Good Points: There were no good points. I am thankful that I paid by Mastercard so I was able to get my money back 2 months later.

Bad Points: I ordered the LD40K laser system. The machine was poorly designed and several cords were taped together. The laser beam appeared bigger than it actually was because they had added an led on the tip. The instructions were vague, inadequate and somewhat irrelevant to the machine I purchased. The protective eyewear they provided was inadequate, my eyes did not feel comfortable.

General comments: I purchased my laser machine (LD40K) in September 2008. The machine does not perform as they claim. I have had laser treatment done at a salon, so I know how it's supposed to work. Their machine does not singe the hairs at all. It took them at least 2 months to ship the unit to me which I promptly returned at my expense. They claim to give a refund within 30 days. This did not happen after numerous e-mails. I had to get Mastercard involved to receive my full refund 2 months after returning the unit. They want to make you jump through a bunch of hoops to return the unit, like obtain a return authorization number from them, purchase a new shipping box and fill, etc. I obtained the authorization number but returned the unit in the original packaging. Their website appears professional but it is not. I am very disappointed.

I almost bought one of their 'lasers'... but when I realised they asked me to transfer money to Texas via transunion (even if the reseller was supposed to be a Canadian company) I thought that might be a risky... I tried to find reviews about their laser technology somewhere but on every site I visited, nothing... They claim to have all the best settings but where that comes from for 1000-5000$??? It was actually too good to be true I guess; Let's pay an esthetician... Because we wont have this ...

I purchased a laser system through Bio Technique Avance back in February 2007. I initially contacted them via their web site asking what system would be suitable for home use, and they were ever so eager to talk to me then. So I arranged for a wire transfer for $1,803.82 = Euro 1,434.71 to be lodged into their bank account, thinking I'd made a wise decision as their web site looked so genuine, professional and honest. I eventually received my machine on the 17th April. Not only had I received i ...

It was the wrong diode laser. I returned it, and I did not get any type of refund for the Bio Technique Avance Standard Long Pulse Diode Laser, so I lost my deposit of $600+.

Centre Biotecnique Avance appears to be a professional website and the whole company has been thought about from every angle so that they can keep money from you. The head office that it is registered to, is only a postal dropping point. They operate from different sides of the border so that there are different laws that will protect them. They make their money, by you using the product, then they charge you a 25% restocking fee for using it. Most people don't complain as they are glad to h ...

I purchased the LDM10K laser for $3000 which is is approx £1700. I followed the instructions exactly and it did not work whatsoever. According to their website the LDM10K laser is supposed to have a beam size of 0.4cm by 0.8cm. When testing the laser on the carbon test paper, the beam was the size of a pin prick (I had previously purchased a home laser for £99 which had a larger beam than this). Upon further inspection of the laser it was obvious it was a tiny laser beam surrounded b ...

More importantly, the Biotechnique Avance company states a 90-day non-conditional guarantee. However, I have returned my item following their protocols and they are refusing to pay the refund. I can not get my money back at this point.
