Posted 27 Sep 2011

The proceedure was done by a person not in the medical field.I had 2nd degree burns on my chest and arms after only one time.I was not only scared, I got a blood infection from the burns. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital not knowing if I was going to live.The infection got into my spine and "ate up my L4 and L5 vertabrae.I was told I may never walk again if I did live.All this because of a laser treatment.I spent 6mos on antibiotics with a pic line in my arm.Would I do it again? NO"

Hi irish, 

Oh my, that is horrible. Your story for sure solidifies how important it is to get any procedure done by a medical professional who is trained in what they are doing. I'm so sorry you went through all that, but very much appreciate you sharing your story. 

Thanks so much, and I'm so glad everything turned out good in the end.

I agree" I believed when I went to this medical spa it was supose to be done a DR. I suffer to this day with the after effects of that infection.My back will never be the same nor will my life.But I can tell you it didn't stop me from getting further skin care,including other laser treatments.But" I know who is doing it now and there training and title. I noticed another burn victum on this site that looks alot like mine did.I just recommend everyone "check out who is working the laser before going into a proceedure.
