How ironic that this thread comes up on the board now. Now that we've decided to give swinging a break and focus on just the two of us... Sure.

My laser hair removal treatment (third for this area and armpits) was on Tuesday, October 17th, 2006 at 9:30 am. The procedure was so painful I became nauseous. It was intensely more painful than any subsequent treatments. I was in pain all that day and all night. The skin was welted and swollen and felt extremely tender and deeply bruised. The following morning, I went in to the clinic to talk with them about what went wrong - which is what their paperwork said I should do. I thought that their machine had malfunctioned or the technician turned the setting up too high. This is the first time I had ever been treated by this particular technician and some of her procedures were very odd. The office manager I spoke with apologized and said that I should heal within two weeks and that if I didn't to give them a call back. Two weeks? Jesus.

That night I discovered blisters - some of which were already open and weeping. Fearing secondary infection, I went to the doctor the following morning as soon as I could get in. (10:15 am)

The doctor prescribed Lidocaine for pain and topical Silver Sulfadiazine, an antibiotic burn cream. At that time, there were six prominent individual burns that looked like someone had put cigarettes out on my outer labia. However, more blisters continued to develop and that evening Mr. Funcpl counted 17 in all.

On my way back from the docs, I stopped at "the clinic" again. I again spoke with the office manager, actually showed her the burns and told her I wanted my money back. She said she'd need to speak with "whomever" to see what the clinic would do.

The owner of "the clinic", Dani "Somebody", called me the following day and tried to tell me that this is sometimes normal and that it would heal and to come back for the rest of my three appointments. I think NOT. No one in their right mind would purposefully subject themselves to this type of treatment or risk it happening again. I again asked her to refund my money and she said "she just couldn't do that." I let her know that defending herself in court was going to cost a lot more than the $2,699.33 I wanted back.

Nowhere in their paperwork that I signed or anywhere on their advertising or website does it say that second degree burns are a possible side effect. They say this procedure is COMPLETELY SAFE, especially for somebody with my skin type and hair color - very dark hair and light skin (no tan whatsoever.) Somebody screwed up somewhere.

If you live near Portland Oregon and are thinking of this procedure, PM me and I'll let you know who NOT to see.

Yes, I took pictures.
No, you can't see them.
Yes, I have contacted an attorney.
Will keep you posted.

What next? Somewhere the Karma Gods are laughing...that's all that's left to do at this point in our lives! LOL Ah, the irony!
