Woman suffered leg burns after laser bikini treatment

A childcare worker, who suffered first and second degree burns to her legs and inner thighs following a laser bikini treatment that went wrong, has been awarded damages against Havana Therapy Limited.

Denise Byrne, 38, of Colthurst Rise, Lucan, Co Dublin, told the Circuit Civil Court in Dublin her life had been seriously affected following a €600 course of laser treatments carried out on her at the therapy company’s clinic at 13 Main Street, Dundrum, Dublin.

Barney Quirke, counsel for Ms Byrne, told the court there had been little or no response to his client’s complaints by Havana Therapy. They had not replied to a significant number of letters sent on Ms Byrne’s behalf.
