Couples Massage

It’s a spa date!

Located in Edmonton, we offer spa treatments tailored for couples. A favourite treatment for couples is the Relaxation Massage, more specifically, the Relaxation Body Treatment.

This treatment starts off with a dry brush to exfoliate the skin. The Swedish Massage incorporated into this relaxing service helps to soothe and loosen the superficial layers of the muscles. Service is complete with a steamed towel press.

Your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and legs are then treated to a hot towel press. This promotes blood flow.

Other popular couples spa services

Other spa treatments couples can enjoy together include facials and pedicures. Whether you’re thinking a pedicure date with your boo, or a good ‘ol catch up with your friend, our couples spa experience offers a private and peaceful ambiance for two.

What can I do about my large pores?

large pores treatment edmonton

We offer treatment for large pores in Edmonton, Alberta.

How do you get rid of large pores?

Well, there is cleaning your pores and then there is “shrinking” your pores. Most people are looking to clean their pores by emptying the contents within. You can see immediate results through pore extraction. We do this is all of our facials. However, if your skin is visibly congested and you’ve never had a facial, we recommend the PORE facial.

While other facials in our menu include other relaxing or beautifying delights, the PORE facial concentrates on pore extraction throughout the entire duration. While we must take time to prepare the skin for safe extractions, we extract as much as possible in the hour allotted. Sometimes a second facial is required when there is severe congestion in all areas of the face.

How long before I need another facial?

It’s important to understand that facials are simply “cleanups” and the skin is bound to become congested again. Therefore, we generally recommend clients come every 4-6 weeks for a facial. However, this timeframe between facials will vary depending on factors such as age, skin type, and environmental factors. Also, getting your skin under control with the right skincare routine and possibly changing some daily habits will space those facials even further.

Can you actually reduce pore size?

Small pores indicate good skin health and present a youthful appearance. If you did not win the “skin lottery” genetically, there is not much we can do to reduce the natural size of your pores. On the other hand if your pores have become enlarged over time, there are advanced skin treatments to help you “shrink” your pores back to a normal size.

Photofacials are effective at reducing pore size, in particular, the ALISA treatment. However, anti aging is a constant battle. We must consider daily external factors that are out of our control, such as winter temperatures, when setting our expectations.

In other words, advanced skin treatments and professional skincare products are great tools to have at our disposal. But we are always fighting against time. That is why the results of any treatment cannot last forever. If you choose to treat large pores with phototherapy, you may require multiple treatments to address your concern.

In conclusion, we all show our age in certain ways. If large pores is a concern for you now and they are left unattended, the matter will only get worse in a short five years. A good skincare routine will at the least slow down the damage. Treatments have the capacity to repair.

Can men with facial hair get laser treatments?

can men with facial hair get laser treatment

Beards and Phototherapy

Men with beards can get LASER and other forms of phototherapy including IPL treatments. However, if you wish to keep your facial hair, you are limited to areas above your desired beard line. This is because hair reduction is a side effect of phototherapy.

Skin treatments for bearded men

For bearded men with skin concerns such as acne scarring, large pores, dark spots, or fine lines, we offer 1/2 face treatments that exclude the lower half of the face.

Large pores

A common skin concern amongst our male clientele is enlarged pores on the nose area. Usually what happens is over time the pores become slightly larger as we age and expose them to daily stressors, for example, hot showers. Because the pores grow larger, they are more susceptible to collecting and clogging up with oil/sweat/products/debris/etc. This clogging provides a darker colour making the pores stand out against the rest of your skin.

To treat this concern, we recommend starting with a PORE facial to extract the pores in preparation for phototherapy. Photofacials will help reduce the size of the pores. As a result, your pores will be less susceptible to collecting oil/sweat/products/debris/etc and will stay clear for longer periods.

Redness and broken capillaries

Another common skin concern for men is facial redness and broken capillaries. Redness and broken capillaries could be due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetically sensitive skin.

These types of conditions are characterized by frequent, consistent redness, and visible redness and broken capillaries. If left untreated these conditions can worsen, or mutate the skin’s texture. Men with beards can get laser treatments to address these types of concerns.

Beardline precision treatment

Men with facial hair can opt for a clean beard line 24/7! With IPL hair removal, we are able to permanently shape the beard line with laser precision. IPL treatments zap live hair roots. As a result, regrowth stops in the treated areas.

Permanent beard removal

Men who wish to remove their beard permanently can do so with IPL Hair Removal. This can be booked online as a “half-face” treatment.
