Bio Skin Laser

Really nice and clean place with attentive and professional stuff who make me feel comfortable every time I come here. I purchased a package of 6 laser hair removal sessions, already had 4 and I’m quite happy with results, it does work! Definitely recommend.

My face is radiant and JuVaShape technology is really amazing! I enjoyed the JuVaShape treatment and experienced no downtime and virtually no pain. Can’t wait to continue with my treatment regimen!

Bunch of thieves
I’ve been here over two years and half my hair is still there. They give me another appointment and once I show up they tell me my last session expired last time and I have to pay another $ 100 for the session, while I’ve been doing the same body parts for over two years. And she dares to talk to me with a tone
Never go there, worst service ever

I bought 8 microdermabrasion sessions on groupon. saw mixed reviews for this place so not sure what to expect. The price looked good so i decided to give it a try. I went to my first appointment last week and it was awful. I agree with the reviewer Julie from 5÷7÷2015. she was right the machine does NOTHING. The difference was I didn’t even get sand spread on my face. The lady said the machine that spreads out sand was not working. huh?! she left facial cream in my hair, i can safely assume she had no idea what she was doing. I was also asked to pay $ 15 tax ?!
Waste of my time, NOT going back. The one star is for the cozy looking reception area and zero star is not an option anyway.

UPDATE: So I was offered to get either a chemical peel or photo facial for free so I decided to try this place again. When I entered, there was no one at the front desk. 15 minutes later one of the workers came out to speak to us. She asked for my name and if I was paying. I told her that it was for free and she looked at me confused. She left and came back to ask me what I wanted to get. I said a photo facial. She said my skin was too dark and that a chemical peel would be better. Mind you, I had been here before and the same lady told me that a chemical peel would do nothing for my skin and that a photo facial would be better. But now she’s telling me that my skin is too dark? My skin is pretty light so are they saying only fair skin tones can get this treatment? I was so confused but I said whatever, it was free and the photo facial didn’t do much for me anyways.
The chemical peel lasts for about a week. It’s recommended that you stay away from the sun. I’m on day 6 and my face isn’t peeling as much now. I bled a little on my cheeks and chin while peeling. I do see a difference in my skin but who wants their face to peel for a whole week. It’s inconvenient for the customer. I do not recommend this place. At least not for facials.

I am happy to say that after 6 zerona treatments I lost 2 inches in my ABS. Totally worth the money. I RECOMMEND this service to anyone that has a problem. I will try using on other body parts too.

I really like the ladies at Bioskin Laser. I was hooked after I booked a velashape package, and now I’m doing venus freeze. I have an athletic body, and work our regularly, but I wanted to smooth out a few dimples.

Beautiful place with excellent customer attention.
Everyone who works here is very attentive and knowledgeable and provides a great quality service.
The Venus Freeze treatment is very effective and Results are visible after only 3 or 4 sessions.
All in all I had a great experience and I would recommend this place to friends.
I will definitely come back, and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Bio Skin Laser is the ultimate spot for body reshaping.
Don’t go anywhere else. This place has a friendly staff and phenomenal treatments. They have the latest technology (Venus legacy, freeze, etc).
The receptionist always tries to squeeze you in for an appt even if they are busy.

I purchased a deal through Lifebooker for a year of LHR and have had two sessions for far. I love how professional and knowledgeable everyone at BioSkin is. By far the best place I have gone for LHR and I have gone to several places.
Shani is great, she is constantly checking to make sure I am comfortable and not feeling any pain. She has also provided me with great advice and information on other services and skin care products.
I would highly recommend BioSkin to anyone.

