Laser Hair Removal

During my twenties, the hair on my back and chest began to grow excessively. Every year more and more hair appeared. Since I have always been very fit and often go shirtless, I started to shave these areas regularly. This caused unsightly acne and made my skin very prickly to the touch, which my girlfriend hated.

I tried electrolysis, which was a very slow and costly process with minimal results. I tried waxing, which was extremely painful, caused even more acne than shaving, and only lasted two to three weeks. I was so unhappy with my skin that my self-esteem suffered.

At age thirty-three, I was introduced to Julie Hoff and the GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. Julie was so understanding and honest about laser hair removal. She fully explained the possible side effects and was very honest about what I could and couldn't expect as my final results. She was also completely straightforward and upfront about the total cost of treatments.

During treatment, Julie was professional and had a wonderful “bedside manner.” After just one treatment, I didn't see a single hair grow back for two full months! After that, the hair that did grow back was about forty percent less than before.

Now, after only five treatments, there is almost no hair on my chest and back. My skin is baby smooth and hair and acne free. My self-esteem has increased immensely, and I can take off my shirt without embarrassment. Laser hair removal has been the most effective and permanent method I have tried!

I strongly recommend Julie Hoff and the GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. to anyone who wants to be hair-free, carefree.

Laser Hair Removal

My hair is very dark and coarse. After years of stubble and “five o'clock shadow,” I decided to take the plunge and came to GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. for laser hair removal. We started with my underarms and bikini line.

The typical duration is about six treatments, one treatment every six to eight weeks. After my first treatment, there was a very noticeable difference. Much of my unwanted hair was gone, creating a very smooth, clean look. Subsequent treatments made me look even better.

As far as pain goes, you can purchase a tube of numbing cream for around $20. I applied the cream about two hours before the treatment, and it made a huge difference. I have very little tolerance of pain, and with the cream I didn't feel a thing.

I recommend that anyone interested in permanent hair removal schedule a consultation with Julie Hoff at GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. She is a registered nurse, who is thoroughly professional with a great bedside manner. She walks you through the process step by step.

My results are terrific. No more stubble.

Laser Hair Removal

Now that my laser sessions are complete—and I am hair-free in all the places I wanted to be—I just wanted to say Thank You!  This is truly the best thing I ever did for myself. 

I no longer have to shave or wax my bikini line or my underarms. I found the laser treatments only slightly more painful than waxing, and only had to have treatment once every 8 weeks instead of every 3 weeks with waxing.  Best of all—now that my series of laser treatments are complete, I never need to go for any type of hair removal again. I'm hair free and loving it!

I had waxed for years and always liked how my underarms and bikini line looked after waxing but always hated the in between stage—with unsightly hair and stubble that wasn't quite long enough to get waxed, but was certainly long enough to be seen!  I had to shave in between waxings if I wanted to wear sleeveless clothes, and then of course I would end up with stubble the very next day.

Now, thanks to the wonderful laser treatment GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. provided, I have that clean, hairless look ALL THE TIME. 

Thanks again Julie!

Microdermabrasion

I am a middle-aged, fair-skinned redhead who spent too much time in the sun. I recently completed a series of microdermabrasion treatments at GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd., and I am extremely pleased with the results. There were dark spots and freckles on my face that are gone. My skin color is even, not blotchy as it was before my treatments, and my skin feels soft and smooth. I have had other skin treatments, and this was by far the most pleasant. Julie is a true professional, and GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. offers terrific services in a comfortable, relaxing, and caring atmosphere.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

I have been receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments at GOLDCOAST medspa Ltd. over the last eighteen months, and the results have been marvelous. My forehead lines have completely disappeared as have the frown lines between my eyebrows and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. Additionally, I had noticeable wrinkling on my cheeks beneath my eyes, and with the BOTOX® Cosmetic these wrinkles are gone, too.

I was reluctant to get into BOTOX® Cosmetic at first because, although I was sure I would like the results, I thought I would be returning for treatments every two months and that it would be too expensive. I have been able to go up to six months between treatments with only the tiniest bit of wrinkles re-appearing .

I recently attended my thirty-fifth class reunion, which is a story I won't share here, but people could not stop commenting on how young I looked.

I am more satisfied with Julie's BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment than I could have possibly imagined. I would highly, highly recommend BOTOX® Cosmetic as it is administered at GOLDCOAST medspa, Ltd. to any woman (or man) who wants to get rid of lines and wrinkles and look noticeably younger.

It is practically painless, with no side effects other than you will get many compliments on how good you look.
