Laserium Vancouver Med Spa

I came here a few years ago when the whole laser lipo was the trend. It did help a bit, however, honestly it was nothing more than a gimmicky trend. It takes a long time for it to work and by the time you invest in about 20 sessions you might as well have done the real thing (which I did).

Its kinda strange seeing all the mixed reviews in here. My experience with Tatiana was pretty good. I got my service off groupon and decided to try it.
Trying to schedule an appointment was the only problem, Tatiana is the only person working so when she is away, it is impossible to schedule an appointment. After a bunch of phone calls, she returns my message after a week or so, turns out she was on vacation.
She was really nice, professional and easy going. I didn’t have to pay for other unnecessary add ons as some have said, she wasn’t pushy at all. I only had to pay 5% for the tax that’s it.
All in all, it was fun to try but I probably wouldn’t do it again unless I had extra cash lying around.

I bought a groupon for laser and your supposed to go back after a certain number of weeks each appointment because of the hair growth cycle. I could never get an appointment around the right time because they are so booked up.
Also the scheduling is very unorganized. One of the girls actually called me and told me to come early for my appointment because they double booked me with someone else and whoever got there first would have their turn first! It was very unprofessional. And this happened to me twice. I had to reschedule an appointment one time and i literally had to call them 5 times in one day because no one was answering the phone.
One of my appointments i was burned by the laser because the heat was too high. Luckily the girl i had after that turned the heat down and was very gentle and made sure she turned it down if it hurt too much.

The people there are great, however, their way of booking appointments is a HUGE mess! Two sessions ago, I walked in, and I told them I booked an appointment for a Lipolaser and ALSO a laser on a large part. I was so angry when they told me that I wasn’t booked in for the LipoLaser. CLEARLY, I have spoken to the receptionist who booked me in and confirmed that I was booked for both of those lasers. But in the end, OLGA fitted me in for both the lipolaser and the laser on large part. What made me angrier was the fact that I took time off work to go to this appt and get everything done. So after this session, Olga suggested to book the next session for me. I wanted BOTH lipolaser AND the laser on large part done at the same time as well. I SPECIFICALLY asked to do both just to ‘kill two birds with one stone’, considering I don’t always have time to come back. Olga said okay, and she helped me book a day for both lasers to work. So that was that, appt confirmed with HER and also on my phone calendar. So that was two sessions ago.
Soooo. I just had my last session on May 8^th 2012 (took time off work to come to this appt), which was supposed to be booked for Lipolaser and laser on large part. I walked in, and AGAIN, OLGA helped me, and guess what? Another appt booking failed. apparently on their schedule, I was booked in only for the Laser on large part. At this point, I am furious! I feel so bad for Olga, cause I was giving her shit. I couldn’t believe this happened the second time. However, Olga was able to fit me in again. She went and spoke to the receptionist, and she told me that they had switched one of my lasers to a different day WITHOUT MY CONSENT! I just couldn’t believe this. I don’t understand. THIS IS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! VERY UNORGANIZED. I know it wasn’t Olga’s fault at all. I think they should do something about the booking system, cause this current one is sure as hell not working at all. How can this happen to me TWICE in a row? ! It’s ridiculous!

I bought a groupon for a few sessions of laser hair removal. I’ve been to two sessions so far.
The technician was ok. She was professional.
The biggest concerns I have are:
1. Cleanliness. For a place that offers esthetics services and laser hair removal, I expect it to be more clean. The towels that they use to line the bed does not seem to be changed, and a few times I’ve noticed stains on them. Eeww.
2. Impossible to reach. They only have one phone number for you to call to make an appointment. It took me multiple calls on three separate days to make my first appointment. As of writing this review, it’s also been 3 days of multiple calls to attempt to make my third appointment. I have yet to hear back.
In summary: I would not go back after my groupon is used up.

I had quite a positive experience at Laserium. The technician was very helpful and answered all my questions and I found the place to be clean and well run. The lipolaser procedure was pretty easy actually — I just lay back for about a half hour and then it was all over, no discomfort. I plan on returning to do more sessions. If you’re debating giving it a try I’d do so and recommend this spa.

I just had lipolaser done at Laserium. I’ve never done this before and I have problem spots that just won’t go away with exercise and diet. The technician warned me prior that different areas of the body respond differently. For instance, on the stomach, results are very good and fat loss is usually an inch per treatment. The laser works by breaking down the fat which then is released into the blood stream and either metabolized by the body or leaves upon urination. The fat loss is permanent; however, she warned me not to eat junk food regardless.
The introductory price was $ 199 for two sessions and a package of 6 is $ 799.
After being measured by the technician, I laid down on the table with two paddles between my knees — two on each — which are my issue spots. I did this for 15 minutes. I could feel a warming sensation the entire time which wasn’t uncomfortable at all. After the first 15, the paddles were moved to other knee areas for another 15 minutes.
After all was said and done, the technician measured me. I lost a half inch per side this first session. I am truly amazed. Apparently, the laser is still inside of your skin and you will continue to see results. I have booked another appointment for this week and if all goes well, I will buy a package that includes 6 sessions.
Overall, I am very pleased and I hope the results continue.

I also bought two Groupons, like Tracy, but I have to say I had a very different experience. I began seriously working out and eating better last November, and thought this might help move things along. Initially skeptical, I figured the Groupon price was good enough that I wouldn’t feel ripped off if it didn’t work.
Well let me tell you — it worked for me! I lost an inch off each thigh and an inch off my hips, but more importantly, my cellulite was significantly reduced. Wow.
The technician made me a similar offer to Tracy (I’d assume), but wasn’t pushy in the least. She was honest, and said it would take about eight more treatments to see a big result, and I believe her — this isn’t plastic surgery, so I wasn’t expecting an overnight miracle.
So, I can’t say this will work for everyone, but I suspect that when used in addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, you should see some kind of results.
I will definitely be going back for a few more sessions!

Mea Culpa, I guess this is my fault for succumbing to the Media-​induced pressures to look as perfect as possible.
I saw the groupon for laserlipo and thought «Hey, it’s such a good deal, let’s give it a shot and see if it works».
I bought two groupons and hoped I was buying two inches off my mid-​section.
Turns out I bought two groupons to lie on a table, with some paddles strapped to me, while I awkwardly chat to the «technician».
Truly, it’s non-​invasive, and occasionally I would feel a vague pulsing in my stomach, but other than that, it felt like nothing. And did nothing.
The technician (who, while absolutely sweet and kind and a pleasure to speak with) immediately launched into her required spiel on how it takes at least 4 procedures to see results and she looked at my stomach (which isn’t BAD, it’s just not great either) and said «You’ll probably need 20 treatments». Uh, thanks. She wasn’t exactly pushy, but I was certainly getting «buy buy buy!» vibes from her. She was more than willing to give me a «deal», and let me buy my next 2 treatments (which are normally $ 200/​session) for $ 100. Somehow that just doesn’t sit right…
It didn’t necessarily encourage me either, to know she was doing treatments herself, and she was more than rotund.
I have 1 treatment left, which I will be having in 2 weeks. If I lose anything now, I’m going to chalk that up, more to my new lifestyle changes, as opposed to this «magic» treatment.
