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 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).

Been coming to see Amanda for a few years now. Gone to a…read morefew artists before, but didn't get along as well as I'd like. Pros: - Amanda's a gem: honest, funny and fun personable. 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)

My ear-piercing experience with Adrenaline seemed fine, meaning staff were friendly and helpful,…read moreand didn't treat me like I was in the wrong place simply because I'm a senior citizen. My granddaughter also felt her experience there was fine. We both had earlobe piercings but at different times. Well, all WAS fine until we tried to remove the studs. We were both told to leave them in for 6 or 8 weeks (can't recall) but I waited another couple of weeks just to be safe. One stud came out fine but the other one seemed to be caught somehow. It was really painful and my ear bled when I tried to remove the stud. I left it in but felt alarmed that even though I'd left it for two extra weeks it was still raw and bloody. Every time I tried to remove it the pain was intense and there was still blood. Weirdly enough, my granddaughter had a very similar experience with hers. One came out fine, but one "caught", hurt, and bled. We left them in longer and kept hoping they would heal and be fine. I finally got mine out without it bleeding, but it was very difficult to put in an earring. It just felt blocked or not completely pierced. It was painful and uncomfortable. Same experience for my gdaughter. She also couldn't put in earrings without feeling blocked and hurting in one earlobe. I gave up trying to use that piercing because it hurt too much and still bled a little. I went back to Adrenaline and told the female at the front counter about our unsatisfactory and painful experience. There was no sympathy or apology or any apparent interest. She just told me we could have them redone for $75 each, which was 50% MORE than we'd paid in the first place! I would think a reputable, established shop (which I thought Adrenaline was) would offer a redo, at least on the affected ears, but she barely looked at me, just offered to book us in, again, for more money than we'd already paid! No doubt they would just try to blame us, say we did something wrong, took the studs out too soon... or I don't know what. They certainly showed no interest in finding out what had gone wrong or how it happened that two clients had the same painful experience and were unable to wear their pierced earrings after paying to have their ears pierced! I don't get it. Maybe they just don't care about the service they provide and their customers. Too bad. Adrenaline is very conveniently located for us but now we are looking for ANOTHER piercing place to get our earlobes pierced yet again, spending more money, when we should be happy with our Adrenaline piercings and experience. I cannot recommend Adrenaline, based on our unhappy outcomes.

My husband and myself got Vitamin Therapy IV and injection a few years ago. Before going to the…read moreclinic, I was already in contact with Terry on Instagram. I appreciate the ease of communication and how knowledgeable Terry is. He's very honest and will give you all the information you need. Today, January 25,2022, I did the Scarlet RF. I was supposed to do this procedure last year but had to hold off because of personal reason. I've already did consult last year but Terry wanted to do another one to make sure all my concerns and questions are addressed. I used to go to a different skin clinic before. Unfortunately, the other clinic has gone too busy and too commercialized. The personal touch is gone in my opinion. One thing I like about The One Skin is how they make you feel they care about you. Terry is very kind and you can feel his sincerity. The whole procedure took almost 3 hours including post care. I'm not going to lie. The procedure is painful but tolerable. The numbing cream really helped. The package I bought includes 3 sessions of Scarlet RF, 3 post procedure care and 3 peeling treatments done 2 weeks after SRF. It's just my first session and I feel very good. I will update this review once I completed the 3 sessions. So far so good!

The consultation process was nice, they took their time when assessing my skin and asked me what my concerns and goals were which was great. You can tell that they have experience, and have a lot of skin knowledge. I did a hydrofacial to clear my congested skin, and a carbon laser peel after that (my first time for laser skincare). Because laser causes redness and damage to the skin, they provide a free "postcare treatment" where they cool down the skin with gels, serums, and a mister while you relax, that was a nice touch. I look amazing, my pores are smaller, my skin is really radiant and even, and there is this noticeable glow. Most importantly my visible acne and redness are reduced as well. I am really happy. I wanted to come back to do some Botox, so I spoke with the doctor while I was there. She was informative, gentle, and professional. I am excited to come back. - And they have everything here: They have laser, IPL, micro-needling, PRP, hair-removal, tattoo-removal, etc. This was so nice to find in Burnaby. I would highly recommend it, even if it means coming from Vancouver.
