      On November 23, 2024, I purchased a laser hair removal package from LaserAway for $3,894, which included multiple sessions for legs, underarms, and Brazilian areas. After my first treatment, I experienced severe skin irritation, including burning, redness, bumps, rash, and painful itching, which persisted for weeks. Due to the discomfort and adverse effects, I decided to discontinue the treatments and requested a refund for the unused sessions, as allowed under LaserAways refund policy, which states that "unused/unrendered services may be refunded within one year."Initially, on December 30, 2024, LaserAway offered me two refund options:1.A prorated store credit of $3,245, or 2.A prorated cash refund of $2,647.I opted to escalate the matter further because the cash refund offer did not align with the prorated value of the unused treatments. However, since that time, LaserAway has reduced the refund amount further, offering $2,098, and introduced inconsistent and unclear pricing calculations that contradict their initial offer and promotional terms. Their most recent calculation reflects arbitrary price breakdowns that were not part of the original package or communicated at the time of *********** addition to lowering the refund amount, LaserAway has failed to provide consistent communication or act in good faith. Their responses have been delayed, dismissive, and at times nonexistent, leaving me feeling ignored and frustrated. Despite my efforts to resolve this amicably, LaserAway has refused to honor even their initial cash refund offer of $2,647, which was approved and communicated to me in good faith on December 30, 2024.I am requesting a cash refund that reflects the prorated value of the unused treatments $3,245 or at least the $2,647 originally offered by LaserAway. Their repeated changes to the refund amount, inconsistent communication, and refusal to resolve this issue professionally have caused significant inconvenience and frustration.

      Purchased a laser hair removal package in Nov 2023 for $3600. Agreement was made that $2750 would be financed through universal account services, and the other $844 would be paid whenever I made the first appointment. When I was finally ready to book my first appointment, I called and was told that I must pay the $844 before I could even book, because my account had been closed to this outstanding balance. I contacted the lady who I purchased the package with and she reopened my account, assuring me I was still ok to pay at first appointment. A few weeks later, I called again and ran into the same issue. This happened at least 5 more Times before I was able to just book through the original lady. After this issue, I continued to have issues with my package, but was getting no responses from my contact lady. When I was finally able to reach her, I asked if I could get a refund on the entire package,Since I had so many issues booking, and had not had my first appointment. She said they cant do refunds, but ensured me there would be no other issues and to just go ahead and start the treatments. I was also told these treatments guarentee up to 80% permanent hair growth reduction, but I have had 5 out of the 8 sessions and have had 0% hair growth reduction. I have paid too much money to not have any results and also to run into so many issues and unprofessional behavior from the staff and employees.

      Hello,

      Thanks for reaching out to us. We're very sorry to hear about your poor experience and ongoing issues. Upon review, your laser hair removal package has been restored to your account so you should not encounter any further issues. We understand how ongoing issues could be frustrating and discouraging, and extend our heartfelt apologies for your troubles. We appreciate your patience through the matter. 

      In regards to laser hair removal, we typically advise patients to start out with 8 treatments for the body and 10 treatments for the face. Depending on a variety of factors, patients may see up to 80% reduction, but the degree of improvement and number of treatments needed can vary with each person. For this reason, we offer 55% discount to our existing patients who have purchased full laser hair removal packages on those areas. If you're concerned, we are happy to work with you to create a more satisfactory outcome.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have had 0% hair reduction in the areas I have treated. I have had 5 sessions and to have no reduction is ridiculous. It is also ridiculous how many issues I have had when trying to book.i have been in contact with a ******* from corporate but still have had too many issues regarding my package. I would like a full refund for these treatments. This is crazy and LaserAway has the worst customer service 


      Sincerely,

      ***** ******

      Hello,

      Upon review, you have only completed about 4 out of 8 treatments thus far. Typically, we suggest starting out with a minimum of 8 treatments. Please keep in mind that only a fraction of hair is targeted each time so reduction occurs gradually over time. We would encourage you to continue treatment for further reduction. 

