Harmed by laser? - 6th June 2008

Last month, the government published plans to deregulate cosmetic laser procedures, such as laser hair removal and treatments for skin conditions. Consumer organisation Which? are planning to respond to the government's plans and want to use people's experiences to make sure that the government has fully considered any future problems if this industry is not monitored by a government body.

You can share your opinion on the Verity discussion board, and if you have been harmed by laser treatment in the past, then keep reading...

There is also an e-petition that those who are opposed to the redegulation of cosmetic laser treatment can sign on the 10 Downing St website.

Can you help?
Have you had a laser treatment? Did you have any problems? Which? wants to hear from you.

Have you? Do you know anyone who has? If so, please leave your story at http://www.which.co.uk/cosmetic or confidentially email Jenny.Driscoll@which.co.uk
