"Smooth skin for pennies" and "Latest 3D technologies" — familiar promises? We investigate why fraud is often hidden behind them, and there is no effect from the treatment for years.
The answer is in the equipment. Often salons save money by buying cheap analogues, illegal devices or home gadgets, presenting them as premium class.
We at Citiwell work on the certified diode laser K-21 and advocate for transparent services. We have collected all methods of fraud in one list, so you can save your money and health.

Alexandrite vs Diode. Alexandrite — it is pain ("rubber band snap") and strict ban on sunbathing. Diode — it is safety for tanned skin and complete comfort.

🚩 Calling you every 2 weeks? That's an alarm signal. Either the device is too weak, or they purely want more visits from you.

🚩 Cloudy glass on the probe? Ask to show the crystal. It must be perfectly clean.
