and get cream and wanted me to come and show them which was impossible due to my work schedule. Very poor and dangerous. See pictures the one at the beach is 2 months later.
Follow-up · A hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation, I had this at home and it doesn’t stop scarring, My arms were also burnt a little but not scarred like my legs. I didn’t see a Doctor, I’m a Registered Nurse, apart from analgesia they would not have been able to reduce scarring left

the worse place that I had treatment I spent $2000 and I have worse results and they don’t want to refund my money now I have to wax myself I spent 1 year and a half of bad treatments Show details
Dear Team, I was very disappointed with my most recent laser appointment. I have been a loyal customer for over two years, and this experience fell well below the standard I have previously received. My laser package includes fingers and toes. The appointment began with my toes, after which I was told that my fingers were not included. There was… Read more
then confusion around my package, and I was incorrectly told that I had no remaining laser sessions for my legs, even though I did still have one session left. This was later corrected. Following this, there was further confusion when I was told that I did not have laser included for my bikini area. The repeated errors and lack of clarity around my package made the appointment very frustrating and disorganised. Additionally, I was unhappy with the service provided by the two new staff members. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning. I wanted to share this feedback as I have previously been satisfied with your services, but this appointment was extremely disappointing.

I had my third time with Joyce before the Xmas because I need to travel overseas. My result was great and my face looks great and smooths and price is fair. happy with the result and I will see Joyce in a four months time for the injection again and she gave me a very professional advise for how I should look after my appearance from time to time.… Read more
By the way the company are using a new system on their website so it’s more convenient for lots people because you can go to the website and check and book appointment online instead of call but still lots to improve like history and other staffs. Anyway. Joyce is great very professional and friendly I will keep stay in Hornsby clinic for now.
I would NOT recommend Laser Clinics Australia. They falsely advertise products and services, are NOT accommodating, very very poor customer service. Management have not responded to me despite several emails and phone calls about my package. I have been extremely disappointed with them. I would not go to them ever again. Show details
Setting up an appointment was easy. When I arrived for my appointment, the reception staff were very helpful. Teodora - the medical esthetician who performed the laser treatment was super friendly, very professional and knowledgeable. She was very thorough and efficient. A great experience all round. Highly reccomended - I have already booked my next appointment. Show details
⭐ One star only because I had to select something to leave a review. I had CoolSculpting done here and it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a cosmetic clinic. Immediately after the session I couldn’t even put my shoes on — I needed help because the pain was so severe. I was in pain for a month. Every time I called the clinic for… Read more
help or advice, I was dismissed, and none of my calls were documented in their clinical notes.
The person explaining the procedure said you wont end up with loose skin your younger then me, when in actual fact i was older by 3 years when she mention your younger then me, she mention look at my loose skin, after i already had it done, and they were not properly trained. I was told my stomach would be “snatched in.” The only risk they mentioned was PAH, which they said was 1 in 100,000. Thankfully that didn’t happen to me — but I ended up with loose skin and a new bulge that wasn’t there before. Yes i had bit of fat like we all do. Clothes I wore on the day of the treatment no longer fit the same, and other outfits don’t sit properly anymore.
They apply as many applicators as possible, which made me question what the goal actually was — $ -other clinics use far fewer. They also don’t offer any tightening procedure afterwards, which I was never warned about. The I believe CoolSculpting here has actually worsened my shape. NOTE, you far better off keeping your shape and fat where it is, im not a big person by far, im only a size 12, There are no refunds, and they take the staff’s word over the client’s. I spent a lot of money at the Waurn Ponds clinic in the shopping centre and I regret it. They also seem to go through cosmetic nurses and staff constantly.
I won’t be going back. Please be warned — this was a very disappointing and painful experience. It just removes the fat but with too many aplicators done on the day has left me with loose skin thats now a bulge.
Very disappointment . Feel like I was scammed. I purchased 3 x laser pigmentation removal for face online on 21/11/25( Already paid for 2 treatment online) and make an appointment today. I was told that treatment is not available in Dubbo just when I got there .I purchased and made an appointment 2 weeks in advance. Both online and Dubbo clinic… Read more
didn't mentioned about that when I purchase online. If I have known earlier , I wouldn't have purchased that. Want my refund. Also my friend had similar experience. The one she purchased is not available and got different treatment that she didn't prefer.
I have been a regular customer for 10 years. Was treated for laser hair removal. Results are fairly poor. They discount their services heavily and promise that pre-purchased packages "virtually do not expire". Today, I was booked for treatment and wanted to use a pre-purchased treatment. Before the session started, I was advised that the treatment… Read more
expired YESTERDAY, as such they refused to honor it. I tried to reason with them, but they still refused to allow it. This clinic is a scam. I have repeatedly questioned the effectiveness of the treatment with the therapists. No answers given. Customer Service is often very poor with rude girls taking bookings and performing treatment. I have now decided to go elsewhere. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone
I was genuinely excited to try the Melanopro treatment at the Carindale clinic, having been advised it would help improve pigmentation and the texture of my aging skin. The application process went smoothly and I followed the aftercare instructions diligently. However, at my six-week follow-up, I was disappointed with the results. What concerned… Read more
me even more was that the "after" photos taken by the therapist appeared to be filtered - noticeably blurred and brightened. When I raised this issue, the therapist attempted to use a different camera and adjusted the lighting, but we were unable to capture an image that matched the original "before" photo. As a result I can't confidently assess the effectiveness of this $800 treatment.
The use of filtered images to represent post-treatment results is deeply concerning and misleading. Based on this experience, I won’t be returning to this salon and I would caution others to consider this before booking.
Don't waste your time or money with Laser Clinics Australia. Paid $843 for various laser hair removal. Forced to choose a clinic. Chose The Glen who went into liquidation. They refused to treat me because of meds but I only received a $300 refund the day before the sudden closure. They'd told me they'd call me the next day to reimburse the balance… Read more
when they'd taken more money. Their records claim I was fully refunded my bank account proves otherwise. Came off meds & got balance of $543 transferred to Doncaster. Turned up, left waiting for well after my appointment time & still refused treatment despite being off meds for well over their timeframe! Emailed their HO as instructed to obtain refund (they don't have a phone number, which says it all really) & no reply. Avoid at all costs.
I’ve tried calling Doncaster clinic multiple times over the past few days with no success. The Glen store is closed permanently, and account is transferred to Doncaster site. Despite repeated attempts during business hours, no one has answered the phone or returned my calls. This lack of responsiveness is extremely frustrating, especially when… Read more
trying to schedule or follow up appointments. I hope the clinic improves its communication soon—clients deserve better accessibility.

