BOTCHED LASER HAIR REMOVAL RESULTS IN $70,000 SETTLEMENT

The plaintiff, a  female in her 30's, attended a laser spa to undergo laser hair removal for her extended bikini area.  During her sixth and final procedure, the plaintiff was burned to the point that her entire "genital area felt like it was on fire." SILER & INGBER, LLP, commenced a lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiff against the defendant, laser spa, alleging that defendant was negligent in the training and supervision of its employees as well as violating New York State law requiring medical personnel to be on staff where laser machines are utilized.  As a result of defendant's negligence, the plaintiff suffered second degree burns in the bikini area, anxiety and scarring.  Plaintiff's expert (plastic surgeon) would have testified that plaintiff suffered disfigurement and must avoid future sun exposure to the bikini area.  Plaintiff's second expert (psychologist) would have testified that plaintiff has self esteem issues as a result of the incident.   Defendant's expert (plastic surgeon) confirmed the second degree burns.  Thankfully, the client's injuries have healed and the burns are no longer visible.  During a mediation, the action settled for $70,000.
