Finally…a light at the end of the tunnel.

Advanced Laser Clinics™ has set the gold standard for efficacy, services and value in Laser Hair Removal and Skin Renewal. In five short years, ALC has emerged as the dominate force coast-to-coast…having performed well over 250,000 treatments nationwide.

Welcome to America’s #1 source for Laser Hair Removal & Skin Renewal.

The Advanced Laser Clinics story dates back to the turn of the century. It was then that the co-founders, one a finance specialist for a Canadian Dermatology/Plastic Surgery group, the other a business consultant/sales manager, first met one another. Members of the medical community, in both the United States and Canada, brought them together. They found themselves face-to-face with a little-known but most intriguing and rapidly developing technology: Laser Hair Removal.
At the time, Laser Hair Removal was pretty much an invisible industry. It was not marketed aggressively to the consuming public nor was it perceived as an integral part of a growing service sector. That was until our co-founders entered the picture and, in turn, created an entirely new industry. An industry founded on the firm belief that customer satisfaction knows no boundaries.

The idea was simple: pioneer a mainstream business model where Laser Hair Removal and Skin Renewal services could be economically mass-marketed to consumers by embracing a cosmetic approach to a medical procedure.

Their instinct proved to be right on track. By utilizing tools such as FDA-approved equipment, web-based appointment scheduling, unique service guarantees in writing, an aggressive advertising presence, trained and certified technicians and grassroots marketing, they opened the first Advanced Laser Clinics in Lynnwood, Washington in April 2000. The Lynnwood clinic provided immediate validation of the company’s mission of providing unparalleled customer service at a competitive price. The clinic’s immediate success, coupled with the increasing demand for services throughout the Greater Seattle market, led to two more clinic openings in less than six months (Bellevue and Tacoma, Washington). Word spread quickly regarding the success of this now proven model and interested partners (both financial and medical) began emerging…eager to invest in clinics of their own.

A corporate office was established and several key business associates joined the team to build the necessary infrastructure to support the company as it continued to grow. The foundation of long-term stability and continued profitability was constructed. A strategic alliance was formed with Lumenis™, the nation’s leading manufacturer of aesthetic procedure equipment, which strengthened pricing as well as establishing a reliable, trusted resource in the industry. By the end of 2000, three more corporate clinics were operating in Arizona, Utah and California.

By the end of 2001, 15 corporate clinics were operating in 6 states (Washington to Florida). Shortly thereafter, the realization surfaced that the most effective, efficient way to grow the industry created was to franchise the model nationwide.

Today, as the industry leader, ALC’s formula for success has fueled a growth pattern and market penetration that is unprecedented nationwide. Advanced Laser Clinics has grown to more than 70 clinics coast-to-coast in 5 short years. “Owning and operating corporate clinics allows Advanced Laser Clinics to keep a pulse on trends, treatments and customer satisfaction,” reports ALC’s Chief Executive Officer. “Others may talk a good story. We, however, live it on a daily basis. This is one of the major differences between Advanced Laser Clinics and the rest of the industry.”
