It's a shame that laser is so pricey for most people and that it hurts so bad (as I've been told). It can do such great things and make coverups so much nicer looking in the end.
A few hours from my studio is another shop that does laser, at close to half of what dermatologist's in the area charge. I've sent a number of clients to them and gotten really good results. Since black is the easiest to get out, just one or two sessions with a laser and what you're left to work with can be a whole new ballgame. That said, it's frustrating that I'm not able to convince more clients to take that route.
