Dermal Laser Centre

Had full legs lasered by Natasha on Jun 16. Nothing bad to say except the pain and it it was very expensive even though I had 50% off for half legs (I think I paid something like $ 475 with the discount). My first time getting this done. Good first impression on first day (consult only). Natasha seemed very confident in what she does and was able to answer all my questions. The whole thing literally took 30 min for full legs. It hurt, worse than elastic bands slapping onto your skin. I never took a break or cold ice back or any cream for numbing… I just wanted to get over with it LOL. I did take 2 caps of extra strength Advil, dont know if this helped or not. She was so nice to laser a couple of hairs on my side burn and also roughly did my bikini area, with no extra cost. Went home and applied some moisturizer. You should keep the area moisturized with a very mild moisturizer. Any ways, long story short, it is now Aug 18 and my legs are pretty much still smooth. I do have some hairs that grew back? 20%? but they are much more finer than before !!! I am so pleased and exited about this. Unfortunately, due to being so expensive, I am trying my 2^nd laser at All Body Laser Corp (purchased at Living Social) for $ 298 for 3 laser full legs. I will review when I do that !

The technicians in DT store are professional. The receptionist L**a is good too. Somehow I think she needs to take some courses, like how to communicate with clients, to gain some knowledge. It’s good for her.

I am very happy with the results from this place.
I was looking for a place to do laser hair removal on my underarms, and I was so close to buying the many Groupons for laser hair removal. I’m glad I didn’t.
This place is so clean, and all the staff are very friendly. They have excellent customer service, and phone you with reminders to when you need to do another treatment.
If you are a student, you get a 10% discount, and there are sometimes deals for laser hair treatment on certain months. But even if you had to pay full price, the service cannot be matched. I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of having laser hair removal to check this place out.

Such a pleasure to meet Dr. Fung! Just wow, I was blown away by this Dr.‘s skill in getting to know exactly what my face needed within minutes of having a conversation with me, simply by observing my face. I have to say I’ve never had a more observative Dr, ever! You know how there’s areas of your face that you obsess about, and most people say «no, I don’t notice that, you’re nuts»? Well, Dr. Fung notices those areas even when you forget to tell him that’s an area of concern to you. It’s done in the most helpful, professional manner possible. I am just so impressed with his knowledge, technique, and the affordable pricing. As for results: Within 24 hours, I honestly feel I now look 5 – 7 years younger.

I have always been on the quest for obtaining and maintaining youthful, healthy glowing skin. When my skin began showing signs of dullness and age of course I became concerned and sought out new technology to bring life back in my skin.
About 10 years ago now I had a free consultation with Gina Henderson who is head technician at Dermal Laser Centre. I had other consultations previously with other skin rejuvenation clinics and just didn’t feel the genuine care and attention that Gina showed me with that initial consultation. I felt like I was in good hands and she really took the time with me to explain what the Fotofacial RF and Skin Tightening could do in addressing my concerns with my skin.
I bought a package for my neck originally and had such great results that I decided to buy 6 sessions for my face. My goal was to reduce redness in my skin, get rid of broken capillaries and fade brown spots. I also wanted to stimulate collagen and cellular renewal.
Gina is a consummate professional with skin rejuvenation treatments. She regularly checks in with you as you are having the treatment to address your comfort level. She is highly skilled and experienced in these treatments. For example, using the hand piece when getting around difficult and sensitive areas such as the nose. The treatment is made very comfortable as your skin is being pulsed with light energy.
The results are instantly felt and seen! It’s really incredible. Your skin feels tight and the broken capillaries have evaporated! There is a noticeable immediate glow to the skin, it literally feels energized.
I have been seeing Gina for subsequent maintenance treatments and the results are fabulous. I can tell you that she really cares about you getting the perfect result for your skin. I am 49 now and these skin rejuvenation treatments keep my skin radiant and leave me feeling confident in my skin.
It’s a small investment for beautiful skin and having an expert technician such as Gina makes all the difference.

The best in the city, been coming back for years. From the professional, kind and respectful service, to the fair prices and doctors this place is the best. Don’t go anywhere else unless you want to be schmoozed and up-​sold on things you don’t need.

