CosMedic LaserMD

CosMedic LaserMD is an Ann Arbor medical spa, according to its Google Maps listing. This review asks one question of it: what can a reader in Dexter find out before something goes wrong?

Where the count places it

This site orders Dexter-area providers from the highest count to the lowest on Non-surgical treatments offered. CosMedic LaserMD is first in that order because cosmediclasermd.com lists 40 treatments. That is a statement about menu length. It says nothing about results or aftercare. Its Google Maps profile shows a 4.9 rating across 165 reviews.

For and against

  • For: the longest published treatment menu of the Dexter-area providers reviewed here.
  • For: Google Maps files it as a medical spa.
  • Against: a long menu gives you more to ask about and no extra information on how a problem is handled afterward.
  • Against: it is in Ann Arbor, not Dexter, so a same-day visit means a drive.

Two questions that sort urgent from cosmetic

Put these to the clinic before you book. If a treatment went wrong, what would you do the same day, and what could wait for a follow-up visit? Who would see me, and would it be the person who treated me?

Hold the answers up against published guidance. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons article on what to look for in a med spa comes from a professional body. If melasma is your concern, the page Melasma: Diagnosis and treatment is the reference to read first.

Who it fits, and who else to call

CosMedic LaserMD fits a reader who wants many treatment options under one roof and is willing to travel for them. A reader who wants a provider in town can look at The Dexter Aesthetic Club, which is in Dexter. A reader whose concern is skin and laser work can compare Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, which sits second in the order and is based in Chelsea.

Before you call

Write your two questions down, note the answers, and compare them with a second provider before you decide.
