BURNT BY LASER!! – THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS!!!!! MY FACE WAS BURNT BY LASER!!!!! I went for laser hair removal on my face. I informed the crazy Russian woman once she began the treatment that the laser felt too hot so please turn it down (I had previously undergone laser hair removal to my face and it never felt that hot). She said that she could not because otherwise it would not work. My face felt hot and painful when I left. By the evening, there were burn marks all over my face (and some of them weren't even in the correc... read more

Left with a bruises on my face because of Rebecca! – I never write reviews on here, actually this may be my very first so, so that should be an indicator of how bad my experience was at Gemvie Medispa. I've been getting facials for 17 years now, so I know. I went with someone else who had a great experience. If you do choose to go here- whatever you do- do not get your facial done with Rebecca! She was so amateur, I could have done a better job with zero training and a blind fold. I noticed immediately that she sounded conge... read more

Do not go for laser – I agree with the previous reviewer. This is a dodgey place. I went here for bikini laser treatment and the equipment seemed old and outdated (I have had laser at two other BEAUTIFUL spas and this one was no where near as high tech as the laser machines as those two spas). On my first treatment with the laser nothing happened at all. I was assured that this was because it was the first treatment and the setting was just too low. Fine, so I go back for the second treatment, and my technician obviously dec... read more

dodgey dodgey place – I went in for standard botox after shopping around to get a cheaper price, I've had it before in Europe and the states, despite this the doctor didn't really listen and went into an hour long explanation of what I could do...He wouldn't go into the price of the procedure at all. I agreed to do it in 2 areas, they left me in a room for over 20 minutes waiting on my paper sheeted chair, then the doctor came in with a needle lying in a tray and some ice packs...I asked why he wasn't injecting the product f... read more

woo hoo - no hair! – This is actually my first review on Citysearch - and it's taken me 3 visits to Gemvie to write this - just to make sure I liked their services. In truth, I should say service, as I've only used them for laser hair removal. I found them when passing by & noticed some cards/coupons for laser hair removal outside their door with a really great deal on laser. The picture was horrible - a lip covered half with dark, ugly hair. Almost made me not want to look into them. But the price was too good. So I looked ... read more

Fantastic Facials – I visited Gemvie Spa for the first time in Fall 2008 during Spa Week. I heard about Gemvie through good word of mouth before booking an appointment. I have been to literally hundreds of spas in New York City and Gemvie is one of my favorties - The atmosphere is relaxing. The staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are affordable. I find the facials to be relaxing and very thorough. My skin just shines after each treatment. I usually go for facials but I did try the hour long massage and it was fantasti... read more

Could not be any happier... – I’ve done my first Botox injections with doctor Morgovsky. I was 110% satisfied with my experience. I was given a complete consultation, doctor patiently answered all my questions and believe me I had quite a few : ) ( as you might know doctors not always do that). Before and after photos were taken and I was explained how I can benefit from the injections and other treatments that they offer like micropeels and etc. Going to the injection room I had no doubts that I came to the right place. A w... read more

Do Not Waste Your Money – The atmosphere was horrible. The "Techno Spa" music was too loud, but I could still hear the staff laughing and talking in the front room. My masseuse kept going into the connecting room to get warm towels – very distracting – and what if someone was using that room? The table was covered with paper and then I was sort of covered with a small towel – no sheets. There was no bolster for my legs. I don’t even want to rehash how awful the woman at the front desk was. I tried the spa because I had a Gro... read more

Great Spa/Great Service/Great Value!!! – My first visit to Gem Vie was during Spa Week 2009 and I've been happily going back for facials once every month since. I recommend all spa goers and anyone looking for a new spa home give Gem Vie a try like I did during spa week. For $50 you can't go wrong. Gem Vie's expert services produce results you can see and feel. GREAT SPA - very relaxing and tranquil. When you first arrive (if you're early) you're greeted & seated in the lounge and offered tea, biscuits, etc. The lounge leads... read more
