I purchased a package of four Cool Beam laser treatments for stretch marks, plus four treatments for spider veins. Not only I didn't see any improvements in both - the results were quite opposite.
The Cool Beam laser treatment was very scary. The doctor pretty much gives you a terrible controlled burn with blisters (which hurts like one with shreds of skin coming off in time). My skin looked awful, and I had discoloration for at least half a year afterwards. After all those layers of skin peeled off my stretch marks looked only whiter, deeper and overall more prominent. I had had very modest expectations because of the nature of the problem. The promise during their sales pitch was at least 70% improvement - I got ZERO (and worse).
The spider vein therapy consisted of two sessions of injections and two laser treatments. As a result, I still have the most miniscule spider veins that were supposed to disappear under the laser. The injections permanently bruised the area around the larger veins making them more visible. Plus, I developed additional purple star-shaped spider vein clusters on the injection spots.
Oh yes, in addition to the outraging pricing, I had to wait between 45 min and 1 hr 30 min at each appointment.
You can't get your money back as they make you sign the paperwork that relieves them from any liability (you know, like all the doctors do).
