“Nightmare photofacial - wanted to treat myself and address light skin discolorations”
Photofacial: NOT worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
I am a Hispanic lady in early 40’s. On whim I decided to use a gift certificate to salon that was given to me as a Mother’s day present. I wanted to pamper myself with the works, a facial, massage, and new hair cut.
During my regular facial I was asked if I wanted younger new skin, remove unwanted hair, and address light skin discolorations. This was the first I had heard of a photo facial. I decided to treat myself to something that would kick of me starting a new life. I had just lost 100 pounds without surgery.
In ignorance I thought of a still photo not light. Even at the time of signing the consent form, I questioned what I was doing that involved signing a waiver. I should have listened to my gut feeling, but had no idea that my life would be transformed from that day on… to a living hell.
