Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Damaged by Dot CO2 Laser treatment

I had one Deka dot CO2 laser treatment at Avalon Laser Carlsbad Ca. I paid $1600 for 2 areas- face and neck. I specified to Lauren the technician my skin was older, sun damaged and thin so to please set the laser to those conditions. She said I would not be damaged. I was. I was left with white hypo pigmented scar (yes scars) along my jawline and below my cheeks. My neck was permanently burned with etched horizontal lines not there before. It was a big mistake I can not reverse. I tried to work with the owner (an ER doctor not a board certified dermatologist nor plastic surgeon) but he denied any responsibility.
