I suffer from a kind of rare condition called 'Heel Fat Pad Atrophy'. conservative treatment over…read morea six month time die NOT relieve my heel pain. It was bad enough I had to cut back on dog walks (out Doodle was not happy with this). Reviewing the medical literature I found out there was a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of my condition. After multiple phone calls to clinics offering dermal fillers (mostly for cosmetic procedures) I found the practice of Dr. Anna Sylwestrowicz, MD . The office was very accommodating with my unique inquiry and agreed to meet with me just to discuss my diagnosis and treatment plan. One of the most vital requirements for a good medical outcome is a solid 'Doctor-Patient' relationship that starts with an open and frank discussion. I found my conversation with Dr. Anna (as she prefers to be addressed) to be all a patient could ask for. We jointly came up with a plan, discussed the various dermal fillers on the market, her experience with their use, possible outcomes and hoped for outcomes. I agreed to the procedure. Three weeks before the start of my hike, Dr. Anna injected my left heel pad with dermal filler. The procedure itself was tolerable and I walk out of the office with an order to 'take it easy' with my walking. For the first 5-6 days I was sore at the injection site but that was too be expected. After a week, I restarted my daily dog walks (much to the pleasure of our Doodle) and gradually increased my mileage. On April 23rd, 2026 I found my self hiking south on the Appalachian Trail from the small village of Damascus, Virginia. I was planned on keeping my daily mileage under 20km while carrying 15kg of pack. At that point, my heel was pain free. I hiked for a month pain free. I ended this section of the Trail in the very tourist town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This was a distance of 400km-pain free! Considering the pain, I was in prior to the injection of dermal filler this was a remarkable medical outcome. I am very, very pleased. As for the future, there are 333km left for me to complete. I will be back to the Trail in September for finish that section. Thank you to Dr. Anna and her staff in joining me on this journey!

Rant: Elegance Scupting in Parksville. They do not stand behind their services. I had lash…read moreextensions put on. I made sure my lashes were totally clean the day before and the day of. After the lash extension application they were falling off in mass, something I've never had happen before. When I phoned in, I was told by Rachel that my lashes had mascara debris on them. Why on earth would she put extension of lashes that were not CLEAN? I've never, ever had this happen before. The two times, elsewhere I had lash extensions done they made sure my lashes were clean. Not impressed, for a once off extravagence, I expect companies to stand behind their services and make sure they're apply lashes to a clean canvas.

My sister got gel ones but also had to go back and get hers redone because the gel was lifting off within 3 days.

I've gotten all of my tattoos and most of my piercings done at Urge Studios. I'm not sure they do…read morepiercings anymore...I think I heard they might be ink only now, but I'm not sure. Aaaannnyyywaay, I had one tattoo done by Iesza, who was marvellous but has long since moved on, one done by Eric that I was not entirely thrilled with and he's since moved on too, and two done by Emily, who does a really excellent job and is a skilled artist, as well as being friendly and funny and putting the customer at ease. I like the location now; taking it out of the downtown core makes it more accessible if you're like me and have a car - parking is less of an issue. I also like the space a lot - very bright and lots of bold colour. I know they take hygiene and standards there very seriously too, which is important. I find the price a teeny bit steep, but research shows it's gone up everywhere and Urge is about average. My giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the occasionally intimidating "hipster/snob" feel which might dissuade a first-timer, and because they do such a great job that they're popular and it takes ages to get in.

I have been to Gastown Tattoo many times over the past several years for laser removal, and I have…read morehad one tattoo done here. Laser: Cleo, who does the laser removal here, is so nice and friendly. She knows what she's doing, and she made a very painful experience for me a little easier. I would always look forward to seeing her and having a little chat. I appreciated her knowledge and expertise when it came to having my tattoo removed. Tattoo: There is a vibe here that I find a bit off-putting. Sometimes the people at the front desk have been courteous, but often aloof to the point of unfriendly. I feel quite unwelcome in the space, and the artist who did a matching tattoo for my friend and me really didn't seem to want to be doing it (we had asked and made sure he was ok with it, and he agreed). I would come back her for laser removal, but not tattooing (unless there was a specific artist who I wanted to see).

Been coming to see Amanda for a few years now. Gone to a…read morefew artists before, but didn't get along as well as I'd like. Pros: - Amanda's a gem: honest, funny and fun personable. Need to talk to be able to talk to someone when you're laid out for a few hours in pain. - bit of a wait for bookings, I waited four and a half weeks between consult to ink time. - a good job coordinating and multiple reminders. - super clean studio FYI: - parking is brutal in gastown. I park at Tinseltown and go over sometimes (if tat is under two hrs), but super easy to just transit - shop sits on a one way street, if driving - be prepared to pay a deposit aft the consult ($100 usually)

My husband and myself got Vitamin Therapy IV and injection a few years ago. Before going to the…read moreclinic, I was already in contact with Terry on Instagram. I appreciate the ease of communication and how knowledgeable Terry is. He's very honest and will give you all the information you need. Today, January 25,2022, I did the Scarlet RF. I was supposed to do this procedure last year but had to hold off because of personal reason. I've already did consult last year but Terry wanted to do another one to make sure all my concerns and questions are addressed. I used to go to a different skin clinic before. Unfortunately, the other clinic has gone too busy and too commercialized. The personal touch is gone in my opinion. One thing I like about The One Skin is how they make you feel they care about you. Terry is very kind and you can feel his sincerity. The whole procedure took almost 3 hours including post care. I'm not going to lie. The procedure is painful but tolerable. The numbing cream really helped. The package I bought includes 3 sessions of Scarlet RF, 3 post procedure care and 3 peeling treatments done 2 weeks after SRF. It's just my first session and I feel very good. I will update this review once I completed the 3 sessions. So far so good!
