Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center - Waltham

I had Smartlipo 3 months ago and am thrilled with my results. I was so nervous for the procedure but the process could not have been easier. I was back to work in 2 days. The staff is fantastic!!! I highly recommend them.

This review is long overdue, my experience at Finesse was spectacular! I consulted for a laser lipo body contouring procedure. As soon as I walked into Finesse I was treated by the kindest staff which eased my anxiety. My consultation with Kim was impressive and thorough and all my question were answered. I chose finesse for my procedure because of the doctors unbelievable talent and keen eye for aesthetics. No regrets whatsoever, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my body. My laser lipo changed my life and I feel so much more confident now! I highly recommend the Finesse doctors and team if you want to improve your look and boost your confidence!

I cannot stop talking about the wonderful experience I had at finesse! From the moment I made the first phone call to my last follow up appointment everyone was extremely welcoming and eased all of my nerves. Will highly recommend to anyone I know!

Professional team and brilliant doctors!

Everyone is kind and caring from the first phone call at Finesse to my surgery and massage appointments. I can finally wear my bikini again! I highly recommend this clinic for all your aesthetic needs!

I’ve been coming to finesse for years. I’ve gotten everything from Botox (face), (TMJ) to fillers, Morpheus8, and Emsculpt. Everyone is so friendly and professional. I’m beyond happy with my results & will most definitely be a client for life. I cannot recommend them enough!!

After spending hrs upon hrs researching cosmetic Dr’s and looking at probably a thousand before and after pictures I decided to go to Finesse, bc they specialize in body contouring. I am so happy I chose this practice bc my body shape is no longer square and I actually have a nice waistline. Very happy with my results :) I will post pics when I have a chance.

Wish I did this sooner! I was very nervous about the procedure. But the nurses and docs at Finesse are total pros and know exactly what they're doing. It turned out great. I'm only 3 days in so I've got a way to go but already loving it. So happy to have that miserable muffin top gone!!

Days 3-6 were peek swelling, and even with that it wasn't so bad. It just felt tighter or poofier under the compression garment. Hard to describe. Now on Day 11, the swelling has subsided substantially so I have to continually adjust the compression garment so it won't wrinkle and pinch. The compression garment is supper annoying but necessary for support. Yellowish bruising is still apparent. In a few areas, there is numbness, tenderness and some lumpiness - all very subtle. It sounds worse than it really is (in my case) and I'm told all will subside over time and with help from the deep tissue massages that come starting week 3. I'll send more pics later today. Thank you all for you comments! It's been a great relief to have this community to share.

Here are photos from Day 11 - when I compare the before photos to these I feel emotional. Just so happy that old belly is gone! The compression garment has zippers and eye hooks on both sides. It's annoying but it works for support.

Just a little advice if you're researching or have already decided to have the procedure. Some things that I found helpful ...

- First, of course, take your time to research - use sights like realself and get references from friends. Learn about the most recent technology and what would suit your needs best. Look at the docs before and afters and talk to some former patients if you can.

- Once you've decided to do it, get yourself set up at home. Set up your nightstand or a tray stand with all the stuff you will need - tissue, water, meds, crackers, puppy pads, a small wastebasket next to the bed. Your computer, phone and chargers, tv remotes, books.

-Have the maxi pads and mini pads within easy reach where you'll be changing them out. As well as a garbage bag that you can easily dump all the used pads into. (I had the puppy pads under the bed but soon realized it was not easy to get under there to get them. So put the things you'll need UP higher - a countertop or bench or chair - and within reach. Bending over and reach down is not easy to do for the first few days.)

- If you don't already have some, get a couple loose and light weight, black or navy, midi dresses that you can easily slip on and off, and even sleep in. Especially that first week. I went to Marshall's a bought a few shifts for $12.99.

(a quick note on the the puppy pads and maxi pads - they are for the water that leaks out after the procedure. The puppy pads were sufficient for my case. Some recommend sheet protectors. It's up to you.)

That's all I can think of now ...

If you have any questions let me know ...

