Been to both. Clean Slate is terrible went there with my friend and she burned his stomach. He’s asian so alexandrite is not good for his skin type and he had red marks everywhere all over. Plus him and I would go for the same area like our stomach and be charged 2 different prices. I had gone once and asked for stomach pricing and they told me $150 or something or maybe even $200, I forget was 2 years ago but I remember that the place I was going to before then was $100 for that area so whatever price they told me was way more expensive. Anyway a week later my best friend goes for an area and during his treatment asked them how much to do his stomach and she said it’s $50! So he did it. So I emailed them after asking if it was a mistake, because $50 and $150 is a big difference, and they told me I was wrong, that he did his happy trail only not full stomach. So I sent them the picture of his stomach showing that they had, and that not only did he have bad red marks everywhere but there was no overlapping at all. Their response was just that the tech was feeling generous that day. So neither of us ever went back. Before that as well she had also told me that it’s cheaper to do multiple areas at the same session than to spread them out so that that helps with pricing. That really pissed me off because I DID to multiple areas with them, however THEY wanted me to do them all on separate days and not together, so couldn’t believe that.
Evropa is where I’ve done almost all my treatments. Dragica is amazing and very through and also super inexpensive. Can’t recommend them enough. She uses stamps that mark a grid to make sure she covers all the area and if anything is missed she’ll touch it up for free if you go back.
I really don’t think it will take 2.5 hours though it’s pretty fast. I find Apogee Elite is faster than GentleLASE because GentleLASE you fire, lift move over fire, lift move over, fire etc. Apogee you basically glide it over the area while it keeps firing pulses.