I love this it was my first time doing laser ever. I started last summer paid for a year of service form a site that offered deals, for $ 269 on small areas. I didn’t no what to expect at frist. I didn’t see results at frist but later on started to see a little difference. The laser is not as painful it’s all in your head after the frist 3 sessions, I got use to it. There is different levels to adjust the machine, the lower the less pain the higher the more pain. I like and Andrea she was the best specialist there and made sure she took her time to cover the hairy areas. lol… I have nothing bad to say about here it was a good experience. I didn’t really lose the hair like I thought I would but they said I have to buy another package to come back. Also They should offer some wine or soda when you’re there tho, just a thought…

Made an appointment for a vi peel. They called the day before confirming my appointment and then when I got there the next day, they told me they didn’t have the peels in stock. So they knew that I would be making the trip to their office, just so I couldn’t get my treatment. They then offered a mere $ 15 off the treatment if I come back when they have it. They are so disorganized and there are 100 other places that you can go to that will have better service. If they can’t get this right, imagine what kind of mistakes they’ll do to your face.

This is my first time at Bioskin Laser. Shani was great, assessed and treated my skin accordingly. Good ambience and clean.

I just had my first treatment of Zerona, followed up by the Venus Legacy. The treatment was painless, easy and comfortable.
I had the loveliest technician name Shani, not only was she super kind, she was personable and extremely knowledgeable putting my mind at ease to any questions I may have had.
The décor is the perfect mix between medical immaculate and trendy spa. I highly recommend Bio Skin Laser and Shani! Can’t wait for my next treatment!

I bought a deal for this place on lifebooker, $ 269 for a year of laser for any three small areas. From the loot:
«An esthetician uses a state-​of-​the-​art laser to damage hair follicles, preventing future growth. Ladies can choose from the following areas: Brazilian bikini, bikini line, underarms, front lower leg, back lower leg, outer thighs, upper arms, forearms, upper lips, cheeks, chin, sideburns, back of neck, fingers, tops of hand, toes, or tops of feet.»
When I called to verify my appointment the woman on the phone informed me that each leg is considered one area. Now i’ve been getting laser treatments done for awhile and i’ve gotten treated on both my arms. But hello, Bio Skin Laser, legs normally come in pairs. Would have been nice if there was some clarity before buying.

I am a transgender woman who has been a customer of BioSkin Laser for over two years, since October 2013, having had 15+ hair removal sessions. I started with my face, and went on to purchase other packages. The entire staff has been courteous over my entire experience, even before I started openly presenting as a female, and I have also glowingly referred my own friends to start their own sessions.
BioSkin’s offices are clean and comfortable, and they have always been tremendously flexible with my appointments. I have never had issues calling in the morning and scheduling an appointment, usually within 48hrs, often even later that same day if I know I’m passing through the neighborhood. Having done a fair bit of research prior to beginning my treatment, BioSkin’s prices, especially with packages and various web coupons, come out to be one of the most affordable laser centers I have found in the city.
BioSkin does a great job, whether you are trans or cisgender. Quite literally, I would not be the woman I am today without their services.

After a few days of research, talking to people and calling places I decided to purchase this deal today from Bioskinlaser. I decided to purchase 6 sessions of Brazilian bikini. Pretty good deal compared to all the places I looked up today. I talked to Jalisa and Sofia today and they both seemed very nice and knowledgable about the treatment. They use the Diode laser which is great for light and dark skinned people. This machine is one of the best on the market for laser hair removal from the research I have done. I was worried that because of the deal they would be super booked up but they had spots available as early as Tuesday which is pretty good for my schedule. Will see how it goes, I am very excited to start my sessions :)

As a transgender woman, laser hair removal tends to be a priority. You’ll be shopping around for places for… A while to find that mix of affordable and nice staff, and it can become a chore to get a necessary procedure done.
Not so much at BioSkin. I’m greeted by wonderful and aware customers who are dedicated to their craft, treat me great, and who show results, which is the most important aspect. I’m three treatments in, and going onto the fourth, and it’s been such a pleasure to watch the hair burn away.
That said, laser is not exactly a pleasurable experience, but for the results and the staff, I can’t stop coming back. I plan on getting my legs done here next, and as a transgender woman, I can assure you, that’s a lotta leg to take down.
The location is convenient. Right near Grand Central, so any BK, Queens, or east side access is easy. It’s really good.