Feeling great. Every thing is looking as it should. I'm feeling much more energetic than I used to. It must be the extra fat is gone and not weighing me down. I've been walking five miles a day for the past 3 days. I'm determined to keep the weight off. I have one biggish lump on my right flank, and still swollen there too. But I'm not worried about it. It's going to take some time for it all to even out. I'm very happy with the results. I'm going to post again around the one month mark and then the final results around the three month mark.

All's well ... I don't wear the compression garment or the shaper anymore. I had the first of 3 massages with Velashape. I didn't like it. It's uncomfortable because it sucks up the treated area and smooshes it. It breaks up and smooths out any tissue that's forming into lumps and tightens the skin. So I'll continue with it. But my tummy is still a strange combination of numbness and tenderness and the Velashape caused a little swelling, which is normal. Just when it seemed like it was all going down.I have a couple very small lumps in lower tummy, which will resolve with time. I'm very happy with the results. I'll post more in 3 months.

Feeling great. So so happy I had it done. My muffin top is gone for good. What a drag that tummy was to lug around! What a difference it makes in my everyday life to have it gone. My clothes fit beautifully. When I sit my tummy isn't squishing and rolling out and making it hard to breath. I have more energy, more confidence, and feel so much happier in general. I went into the procedure weighing 157 and now weigh 140. It's the best thing I could have done for myself. My husband said it looks amazing too. And he notices I'm much happier without all that fat and bloat around my middle. Here are the last of my photos. If you decide to do it I wish you the very best!!

I can never tell if my reviews are being posted so sorry if you're reading this twice. I've posted my 3 month pics. I'm feeling great. I'm so so happy that I had this done. The muffin top is not only gone so I look great and feel great in my clothes, but I feel lighter, happier and more confident and I have more energy. I truly believe all that lugging around all that fat and bloat was taking up a lot of energy and wearing me down. Smart Lipo was the right decision for me. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about it. All the best!!

A major thank you to Dr. Kruy. I really wish I had gone to Dr. Kruy before tweaking my face. Fortunately, I went to him and he was able to fix my face back to what I recognize. I really am so happy. I could’ve saved myself some serious disappointments if I had gone to finesse in the first place.

Since I was a young teen, no matter how much weight I lose my belly and waist have always appeared to bulge. I could never wear form fitting clothes even after my first child when I lost so much weight my periods stopped and I had to gain some back.

So- at 56 I am tired of it. Went on the trip of a lifetime to Provance for a special wedding. I went for 2 small area coolsculpting treatments on my upper abdomen as this has always been the worst part of my figure.

I was not expecting a miracle and would be happy with even a little change BUT 2 and a half months out... no changes despite the fact that I have lost a little weight since then. I guess I'll see what happens in a couple of months. Hopefully I will see at least a little improvement.

fter doing some research on the medical literature I fould that massage right after the procedure makes a HUGE difference. But it has to be done for 5 minutes. I only got about 2 min on each area. I think may be why I am not seeing results.

The trip to France and the wedding were still fabulous. :-)

At first, I thought I was seeing results after about 2 months but now think it was my imagination. Before procedure I had lost 22 lbs and I have gained back some of it, maybe 8 lbs. So, I am still down 14lbs! I think there should be at least a little contouring but no such luck.

I keep wondering if she had done more massage after the treatment if it would have taken better. I read the scientific literature and the really dramatic results were based on a 5-minute massage after the procedure. My technician only massaged the areas for about 2 minutes each side. Also, that I did such a small area might have something to do with it. I probably needed to do my lower abdomen too- but the cost is sky high. I'm thinking if I do anything else it might be smartlipo which is more permanent I think. I know it’s more expensive but maybe this is one of those- you get what you pay for things.

So after much research I decided to go ahead with smartlipo at Finesse laser & Lipo Center in Waltham. I met with the doctor who seemed like he was in a little bit of a rush but still gave me my due attention. The consultation went great. They were honest with me and gave me options. I'm excited! I will update after surgery on Oct. 6. I will also upload before and after photos. Wish me all the Luck !
