Mimi's Laser Alternatives began operating in Harahan in March 2013 under owner Mimi Fallo, a laser technician whose practice centers on non-laser hair removal. The salon states that it introduced Photo Therapy Flash to Louisiana and that it was the first in the state to provide Cocoon infrared treatments paired with red light therapy. It holds Better Business Bureau accreditation and is a member of POWER with Fidelity, the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, and the Crescent City Trade Exchange.
Photo Therapy Flash is the salon's main hair reduction treatment, a non-laser option for the face, bikini line, legs, arms, underarms, chest and back. It suits women and men of all skin types, and each session takes only a few minutes. Treatments are sold in three-treatment packages, at $125 for small areas and $200 for medium areas. Touch-ups are $35 for a small area and $65 for a medium area, and are available only after the package is complete. Small-area sessions cover places like the upper lip, chin, brows, underarms, hands and feet, while medium-area sessions cover larger zones such as half legs, half arms, the beard and the lower back.
The facial menu runs from a Vitamin C facial at $45 and a chemical peel with a 14% Jessner option at $55, to microdermabrasion and LED-based Photo Therapy Flash facials at $60 each, and a plant stem cell facial with dermaplaning at $65. HydraFacial is offered as a basic treatment at $175, a Platinum version at $250 that includes boosters, LED, lymphatic drainage and a lip and eye perk, and a Deluxe version where a booster or lip and eye perk adds $25. Three Deluxe treatments cost $570. Secret RF microneedling for the face and neck is $300 per treatment, pairing microneedling with radiofrequency energy. A free consultation comes first, and sessions usually run under an hour, with several sessions a few weeks apart often recommended.
The Cocoon Wellness Pod session is $30 and uses near, mid and far-infrared lighting, with temperature adjustable up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The session includes full body vibrational massage. The salon makes its own claims for the pod, describing it as a way to ease stiff joints and muscles and to lose weight and detoxify. Bookings are by appointment only: Monday 9 am to 4 pm, Tuesday 9 am to 6 pm, Wednesday 9 am to 3 pm, Friday 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm. The salon is closed on Thursdays. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice. A $20 fee applies to no-shows and same-day cancellations, and rescheduling waits until any fee is paid. If a client books three package appointments and misses the first two, the third is cancelled.
Non-laser hair reduction and skin care, delivered in short sessions with a medical director on the team.
