I’m not saying that all manufacturers and suppliers are guilty of this. But some clearly are...
Another reason is that the manufacturer/supplier just doesn’t understand the thermodynamic processes which can occur when high energy light is applied to the skin. This is not surprising – I’ve been studying this for over 30 years and I’m still trying to figure it out. And I’m a physicist!
Conclusion
My experience and discussions with many users inform me that many manufacturers’ settings are simply not sufficient to achieve good, consistent clinical results.
Unfortunately, many insurance companies are either complicit in this, or just ignorant.
The only solution is to raise the standard out there - improve the training so that users obtain good results, consistently. Most of the devices I’ve checked (with my meters) are perfectly capable of delivering good results - but only if used correctly.
I am contacting UK-based insurance companies to try to talk sense into them. There’s no point offering insurance to equipment owners, if those owners cannot grow a decent business. Likewise, the manufacturers/suppliers also need to up their game and offer proper training too.
If you’re a laser/IPL user and you struggle to obtain good results, ask your supplier/trainer why. If they don’t offer a good answer, which resolves your problems, take it further. The ‘Sale of Goods Act’ is a good place to start.
Then, discuss it with your insurance company and tell them about my thoughts above.
If any manufacturer, supplier or insurance company would like to disagree with me, please let me know. I’ll happily discuss this situation with you...