This is my second time with Joyce at Laser Clinics Hornsby and the quality of her work is consistently outstanding. She’s precise, professional and delivers exactly the natural result I want. The service is always great value for the quality you receive. Show details
Just an FYI - Laser Clinic Australia clinics are franchised. This means that if you’re unlucky enough to have prepaid hundreds of dollars to one that goes into administration, you’re stuffed. Two options are to ‘ submit a Formal Proof of Debt or Claim’ whereby they ‘ cannot provide any assurances that a refund by way of a dividend will be payable… Read more
in the liquidation’ (eg NO REFUND OF YOUR MONEY) or have the option for your credit to be transferred to another clinic, over 40 minutes away from your chosen one. Don’t prepay any sessions.
Excellent service for skin treatments with personalised care and professional staff. The staff are always very friendly and caring, being attentive to the needs of the customer. I have been coming here for years and always had an excellent service. Joelle particularly provided an exceptional microdermabrasion at my last session. Show details
I have been visiting the Kawana clinic for the past couple of months and very happy with their treatments. I highly recommend seeing Bec. She has outstanding knowledge and experience and is very informative on the treatment that you receive.
Biggest waste of energy, time and money of my life After 7 sessions my hair growth is exactly the same as prior to starting treatment meaning the $700 and about 20 hours spent getting to the clinic and the treatment itself was a complete waste of time and money. I wasted the last summer because you can't be in the sun 2 weeks after and prior to… Read more
your treatment which means never, it was so stressful and honorees as you always have to go out of your way as we live on the beach.
I discussed this with my laser therapist at the last session, and the response was, it does not work for anyone and never will all hair be removed, it will just become lighter [?!?]. In my case not even that.
Needless to say the photos and what's advertised is very different.
For my 7th Laser session, settings as follows for a non-sensitive area [Underarms and Legs]: 10 J/cm² (Fluence) 5 ms (Pulse Duration) 2.0 Hz (Repetition Rate) Its the middle of winter hence no risk of sun exposure. I am not fair skinned [nor olive or dark] just middle of the road, I have had no issues with the first 6 sessions hence no risk of adverse reaction.
From doing research these settings are extremely conservative, not to say useless, especially taking into account the number of sessions I had, zero sun exposure or risk thereof and zero adverse reactions. Other reviews also state a similar experience, that at Laser Clinics you need a lot more sessions as each session uses extremely low settings.
Disclaimer here is that I am on Hormone Replacement Therapy, and have been on the exact same treatment for about 3 years, hence my hormones are stable, and blood tests confirm that my hormones are a) stable and b) no higher than a healthy 35 year old. Of course, this was disclosed in great detail when I purchased the package. We then moved interstate, thankfully the clinic where I bought the packages transferred, however in hindsight it would have been better not to waste all this time and energy.
When I started my first session at the new clinic, there was immediately a concern raised about the Hormone Replacement Therapy and that the treatment might not work. Of course, I asked for a refund as no point wasting time and money on something which is not going to give results. The clinic where I purchased, mentioned that there is never a guarantee [red flag!!], however where happy to take my $700 and did not consider the HRT a big enough deal.
No refund was provided by the clinic raising the concern and administering the treatments, which is outrageous as I disclosed my situation in great detail PRIOR to payment.
Result: $700 gone, 20 hours and a wasted summer I never get back in addition to the stress of it all.
On a positive note, the laser therapist was always really friendly and she was knowledgeable, which was appreciated.
Had an awesome experience at the Richmond Clinic. From the customer service to the laser itself was easy and enjoyable with great results. Highly recommend to others. Show details
Beware! I was left with blistering and third degree burns as the "therapist" didn't know how to use the laser properly. Over 18 months later and many remedial treatments later and I still have scarring. Criminal. Show details
Told me I had fake tan under my arms but didn’t even tan my upper torso. It was almost 4 weeks ago and she almost scrubbed my under arm off and left a red rash Show details
