Alla is amazing
I googled Alla's name because I couldn't find her phone number and I was so surprised to read a horrible review. Honestly, as a long time client of Alla's I do not believe it to be true but what's the internet without a few angry trolls :) I started getting botox and fillers approximately 10 years ago and Alla is the most skilled injector I've ever encountered.
I've continued using her services for the past 3 years and she is now the only injector I will go to. One of the first things I noticed - which is always important to me - is how fresh, beautiful and natural Alla looks. It always scares me when I see an 'overdone' injector. She is always honest and has a great eye for detail.
She doesn't try to sell me anything I don't need even when she knows I would happily purchase it.
Very often I ask her for a filler and she tells me I don't need it respecting that I've told her I want to keep a natural look. I recommend Alla to my friends, family and anyone reading this review.

Skinology Med Spa - Customer Care Review
Elka and Alla are scam artists
The products they use don't deliver expected results! AVOID AT ALL COSTS THE PRODUCTS DON'T WORK no matter how much you spend!
Furthermore the only way to resolve your unhappy experience is to spend more for yet more unfavourable results, cut your loses and move on! Save your money and please don't let them talk you into spending more for better results because the original product wasn't enough, oddly this is what Elka the derma filler queen who at 38 years of age is obsessed with looking like a Barbie doll and pushy. Shame on her and Alla! I had to learn the hard way don't make the same mistakes.
If they have to advertise their products on Groupon or any other site that sells discounted products then that should be a warning sign in its self. The business of fillers and spa is very competitive and there are so many out there, word of mouth is probably the best method. I made the mistake of being sucked in the first time but refuse to be had again and turned down another product that I had to spend another 565.00 on, this seems to Elka's resolution to my complaint.
Instead of fixing what obviously didn't work and accepting blame she just tries to sell you more for probably what will turn out to be another negative experience! Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you:/
- Manager elkas resoultion is to keep spending more money
- Unfavourable results and waste of money
- Do not be fooled by her rederic

Skinology Med Spa Botox Injection Review
Pushy, unprofessional and the worst experience I've had!
Attended this clinic as a result of buying a groupon and being assured of the mostly good experiences listed on review websites. Upon being consulted by Alla Raitsin, she basically let me know the treatment offered on the groupon was misleading and only useful for "smoothing" and not "filling" even though there was no distinction on the website other than the fact that the value was $650 and a "dermal filler treatment".
She proceeded to try and upsell me for hundreds if not a thousand dollars for other fillers and then when I asked to think about it she informed me I had no time to think this over and needed to decide that minute. I caved under the pressure and paid more money for a filler that she said would be the better choice. When I finally got into the treatment room the injection specialist seemed nice but several injections in Alla walks into the room compromising the hygienic environment and tells the specialist the next client is here and he's in a rush. I was floored by this action and my eyes went wide as the injection was underway and now was worried about having a botched job.
The injection specialist rushed the rest through and of course now that this swelling has subsided the lips are botched and uneven because of the rushed job. I have been doing fillers for years and have never encountered ANY of this type of unprofessional behaviour.
The Med Spa name is a farce and I have been making sure to let all of my Bayview Village clients know what a joke this place and not give them their business. Shameful for people in this business!

Skinology is absolutely amazing
Well what to say except that I couldn't be happier with my results. I'll be honest I went in there skeptical as I bought a living social deal and wasn't sure how it would go but I wonderfully surprised.
The Nurse is amazing and the staff are so friendly. They are also very accommodating. I got my lips done and it was the first time using this product which was fantastic. I love my new lips.
Im glad I came across that deal on the internet as I will now be a faithful follower or skinology med spa. Anyone wanting fantastic lips should go see them.

Skinology is AMAZING!
I was redirected from using a product Juvederm Ultra to a much cheaper product called Radiesse but charged exponentially more
I was motivated to contact Skinology, Richmond Hill, Ontario from an Ad they posted on Kijiji. The Ad was originally advertising Juvederm Ultra. When I called I spoke to Elka at the 'Call Center' for Skinology, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Elka redirected me to a product called Radiesse. I attended, the injector was Alla. Alla tried to up sell with other products at the initial appointment. I refused. The product Radiesse, did not last. I attended a second time. The product again did not last. I attended a third time - this is over a 4 - 5 week span. Alla confirmed the product Radiesse 'deflated' as she put it. She gave me two options:
1. A full refund
2. Another appointment - another tube of Radiesse
She was defensive, rude and uncooperative in any attempt to correct the problem that day. She knew I had traveled to attend the appointment. She knew I was a Professional with a busy schedule.
After the first and second appointment, she had no hesitation in taking over an hour of time asking for nutrition advice for her Husband who was seeing a Naturopath at the time and asking for anti-inflammatory advice for him. She showed me personal pictures, talked about her personal life and her friend who just finished a paddling excursion. I was attentive and polite but was curious why she was so interpersonal and unprofessional. She and her business partner Alla took on quite a different persona when I called to report the extraordinary amount of money they had charged me was both disproportional to the efficacy of the product and the wholesale cost. I am a fan of profits but not $200.00 wholesale and $700.00 retail for an ineffective product.
Alla refused to give me a written assurance of a refund. She repeated no less than 4 more times that I would be getting a refund. She reported 'I had to take her word for it'. That last appointment was April 30th, 2014 @ 2:30 p.m. After leaving the Skinology office in Richmond Hill, I received a phone call from Elka. Elka reported the refund was a 'different department'. Odd - according to Alla, there were only two owners - herself and Elka. Skinology owners Alla and Elka now refused to honour the refund. I reported my full conversation with Alla to Elka, confirmed the promise of the refund, reported while Alla refused to write it down, she committed her word. I further said - 'That would be so dishonourable, who would be so dishonourable'. I have made several attempts to contact them to honour their commitment, including reporting them to the Better Business Bureau of Ontario, Merz Pharmaceuticals and now Reviews of my experience. They refuse to make any effort to resolve the matter, honouring the word of Alla.
Summary:
According to Product Consultants I have spoken to, Radiesse wholesales between 150.00 - 250.00 - the retail cost they charged me of $700.00 per tube is unconscionable. Juvederm Ultra retails at the price they charged me for a product that cost exponentially less and by my experience exponentially less effective.
On the first visit, Alla handed me the phone to 'speak' to a doctor. He asked me random questions, any allergies, etc. He did not ask me what I expected from the product, what I understood about the product or the efficacy of the product. As I now understand, industry standard at other Spas demands you be seen by a Doctor and they will not set up an appointment until you have spoken to a Doctor. It is their responsibility to do a full assessment and full disclosure on products for the trusting public. Relying on the random 'sales pitch' of a Call Center personal who claims expertise is just unacceptable.
I was promised a full refund of the initial visit of two tubes of Radiesse. I am now in the unenviable position of having to review my legal options to resolve this matter.
Horrendous experience!
