    SEV LASER Horrible Experience - Burned Skin & No Accountability

    SEV LASER Horrible Experience - Burned Skin & No Accountability I have been getting full-body laser hair removal since 2017 at several clinics across the country and never had a problem. I signed up for a package at SEV Laser San Francisco and after just my second or third session (on September 14), I had the worst experience I've ever had. Immediately after the treatment, I noticed bumps all over my face and body. The technician brushed it off as "normal" and said it would vanish in a couple of days. Instead, things got far worse. I developed hives, bruises from the laser, and darkened patches of skin--even in private areas. My dermatologist reviewed the photos and said the treatment was done with poor precision or disruptive settings. The nurse who treated me even told me she was using a higher setting this time compared to my last session. Yet, when I contacted management with photos, Lauren flatly denied this in her email and claimed the settings "were not higher than last time." That made it clear she hadn't even looked into my case or reviewed what actually happened. Since then, I've been on steroids, had IV infusions, and have been bedridden for over a week. This has affected my ability to work and cost me hundreds of dollars in medical care just to recover. Lauren's responses were extremely dismissive--blaming me by suggesting things like "dry shaving" and downplaying my injuries as "normal." After I explained that I've been doing laser since 2017, corrected her assumptions, and sent more photos, she simply stopped replying. This clinic is careless and takes no accountability for the harm they cause customers. Their management minimizes serious burns and skin damage and treats it as if it's no big deal. I trusted SEV Laser with my skin, and they failed me in the worst way. I strongly warn others to think twice before choosing SEV Laser. What happened to me should not happen to anyone

After researching a few different…read moremedispas, I chose City Laser because of the combination of RN staff as well as pricing (middle of the range). A package of 3 sessions cost $1350 - each session would normally be priced at $500, so $10% off with the package. As a previous reviewer wrote and what prompted me to add my own review, the whole session was haphazard. I am a microneedling veteran for over 5 years, and have been home-needling + one session at a dermatologist to address some old atrophic acne scars. I thought continuing professional treatments would be the key to seeing more improvements. Wild occurrences with Rena the owner include: being asked to put on my own numbing cream with no real instructions even after asking specific questions, no verbal explanation of what was being done or when we were starting, microneedling over my neck which I specifically said was NOT a focus area and thus did not put numbering cream on (ouch!), a total of less than 5 min of microneedling without changing depths over more severe scarring areas, and forgetting every time that I did not want blood drawn for PRP. Most of the appointment, which never lasted more than 30 min total including numbing cream self application and waiting for it to kick in, was Rena bragging about her kid and other clients who supposedly come to her exclusively (including calling out specifically trans and minorities like this was a collector's display case). I was seriously flabbergasted at what I was experiencing and wanted to finish my 3 sessions ASAP. Have seen no visible improvement after 2 years. Some of the mask and facial cream freebies were nice, but unfortunately not worth $1350! Highly recommend shelling out a bit more to go to a licensed dermatologist.

The last straw for me today was when I called to confirm my upcoming appointment and they told me I had run out of sessions for certain parts of my body. That didn't seem right, so I went into my doc where I keep a record of all treatments, and sure enough, I still had one left. When I asked them to triple check, THEY FOUND THE SAME.

    I've been a client of SF Aesthetics several times over the years, and until recently I had positive…read moreexperiences. That's why my most recent visit was such a shock and disappointment. I paid $1000 for Dysport with one very clear request: I wanted a fully frozen forehead, the same result I have consistently achieved here in the past. At two weeks (the full window for Dysport to set in), I still had significant movement and visible lines. For anyone familiar with injectables, this outcome is far below what's reasonable at this price point, especially when the goal was explicitly communicated in advance. When I reached out to the clinic about the poor result, I expected professionalism, accountability, and a willingness to make it right. Instead, I was told that if I wanted the issue corrected, I would have to pay for more units. That is simply not industry standard. Reputable injectors stand behind their work and typically offer a complimentary touch-up if results fall short of what was promised. Whether this was poor injecting or a bad vial should not then be the patients problem to pay. What made this worse is that I know that if the vial is reported to the manufacturer, the company would happily provide them with a complimentary replacement vial. In other words, the clinic had the ability to resolve this at no cost to themselves. Rather than taking that step, they placed the burden back on me after I had already spent $1000. It's deeply disappointing to see a practice prioritize profit over integrity and client satisfaction. I left feeling dismissed and taken advantage of. For something as personal and expensive as facial injectables, trust and accountability are everything. Your face and your money deserve better than this.

According to what I read…read moreonline and was told in store, I am an ideal skin/hair type (light skin, dark coarse hair) but have noticed minimal change after 10 treatments and what was supposed to achieve a 95% decrease in facial hair growth. The sensation each treatment varied widely depending on the technician. One month it was what I expected - a sharp sensation like getting snapped with a rubber band. The next I barely felt it. I asked why, and if they had decreased the settings, but was told that as my follicles are weakened I will feel it less so this is an indication that the treatment is working. Cool, makes sense. It goes on like this for a while, but towards the end of the year I have another technician and that sharp sensation is back, much more like what I had experienced before. Was the bit about getting used to it BS? The fact that there's been no meaningful change in my hair growth would suggest that either the treatment was improperly administered, or otherwise unsuccessful. Either way, it is BY FAR the worst $2500 I've ever spent and I caution anyone considering laser to be very wary. Don't believe the 5 star reviews that are given as a result of bribes for deals - I am sure laser actually works for some people and there are real happy customers, but based on my experience discussing with others the success ratio is far lower than reviews or marketing suggests.

The recent nurse I saw, Callan, was very professional and nice given my frustrations. The bad - They're constantly changing the clinician you request without any communication. This was the third time this has happened. Despite the notes they have in your profile, they don't care. I was booked with Evelin and suddenly changed to Callan (who was great BTW) but there was zero communication about this when I checked in or even prior to me coming in. I even asked the front desk how long it would take because it was already running 30 mins past my appt slot and still no notice of a different clinician. When I voiced my concerns with the front desk, I received immediate attitude from both of them especially the shorter (maybe Indian or Middle Eastern) front desk girl. She had the nerve to argue with me saying I never had an appt with Evelin when indeed I did. It wasn't for Botox but for fillers a while ago. Regardless, if I'm comfortable with a certain nurse, you don't need to question or argue with me on what services I had done. There was no apology. Just straight up defensive attitude. It's no wonder there's such a high turnover of nurses at Laseraway. They seem to cater to those who have Laser appts or of a certain Marina look (mainly white ladies). I will spend the extra money elsewhere and save myself the headache and rude customer service.

I still have more I want to do (BBL and Sculptra next!), and I trust her completely. Her own skin is glowing which is the best proof she knows exactly what she's doing. I can't recommend Maria enough. Thank you Maria, for all of your help!
