The only thing is, I dont remember there being a button for the doors to open on their own from the outside- however, staff are super friendly, if you can wave one down I feel like they'd probably rush over to help open the doors for you. :) The sidewalk is smooth to roll on and the whole outdoor mall area has a lot of room to get from place to place. / Went to my second tattoo removal session today. My first one was eight weeks ago. The location is pretty easy to find and there is parking right nearby. It's inside of the dentist's office which confused me the first time, but you just walk right in and everyone is really friendly and the front desk knows what to do if you say you have a Removery appointment. Nicole is so good, she's so friendly and she distracts you as much as possible during your appointment which is really helpful because it's pretty painful. The stress balls help, use them! It's really fast, and if you follow the proper upkeep (wearing tape over your healing area, wearing sunscreen, keeping it out of the sun, massaging your ointment into it) you do see results by the second session. It's a bit of a drive for me but Nicole can show you some of the results from other people's experiences. It's worth it. Even the darkest of tattoos can be removed which blew my mind. My tattoo is an old, black tribal tattoo so it's going to take a good long while to get rid of fully but the fact you CAN get rid of tattoos pretty much fully is awesome!

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.

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!!

First, I want to say that I have loved my botox experiences elsewhere but an experienced and…read moremindful injector makes all the difference. It's a huge risk to get Botox here. Do you want to play Russian roulette with your face? You go to these places to try and feel better about things you'd like to improve or things you feel self conscious about and not only did they make my issues worse, they lacked empathy and were rude because the doctor there was offended that I said that skilled injectors in the past were able to just look at my face and know exactly what was needed whereas, even after seeing several of my previous charts, Dr. Lindsey seemed very unconfident. I regret not leaving. She said they mix botox differently than others so that placement doesn't really matter (???) If that's the case, what's the point of having charts? Then, she proceeded to add way too much botox so, I had a heavy, dropped brow with hooded eyes and a constant headache. She pretended the amount she was using was conservative but I have never had such a heavy forehead and extra hooded eyelids. I looked and felt terrible. I was visiting Abbotsford and I brought in charts from doctors who previously did a good job with a botox "brow lift". I brought a chart of the last place I went that did a bad job and specifically said I was extremely concerned about that happening again. Dr Lindsey proceeded to give me the worst botox of my life. I had insane Jack Nicholson / Spock eyebrows. The middle was frozen to the point of being painful while the end of my eye brows had complete movement. This doctor appears to have no idea what she's doing. I should have trusted my gut when she seemed hesitant. I asked for a refund so that I could at least go somewhere else and try and get the Spock brows fixed without an additional cost for correcting their mistake and the receptionist was extremely unprofessional, combative, and rude. Then they just didn't return my call or emails despite telling me they would. They "don't do refunds" even if they completely mess up your face. When I'm in San Francisco, I go to Nob Hill Medical Aesthetics and they consistently do a good job. The first time I went, the right eyebrow was slightly too high and they had me come in for a few complimentary units to fix it - that's how it's done. I will always go to them for botox when I'm in SF. They way they injected me made me feel refreshed and my eyes were open - it was perfect. The other time I had a horrible botox experience, the MedSpa was apologetic and offered to do what they could to fix it and did the right thing of refunding me for ineffective and poor service. I have since gone back to different injectors there. Meanwhile, MD Cosmetic & Laser will make things worse after they botch your face by implying you're a problem for complaining and then simply ignoring you. Dr. Lindsey claimed to be conservative but injected too much. If for whatever reason you think it's a prudent choice to get Botox here after this review, get half of whatever she suggests - she's more of a salesperson than a doctor. Even hair dressers will tell you if they can't achieve what you're looking for. This doctor doesn't have the integrity to do that. There was a nurse there who was friendly and helpful and gave me some useful tips but also prescribed me with a hydroquinone compound and failed to tell me that it's not for long term use since it's been banned in most countries. Good luck if you decide to visit this place, I've never felt so horrible about myself after a treatment.

Always happy to get my face resurfaced with a buffer, I trotted off to MD Cosmetic. Jamie, the perkiest cutie in the world did my procedure. She knows skin, and has great advice and is very direct about what I need to do to salvage my stress ridden face skin. This place is not a Spa - it has machines, and chemicals, and cool stuff that actually makes a difference. They do Botox which I will probably need to think about soon... as my life is installing those lines pretty quickly. The service was great, the facility is spotless and the results are fab. I will be gong back there to get some more "fake youth" put back into my face... bring on the chemicals Jamie... I am coming back!!!

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).

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)
