Written on: 14/01/2013
This IPL is a scam (IPL850) as is the carbon dye. Even though it is supposed to remove hair by using the machine every few weeks, I used it daily for a month. It did not kill one hair. The dye did NOT help. Also tried to remove an old tattoo in dark ink. NOTHING happened. Anyone thinking of buying from Advan- Biotechniques, or whatever name they are currently using should check the history of this company. I do not know why they have no negative responses on EBay, but I cannot find any... (read more)
“I a simple scam”
Written on: 15/11/2011
I have to say that this "company" is a big scam, The laser is a simple empty box wit a laser burner, nothing near to a medical instrument. The only thing that you can eliminate with this is the health of your skin. I don't know how this people are not in jail. (read more)

Written on: 22/01/2009
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... (read more)

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... (read more)
“I purchased a laser system through Bio Technique...”
Written on: 14/08/2007 by EB1 (1 review written)
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... (read more)

Wednesday 26th September: Further to my review of the 14th August, I have since received a partial refund from Centre Biotechnique Avance. Refund was by cheque, which took 21 working days (4 weeks) to clear, which eventually was today. I'm still amazed I received the money. It's been a long 7 months. I would still urge people to be extremely careful when dealing with internet purchasing, especially when it deals with large amounts of money.

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+. (read more)

Written on: 06/03/2007 by addoni (1 review written)
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... (read more)

Written on: 14/11/2006 by laurajo (1 review written)
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 by a red... (read more)

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. (read more)

Which laser did you buy? I have recently purchased the LDM10K laser from them which hasn't yet arrived so I haven't has the opportunity to try it out. I am a bit skeptical about it's effectiveness but due to the 90 day return policy I didn't see this as a problem. What were their reasons for not refunding?

I could not agree more - having received my Biotechnique Avance Standard Long Pulse Diode laser I have since returned it, and had to go through my credit card company to get my money back.
