**“The Affirm laser sounded too good to be true. How could one treatment get rid of the wrinkles around my mouth and sun damage - and also tighten up everything at the same time? I was amazed when I saw the results! My boyfriend says I look great, but he has no idea why.”
Carolyn, from Woodway.
** Ive always had lots of hair, which became time-consuming. Now that Ive had my underarms and bikini treated by Dr. Upton and Denice Schwind, for the first time I am not afraid to wear a bathing suit in public.
Sherry D., from Kirkland.
** Ive had my veins treated by Dr. Upton and I also had the Titan Procedure. I am really happy with my face now that the spider veins are gone and my face looks younger from the Titan. Dr. Upton was wonderful to talk with and she gave me lots of time and special attention.
Joan L., from Richmond Beach.
** As I hit my forties, my lips diminished in size. I had Restylane at LaserMD and I love the restored volume in my lips. I was grateful that I wasnt rushed into a procedure, but received the time needed to determine the right treatment for me.
Penny G., from Seattle.
** I have had laser vein treatment before from one of Seattles Best Doctors listed in Seattle Magazine, but I found the treatment at LaserMD to be better. It was effective and also comfortable because the laser had a cooling mechanism. I will always go to LaserMD for my veins.
Sarah M., from Edmonds.
**“The results I got from one Affirm treatment at LaserMD were better than all of the results I had from 3 Fraxel treatments (from another doctor) for burn scars on my hips and legs. I am so pleased with LaserMD's Affirm treatment!”
Jennifer L., from Mukileo.
