I found Removery online when I was interested in getting my tattoo removed. I went in for a…read moreconsultation and it was a great experience! I paid the price for unlimited sessions, since I didn't know how many sessions it would take to fully remove my tattoo specifically. Ever since I started coming for my sessions, I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here. Every staff member is very friendly. As far as how painful it is, I have an extremely high pain tolerance. For me, getting the tattoo "hurt" more than having it removed. My tattoo is pretty small and it's on my forearm, so maybe it's because of the size and location. Each sessions starts with the tech asking if there are any changes to your medical history, and some additional questions about whether you've had sun exposure and a few other things. The tech puts an ice pack on the tattoo to numb it, and then they adjust the laser settings and go over the tattoo. It's pretty seamless from start to finish, and my tattoo is almost removed completely now after 9 sessions. I would highly recommend using Removery if you are interested in getting your tattoo removed!

I would strongly caution women before booking tattoo removal appointments with Nick. During both my…read moreconsultation and appointments, he repeatedly steered the conversation into overtly sexual topics that were wildly inappropriate and made me extremely uncomfortable. This included discussing sexual acts he likes versus dislikes and asking invasive questions about my sex life with my partner. These were not comments that would be appropriate in any setting, especially not from someone providing a professional service while I was alone in a vulnerable environment during a procedure. The interaction crossed major personal and professional boundaries to the point that I no longer felt comfortable or safe. His behavior felt predatory to me, and I ignored my instincts after the consultation and deeply regret returning for the appointments. After my experience, I discovered that other women had publicly described similar uncomfortable interactions with him in past reviews from many years ago, which made me even more concerned that this may not be isolated incidents. I am intentionally limiting identifying details including my actual name, because I do not want to be recognized, but I felt it was important to share this experience so other women can make informed decisions before booking with Nick. I will never return.

PLEASE READ…read more At this point it has been more than 2 years since I first met with staff at Zel Skin. It took me a long time to write this because my experience receiving treatments with them was very negative, and it has taken me a long time to recover, both physically and emotionally. For anyone considering treatments with Zel Skin, and in particular, Dr. Adam Schmitt, I would strongly advise you to seek alternate consultations and treatments. Below is the outline of my experience with them. It is difficult for me to write this, but it is important for me to share in case I can prevent this experience for anyone else. In 2020 I came to Zel Skin for tattoo removal. I had a tattoo on the inside of my left forearm, unfortunately my body had a bad reaction to the red ink in the tattoo, and it was a source of ongoing discomfort that I wanted to remove. The clinic told me that they couldn't proceed with conventional laser tattoo removal, because of the risks associated with the red ink being dissolved into my bloodstream, potentially causing a worse reaction. Instead, in consultation with Dr. Brian Zelickson, I was advised to have the tattoo removed surgically in a series of procedures. The plan was to slice out a strip of skin from the middle of the tattoo (which was about 3.5 inches at its longest and 2 inches at its widest), stitch the skin back together, let the wound fully heal, and then repeat that procedure twice more until there was no more tattoo remaining. The first one of these surgeries went smoothly, and the recovery from that initial procedure gave me confidence in the clinic and Dr. Adam Schmitt. Unfortunately, that confidence was misplaced. After the initial surgery, Dr. Adam Schmitt recommended that we proceed with only one additional surgery, rather than following the initial plan. He thought he could remove the rest of the skin with tattoo ink on it with only one more procedure. This was appealing to me because it meant less surgery and faster healing. Unfortunately, this was overly ambitious and even dangerous, and Dr. Adam Schmitt struggled to stitch the skin back together after the tattoo was removed. I was sent home with a large open wound, and inadequate self-care instructions. A nurse that I know in my personal life was appalled that I was sent home in that condition and recommended home visiting wound care. When I asked what was going wrong and why the surgery hadn't proceeded as expected, Dr. Adam Schmitt told me that forearm skin is not as stretchy as other parts of the body. This seems like a fact that he should have taken into account before recommending we proceed with a second surgery removing more skin than originally planned. A couple weeks later, on the recommended timeline, I returned to Zel Skin in order for them to try to fully close the surgical wound they had left me with in the prior visit. Dr. Adam Schmitt continued to struggle to close the gap, and even resorted to removing fatty tissue in order to get the skin to close. This has left my left forearm with a noticeably different shape and size than my right forearm. Although the stitches were able to connect after this follow-up procedure, the skin was so tightly stretched that it began to cut off circulation to my hand. This necessitated reopening the wound in the same visit and restitching. The procedure took over four hours. It was clear Dr. Adam Schmitt and the secretary at ZelSkin were clearing his schedule as the procedure went on and on. When I got home, the wound continued to burst through the stitches and wouldn't stay closed. Please see the attached picture of the final healing, it shows where the stitches continued to burst, tear, and where new scar tissue was formed. It was at this point that my confidence in Zel Skin and Dr. Adam Schmitt was fully exhausted and I began to consult with a different dermatologist and medical team to help me physically recover from this experience and try to get my forearm into a presentable state for my wedding scheduled later that year. The skin was traumatized and flaring up accordingly. This timeline would not have been a concern if not for the disastrous results from Dr. Adam Schmitt's irresponsible approach to my tattoo removal. Later, in reviewing my patient records, I noticed that Zel Skin never submitted costs of the second surgery to my insurance carrier. To me this indicates that they knew that they made a serious mistake in implementing these procedures (which they would not admit to me directly), and didn't want any details leaving their clinic. The records are vague all over actually. Going into this process, I was fully aware that there would be some level of scarring after the tattoo removal was completed. However, the botched surgery, poor judgment by Dr. Adam Schmitt, and Zel Skin's efforts to minimize my concerns led to multiple painful surgeries, unnecessary levels of trauma, and excessive scarring (including the changed shape of my forearm,

I will gladly let them keep my $85 if it encourages potential clients to take their business elsewhere.

I was having injections of my glabellar which included the two corrugator muscles. Before he injected I asked if he would talk for a few minutes about placement of the injection site.

I just asked for a refund. They said the lines would 'go away'. Well, they haven't. And it will be a year in June, I've been to two other dermatologists and an occuplastic surgeon. And it is called corrugator muscle atrophy, either he used too much Botox or it was placed incorrectly. The occuplastic surgeon said he hadn't seen anything like it in his 30 years of practice. If I try a few other procedures like Rf microneedling or laser, it could cost quite a lot, since it has to be done more than once. I look at the lines every day and wish I had never seen this doctor.
