Hoboken Medical Aesthetics

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews, I had a great experience. Got my laser hair removal off Groupon. I had received 5 sessions previously at another spa and needed more sessions to fully rid of the hair. The hair is almost completely gone. People must remember it takes more than 5 sessions to fully remove the hair. It should be called laser hair reduction so people dont think 5 sessions will fully remove the hair.

This place is absolutely ridiculous. My friend and I thought we hit the jackpot when we found a groupon for 6 underarm sessions at a great price. From the beginning it was absolutely phenomenal. Neither of us could stop raving about how it was the best choice we had ever made…
Except following about 6 weeks of our final session, both of us are experiencing the same exact results… Hair is back like crazy.
Now I am well aware that 6 sessions is not a guarantee of hair free forever, and it is typical to need more sessions, but the fact that through the duration of the treatments we both experienced perfect results, and upon completion we are basically back to square one, I think that speaks for itself.
They advertise that a DOCTOR performs all procedures, and that is a complete lie. Although the technician that did our procedures was probably the best part of the experience, she was very helpful and informative, at no point did any doctor ever even bother to check in or look over our progress.
I highly recommend that no one falls for the scam of their «great» pricing, and look into a more reputable source for laser hair removal, which I am currently in the process of doing.

My previous review of 4star review was midway during laser hair removal treatment based on the cleanliness, the staff & overall vibes. I’m now updating it with a 1star review after completing the whole 6 sessions.
This is solely because i am not satisfied with the results and this has nothing to do with «being hairy» as told by the aestetician on the last & final session pushing me to buy more sessions.
I clearly remember at the first consultation (when i went in without threading/​waxing with full growth on my face) I was told «you don’t have much hair», «we’ve had people with much more hair than that». I would expect the aestheticians are qualified and their comments would be based on experience from the many people they deal with. It turns out that it is all small talk to get you to pay upfront for a package.
Let me be honest, I do see good results on the sideburns, chin, & forehead. My problem area has remained the upperlip (which was the main reason why i went in for laser hair removal). On the first session i was treated by Dr Pizarro. I was super impressed since he concentrated on every square inch of my face and took the time to zap the full face.
The next three sessions were handled by an aesthetician who did a hap hazard job and she was very quick. she said” i don’t see much hair on your face”. i reminded her that since you asked me to shave, you ofcourse will not see hair, right? I clearly had to mention that i’m here for full face laser. She continued to do a hap hazard job, the results of which i see now.
So at my last session I tell them that this has been the case, firstly they do not acknowledge it and instead of trying to fix anything for me, they hand me a pricelist & suggest me to buy more sessions. WHAT!?!
This whole episode has left a bad taste in my mouth. I would not recommend this.

I bought a groupon for laser hair removal and used it for my underarms. After 3 sessions, it appeared to be working so well that I purchased another one for a brazilian. Well it’s now been 3 months since my last laser treatment on my underarms and all the hair has grown back! I had been thinking about purchasing another one for another area, but not anymore.
I have one treatment left for my brazilian and then I’m done. Midway through my treatments they also switched machines on me. The new one wasn’t so bad, but every subsequent time I went, it was more painful. When I went back to the old machine, they seem to lose their patience with it and don’t do a quality job. I guess we’ll see what happens with the brazlian a few months after my treatments are done.
I understand that sometimes it takes more than 6 treatments, but there’s no reason for ALL the hair to grow back. I think this place is a sham.
I’ve never had any issues with cleanliness here, seems fine to me. I do think they are rushed though because of all the groupon appointments. In regards to parking, I’m used to Hoboken and the lack of parking. I usually park in the garage two blocks away.

Professionals, clean place and excellent prices. I bought a groupon for laser hair removal and I have had a number of other services done since. I find this place to be a great find!

I purchased a Groupon to receive laser hair removal and I opted to do my underarms. ($ 149 for 6 sessions is a serious steal!) I have never had Laser Hair Removal done before so I was a little nervous. To date, I have only had 1 treatment so why 5 stars? #1 the treatment was painless & fast #2 both the receptionist & doctor were nice & very informative and the office & room where the procedure is done was very clean #3 after 1 session and 4 weeks later, the hair is gone and I still have 5 sessions left which makes me think this was worth EVERY penny & much more!
For any con I can think of — ie: parking is terrible, Hoboken traffic, busy office & your appointment might not be directly on time (helllo over 500 Groupons were purchased, did you think the small office wouldn’t be packed??) I would recommend this place to anyone! I am beyond happy with Hoboken Medical Aesthetics.

Fantastic, professional I’m so pleased with the results. Ask for ANDREA because she is the best super friendly and kept talking to me to make sure I was ok. also love the receptionist JENNY! Again thank u both of u!!(

I bought a series of treatments for this place through Groupon (perhaps that was my first mistake). Anyway, arrived 15 minutes early, even after circling for parking for 20 minutes.
I notice immediately there was no waiting room just a narrow hallway with product displays and a large kitchen area. The receptionist tried to upsell me immediately, whatever, I’m used to this. She then leads me into an office to fill out paperwork. I cannot help but notice that the office is incredibly dirty, dust everywhere. So I’m already questioning the sterility of the environment.
I sat in there for over 40 minutes while people ran up and down the halls aimlessly and the «doctor» even walked by the room several times without so much as cracking a smile or greeting me. I have no idea what they were doing.
I finally got fed up and walked to reception and told her I needed to leave and I’d been there for far too long. As I did, another girl walked in from Groupon and crammed into the hall. The phones were blowing up and the receptionist was about to lose her mind. I bowed out of the situation and resolved to never look back.
This place is not ready for high volume business and they need to get their act together. I called Groupon and demanded a refund. I will not be returning. You definitely get what you pay for.

Gotta love the response from Tina almost A YEAR later!!! If only they had cared ½ as much when I was actually going through all this.
Talk about adding insult to injury. Waste of time and money.
You guys are a joke, Good luck!