      Since services are elective, LaserAway does not offer refunds for completed treatments. If you would like to discontinue your current treatment, we are happy to provide you with store credit for your unused treatments which can we used toward a different service that we offer.

      I purchased a package with laser away in ********** I was told I could get in as to a procedure with in a month. They has staffing issues and the appropriate person to do the procedure was not hired for quite some time. During the lack of staffing I did accept being a "model " for them getting a facial for free for the hassle they offered also ***** for training purposes which was also free. I ended up with stage 4 liver disease as I am unable as they knew to not have a treatment. The girls at this office are amazing. However the company itself refuses to acknowledge me as I have been told I can have a refund and no check had ever arrived. I paid in alot of money I never received services. I have been trying since December 2023 I even flew into *********** from *********** to resolve the issue in person. This had been the worst run around i have ever since in a company as to thing I was scammed into health services for aging women. As if they refuse to honor me I will expose them on multiple platforms as it is. They are a scam period as I have been in the office hearing so many people trying to get refunded I am surprised they are still in business

      I ordered a package for hair removal from Laser Away and it was paid for through the finance company ************* I received one treatment and decided to cancel the rest or the treatment plan. After a few months of requesting a refund they finally gave me a partial refund. The refund included services as a la cart instead of the package but the a la cart price was very high, almost a 3rd of the package price. I requested a separate quote as if I were a new customer and the quote they gave me was $747.40 lower than the refund I was given. I asked them to honor the price and they agreed. The finance company told me they did not receive the refund. I called Laser Away back and requested a call back to resolve the issue for over a month. I also sent multiple emails. I contacted the finance company again and was told me that Laser Away reversed the $747.40 refund stating it was an over-refund. Laser Away did not contact me at all about this change. I still have not been contacted by Laser Away regarding this for over two months. I would like my $747.40 refund as well as any interest that is being accrued on this loan.

      I pre-paid for a package of treatments at LaserAway (done by phone). I was diagonosed with cancer before I could use the service, and my ** told me I could not get laser treatments. I have called 3x about a refund/credit to get the money back. Each time I was told someone would "be in touch." No one ever followed up, and they apparently only kept a record of one of my 3 calls. I want the money refunded, or at least a store credit.

Before purchasing the ***** package, we saw their Ads on Instagram, where they made everything look amazing, but when we went there, we were deceived with lies and false promises. Note: They also violated HIPAA by sending me other patients' information.

      I was contacted by a LaserAway in late March regarding an offer for purchase of injections. I accepted the offer and made the purchase. However, in early May, I began reaching out to request a refund for the services as I was not going to be able to use them. Despite several attempts, I was unable to contact anyone at LaserAway. The phone goes to voicemail, and you cannot leave a voicemail, there are email addresses yet you receive an automatic response that you cannot write them via email. I have requested to speak with the manager at the location, who told me that I needed to speak directly with ******** sold me the package. I have reached out to that person several times with no response. I went on the LaserAway website and gave them a one star review because of the problem I am having. Someone reached out to me, yet when I shared I was needing a refund because I was not going to utilize the service, the communication stopped. I would like assistance from the BBB to have a refund issued for the $1100 I spent for services which I cannot redeem. Thank you.

      I received a credit card from LaserAway Bank called Alphaeon. I never used the card and declined to spend $1900.00 for some work on my neck. I had already paid $1200.00 for three facial work for bright skin and I did not see any change in my skin. I looked at my credit report yesterday and this so called bank put money I do not owe them on my credit report. I called them and they said they would cancel the card. I tried calling LaserAway to call the bank and they won't answer my calls.. I do not owe anyone $193.00 I never received the service.

      Hello,

      Thank you for reaching out to us. Upon review, it appears you've previously spoken to one of our representatives about your concerns. It appears that our team was not able to appreciate your visual concerns and felt that this response may not be due to treatment. However, we absolutely understand your desire to discontinue the treatment given your concerns about proceeding. Since most of your package has been rendered, unfortunately it is not eligible for a refund; however, we may gladly convert your unused treatments into a store credit which can be used towards alternative eligible products or services that we offer. 

      This credit does not expire and may be used at any LaserAway location nationwide.
