Skin Deep Med Spa

Go somewhere else. I hate to be so negative but I feel like I have been RIPPED OFF and wished that more people had reviewed this place for what it is. Skin Deep Med Spa & Nicole come up at the top of nearly every google search and it seemed like they have received a lot of recognition from Boston's Best and other press (which now I realize was mostly paid for) so I made an appointment for Botox as I recently moved to Boston from D.C. First, there is no doctor at the spa whatsoever. Fine, I was willing to give Nicole a try as she explained to me that she has administering Botox for a long time and I have been getting Botox for over five years. Plus, her pricing was competitive. I arrived for my appointment to see Nicole runs a one woman show in an otherwise empty space. Hmmm, I began feeling less comfortable. Then I noticed her outfit....I dont want to be mean but she looked like she was going to a night club and it was only 11am. Yet she said she lived in Miami for a while. Fine, I overlooked that too. Can't judge a book by its cover, right? \r This is my real issue. I have gone a total of three times and it was a complete WASTE OF MONEY. The first time didnt take. So I went back two weeks later and she gave me a touch up and charged me an additional $100 (I paid $750 for the first appointment). I went back a second time (even though the first treatment didnt last long). I only returned a second time bc I am new to Boston and didnt want to try a new place before a big event. The Botox lasted four weeks. FOUR WEEKS. The Botox from my Med Spa in D.C. lasted 4-5 months. Arrrggghh, $750 out the window. I have been getting Botox for 5 years, I know where to inject on my face and how long it should last. Complete RIP OFF. Totally unprofessional. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. more

Such a great place! I was one of the first people to try out their laser that does hair removal and IPL photo facial. The machine can be intimidating but the treatments are fairly painless since there is an attached cooling system. After my third hair removal session my hair is virtually GONE, I haven't had to shave in about 7 weeks and it is just now starting to come back. \r Their IPL treatment is quick and pretty effective the first time. Some brown, sun spots started to crust a little a few days later and slough off. With all treatments you most likely need a couple sessions but it's definitely worth the money and they have ongoing specials that I was able to take advantage of. more

I'm adamantly determined *not* to age gracefully. I want to hold onto my wrinkle-less face for as long as possible! Pushing into my late 30s now, I have the start of fine lines on my forehead. After spending hundreds upon thousands of dollars on skincare treatments that didn't work, I decided to make a smarter investment: Botox. And after reading glowing reviews about Nichole at Skin Deep Med Spa, I took the plunge. Nichole is super-sweet and really knows her needles. The procedure was quick, virtually painless, and I'm absolutely in love with the results. I give her name to every guy and gal I know who wants to look more refreshed. Also: not only do I have a smooth forehead now, but my migraines have virtually stopped! For as long as I live in the Boston area, I'll be seeing Nichole once every three or four months. If you're thinking of giving it a try, you should too! more

I had wanted to try Botox for a while. I probably thought about it for over a year. I don't typically like needles (like most people) so for a long time I procrastinated about even looking for a reputable place/provider. I didn't know anyone who had ever gotten Botox. I went on a few consultations at med spas and doctor's offices that I found on Google but never 'clicked' with any of the ones I visited...until this past summer. I was walking down Newbury Street and I saw the sign for Skin Deep Med Spa. So I thought 'what the heck' and I went in. I had intended to just grab a business card, talk to the receptionist about a possible future consultation and leave; however the owner Nichole was just finishing up with another patient and offered to do a complimentary consultation right then. I didn't have anywhere to be so I agreed. She was informative and realistic about the procedure and the results I should expect. I asked a lot of questions and she took the time to answer every single one of them. That was it for me. I got Botox and Restylane right then. Never in a million years would I have bet I would have done it on the spot. It's been a couple of months now and I still look younger, more refreshed and less tired. When I first got it done, my family/friends would ask, 'What's different? Did you get your hair colored or cut?' My results were natural and it is exactly what I hoped for. I'll be going back when I need my first 'maintenance appointment.' I highly recommend Nichole. I've sent a few friends in since. more
