My sister is friends with a doctor who used to perform laser resurfacing in Annapolis. (His wife convinced him to move back to her home state.)
I'm not sure if the doctor was trying to drum up business when he told me the following things, but they may be good questions to keep in mind as you shop around for a place:
Does the business own the laser machine or lease it?
The implication is that if the business owns the machine, they will probably make more of an effort to maintain it and keep it in good working condition.
Sometimes when a machine is leased, it is shared between several different businesses. Shared as in swapped out or moved around a lot. That's a lot of wear and tear.
How often is the laser machine serviced by a professional and when was the last time that it was serviced?
You don't want to be the first person to receive a treatment after the machine has been serviced.
My sister's neighbor was stung by this: She got a free treatment - but the laser beam was slightly "off", parts of her face received an intense sweep of the laser and those areas burned for days afterward.
Once the burn wore off, the lady's face looked only a teeny bit smoother, so they injected botox to make her face look smooth, so she would go away happy. Ewww...
I've never met you, I have no idea what you look like, but I think that you look fine just the way you are.
(I wanted to see what these looked like together)
Thanks for the first laugh of the day!
