FYI to the group. An established cosmetic center specializing in LHR for the N. Texas area shut down last week without notice and is no longer responding to inquiries from the press and their customers:

An undated press release on the business:

Unfortunately, if the economy doesn’t change soon, I think we’ll be seeing more and more of this. Laser payments are steep, and so many practices buy too many, too fast.
Be very careful making prepayments. Many states have laws that these businesses are either unaware exist, or choose to ignore. If you sell packages or gift certificates, this money should (or must in some states) be held in an escrow account, FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE CONSUMER. Ask the business how YOUR money is being protected.
Funny thing about those gift certificate and package accounts, if the business goes under, the money goes to the government. The customer is not much more likely to be able to get a refund.
The United States government is corrupt and most people haven’t realized what’s ahead for them with money being printed 24/7. Does anyone understsand what it means to spend trillions of dollars? That’s the amount that has been added to the already high debt in the last six months alone! Wait until high inflation and high interest rates hit. That will hurt more than the roughest laser treatment could possibly hurt. Trust me, there will be many more laser businesses closing their doors even if they were sturdy, reputable businesses clicking along nicely, thanks to big government interfering with our liberties. Brace yourselves. I need an antidepressant.
It’s easy in NC. You can do it online. Probably the same for many other states.
