I started growing unwanted facial hair in late...

I started growing unwanted facial hair in late adolescence. The issues got worse when I reached mid-twenties. The dark spots, which was as a result of thick hair growth, could be seen (even with expensive concealer!). I knew that something had to be done because this issue was ruining my life, especially as a 30-year-old African-American female that has to interact with people on a continuous basis. I would get strange stares from people frequently because of the facial hair and terrible scarring.

My laser hair removal journey originally started in 2008, while at American Laser Center (has since been closed due to various complaints). The results at this specific facility was less than desirable. In fact, the laser used to treat my skin made my face burn to the point that I needed to take time away from work and school to recover. I later learned the laser used was not compatible for African American skin tones, which resulted in major skin burns and discoloration.

So, why trust another treatment center? I was very apprehensive about starting over because of the aforementioned experience. However, I decided that I should do further research and venture out of my small town. This was when I found The Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa located at 1 Reservoir Circle in Baltimore, MD, back in February of 2015. Drs. Dean and Lauri Kane have greatly impacted my life. Their staff are honest, very professional, and caring people. I have never felt so comfortable receiving laser treatment prior to visiting this wonderful medical practice. After my first phone conversation with someone from the medical team, I knew this was the place for me. Not only does The Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa specialize in laser hair removal, they have the best lasers to treat African-American skin tones. I could not have been more pleased with the treatment received.

Mary Lu, who is one of the best surgical nurses in my opinion, worked with me to perform the laser treatments, which was a 5-treatment package deal (the best in the Baltimore/Washington DC area!). Mary Lu is very skilled at her craft; she not only shows compassion for patients, but works hard to ensure precision in each session. After my visit with Mary Lu, she referred me to Felisha, who is the center's Esthetician. Felisha is an amazing person, who has great knowledge of the best products for damaged skin. Because my skin was so badly damaged, I was advised to try a series of products geared toward repairing the issue. So far, I can say that I had no adverse reactions to the products, which I am using concurrently with the laser treatments. I have seen less and less hair growth since finding this gem of a practice in February 2015. My complexion is becoming much clearer than ever. I am overjoyed as I sit to type this review because of the outstanding experience.

I want to thank Drs. Dean and Lauri for building such a great team of professionals to assist patients with top-notch service. I recommend The Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa, to anyone wanting to improve the quality of their life through laser hair removal. I am a loyal patient! I no longer run from mirrors, but to them, to look at the great work I had done at this wonderful practice.

Please give them a try! :)

Warmly,

Cameil
