ACNE
Any area with sebaceous glands is prone to acne — especially the face, back and chest. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples.
-
The Acne Facial is the best solution to rid your face of active pustules and papules. We cleanse the skin, steam, extractions and finish with high frequency, then apply specific acne treatments. Treatments can be performed every 2-4 weeks until active acne has cleared.
-
IPL can also be beneficial for active acne, as the heat and light destroy the bacteria in the pore and cause it to breakdown.
Treatments can be performed every 4-6 weeks until active acne has cleared. 4-6 treatments are recommended to see optimal results.
-
Using a Glycolic Acid based chemical peel this service is a quick and easy solution for mild active acne and light acne scarring. The service includes a cleansing, degreasing, the application of the chemical peel solution with the addition of serums and a protective mask to finish. Chemical peels can be done about once a month to keep the skin clear and fresh.
Hyperpigmentation
A common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin are darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when special cells in the skin make too much of the pigment called melanin. Hyperpigmentation may appear as freckles, age spots, or larger areas of darkened skin. Sun Exposure can cause hyperpigmentation by activating melanosomes and small capillaries in the skin. The best way to manage Hyperpigmentation is through treatment and product.
-
The Dermalase IPL Photo Facial treats hyperpigmentation by targeting and causing controlled damage to the Chromophores in the skin. The body naturally repairs the damage by bringing the color up to the surface to be sloughed off. 3-4 treatments are recommended to see optimal results.
-
Controlled microchannels in the skin cause the fibroblast cells in the subcutaneous layer to produce collagen and elastin structures to repair the surface and look of the skin from the inside out. With microneedling, hyperpigmentation can be effectively treated by breaking up the pigment beneath the skin's surface Usually 3-4 sessions are recommended for optimal results on hyperpigmentation.
-
Fade dark spots, smooth texture and prevent breakouts. This chemical double peel provides deep resurfacing and infusion of hyperpigmentation reducing actives. Visible results immediately, no down time.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles occur as skin collagen and elastin break down over time from aging, daily wear and tear from pulling on the facial structure by facial muscles, sun exposure, environmental factors, and skin damage. Fine lines appear first, usually around areas of high use like the mouth and eyes. With time these fine lines evolve into deeper creases called wrinkles.
-
The Dermalase IPL Photo Facial treats fine lines and wrinkles by targeting and causing controlled damage to the Collagen and Elastin in the skin. The body naturally repairs the damage by activating the fibroblast cells which tightens the surrounding skin. 6-8 treatments are recommended to see optimal results.
-
Microneedling of the skin using very small needles causes controlled damage to the area, and micro-dosing stem cells or hyloraunic acid into the epidermis stimulates healing and tightening of the area. 3-4 treatments are recommended for lasting results (1-2 yrs)
-
Dermaplaning is the physical process of removing up to 6 layers of dead skin cells from the epidermis which reveals new fresh skin. This painless procedure uses a scalpel to safely remove the vellus hair and dead skin which leads to a younger and smoother appearance immediately after procedure. For extended results, seasonal treatments are recommended.
-
Chemical Peels remove dead skin cells from below the surface of the skin by applying gentle acids to the skin. This encourages new skin regeneration and results in improved tone and texture. Chemical peels are recommended every 3-4 months and usually have a 1-2 day downtime that accompanies the service.
-
Often what aging skin needs is moisture and that’s what we provide with our essential facial. Cleansing, steam, masque, serums and massage infuse moisture into the epidermis and leave the skin immediately looking and feeling rejuvenated. Mature skin facials can be done every 2-4 weeks or when you need a pick-me up before an event.
Texture and Scarring
Stretch Marks, Acne Scars, Healed Surgical Scars. Whatever your concern - we can help. Scars occur when tissues have been significantly damaged and repaired. Scars result in changes that alter the physical architecture of normal skin or other tissue. Scars can occur after physical trauma (surgery, cystic acne, growth spurts etc.) or as part of a disease process.
-
Skin Rejuvenation with IPL is one of the very best methods of acne scar reduction today. This treatment targets the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation as well as uneven skin and activates fibroblast cells that increases collagen and elastin production in the skin. 6-8 treatments 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
-
By causing controlled micro damage to the epidermis of the skin, we are able to stimulate the healing process and then assist in the repair of new tissue. The downtime for this treatment can be 2-4 days. The treatment can be repeated every 4-6 weeks, and 4 treatments are advised for optimal results.

SKIN S.O.S.
Is your skin angry? Have you tried everything to calm it down and still you are reacting? I can help…often what skin in crisis needs is moisture and calming of the histamine reactors and that’s what I provide with our FOCUS facial. Cleansing, exfoliation, double masking, serums all infuse moisture into the epidermis and leave the skin immediately looking and feeling relieved.
SORE TOES
Ingrown toenails are a common condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh. The result is pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, an infection. Ingrown toenails usually affect your big toe. They will not go away without intervention, and left untreated can lead to complications.
Before you seek out a costly Podiatry appointment come and see if some gentle care will help relieve the pain and help to manage your toenails.
EXCESS HAIR/HAIR REMOVAL
-
The light depletes the hair follicle of moisture, causing it to burn and die.
The IPL hair removal adopts the photo-thermal therapy and it can be selectively absorbed by the target while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. As IPL hair removal therapy eliminates the unwanted hair from the hair root to the tip, the DermaLase IPL device has proven to be a very effective long-term hair removal technique.
Health Canada approved equipment.
It can take six to twelve weeks for a hair to grow from the papilla to the surface of the skin.
Every hair in our body goes through the three phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. At any given time about 85%-90% of your hair is in the Anagen phase (active stage), 1-2% is in the Catagen phase (transitional stage), and 10-14% is in the Telogen phase (resting stage).
The Anagen phase is the best time to target as the hair is well situated in the follicle for the IPL to seek and destroy.
Due to the different cycles, 6-8 treatments are recommended on average, spaced out according to the growth cycle.
The time it takes to complete a full program varies from person to person and the location of the hair on the body, but is typically 12-24 months.
We offer Hair Removal packages of 8 treatments for the price of 7.
