    11/2/22: Negotiated price of 2 machines, via ***** $28,000 total Delivered: 11/10/22 1/3/23: (holiday delay/company out of office): Called & spoke with **** after starting my ****** for the first time since being received & finding it would not come out of standby mode. Was informed it was likely a coolant leak. Tried ****** several more times, to no avail. Since it wasnt a necessary need at the time, I simply requested they help me troubleshoot, take a look at it & /or repair whatever it needed. 1/10/23: Hadnt heard back from company, so I sent follow up to **** Shafer who told me he would send over an evaluation invoice & put me on their schedule. Received evaluation invoice for $750. I declined to have the company evaluate my machine for 1/4 of the cost I had already paid them in cash. 2/13/23: Started my Apogee Elite laser ($25K). Error codes began to appear. First error said, needs water, but had to order connector funnel to do so, Added (distilled) water (reg maint) according to the owner/operators manual. Restarted machine, different error code appeared. I immediately emailed ****. Told him I now had 2 refurbished machines bought directly from their company for $28K that were both erroring out & unusable. Asked that he consider repurchasing the machines from me for what I paid as I felt I have been taken advantage of, & have been sold a machine not properly refurbished. So, here I am, $28K later, 2 nonworking machines, without the ability to pay for an evaluation fee because I spent my money with a company that does not stand behind their work. I understand what refurbished means, but when purchasing large ticket machinery, I do expect it be adequately refurbished. The count shows very minimal fires on the laser itself since my purchase, many of which are test fires. So, its very obviously hardly been used. Now, this company doesnt respond to my emails/calls/texts regarding repurchasing.

    I purchased two Luminous laser units from this company, as well as a Vivace micrnoneedling unit and a HydraFacial. The two laser units were a complete fail. One worked for 6 months and now has a serious failure that *** cost as much as *****k to repair. I paid 25k for it. The second unit I purchased in December 2020 and we didn't have it setup up in time to find out that when we did it wasn't working right, but we were after the 1 month warranty window. It did not work for at least 8 months as I had to find 3 different techs to work on it - turns out techs are flakey, overpriced and hard to come by - and none of them could fix it. Then my own laser technician called Luminous direct and over a call was able to change a setting and get it working! No such luck with the other unit as Luminous is now requiring an account set up to take a call and a minimum 14k service call fee. Meanwhile **** the owner does not respond to any communication.