Bioskin often offer deals on sites like Groupon and Lifebooker, but in my experience it has not been worth the grief of dealing with them when there are many other options on both sites at similar price points.
If you’re curious what really happened:
I showed up for my 5:30pm appointment and was told that I was a no-​show for my 5pm appointment. I know the appointment was made for 5:30pm because 1) it is confirmed by my own calendar records, which I made with the receptionists in person when I make the appointment, 2) I can’t leave the office earlier than 5pm and it takes at least 20 – 30 min for me to get down there so I would never request 5pm, and the other 5 appointments in my 6-​session package had all been scheduled for the same time or later.
The woman at the front desk, who has treated me before and that I was friendly with prior to this, was belligerent from the moment I came in.
She said Bioskin should have sent me an e-​mail confirmation. That was news to me as I had never gotten any e-​mails from Bioskin Laser, so she checked my account and I was told there was a mistake in THEIR OWN RECORDS which had spelled my e-​mail as «stepo-​» something instead of my name, which is StepHanie.
She admitted it was not my fault that whoever put my contact information in the computer made a mistake, but that I should have received a call the day before that would have at least left a voicemail confirming the time. I told her I did not get the voicemail until after their office was closed the night before, but that it did not confirm the time of the appointment, and even offered to play it for her. She became angry, refused to listen to it, and told me several more times it’s still my fault I got the time wrong.
Since it is recommended that I get my treatments evenly spaced, I asked if I could wait and see if the next appointment shows up, I was told that she would absolutely not treat me that day under ANY circumstances. I then asked if I could get a partial refund for the remainder of the package, since she refuses to treat me and I will need to get the treatment somewhere else that day. (What do you suppose her answer was?)
When I asked to speak to a manager, she gave me a generic Bioskin Laser business card and told me to call. I did — it went to the office we were standing in, which is both unhelpful and extremely rude.
I finally left when she began shouting at me (I did not raise my voice, there were 1 other technician and 2 other customers in the office who should be able to confirm this) and that if I didn’t leave immediately, she would call the police.
Let me clarify that she is a large, overweight, much older woman, and I am a 120-​lb «adult» who has never so much as dealt with a bug by myself (my boyfriend, parents, and every roommate I’ve ever had can confirm this.) I don’t know the name of the round, late-​middle-​aged brunette woman who treated me like this, but in prior conversation I believe she had mentioned her Romanian family, and that she had been with the company for a few years, moving with them from their previous location on the West side.
Scared for my safety, I left and called Chase to ask what my options were for dealing with the problem since it had been on my Chase Sapphire card. I was assured that Account Services would deal with the woman/​Bioskin and that I should not put my life at risk to go back there. They finally called me back over a month later and told me the vendor had said I, and I quote, «destroyed the office» and was therefore not entitled to refund.
I told Chase the office had a security camera and this was obviously a false accusation. They said they were very sorry but are not allowed to use video footage to handle a claim, only written documents. My only options for recourse was to either send them a copy of Bioskin’s return policy (I checked their website, they do not have one) or deal directly with the firm.
When I called to see how far they were willing to take their lie, they refused to either give me a refund, or sign a written affidavit saying that I indeed trash their office and the events happened as they described. My boss, who generously offered to be my pro bono lawyer, suggested we take them to small claims court.
Although the indignation of being accused of something so absurd made it very tempting to take these people to court, and sue them for more than the money they have stolen for me, I decided it was not worth my time for a $ 33 refund. I just hope that others will heed this review as a warning and avoid the months-​long, tortuous ordeal I have and continue to be put through.

I’ve been coming here along with my mom for body treatments. We have tried the vela shape and the Venus freeze as well. Both services or I but I admit the vela shape hurts more, I do it on my thighs, it has helped. I had done my Brazilian bikini layering years ago and hired them here to do a refresher and do some parts I haven’t done down there before. It has been good so far and I see the difference with three down and three to go, the entire staff is great. No one gave me a discount for my review.EVER. I don’t believe in that, needless to say… they never offered or asked. Only negative is that they aren’t open Saturday, nice option is that they are open Sunday. Great deals being offered. As you can see from Unilocal.I’m real!!!

