From my consultation on Feb 15th, 2024 to today, I've been walking on over to Bella Medspa every…read moresix weeks or so for laser hair removal sessions. I had a LOT of reservations about laser (cost, effectiveness, side effects, etc) but I also knew I needed a different solution for myself that was not constant waxing and sugaring and shaving. I was generously gifted a number of sessions at Bella Medspa and, now at the end, I can honestly say I wish I would have started the process years ago. I am SO, so happy with my results and am grateful for the team here for delivering on exactly what I wanted. That being said, there were some small hiccups along the way. - A change in management that lead to a near doubling of the cost of the particular treatments I was having done. I called management when this happened and they worked with me to put together a package where I could be grandfathered into the old rate by pre-purchasing sessions. This worked out since I ended up needing eight sessions to truly be "done" - but I found the rate hikes to be egregious. I believe the bikini line area went up from $75 a session (what I paid) to $120 a session. There is no price list on their website, which is just an SEO nightmare of trying to find real information through the obvious blur of search terms. - I didn't have the best experience with my initial technician who seems to no longer be working here. Pretty general answers to my queries, occasional call offs/appointment switching, etc. Nothing too crazy. Sarah, the new laser technician at this location, is truly so fabulous. She used to be at their other location so she's still super experienced, and answered all of my questions. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my results. She was also just super personable and someone I would go back to in a heartbeat if I decide to do additional areas in the future. A few other points of note and then I promise I'll wrap it up: + They do use ice but frankly I see it as a kindness since the process can be a little painful, especially as you move up in intensity. I had no adverse issues from the use of ice in the process (one reviewer here scared me a bit and this is a sign to be LESS online, people). I found the whole process to be overall MUCH less painful than waxing or sugaring start to finish. + Patience is key! The internet will say 6 sessions could be it but I would expect more like 8 or 9. You likely won't achieve full results for a year but I promise it's worth it. + Room here was always clean and I was literally in and out for every appointment, aside from the initial consultation, within 10 minutes. + Appointment booking system could not be easier. I always booked six weeks out at my previous appointment and could reschedule via text. I once completely forgotten I had been on antibiotics prior to the appointment (note: you cannot get laser if you've been on antibiotics in the last two weeks) and they let me cancel day of with no penalty. Things like that go a long way! One year worth of appointments = one long review. Overall: this is a great spot to get your laser treatments done for the price I paid.

My initial consult was for dark discoloration under my eyes. I've had under eye filler before but the problem now is really the skin coloring. He listened to my concerns, gave me options, and really took the time to explain everything. Eventually I decided that it wouldn't be worth it to try laser to the area. He was honest and realistic about the results, explaining that the treatment likely wouldn't make a huge difference in their appearance. How refreshing! He refunded my consult fee and I was so impressed with his professionalism that I decided to go back for filler to a different area. He put filler to my temples and cheeks. In the last few years, I didn't like how my face had been looking saggy and a bit unflattering. This gave me the LIFT I needed! My nasolabial folds are essentially gone and I look like I did three years ago. My confidence is soaring and the best thing--no one can even tell what I did. A coworker told me "you look refreshed today." Amazing I couldn't be happier. One last thing: I use these services mindfully... it's HARD being a woman with today's beauty standards. There is a balance between accepting your own imperfections and making small changes that enhance your natural beauty. Not to go on a whole tangent, but if that's also your viewpoint, Dr. Zelinger will help you achieve that. He says things like "natural is always better" and "I think you look great, but what matters is what you think." I love the way he communicates to encourage body positivity. Thank you again Dr. Z!!

I bought a Groupon for microblading and was terrified of the process. After making the appt, Jamila…read morehad me text her pictures of my brows and what I wanted them to look like. Because she was waiting for a special blade to arrive, she wasn't able to do my brows during the first appt, but we got my paperwork filled out. Although I would rather not have driven down to west Philly to only fill out paperwork, I appreciated that she wanted to be cautious and wait for her blade. The groupon included the first session and a touch-up. Jamila applies a numbing cream to help with the process. It is painful but very tolerable. During the 4 week healing process, you are given instructions and balm for your healing brows. About 2 weeks in, I texted Jamila with concerns regarding the faded pigment, but she said it was very normal. She was right, it did come back. Also, my brows grew more which we think was due to the follicles being stimulated by the microblading. Bonus! There was a scheduling issue with my follow-up and Jamila rectified the issue. She also offered a facial or 3rd touch up if I wanted, due to the issue. I haven't utilized the 3rd follow-up as I am very satisfied with my brows. I still use some powder to achieve a certain look but overall, there is minimal touchup needed on my brows, and I am very happy with the results. Tip: Avoid alcohol within 24 hours before. I forgot this before the touch-up which ended up being much more painful than the first appt!

After trying shaving, tweezing, hair removal creams, laser, etc. for over 18 years, I finally decided to try electrolysis. Now, I wish I had just started with electrolysis from the beginning! Lois is very knowledgeable about PCOS/hormonal imbalances. She even mailed professional journal articles to me prior to our first meeting so that I could get more information on what was happening to me...and most importantly, how we could work together to solve the problem of unwanted hair. Yes, it does take time. However, at this point, I wasted 18 years with no permanent results. After going to sessions every other week for six months, I am almost done with my journey! I don't have to spend 15 minutes every morning obsessively plucking and tweezing just to be able to go outside and face the world. As an additional bonus, my skin has drastically improved now that I am not constantly battling painful ingrown hairs. It is definitely worth the price to have my confidence restored and to know that the unwanted hair will be gone - forever.
