Re: ipl burn

Electrolysis, unless performed by a physician, is not a medical procedure and the medical malpractice standards of conduct do not apply.

You did not state where you reside, but I have offices in Manhattan and Westchester counties. The first thing to do after taking care of your injuries is to have your attorney send a claim notice to the spa.

Please contact my office via email if you need assistance.

Re: ipl burn

I'd be happy to discuss this matter further. Know that in order to establish a malpractice case you must show that the doctor's conduct is different from what other doctors do and that this deviation caused you harm. Please call or email me.

Take care of your health first; see a doctor right away to prevent further damage to your skin. If it turns out that you have sustained permanent damage, you may have a personal injury claim. Feel free to call my office and/or e-mail me.
