I found that the Aesthetic Laser Center was very helpful with all of my personal issues. Not only were they friendly and accommodating, but they really knew what they were talking about. I had a very good experience with them and would recommend their service to anyone.

I made an appointment for a skin consultation on laser hair removal a few weeks ago, but not without doing considerable research on laser hair removal first. The waiting room is populated by Botox chubbies (chubby middle-aged women wearing purple ""Botox"" t-shirts decorated with rhinestones) and one extremely fake-looking blonde with orange skin in the waiting room. My consult, Kay (or Gay), made a sales pitch that IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is the latest in hair removal technology and suitable for most skin types. I went home after the consult to do a bit of research--studies in reputable journals show that because IPL is not a laser, it is underpowered compared to laser for the purpose of hair removal, and IPL is dangerous for darker skin types (like mine), and promoted mostly as a sales tactic. The website of this spa says they do offer a laser machine for hair removal, with a wavelength that is suitable for my skin type. I went back to the spa and requested they use a laser instead of the IPL on me because I had done laser before with favorable results. \r\rThis time, its a different consult (a fake-looking Botox skinny with claw-like hands) who sat me down in the room and tried to convince me to use the IPL despite my clear request on the phone for laser. Her: ""I don't even bother with the laser machine, because IPL works so well, even on skin type like yours, I know what is best for you."" This I took to imply that she is unfamiliar with the laser machine and hence unqualified to operate it. I decided to leave. As I stood up, she clutched the clipboard, and hissed with infantile indignation after me: ""GOOD! Because we don't want to treat you anyway!"" Do I really want someone who doesn't know what she is talking about (she doesn't even know what a 1064mm ND-YAG is, which is a specific type of laser) and rude to a customer zapping away at my most delicate areas? No. I don't know how they do on other services, but I don't recommend taking your unwanted hair t
