Wouldn't Trust This Company

WEST JORDAN, UTAH -- I would avoid Ideal Image for all of your services but especially their cosmetic injections. I am a former employee for this company. I was trained for 2 days on injections to the lips, NLF Marionette lines and botox/dysport. I felt the training to be inadequate and discussed this with my manager and even the company's HR department. Their response was if I would just practice I would feel more comfortable and get better. Mind you practicing meant on paying customers. I did practice on a co-worker who ended up in the Emergency room. The company didn't have any resources for her when she was dealing with swelling in which looks like her lips might explode.

I discussed this with my medical preceptor who suggested that I follow her around to learn some techniques. This left me feeling even more frustrated because she (the medical preceptor for multiple states) injected the wrong product into a paying guest's lips... She didn't even write up an incident report or let the guest know. Most of the providers felt like the training and ability to give a good treatment was unsatisfactory. After I put my foot down stating that I felt it unethical to practice on paying guests when I couldn't deliver what I felt to be a satisfactory treatment I was laid off because they were "overstaffed".

When guests return upset with their hair loss results or crappy injections (which is frequently) the company does little to remedy this or provide good customer service. If you are reading good reviews I would be very cautious. The company coerces guests to get online and give them positive reviews by enticing them with free product. So beware of positively inflated reviews. The other thing I would keep in mind and it does state this in very small print in the contract but guests never seem to read these, their lasers can STIMULATE hair growth. Yes you heard right. You might come out with more hair than when you started!!!

Their wonderful lifetime treatments doesn't mean a lifetime with free treatments... You pay a "co-pay" for these treatments and it can be $150 dollars or more a time. They claim they have top of the line lasers and that they use nurses. After doing these treatments for almost three years I can tell you that it doesn't make that big of a difference.

My sister works at a dermatology office. She's not a nurse. They use the same laser. They charge one tenth of the price and it works every bit as good. Go somewhere else. Don't trust that "Yes it may cost $7,000 or more for your legs but it's worth it and the financing is awesome." This is not a company that I would ever consider using. All they care about is building a bigger company and how many millions of dollars they can bring in a year.

More Than Three Times the Cost of Other Places and They Burned Me!

OMAHA, NEBRASKA -- Thought I was getting a great deal, turns out it was all a scam like the other posts suggest. I paid over 3K for bikini laser hair removal which doesn't even include your back side! While there is significant hair loss, I do still have dark brown hair growth that they say "won't go away because the hair is too thin." They also burnt my skin very badly last time.

When I called to tell them they had me come in to get some pictures but then nothing else was done. Three months later and I still have burn scars where the pigmentation in my skin is much lighter than the rest of my skin. I would NOT recommend using Ideal Image. The staff is friendly but the amount it costs is not worth it! I have since gone to Village Point Med Spa for other laser hair removal treatment. They charge 1K for the same treatment INCLUDING the back side. I will never recommend Ideal to anyone.

Big Waste of Money & Lied To

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA -- I am in a very bad financial situation but also, really need to feel better about myself. They had a Groupon sale and I got it even though I shouldn't have. I was promised that I would notice a difference in my clothes. Just about eight pounds overweight, but can't get rid of a flank problem. I was promised I would notice a difference by the salesperson and then once again by the person who did the treatment. I explained that I really could not afford to do this but if it would make a difference in the area that I couldn't lose I would do it.

Have not lost even a pinch. Of course the person I met today was not either person that promised me that there would be a difference and she said they never should have said that. Bait & switch. Waste of $2500!!! The women who took the pictures was trying to tell me that she could see the difference, but trust me, NONE. Don't believe what they say or waste your money unless you can afford to have many treatments & then maybe it would work. I only have a small problem and it did nothing! RIP OFF! Will never go back there for anything again

Misleading

BROOKFIE, WISCONSIN -- I spent $4000 to get my lower legs done. Their ads that say you can throw out your shaver are a lie. After several treatments, I still have some leg hair that has to be shaved. Also, you can't get tan at all during the treatment period or they won't do them. The whole process takes 1-2 years. They don't mention this when you sign up. Who is going to stay out of the sun for a year? I feel like for $4000 I should have no hair. Would not get this done again. Everyone there was nice and professional. Only plus.

