Laser Clinic : Good or Bad?

If you are weighing up whether to use a particular laser clinic or you are trying to decide between one particular hair removal treatment center and another, you need to know which criteria to use to judge the particular clinic or clinics you are looking at. Here are the good and bad signs I would look for in making my mind up.
Bad Signs for a Laser Hair Removal Clinic
The clinic puts you through a slick selling process without giving you time to consider your optionsThe consultant does not explain exactly what you can expect before, during and after treatment.There is no mention of pain levels or the pain relief options to combat them.They do not explain how your skin and hair color might influence the success of the treatment (Be especially wary if you have dark skin or fair, red or gray hair, and this is not discussed.You are not told the exact cost of laser hair removal sessions or the likely price of a full course of treatment.There is too much emphasis on getting you to sign up for a payment plan if the treatment is not affordable.Cheap laser hair removal advertised by the clinic suddenly becomes expensive when all the extras are included.There is no guarantee offered so that you could end up spending thousands and being no better off.Any signs that the laser clinic is in need of maintenance or that any aspect of hygiene is lacking should make you think twice. Peeling paint may not affect your treatment but it is a sign of sloppiness you are best to avoid.
Good Signs
Of course, you can just look for the opposite of the bad signs, but here are a few more things to look out for.
The clinic uses state of the art laser hair removal equipment and they explain why the particular equipment is best for your skin and hair.You feel at ease with the consultant and not under any pressure to sign up for a course of laser hair treatment. You have all the time you need to make your decision.After you have seen the consultant you are fairly confident you know what you will experience and the type of results you might get (best and worst scenario).You are clear about laser treatment prices and any payment plans offered have a sensible rate of interest.You are happy with the appointment times and the ease of getting to the clinic.You have a good feeling in your gut about the place. Sometimes instinct is the best way to judge, all things being equal.
