I am a client of this clinic since 2008, at their Yonge & Eglinton location. I went there for laser hair removal and was told that I am perfect for this treatment (light skin, dark hair). After so many years of treatments and visits at the clinic I can tell for sure that all they want is to sell you overpriced treatments, as another reviewer already mentioned. And I have great doubts about the knowledge of their specialists (the only thing that those specialists know is their perfectly memorized speech).
Results: I did have some hair reduction on my lower legs and bikini area (even though I am seeing more and more hair growing back), however I ended with long darker hair on my upper legs and horrible hair on my arms and upper lip. Previously I never shaved or waxed my upper lip area or my upper arms (it was fine, baby hair) now I am paying for electrolysis to get rid of the hair that laser treatment caused. Before I started the treatments I specifically asked them about my upper lip and my upper arms because of the very fine hair that I used to have and was encouraged to treat those areas. And, as a naïve, I believed them.
I paid thousands of dollars and ended up with horrible dark hair instead of seeing a reduction on my hair - I want my old hair back; I want these areas to be fixed.
From the beginning they tried to blame it on me - I had tests done by my doctor but nothing is wrong with my hormones. They sent me to their dermatologist at Yorkville location (who actually is not a dermatologist, but he is one of Bellair's owners, which was not mentioned to me though, when I was referred to him by the clinic), and of course it was a very strange consultation and a waste of time for me; he said something such "well, you have hair on your head!" (are you kidding me?? of course I have hair on my head, was I supposed to be bold or what?) and he practically said that I am stuck!, he wrote on a piece of paper some hormonal tests that I should do, without signing the paper (so unprofessional!!!!)
Back to Eglinton location, immediately after the meeting with their "dermatologist" they said they will give me some "free" treatments (that meaning I have to pay for legs treatments worth of $1000 and they will treat the upper part of my arms, the small area from elbow down for "free") and if I accept the offer I have to make the decision in that very moment - practically I was not giving the chance to think about it. Again the only thing they wanted was my money, I felt so uncomfortable - after being their client for so many years they were just pushing me to buy more treatments instead of trying to find a solution that would work for me (usually I go there, I tell them about my issue and the only thing that those girls do is to look into the computer to book me more treatments (which mean more money from my pocket), without even looking at me (to assess what my problem is would be too much for them!)
And to emphasize what I described above, recently I told them that I have a few sun spots from last summer on my chicks (light brown). I was told that I need one, maximum two, laser treatments - they made me buy a package of three, of course. Now, I am after the second treatment and, not surprisingly, I don't have any improvement, nothing - those light brown spots are exactly as before the treatments. I am pretty sure that after my third treatment they will say that I need more, just to get more money from me. In the beginning the "specialist" said that it's perfect that the sun spots are not too dark; when I mentioned that I don't see any results, another "specialist" said is because the spots are not too dark. Their attitude is unacceptable.
I regret the day when I walked into this clinic and profoundly regret that I trusted them and believed that they are specialists and professionals because they are not. Yes, they are nice in the beginning and they leave you a nice impression but once you get to know them you will see how superficial they are. The next step I will take is to make a complaint to consumer protection - more people should be aware of this. read more
