“Microdermabrasian Not For Me - Pasadena, CA”

Not Worth It
Spent: $150 in Pasadena, CA

Posted 26 Aug 2011
One day when I was online, I saw an ad for American Laser Center and entered to win free laser hair removal. Later they called, and apparently I won but I would have to pay a little extra because whatever I won wouldn't cover the entire treatments needed. I went down to the place, and then they changed their story and said I would have to pay more than what was quoted on the phone. The girl acted surprised and wanted to know who was giving me misinformation on the phone. Of course, it is all a scam to get you to go into the office.
Anyway, I decided to get microdermabrasion instead of laser hair removal. I was hoping it would even out my skintone. I did not look good after the treatment. My skin was all red and ugly. However, the girl said I looked "glowing". I didn't go back for the rest of my treatments.

American Laser Center just wants to scam people for their money.
Hi Violett,
I would guess based on how they treated you before, you not continuing to go was probably a good idea. The plus is no "major" harm came out of the experience and you didn't loose a lot of money. Hopefully, the experience didn't scar you from the procedure altogether. Please keep us updated.
Thanks you!
