Yes, for over a year. Love my tech, and I think it's all about who treats you. I am having tremendous success with it, and I've written about it here before, so I won't repeat myself, except to say that with chains like this, it has more to do with the person who treats you than anything else.
Make sure they use high enough settings so that they can be effective, and request a couple of test shots too. Its working like a charm for me...I'm considering having this on other areas, now that i know it was sucessful.
Perhaps someone in your state can respond to this thread and give you details on the location near you. Mine's in FLorida.
Cheers,
Cassy

Tiana- Did you go for your free consultation yet? I looked at the website and it looks great. There is one near me not to far. I was told that it is very expenisve. My husbands bosses wife goes to Ideal Image and said that it is great she gets her upper lip done, but when she told me it cost her over $500.00 for her upper lip, I knew I wouldn't be going there anytime soon. So, I was wondering if you had your free consultation yet and knew what your experience was and what they told you about prices.
I bought a prepaid package, which in my case worked to my advantage. I have two years of treatment, with appts every 10 weeks for first year, and 12 weeks the second. After that it is only a dollar per shot of the laser.
From what I have read, some gals don't respond so I am glad I did, otherwise it might have been a costly experiment. $1100 total, if I recall. But like I said, thats for the two years. (I saved up for this and used my tax refund too!)
$500 sounds like a lot, but I'd be curious for how many sessions it includes...

I was quoted $4488 up front for full face treatment (chin, neck, upper lip, sideburns, and some cheeks) ... plus a numbing cream for almost $40 each treatment, and the need for a personal trimmer avg cost between $8 and $30 ... six to eight treatments every 10 weeks ... and then an additional 4 possible treatments extra in the next 12 months in case any issues arise. I was impressed with all the staff EXECPT the one person responsible for selling me the package - she was awful! The nurse and the front desk staff were great. The cost per would be like some $850 dollars!!! I don't know ... I need to research more options ...

Im in Kansas and using Ideal Image. I LOVE it so far! I have only had one treatment but Im shaving once a week opposed to once a day. I cant wait to finish the treatments and just be on touchups.
Im having my neck and chin treated and its $1100 . I will move to my sideburns once I can afford that.
Adding: My treatments are for a lifetime. I need to have 6 done but can come in anytime after that for touchups for free. Im excited about that because who knows what will happen.

Jelly, that fee is insane!!!! I paid 1000K for 6 treatments for my full face, and if you buy 6 treatments you get free touch-ups for a year. The GentleLASE was used on me, which is suppose to be one of the best lasers for light skin.

I promise this the the price quoted me by using the CANDELAgentlase at Ideal Image in Jacksonville FL for a full facial. Plus you get the numbing cream. Have you guys used the numbing cream? I worry a bit b/c it's not something you can get at your regular pharmacy but you have to go w/ a place called the compounding shoppe or a local as of yet unnamed pharmacy but not Walgreens for instance.

Ask them to break out the price for you. How much of it is for 'numbing cream', and how much for the actual laser service.
Seriously, that quote is EXTREMELY high. For that money, you can fly to where I live, and get full body treatments, and maybe have some cash left over...
(I've never had to have numbing cream)
*eta
I'm not in Los Angeles like my postbit says...I get my laser done in Raleigh, NC (but have also had it done in Atlanta for cheaper than $4000...WAY cheaper)

And... the "free year" is really only 4 treatments which i'm sure are really paid for by me already. I don't know where those of you going to ideal image are getting free lifetime but the deal i was offerred was $40 / treatment after the " free year" or $1 per pulse.

I did not go to Ideal Image. I went somewhere private. Also, if you use the GentleLASE, I really don't think the numbing cream is necessary.
