I few days ago I was on Facebook and on the side of the screen I saw an ad about laser skin treatment about permanently removing hair. The slogan they used was ';Goodbye razor, hello laser!'; So I clicked on it (I felt it was relevant to me) to see what it was all about; I'm interested.
When I got to the website, there was a contest where I could enter my info and have the opportunity to receive a coupon off of a laser treatment. Today, I got on and check my email and I got one from someone by the name of ';Cortney Williams'; telling me that I've won.
This is what the email says:

GOODBYE RAZOR HELLO LASER!';
So, it seems like a great offer, and I'd really like to take it up. However, I'm afraid that this may be just a scam or something I should be watching out for. You know, I don't want to end up as one of those people you see on Oprah crying about what the fake or inexperienced surgeon did to their skin and body.
What do you guys think? Should I do it?Coupons for surgery? ?
yeah yeah you should!!
i know i would.Coupons for surgery? ?
Well It might be a scam. Dont Enter anything you wouldnt want anyone to know. Like your password or your credit card number. I would do it. But im sure it will cost more than you think. The conslutation is free and you should go to it and see if they are Dr ';material'; ask them questions. Like how many people have you done this on. And how were their results. how much of a chance that something terrible could happen to you and your skin.
Thats just what i would do
I think that lasers are great. I've had some work done with them. But, I went to a very reputable place that is near my home. It is owned by a doctor and his wife, so that helps.
This kind of thing is important. Lasers can be dangerous. You also shouldn't be too impressed with the coupon. Maybe it would be wise to call around to a few places to see if they would charge the same amount, without the coupon, for the same service.
Another thing that could happen, is that the other places would give you the same deal by honoring the coupon. I'm betting that it isn't a better deal than any other, but I could be wrong.
Just be sure to check out the place first. The Better Business Bureau might have a record on these places.
double check it and ask clearly about the agreement and condition. how if they agreed to do the surgery and halfway thru, stop! because they want you to pay at least half? think bout your family, your kid.
just kidding! it seems like an unbelievable offer you have right there, sounds too good to be true, but again, make sure its real!
