A few months before my wedding, I made the biggest mistake walking into the American Laser office in Houston, Tx.

I had been previously turned away twice for laser treatment at dermatology centers due to the dark color of my skin. I had been told my skin type did not qualify for treatment. BUT American Laser promised me that this was not true because of their state of the art laser equipment.

They showed me pictures of clients like myself and told me I would be very satisfied with the results. I signed the contract and noticed the "no treatment is guaranteed". The office "manager" explained that it was routine just as no medical surgery is ever guaranteed. Made sense to me. I received two treatments out of 5 with absolutely no results. I expressed my concerns but they reassured me that it was just the beginning. After the fourth unsuccessful treatment, I spoke to the "office manager" again and realized I had been scammed. I seeked a dermatologist who was alarmed that anyone would do laser and on my face. Once again, I was told my skin type (color) did not qualify for this treatment. The dermatologist explained to me that I was lucky my skin was not damaged.

I contacted the Medchoice, and filed a complaint. They investigated and came back with a copy of the contract i signed "no result is guaranteed". Just like that. I have great credit, I never skip out on my financial responsibilities, but this is one I refuse to pay. I realize that I should have done my research but after speaking to so many people in this industry, I refuse to be a victim and pay for a scam. These people need to be out of business!
