  1. Elos Acne Treatment
    Elos Acne Treatment says:

    How does the Elos treatment compare to the acne treatment provided at clear skin care clinic? I had their acne treatment done in Sydney but it didn’t do much for me.. I thought the doctor herself would have performed the treatment but she wasn’t even based in the clinic so I felt a bit ripped off. Can you please email me a quote or price list? I have put my email into the form. Tnx.
