I had my neck (front & back) done years ago at Alase in Rockville (now called Reveal Medspa) and they used to do a great job. It was painful because of it being near the facial area. I had my upper arms done later and that wasn't so bad. I had to use numbing creme an hour before and it helped a bit.
Then one day they decided to change their laser to a "pain free" laser. Well....it was pain free alright but it was also result free. IT DIDN'T WORK! Avoid the pain free treatments. They might work after a long run of treatments but that's how they get you by saying that you need 5-10 treatments. Effective laser treatments can be done with only 2-3 visits. Feel free to ask me more about this procedure because I have studied long and hard on it.
The good news for me is that I found a personal "home use" laser gun that works great for me. It cost me about $900 but it's mine for life and I no longer need to make appointments or travel to Rockville. It's called the "Tria laser" and here is their site:

Does anyone know if there are any laser treatment centers in So. Md?
