Therapie (Cork)

Silas45

Does anyone have any experience of the therapie salons, in particular the new Cork one?

At the moment they have 80% off Laser Hair Removal.

I've heard that they're not the friendliest..............but currently I am getting IPL treatments at a much higher price. I really like the place I go to at the moment though as its very friendly and discrete.

I'm wondering is it worth switching to therapie?

Do a thread search, good and bad stories. The discount's a gimmick, it's the normal price.

Hi i have been going to therapie for a few weeks now in cork and all the staff i have been with are really nice, i have had no problems and was made feel very comfortable. I payed for 12 sessions with turned out at nearly €600 euro which i think is excellent, the laser they use in therapie is not IPL it is a different type of laser it is stronger than IPL it is usually only used by doctors but these therapists are trained to use it too. My sister has been getting laser for years and has paid thousands and i think it has only come to 10 sessions so i don't think it is a gimmick. I hope this helps you

I had a very bad experience at Therapie. Paid upfront for my laser treatments which didn't work at all. The manager acknowledged that they had no effect but refused to refund my money. They did offer additional sessions but considering the first six didn't have the slightest effect this was not very helpful.

I had the EXACT same experience in therape in Cork. 6 sessions, not ONE TINY bit of a difference.
Was told at the start that the girl that did my patch test, would be the same girl each time - but i never saw her again, so i had to explain each time what areas I needed done. Each girl promised they would give it a "good going over" and that i will definately see a difference..but I never did.
At the end of the 6 weeks, they pushed me into booking more sessions, so i did, but cancelled by phone the next day.

Also have had the same experience in Therapie in Cork, sessions not working after 8 of them now. Must be the laser they are working, Soprano isn't considered very good in the laser world

Silly- I would advise you to let the hair grow out to show the sessions you paid for haven't worked. Go in and show them (manager) that way they will have to give you more sessions free of charge. That's what I did eventually

I really dont want to go back there again.
Thanks for advice though.

I know, I'm the same kinda sick of the place too, been going there over 18 months at this stage and its seems all pain and no gain. Spent a grand though so have to justify it

Hi all,

Go back and get your money from them. That's what I have done and I got treatment in 2011 and just followed up now. I braved laser in advanced laser light after the memory of the burning had faded and I have instant results and no pain from their laser.
I called therapie and went straight in. I only got a small area on bikini done with advanced laser light and I had Hollywood with therapie so they were able to see the difference. Full growth and none after one session. Therapie say they have no record of me paying for all my extra sessions and I think I paid cash so have no record myself but they are refunding my initial payment for 6 sessions. Weirdest thing is my patch test with therapie never grew back any hair.

I ended up getting six extra free sessions from therapie in the end.It worked a bit but hair has begun to grow again. I've given up on getting laser in Cork, therapie only uses the crap soprano laser and everywhere else is IPL. I went to a place in Dublin doing candela gentle lase at a great price can pay per treatment too and found it great so will go there in future for top-ups.
