Although they have only been in the industry for 5 years, Luxe Laser is making their way to popularity (at least in their area) with their range of treatments and overall service. These also are the very reasons why they earned a spot on our list.

First things first, the company invests in the latest hair removal technologies, which is a significant factor in our book. They are fully equipped with high-class FDA-approved lasers that can handle even the most stubborn cases of unruly hair.

On top of that, said lasers have also been found (through our research and interviews) to be not only effective but also safe. Their solid five-star rate on both Yelp and Google Reviews attests to this as clients were satisfied with the general safety.

The clinic’s complimentary consultation has also been receiving positive feedback. This is because, besides being free, they always make it easy to determine the right set of treatments for every unique case, which is what the customers are always looking for.

Another thing that wins us over is the fast and favorable service that their customers experience. We talked to their previous and current clients and they told us that even after one session, their hair was reduced, revealing sleek, silky skin.

Lastly, they offer free test pulses you can try for yourself before committing to a hair removal treatment plan under their care. Booking appointments with them, as we’ve heard, is smooth and easy – you just have to be patient as they’re often fully booked.

Laser hair removal at Riviére Med Spa isn’t at all different from any other laser treatment facilities in Portland. However, they’re best known for the pain-free treatment procedure they offer to clients, which we see as an edge against competitors.

We are wowed by the kind of equipment they have for this service, specifically the Motus AX with the Moveo technology. Thanks to this, clients can expect comfortable treatments from start to finish since this truly delivers a painless (not less painful, but painless!) laser experience.

It is also worth noting that under their care, hair in the treatment area can be permanently removed within 6 sessions of treatments. However, this is only an estimate and it’s a different case for darker skin that may need more treatments.

What concerns us, on the other hand, is the high rate they have for their laser hair removal treatment. For instance, a small touch-up can be done for around $100 whereas a full body treatment can run thousands of dollars.

Fortunately, they offer financing plans to help their clients manage the costs and pay over time through equal monthly payments. At the same time, there is also an option for package treatments, which some might prefer.

On the brighter side (which we truly appreciate), new clients get $50 off to welcome them to the facility. Although this only applies when they pay for any service that is $250 or above (still quite expensive by the way), it is still a plus point in our book.

Although Harley True offers a variety of skin care services, word on the street is that Portland residents still have them as their go-to laser hair removal facility. We attest to this as we’ve come into the fair reactions they’ve been receiving.

They have been practicing esthetics for over a decade, which is why we are not surprised at all with how they manage the thousands of treatments they perform. In fact, the business has been named as one of the most experienced estheticians in their area.

What we like most about them are the safety precautions they give their customers, mostly every after the treatments. This, we think, is an important thing not only for post-laser hair removal clients, since such measures are important for a better outcome.

However, there’s a tiny issue we are concerned about when it comes to the equipment they use. We are not quite delighted about the fact that their device isn’t recommendable for darker tones for the reason that it targets higher pigments.

On a positive note, this just proved their attention to protective measures and the overall well-being of their clients. Moreover, their whole set, as well as every piece of equipment in the facility, are sanitized regularly.

Compared to most of their competitors, Harley True charged $50 for consultation (non-refundable), which is a minor setback on our part. Good thing they are open for reschedules favoring the client’s convenience, but this also comes with an extra fee.

The kind of service Pain-Free Laser offers their clients is definitely shown in the name and is pretty self-explanatory. But what makes them even more recommendable, in our opinion, is the way they assure their clients of their safety under their care.

Through surveys and visits, we became aware of the featured technology they use for their laser hair removal treatment: the patented Soprano XL (FDA-approved). Through this, said treatment is done safely on all skin tones, which we certainly approved of.

Additionally, we do understand how you want to be treated by an expert, and this clinic did not fail us at all. After more than a decade since the clinic opened, they have mastered the art of laser hair removal, which is an extra factor besides the advancement of technology.

Speaking of the experience, we’ve heard that in a single month, their laser technician often performs over seventy-five Brazilian treatments (their most popular treatment). This track record speaks for itself and honestly has met our expectations.

Moreover, most of their clients vouch for the real-time projection of their desired outcome under the treatment (6 to 10 sessions). Although not all of them experienced this, the number of positive feedback is greater than that of the negative ones, so that pretty much wins it.

The thing that we didn’t like as much is their pretty expensive rates ranging from $70 to $350 per session (depending on the area of treatment). There are also no specials or discounts we’ve been aware of, but we’re always open to seeing more in the future.

It’s within our knowledge that customers often don’t undergo such laser hair removal due to its demanding rates. Fortunately, Cascade Medical Spa & Tattoo Removal brings high-quality treatments without breaking the bank.

Their straightforward business model seems to sit well with their customers, and naturally, with us as well. Through this, ‘pay as you go’ is an option along with Care Credit (additional charge for processing fee), and Doc Pay, which are both monthly payment plans.

Discounts are also on the table, wherein customers can save up to 30% off on their second or more areas of laser hair removal treatment (when treated in the same visit). Based on the surveys, this is mostly the reason for their long list of returning clients. 

Speaking of their laser hair removal, the clinic satisfied their customers using their Lumenis Lightsheer technology. Since this device is specifically designed for laser hair removal, it’s naturally ideal for this kind of procedure.

In addition, the removal of unwanted hair can be done faster and more effectively through the mentioned equipment. While it isn’t guaranteed to be pain-free at all, it can be less discomforting, which is better compared to certain pain from facilities.

Finally, besides the affordability and the quality of their service, the clinic’s location is great and is accessible to the residents in the area (we also heard of their awesome parking space). Their well-informed and friendly staff also approves to our liking.
