The laser is called Epitouch Alexandrite. According to the web site "
The Epitouch Alexandrite is the only laser with a computerized scanner
that not only makes treatments faster, but helps to ensure more thorough
and accurate treatments". Because of their prices they have people from
California and Washington State come to Vancouver to be treated.
