| - I bought some deal coupons to have facial and leg laser vein treatments here, and boy do I regret it. Bottom line, they don't seem to know what they're doing, made my problem worse instead of better, and will try to milk you for money.
Here's a detailed description of my experience:
1) Arrived for the first visit and was kept waiting 1.5 hours.
2) Was given a long lecture about how each voucher I'd bought was to treat only one vein, but that what I thought of as one vein was in fact at least a dozen different ones.
3) They then "generously" offered to treat double the number of veins that I'd paid for, which would cover (what looked to me like) two tiny veins. Or I could pay more to have a larger area treated. For a "bargain" price of about $600 (on top of the vouchers), I could have both cheeks done - once. I'd need at least two treatments, and they'd give me the same "deal" the next time.
4) I opted not to take the bargain deal, and instead just have the two facial veins treated, using up all 8 of my vouchers (which were for 2 treatments each). I thought I'd see if it actually worked before committing to anything else.
5) The two tiny veins became much worse, and several new ones appeared directly adjacent. I was told that this would go away. 1 month later, it hadn't. I went back to the clinic, and was told to wait another two weeks. 2 weeks later, there was still no improvement, but when I showed up for the next assessment I was told I'd have to wait at least 30 mins, so I left and never went back.
6) I called a few dermatologists' offices and found out that having both the cheeks and nose treated generally costs $250, and they usually only require one treatment. I chose The Vein Institute of Toronto, and had a treatment today. Will follow up once I see how it turns out!
