3. IGBeauty Laser & Skin Clinic
Since 2010, IGBeauty has offered laser treatments to deal with those nasty little hairs. These treatments include Brazilian laser hair removal and machine-assisted techniques. One could say, then, that this Eglinton Avenue clinic is, ahem, laser-focused.
Aside from innovative approaches to hair removal, IGBeauty is distinguished by its well-credentialed team. The staff consists of laser technicians, registered nurses, and other qualified medical personnel.
If you’re looking to maximise the value of your dollar, you can explore IGBeauty’s package deals that target multiple body parts. Specifically, you can save up to 20% by bundling treatments for five different areas. Your options include underarms, chest, arms, back, legs, and feet.
Pros
- Specialization in laser treatments
- Savings via package deals
- More than 10 years of experience
Cons
- Closed on Sundays
Quality clientele relationships
Going to IGBeauty is a pleasure. Irina is a true professional. I come for laser hair removal (planning to do facials soon too). I had tried laser hair removal in the past, even at a dermatology clinic, and barely had any results, certainly not long lasting ones. Since starting treatments with Irina, my hair barely grows back, it’s amazing. You will be taken care of here and also – never pressured into anything! They are not looking to make quick sales here, they are looking for long term quality clientele relationships. I highly recommend coming in!

Cozy and clean
Irina is professional and knowledgeable. I came to her for laser hair removal. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. She made me feel comfortable very quickly and her treatments have been effective. I did a lot of research about lasers before and found her because of the laser she uses (LightSheer Duet) which is great for my skin type. Today, I am hair free! I enjoyed my experience with laser hair removal so much that I am now seeing her for facials and other services. I trust Irina with all my skincare needs!

Made me feel very comfortable
Have gone to see Charles a few times now. First time I went to get a massage and got some waxing done while I was there. He was very welcoming when I arrived and made me feel very comfortable. He is good at what he does and is very professional. Have been happy with his service everytime I have gone now. I recommended a friend who was also very satisfied. I would recommend his services to anyone.
Thanks Charles.

Extremely thorough and detail-oriented
I’ve been using Charles’ services for over two years now and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Charles is very professional, friendly, personable and extremely thorough and detailed oriented with his care. Charles has put all the right protocols in place to make me feel safe throughout COVID-19. I wouldn’t consider going elsewhere – I highly recommend him to anyone!

Worth every penny
I was extremely skeptical about getting laser hair removal as I am a black woman who suffers from PCOS. I have very sensitive skin and I was worried about scaring or generally having a poor skin reaction. On my first session we talked through the type of laser used, the risks and after care. I immediately felt at ease. I’m about 8 sessions and loving it. The technicians at New Skin are kind and patient. They will answer your questions and address your concerns. Worth every penny.