So I waited a while to leave my review because I wanted to make sure my service really worked. Well it did. I started laser hair removal back in April 2015, I’ve had 4 treatments so far with Andrea. She is really great! Love her. She makes me feel so comfortable given that she works on my brazilian area. Could be awkward, but it’s not. A bit of discomfort, but you have to expect that. But it is 100x better than waxing, I don’t think I will ever go back to waxing. Thanks to Andrea I think I shaved my bikini line about 3 times this whole summer. It is truly amazing. I was very skeptical of laser, but now that I know it works, I think I’m going to start on other parts of my body and get ready for next summer. If you’re looking for a longer lasting hair removal, give them a try. Their waiting room is beautiful, and everyone there is so kind and patient.

I bought the Lifebooker for the year of removal. I’ve been doing laser treatments for years in CA and have always had success– the hair should fall out in about 2 weeks. For the first time in ~3 years, the laser treatment was ineffective and I saw no change in hair growth. The laser machine they used was definitely different than what I used in my prior office (which was candela gentlelase– looked it up just to check), so perhaps their technology doesn’t work on me? Or perhaps they simply use an ineffective type of laser? Either way, the hair is still there. I plan to try again and request a higher setting on my next visit and will update with the results.
On a more positive note, the booking was easy (online!) and the people there were really great. Nurse made me feel comfortable, and the office has a rather no frills (in and out within 20 minutes) vibe despite being aesthetically pretty– which is actually my preference. The stars are for ease of the treatment, but the low rating is for the ineffective (so far) treatment. Stay tuned! Really hoping it works and this time was just a fluke…

There is nothing but good things to say about Bioskin Laser! I have been coming here for almost a year now for microdermabrasion treatments! Since then, I have seen a major difference in my skin. The oil production and break out issues I was dealing with have greatly reduced. My skin has this amazing glow and it feels/​looks healthier.
I really appreciate that BioSkin Laser honors my time as a customer. I always try to make sure I am on time for my appointments and they are always ready to see me when I arrive. I have gone to other medical clinics that make you wait 30mins to 1hr after your scheduled appointment time and I do not have that issue with BioSkin Laser. Also, if I am running late they are understanding and will reschedule my appointment.
I am like so in love with Andrea! I seriously requested that only she does my microderms because she is so good! I have had treatments done by the other ladies and they are awesome as well but Andrea has my heart… and face! :) I really like that after my microderm, she massages my face and then applies a face mask on my skin. She also massages my face again when she is applying the moisturizer. AWESOME!
I would greatly recommend BioSkin Laser for any of your beauty/​health needs. I have been a loyal customer for a while and I have no compliants. Also, my silly pictures shows how much fun I have getting my microderms!

I have busy schedule, it’s very hard to make an appointment. I tried to talk to find solution as I purchased package– that’s what it is, there are so many people — was an answer to me.
They use different laser machine which as they say suppose to be better, but it’s been 3appointments with them and I had two before and I still don’t see great result.
Disappointed and definitely won’t be coming back.

I bought what I thought was an amazing deal on Groupon for 8 microdermabrasion sessions at BioSkin Laser. I had a very positive previous experience with microderms at another place, and was looking forward to my treatments.
Well, the microderm machine they have at BioSkin does literally nothing. I didn’t even feel it do anything to my skin during the procedure (which I did at the other place), and I certainly didn’t see any difference afterward (which I did at the other place). Honestly the only thing their machine does is spread sand all over your face.
This was the first time ever that I contacted Groupon for a refund for the remaining visits (I just couldn’t imagine going back (AND paying tips!) for 7 more sessions of nothing). I am extremely grateful that I got it.

Based on a referral from a friend, I’d purchased an iCoupon for a year’s worth of laser removal sessions (which was really just 9 sessions — they must be following a different calendar).
With each visit, they used a different machine, claiming this one was better than the last. After about the 3^rd or 4^th visit I complained that I hadn’t seen any results. Of course, their response was that’s just when I should be seeing results!
I finished up the sessions and don’t plan on going back (and neither is my friend who referred me). The hair is growing back patchy and looks terrible.