Went in for simple botox touch up! Loooove it. Super friendly, honest, and knowledgeable doctor.
Inexpensive price per unit AND honest treatment. I found out my previous botox doctor was hustling me for 10 extra units every time!
As soon as I can move my forehead — I will be back.

I highly, highly recommend Dermal Laser Centre on Davie downtown! I did laser hair removal (underarm & full bikini/​full monty). Had 8 treatments from 2007 – 2012:
2007: Feb, Mar, May, June, Sept
2008: Sept
2011: Nov
2012: Feb
Get Gina if you can – she’s an angel, totally amazing. I would trust my baby’s life with Gina! The fact that I don’t have a baby is beside the point.
Before I chose an establishment I spent hours researching online. This was when Unilocal wasn’t around so I had to rely on the Discover Vancouver Forum. I’m usually very paranoid about anything medical, and since I wanted to do full bikini I was even more frightened. I just had this horrifying fear that they would accidentally laser and maim my clitoris and that would be beyond fucking traumatizingly depressing for me.
After reading all the reviews, researching wiki, professional reports and medical journals on laser hair removal, checking out the companies’ website and calling them, I visited 3 of them that had the best reviews for consultation. It’s funny cuz though Dermal Laser’s just 3 blocks from my home, in the beginning I didn’t even consider it cuz I thought it’s DT so it must be more expensive & people who work there would be snobbish & annoying, but after reading reviews and talking to the owner on the phone (who was a total sweetheart and spent a lot of time explaining how laser works to me) I felt like I could trust them.
It was the last one I interviewed and as soon as I had my consultation I knew that was the one, cuz Gina was so thoroughly informative and loving, the equipment looked more high-​end, and the price was actually cheaper than the other 2 places I checked out (one was in Burnaby and the other in Vancouver).
I bought a package of $ 1750 for 5 treatments in 2007. After the 6^th time it got cheaper (half price). Then I had very very little hair left, and maybe I’d shave once a month just to get the few stray hairs. Then end of 2011 I decided to just get all of them so I can throw away razors forever. The last time (8^th) I went back I had literally 5 tiny hairs left in total for underarms so it’s prolly my last time. The technician was actually persuading me not to spend the extra money if I didn’t need to – I love that! Nobody there has ever tried to up-​sell me, which is something that annoys every consumer.
I used the Diode laser with 810 nanometer wavelength. I think Diode is great for Asian & Caucasian skin, YAG is better for black skin cuz it goes deeper. I am Asian and I actually didn’t have a lot of hair to start with. I think Asians are «blessed» because we have darker hair on fairer skin and the laser gets attracted by darker color so it works perfectly.
The results, like I said, are fabulous. I’ve done bikini waxing before and god I wish no pain like that on even George BUSH. No pun intended. And with waxing it grows out again in a couple of weeks. And then you are stuck with short coarse hair. You can’t shave it cuz wax wouldn’t work if you shave it, and then you are stuck in limbo because you’ve got tiny coarse hair and the whole point of waxing is having smooth skin so it’s not irritating. Well there’s also the cleaner hygienic factor so that’s alright. But you still gotta go wax once every few weeks.
Speaking of pain. Yes it could be painful, but you can take precautions.
Get Emla cream. Lots of it. It’s a numbing cream you can buy at London Drugs. I use up one tube every singe treatment. It’s worth it. The first time I just put on a thin layer and like 45 minutes before my treatment because I slept in and it hurt a lot. Put on like a super super thick layer like icing on chocolate brownie and start putting it on an hour and half before your treatment because it takes 1 hour for it to start working. Those times when I didn’t procrastinate & put it on an hour and half before my appointment, the pain is very minimal.
Gina (or whoever does your treatment) will also give you an ice pack to apply on the area before and after the treatment to cool it down. There’s also a great machine they have that blows cool air onto the area throughout the whole treatment to help numb the pain. With the 3 combined (and thick thick Emla cream), the pain’s minimal.
Every single time I was there every staff member was professional and friendly.
Like I said, Gina is extremely professional and caring. Needless to say it’s important and comforting to know that the person holding a laser gun pointed at your vagina cares about you. There was not one moment when I was with her when I felt worried or anxious because she is so gentle, meticulous, and extremely professional.
The last two times I went back for touch-​ups, I had different technicians doing the laser treatment. They were extremely professional, meticulous, and caring.
I am SO HAPPY with what they’ve done and so happy with every single experience I’ve had with them. Absolutely amazingness!

I went to Dermal for laser hair removal (bikini) and was so pleased with how well it worked that I booked for my underarms as well.
I have friends who bought packages at other salons using groupon and other daily deal sites and have had no results so I was happy that I paid a reputable place to do it with actual results!
From first consultation through to the treatment, the service is great. I highly recommend Dermal Laser!

Time for a touch up!
Got an appointment next day for a bit o botox.
The office was bight and as clean as last time and the Dr was friendly and did the injections quickly.
I don’t need much, and he never tries to up sell me on more then i need, or on any skincare (which is such a plus as i HATE the up sell!)
I asked about fillers. I got some Radiance about a year ago wasn’t really happy with the results.(Didn’t see much difference and only lasted 3 months, not 9 like it claimed)
He took the time to explain the difference between a few products and was told that it wasn’t just me who was not happy with the Radiance and that is was no longer used by them.
I also got a price quote on the Juviderm so now i can save up for that as i smile a lot !!

I just finished up a course of laser hair removal, and I am very, very pleased … I got a GREAT result! Granted, I have fair skin and dark hair, so I am the «best» candidate for laser hair removal, so it may be more difficult/​unpleasant/​expensive for others, but I am THRILLED!
I found both Cindy and Katia to be exceptionally professional and kind (even considering that they were doing painful things … the laser does hurt), and I felt that my health and safety were a priority. Also, to second Foodie– I didn’t get any up-​sell, which impressed me.
I had checked out a few other places, and either I got serious up-​sell or I didn’t feel safe.
If you’re considering this service, you should definitely talk with Dermal Laser.

I booked an appointment in person, and the receptionist was super friendly, helpful and I felt welcomed. She didn’t try to upsell me anything or pressure me into buying packages like most spa’s. So I booked a microdermbrasion treatment.
Fast forward 2 weeks later for my appoinment, I was greeted by another receptionist, she was very welcoming, smiled alot, and made sure me and my friend were comfortable.
The spa was super clean, our technician, Cindy (also the Office Manager), was the best technician I’ve ever had! She had this personality that was so genuine. She didn’t pressure my friend and I into buying or «upselling» products to us. The treatment was gentle yet effective. She even showed us the dead skin cells that came out of the treatment. She explained each step of the way, and didn’t critize our skin. I’ve had technicians in the past critize while I was getting my treatment done! Cindy knew what she was doing.
My skin is super sensitive, but with her expertise, and the awesome products she used on my skin, my skin was glowing. Oh, and the fact she used gloves during our treatment, made me feel they really do care about hygiene and cleaniness.
Everything about this place is wonderful, the washrooms were clean, the lobby, waiting area, treatment room etc… nothing but spotless! Thanks for providing us with a fantastic spa experience, it should be like this at every spa!

Highly professional skin-​treatment centre. It is spotlessly clean, bright white and clinical in appearance, which I find reassuring. The treatments are outlined thoroughly during consultation (I had a series of photofacials done to treat rosacea with good results) and any side effects are explained in layman’s terms.
Dermal Laser has several locations across the lower mainland, and it is fairly easy to get an appointment last-​minute.

Okay, if you are even thinking of having laser hair removal done, you should consider, above all else, the safety record of the place that will laser your hair off your body. This is, after all, not something that just anyone should be doing to you. So, having done some research on equipment and on the extent to which staff of various laser centres are trained, I picked Dermal Laser, and I’m glad I did. All of the technicians I’ve encountered are very professional, and it is evident that they are well-​trained as they take their work seriously and do a very good job. Moreover, as far as I can understand, the equipment used by Dermal Laser is very up-​to-​date and high-​end. It might be easy to get overwhelmed by Dermal Laser when you first call, as they have four locations, and at first you call a central number to book your consultation, but once you get over that, I think this is a good choice for laser hair removal. This place is definitely more expensive than some, but I think this is a case of getting what you pay for. After all, I think I’d be a bit suspect of a place that offered to remove my hair permanently for only $ 25 a session, wouldn’t you? So, please save yourself getting burned (literally), and think about coming here.