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- So like most women, I want to look younger. I searched web-site and found Ideal Image and went for a consult and I got sucked in, hook, line and sinker. It was a very painful process, left my face bruised, sensitive to heat, tingling and just went for my 6 month follow-up and the after picture results look worse than my before pictures.

People beware of the what a scam this is. And no MD on property whatsoever and only a registered nurse, and technicians. I could kick myself. Even the clinician stated she could not see any difference. She knew I was upset, especially after I said what a waste of time and money and what frauds you all are, and she said she would get in touch with her upline manager and see what they could do. I won't hold my breath waiting for that phone call.

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA -- This is a terrible service and they guilt you into it! I got my face, neck, and lower back done for about $4,000 and I'm so disappointed! In the consultant room I asked them "Will it make my hair go away." They said "Yes 100% and if it doesn't you come back until it's gone away." What they didn't tell me was every time I came back after my basic 9 treatments would be $400.

Then I went to the nurse who does the laser and she said that I'll notice a "hair reduction" but it won't all completely go away! Two totally different things and I was lied to! My hair is still dark and it still grows back maybe a little thinner but that's about it. What crooks they are.

Not Worth the money... Didn't Work. :(

ROBINSON TWP, PENNSYLVANIA -- I spent over $2500 to have my love handles Cool Sculpted! Don't waste your money. My figure is worse than before. The area sculpted was more around my rib cage, not my love handles. I was very specific that my love handles were my problem spot. Now my love handles look bigger than before. She showed me before and after pictures. Which looked the same. She indicated it was because I gained weight. I have actually lost weight since I went. When you go for your consult and they weigh you they don't tell you your weight. I really wish I didn't do this!!!

Coolsculpting Procedures Are a Completely Waste of Money!!!

CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA -- DON'T EVEN THINK of doing this procedure: COOLSCULPTING!!! Not only it cost more than a liposuction, but it should be considered illegal. A rip-off totally. They show you pictures (amazing ones), promises 20% result max - exactly, a MAX of 20% result - (stupid me that bought that minimum percentage and that not even 1% I could see).

For more than $3,500.00 for the stomach, love handles and back fat removal and in 5 months you cannot see ANY result at all. On my follow-up, even the attendant that exam me, said it was ZERO difference. My back fat, it's today worst than it was before. I have a bar of fat showing now. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and don't be stupid as I was.
DON'T DO IT!!!

Laser Hair Removal - Followed by White Hair Growth

Rating: 2/51

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN -- I was treated at Ideal Image and had moderate results. The laser didn't do a good job on my thighs. Also, no one told me that afterward, I would still have hair growth on my legs, but it would be white. I now have long white hair which means I STILL HAVE TO SHAVE. I also have black hair growing on my thighs. After spending thousands of dollars, I am extremely disappointed. I called, and the woman told me that she also has "peach fuzz" and still shaves due to this. She said that she always tells the clients that. Well, no one told me. Had I known this, I would not have spent all that money for mediocre results.

PLANTATION, FLORIDA -- I went to Ideal Image today and they are running 50% off on laser hair treatments and for a full facial 4500 freaking dollars for 9 treatments. SMH, ridiculous. I had liposuction almost a year ago and only paid $6000 for my flanks, back and abdomen. So if they think I'm going to pay $4500 laser hair removal they have lost their marbles. This was a waste of my time. These people are clearly just money hungry. They don't care about the people. We are coming to you with our personal problems hoping that you guys can help and the only thing you clearly care about is the money.

I went to South Florida Cosmetic Surgery just for a consult last weekend. I like to explore my options just to make sure I will have top-notch service for my dollars and I asked the nurse, "Will your machine remove my hair permanently?" She answered with integrity and told me honestly "You will need blood work done before I can answer that question" and actually explain why she said it. She was sincere and didn't sell me a dream about being hairless unlike Ideal Image. They guaranteed you a lifetime treatment if hair come back but failed to tell me that I will have a co-pay of $150.00 or more.
