In my clinic I see many clients who are receiving 3 types of laser treatments in 3 different clinics.I find this outrageous,I have sent an email to OFT with my concerns and I have also spoken Watchdog-nobody seems interested.I see many fungus infections from pedicures,I see very strange skin conditions in my opinion due to clinic items not been sterilised.Many of the companies are not even registered with their local council.They use this “cut throat” tecnique which is putting honest businesses out of business-and we wonder what`s happening to the high stree?Groupon is happening!Hey but what do I know?
