They also have a medical centre there with doctors on site, which was important to me. I'm glad I didn't let the yelp reviews deter me because I had a really good experience.\n\nI live in downtown Toronto, but I've gone to a few \"med spas\" in my area for consultations to remove my acne scars and I couldn't find one that I had confidence in. Many of these med spas recommend lasers treatments as a \"one-size-fits-all\" for most skin problems. The staff often don't seem very educated and most of the time there are no doctors on site.\n\nSo I did some research on my own and decided I wanted a TCA peel. I called to make an appointment and I got one the very next day. They told me I was booked for a consultation and I had the option of going forward with the procedure if I wanted to. I felt no pressure to do it at all.\n\nThe location is beautiful, definitely feels like a luxury to be there. The reception were average, definitely not rude. They gave me forms to fill out and I returned them when finished. I waited in the waiting room for a few minutes when my friendly aesthetician came to get me. \n\nI had already spoken to her on the phone a day earlier because I requested to speak to her as I was so nervous about getting a TCA peel.\n\nOn the day of my appointment I was so scared I probably asked her about 15 questions about the procedure. She was very knowledgable and answered my questions thoroughly. She didn't sugarcoat anything or try to convince me it was a good idea. I was not pressured at all to go through with it and felt like if I had decided not to get it, my choice would have been respected.\n\nI did decide to go through with the peel. The aesthetician told me what she was going to do step-by-step and told me what the pain would feel like etc. It hurt a lot! My face \"frosted\", which means the peel penetrated my skin well. I received thorough after care instructions emphasizing the importance of protecting my skin to get good results and not get sun burned.\n\nThe price was $150 plus tax which I find very reasonable.\n\nCurrently I am still going through the peeling process. I'm not sure what my results will be but I am very happy with the service I received from this centre!"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . . .
