Located in Edmonton, we offer skin tightening phototherapy treatments. Our ALISA photofacial is our preferred treatment for dull skin appearance and textural damage, for example, scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores.
Photofacials emit light energy into the skin. The light beam destroys specified targets without damaging the surrounding tissue. This process promotes the production fresh and plump new cells, increase collagen production, circulation, and cell turnover rate.

Photofacials accelerate the healing process by building extra collagen and plumping the skin. They add volume to damaged skin.

Located on Whyte Ave in Edmonton, Alberta, we offer dermaplaning in our skincare service menu. Dermaplaning is considered to be superficial and is safe for most people. There are typically no side effects from this skin treatment.
The process immediately brightens the complexion, evens skin tone, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth.
The technician gently grazes a medical-grade scalpel over the surface of the skin. This process delivers a fine shave that removes the dull surface skin and vellus facial hair.
Lighten and Brighten.
Dermaplaning helps to remove hyperpigmentation. This process is most effective when combined with the AHA BOOST or Vit C BOOST. The dermaplane process will clear the surface of the skin. As a result, deeper penetration of the acid is attainable to target specific conditions.
Can it treat acne?
In our professional opinion, we do not recommend dermaPLANE as a primary means of treating acne. The risk outweighs the potential benefit when compared to other more effective methods of acne treatment. Try our Treatment Selection Guide to see our recommendations.
When will I notice my results?
The results of dermaPLANE are seen immediately following the procedure. The goal is to leave the skin feeling softer and looking radiant. Contrast is most evident when comparing the appearance before and after service, in those who have major build up and visible hair growth.
Are there any side effects?
There are typically no side effects from the procedure. Your skin may feel slightly exposed and sensitive for 1-2 hours following. It is recommended that with any professional skin care service extended sun exposure is avoided for a minimum 24-hour period.
