I was highly sceptical about the emsella chair treatment. I was also desperate. As a 72 yr old woman I didn’t think this treatment was going to work but as I said, I was desperate. After 1 treatment I saw a significant difference, so much so it changed my life. I no longer was terrified of sneezing or coughing in public. I also wasn’t frantic about not knowing where the closest bathroom was when I was out. Lovely staff , very clean office
I've had dark blue under eye veins since teen years (45 years) & tried everything to cover them: spent $1000's over the years in makeup and nothing ever actually hid them. Picked on in school because I had them, called ugly, had people say things like "are you on drugs" or "you look so tired" etc. I can tell you from my past experience that I was so self-conscious because I don't have the quintessential complexion that you can even out its tone by just applying a bit of foundation. Plus when you age, piling on concealer makes you look so much older because it sets in the fine lines around your eyes. I'd been to various places over the years seeking a treatment and then just gave up since it seemed there was never going to be an answer until I happened to see a place that was highly rated and I thought I would just see if there were any options available. I called Arion Skin Laser Clinic in Vancouver, BC and I'm going to tell you that right from the beginning here is what I found and what happened to me!The reception person, Kyla, took the time to ask me questions about what I was seeking so she could book me in with good details to provide the clinician. My return appointments and speaking with her have been the utmost professional, kind, and caring that one could ask for when feeling self-conscious, including after-care and detailed information on other treatments available. I was booked in for a free consultation with Meran Medani who reviewed my skin and discussed my past history of why I was seeking help. It was a detailed discussion and I could tell he was listening to my concerns and addressed each one with a thorough answer. The cost and the procedure was clearly explained including risks, healing, and what could or could not be safely done including medical explanation that was easy to understand. My first procedure: The procedure did not involve any downtime, not painful (I've had more pain leg waxing!), and did not require any anesthetics. It stings a little bit but completely bearable.After 45 years, I could see immediate results in the vein disappearing! You could see it in the mirror. We only did one side and made sure it healed up before I booked another appointment to have the other side done. There is a little mark from the laser (minimal bruising) which dissipates as it heals. When I went home my BF noticed immediately!. You can see the actual difference and I'm so over the moon excited with my results because it's so substantial. I've gone back for another treatment and a touch-up since the area has to be treated in small areas and still more improvement is happening. Pro's: All of it! Excellent service, treats people like patients, options for different types of laser treatments and what the realistic expectations are, gives tons of information to help you make your own decisions, the cost was very affordable, follow up care given. They treated me like I was making a health decision, not just a cosmetic procedure. Cons: None.
