Hello,
I've been a long-time customer at American Laser Center. The package they suggest is 6 treatments for the price of
5. Then you have a 2 year window to come in for additional treatments as needed. The time between treatments
varies by body part . For the face they schedule treatments 6-8 weeks apart. Every 6 weeks for 2 years is 17.3
treatments.
I have been happy with all my treatments at American Laser. If you look on the web you will find some dissatisfied
customers... either they felt pressured into packages or were oversold on what a treatment can accomplish. Like any
large chain I am sure some offices are better than others. I don't think they are a franchise, but I am not sure.
A couple things to think about to get the best price. They frequently offer buy one area get a second area half price.
Face and neck are two "areas". So it would be a good thing to ask when they will offer that promotion when doing a consult. Another thing that I recently learned, from the manager of the local American Laser, is how much each clinic is under pressure to meet there sales projection at the end of the month. I would recommend scheduling a consult towards the last part of the
month rather than the first. When you go in for a consult they will give you a quote good for 5 days or so. I have had them
call me back and offer an additional discount if I signed that day, which happened to be last business day of the month. The local manager has quite a bit of room to mark down their packages.
Of course price doesn't mean a thing if you don't get a good feeling about the technicians who will be doing the treatments.
YMMV.
Elaina
