NEW FREEDOM LASER COSMETIC CENTERS - Key Persons
A registered nurse in Massachusetts and Maine, Entrepreneur Loretta Andreottola has been providing cosmetic services for 25 years.
After 10 years of nursing at Brigham and Women's Hospital and other Boston hospitals, and due to family issues, she made the difficult decision to leave nursing and work at home for what she thought would be a few years only. She began practicing electrolysis out of her home and shortly after lasers for hair removal came onto the scene. Loretta quickly adopted this method of hair removal and was one of the first to incorporate it into her electrolysis practice.
As more and more cosmetic lasers were available and cosmetic injectables became available Loretta decided to go the entrepreneurial route and expand her business. She teamed up with laser surgeon Mark Latina MD and in 1998 opened LaserCare Cosmetic Centers. Loretta has always been one of the first to train on many new and now very popular services. She and Dr. Latina began offering Botox and cosmetic facial injections back in 2002 when FDA approval to improve moderate to severe frown lines were first announced. She has been a full time nurse injector and cosmetic laser technician since that time and has performed thousands of treatments.

She has been in the hair removal industry since 1983 and in the cosmetic laser industry for over 15 years. She was one of the first in the United States to adopt laser hair removal technology and continues to be at the forefront of the cosmetic laser industry.
