Skin Care Provider Review: American Laser Center

submitted by jones, phoenix, AZ, usa

Provider Facility
American Laser Center

Treatment
Multiple treatm.

Address / Location:
Thunderbird Ave
Phoenix, AZ , United States

Rating
No effect

Benefits
non-invasive and no down time for those who are not ready for a facelift

Drawbacks
no visible results as of yet, expensive for what you get, multiple visits required.

Details
Purchased a package consisting of three facets: skin tightening (Refirme, foto facial, micro-dermabrasion.

Each facet requires five trips over the course of approx. five months. So you're going to be going there fifteen times.

Micro-derm is kinda fun...like mild sand papering. You come out with a slight glow, but it's gone in a few hours and I don't see any dramatic lasting effect.

The skin tightening feels pinchy, and your facial nerves jump like a madman. Interesting sensation. They say it stimulates collagen, and it is supposed to tighten your skin and make you look a little younger. They also say that if you don't see results that it can take a couple of months for your skin to react. I'm starting to fear that this is a load of bulls#@t.

Foto facial is also kinda pichy...a side effect is that it can remove hair. That part works. But as far as smoothing out age spots and blemishes, I can't say I see much of an improvement.

I can't say the whole thing is really showing results. If I squint and think happy thought and have a really good night's sleep, perhaps there is a subtle difference.

I keep hoping the results will catch up (like they say) and one day I'll wake up looking a little younger. But so far, it was just not worth it.

Conclusions
If there are results, at this point they are really just too subtle to see.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$3000
