Energy-based treatments such as laser have come a long way and now produce dramatic and visible results that more people are opting for in the place of harsh fillers or surgery. With energy-based treatments becoming easier to find, it is important to know the risks involved with receiving low-quality laser treatments. Stories of results varying from ineffective to scarring the skin are on the rise, and you should be careful when trusting a treatment provider with your skin.
Here are a few questions you should be able to answer before booking your laser treatment:
1. Expertise: Is the laser service being performed by a qualified laser technician?
Find out more about the service provider. How long have they been practicing in their field? Have they trained with a recognized, accredited laser education provider?

4. Education & Pricing: Is your laser technician providing you with all the information you need about the treatment?
Laser treatments usually require a few follow-ups for the best results. Has this been properly explained to you and is package pricing available?
The Total Wrapture difference: Every laser treatment begins with a thorough skin consultation with an experienced technician to ensure you are getting the best treatment for your unique skin. We will ensure to give you realistic and well-informed information about the results and timeline of your treatment to achieve your goals. In addition, you will be presented with package pricing and preferred pricing options to ensure you make educated choices and are financially in control of your wellness journey to even better skin.
Our laser technician, Amy, puts it best:
“Skin education is important to us. We want to empower you to have sustainably healthy skin by helping you learn more about it.” She continues, “I never want to sell you on treatments, but my goal is to help you understand all your options better.” The consultation is free, but the care and wealth of information you will receive about your unique skin is invaluable.
