I would call several of the plastic surgeons in your area, ask to speak to the office manager. Ask their opinion of what laser company products they prefer. At least you will be getting an educated opinion from a MD office.

I realize I can source out users of the product. My question was not WHO could I ask about the units. My question was which unit should I purchase. I was hoping that the person who answered my question had experience with the units and could provide direction in, perhaps, which manufacturers I should avoid or units that where very effective.

The plastic surgeon I have worked for uses these.

My question is are you looking to purchase one for a salon or spa setting or for a physician office. You didn't specify and this makes a difference.

Most physicians in the San Jose - Oakland - San Francico area use these.

It is a laser for HAIR REMOVAL. The same units are sold for salons or clinics. Can you assist me with knowledge pertaining to which manufacturers should I avoid. Which manufacturers provide the best training and purchaser satisfaction, which units have been providing good results, etc...?

Reply to Deborah's Post: Thank you for your time Deborah, but I will not be continueing any more dialogue with you as the manufacturer name you provided is just one on my list of 15. I do not need the name of a manufacturer. What I require is someone who uses the units and can provide me info as to why they chose that unit and would they have chosen another now that they have more knowledge and experience. Since you are providing me 3rd party info you are not the one to assist me.
