He's respectful, chatty and tells you in the first session what to expect and what to expect at every session. He uses a machine to freeze or to numb your skin beforehand so that helps. I'm glad I'm getting rid of a tattoo that I disliked for many years so if you're thinking of getting rid of a tattoo, come here for sure.

I've been going to body bar for about 3 years now and I cannot recommend them enough!!…read more The staff are so lovely and welcoming and always make me feel so comfortable. I've done many many treatments there over the years and have always had incredible results. I see Taryn every time I go and she always knows what my skin needs. My favourite treatment is the hydrafacial/laser genesis combo I'm always so relaxed when I'm there. The place is super clean and the environment is extremely relaxing. This is also my go to place to buy ZO products (if you aren't using you're doing skin care wrong) I tell all my friends about this place and have had many people become body bar fans like myself You won't be disappointed!!

this is my second review for Bodybar but I wanted to write one for my husband- he had very bad…read moretattoos done when he was a teenager, very bad art work, and he was very embarrassed with his horrible tattoos! after having a consultation with many clinics he chose Body Bar, he started at the Coquitlam location and then because we moved. He is now at the Surrey location. he is so blown away with how well his treatment is going. His tattoos have disappeared in some areas, and others are almost gone. It's been a slow process because he has so many tattoos all over his body., but they've always made sure he's comfortable and we're doing the tattoo removal at the right time of year they're very knowledgable with tattoo removal. They have the best equipment. My husband tells everybody only go and see the girls at body bar for tattoo removal. If anyone ever has questions about tattoo removal, my husband would be happy to answer them. He also tells body bar they can use his photos and share with anyone because he knows what it feels like to be embarrassed or have crappy artwork all over your body and he is so happy that Body bar is helping him feel like himself again!! It's nice to see my husband confident in his skin again!!

Finally I found this place and it's the best thing I ever did for my face. The doctor is wonderful and actually 100% corrected a giant line in the middle of my forehead that I didn't think was possible but it's gone now. I've never experienced anything negative about this place. Price is a little up there but I would pay anything to not have my face screwed up like the last place I went to lol I mean it's worth it, It's your face.

At the time I was just grabbing whichever…read morefacial treatment I could get on Groupon, but really wanted someone who could get to know me and my skin to recommend a custom program for my concerns (wrinkle prevention, dark spots from the sun along my cheek bones). I made my first appointment with Leah in January 2015 and haven't gone anywhere else since! At times I can be a touch squeamish about treatments, but Leah explained everything very well and gave me reading material to help me make an informed decision. Since then I've had 2 Dermapen treatments, 1 forever young treatments, 2 skin tightening, 2 photo facials, 1 universal contour body wrap, and 4 laser hair removal treatments - all constantly amazing with stunning results... At the end of this summer I actually had fewer brown spots than I ever had before. It was definitely the combination of the laser treatment and physician grade skin care. As a women in her early 40s - who still occasionally gets IDed at restaurants - I couldn't be happier with the quality and treatment of my skin! I would highly recommend Essence Of L Medi Spa. Go see Leah!!

I have been to many different places all over town for help with my skin, and these people by far…read morehave the best to offer in the Lower Mainland. Not only do they have the newest and most effective equipment, they also know how to address the unusual problems I have with my skin. Being a person who researches things very deeply before undertaking treatments on my face, I know more than the average client about these types of services. It's not my usual experience to encounter a clinic where they know far more than I do! ;) I can feel that they really care about my outcome. In listening to the woman who did my most recent services, I can tell she spends a lot of time educating herself on her craft. I come all the way from North Van to Body Bar. For me it feels like a well kept secret, as their prices are the same or lower than other places I've been to, while being on the cutting edge of their industry. And it doesn't hurt that the place is gorgeous and neat as a pin, to build my confidence in their professionalism. For some reason that matters a lot to me. I'll probably regret writing this review when the secret of this place gets wider known!!

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).

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)
