So when Deb was looking for a place to introduce California Slim, a state of the art Fat Loss and Inch Reduction System to the greater Boston Market she immediately thought of Mac Med. “In all my years in the industry I have never met a more progressive or innovative business owner than Debbie MacDonald. Mac Med offers the most diverse set of high end treatments I have ever seen. Debbie is very particular about what she brings on board and is constantly researching the best and brightest.” Deb offers the first 50 minute treatment and consultation free so the client can experience what the technology is all about. She will measure you before and after the first treatment and determine if you are a candidate.
