worst session & laser tech i have ever had

by marteen at Citysearch

very unprofessional, even for a "spa", much less a laser/med facility.

I went for laser hair removal & was rushed through the appointment due to another client was running late and he had to get to a 3:30p football game!

Unethical behavior: I was quoted a price without them even looking at the hair to see if i was a good candidate for laser. I found out later from a dermatologist that gray hair could not even be removed with a laser. Also, they must have "magic" lasers too, i was told it would only take 3 sessions to remove the follicles from various body areas, when everyone else in the business quotes 5 or 6 treatments minimum to clear an area.

They seem to want your money, but without regard for your health or what you really need to solve your skin problems.

• Pros: Clean
• Cons: Generally unfriendly, even from the front counter staff

True skin care experts

I was looking for some Jane Iredale mineral makeup to cover my break outs. I walked into Institut?Dermed in Buckhead and was greeted by a friendly skin care technician (Evelyne) who found the perfect foundation match for my skin. She offered to customize a skin care program for me, to solve my break out problem. I scheduled a free consultation and a facial. Wow! I never relax and I felled asleep during the facial. It felt AMAZING. I?ve been using Dermed?s products for 1 month now and I love them! Guess what? No more break outs. Evelyne is a true skin care expert and a gem.

• Pros: Caring, knowledgable & skillful technician. Great products!
• Cons: Some waiting some times.

Best in it's class

Institut' Dermed Buckhead is located near the Landmark diner on Roswell Road. The staff is very professional and helpful. The Estheticians and Massage Therapist are very knowledgeable and skilled. At Institiut Dermed you can expect results from the services and products. The products are a blend of botanical and pharmaceutical grade ingredients that you will not find at your average spa.

You can get a complete and comprehensive skin analysis to include using a skin scope. All of the services are customized to meet your individual needs. I highly recommend going hear for phenomenal service. They are having a great promotion this month. $45 gets you a 45 min. facial.

• Pros: Products, services and knowledgable staff
• Cons: My appointment ran over a bit, but not by much
