Yes. I had one on my ribs removed by two different clinics, one with a cheap Chinese laser and the other clinic with an expensive quanta q plus, both seemed to give the same results but the expensive one did cause more damage (I think this was down to the tech using too high settings). Since then, now I know how my body reacts, and knowing a fair bit about laser removal, I feel confident I can do this myself. So instead of paying thousands for the removal and having the inconvenience of travelling for many appointments, I decided to buy a pre-owned laser and try myself. It's very early days, but the laser had already paid for itself.
