Got Rid of Love Handles!! (Sculpsure Treatment)

Came in for Sculpsure treatment. I’m very pleased with the results. Recommend to have at least two treatments (you’ll be so glad with the results from the first one that you’ll want to come for more!) Staff was very professional and courteous. They made me feel comfortable and explained to me how the treatment worked. They would regularly check up on me during the treatment. Due to the way the treatment works, it can feel a bit uncomfortable the first time. But one gets used to it and by the second treatment, it’s fine. For best results, I recommend that, in addition to the treatment, to exercise and eat a healthy diet (nothing specific, just be consistent and can still have a cheat meal once or twice a week). Would definitely recommend and will come back.

Worth It$100LED Light Therapy

Working for Me!

My health insurance covers the procedure. It takes 10 minutes slightly and was uncomfortable the first time. I get it every 2 weeks for my acne. I love it. My skin tone has evened out. My face is hardly oily at all anymore. I used to be a walking puddle even on a cold day when wearing makeup. Now when I wear makeup hardly any oil. My acne has improved tremendously, as well. I still get breakouts when I am hormonal, but who doesn't? (Cost says $100 b/c the review said I have to put that in there, but my health insurance covered it so it's actually only a $30.00 co-pay!)

Not Worth It$3,000Exilis

Los Gatos Lady

A Lot of Money and Zero Result

I am 49 and have sagging neck skin just due to aging and genetics. I went for 6 treatments and had no noticeable result. Very frustrating and hugely expensive. The practitioners were nice but the actual doctor was not involved. The treatment was tolerable and even relaxing. But at the end of the day the office got $3000 result or no result, so the incentives are skewed. They never told me no result was possible. They took "before" photos and made lots of promises but there was no "after" consultation for me and the doctor was never around. There was no accountability. Extremely disappointed.

Left with a Ghost of a Tattoo -San Jose, CA

Several years ago I made the mistake of getting a tattoo at a convention. Although I was pretty certain of what I wanted, I had not taken the time to size and place it properly and the end result was a tattoo that was not only too large for my small frame, but it was placed too far out on my shoulder and had mistakes that made it look ugly. After a few years I decided to get it removed. I was under the impression that it would be gone, and after a few treatments it seemed promising. However, after the later treatments made minimal change each time and I ended up giving up after between 25 and 30 treatments. (They had reduced the price with each treatment, so my later sessions only cost me $65 each. However, I still spent close to $3K for all of them.) I am now left with a ghost of my former tattoo, and every summer I dread wearing tank tops or going to the pool and fielding questions about what that strange scar on my back is. Granted, most people cannot tell that it was a tattoo, but others can see it and can tell me exactly what it was without my prompting them. I am now on a mission to get rid of it, some way. I was told by a tattoo removal doctor to try Fraxel, which costs about $1500. But, when I went to the Fraxel doctor, he said to try Excimer, which costs even more and requires 25-50 treatments. So, next on the list is Derma Needle Roller and Red LED light therapy. If these don't work, I'll get a cover up. Updated on 18 Jun 2013: I've been using the derma roller for one week, in hopes that it will help minimize the scarring or at least help blend the pigment so that the outline is not so noticeable. So far, there's no change (which I certainly didn't expect in this short amount of time.) I wanted to add this photo, since it's a of my full shoulder, so you can see more of the problem. Although nearly all the pigment is gone, you can still clearly see what was there.
