July Special- Retinol and Vitamin C Boost with LUX facial

July Special- Complimentary Retinol and Vitamin C Boost ($55 value) to your LUX facial

Achieve professional-level skin smoothing and softening by adding a shot of Retinol and Vitamin C Peel Boost to your facial.

The LUX

The LUX facial is what its name surmises, luxury.

Skincare, massage, and brows all in one package.

Your skin is treated to a thorough deep pore cleanse and exfoliation. After a warm steam session, extractions release impurities and debris from the skin. Masking and moisture care infuses your skin with nutrients.

Whether you have blemishes, dry, oily, or acne prone skin, our custom applications ensure that we address your specific needs every time.

Your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and face are treated to a relaxing combination of Swedish and Pressure point massage.

That’s not all though, your spa session is finished off with a dérmica brow Shape, leaving your face looking and feeling anew!

Retinol and Vitamic C Peel Boost

1% Retinol stimulates collagen production and cell turnover.

Vitamin C provides protection. It scavenges and destroys reactive oxidizing (think ‘rusting’) agents and other free radicals.

Vitamin C also improves skin elasticity, decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis, reduces redness, promotes wound healing and suppresses excess pigmentation.


This special is not valid with any other offer/promotion. Offer valid from July 1-31, 2019. No pre-purchasing.

Struggling with Blackheads

Here’s our latest “Ask Dérmica” entry…


Hi Dérmica,
I’m struggling with blackheads. I just wonder if you can help with this problem.
Please give me some information of any technique that could help to reduce or get rid of blackheads.
Thank you so much.

-ANONYMOUS


Hello!

Blackheads are a common skin issue that can easily be treated at Dérmica. We recommend a 2-part treatment as follows:

Step 1:  PORE Facial ($85) to remove the existing blackheads from the pores. This treatment includes cleansing, exfoliation, steaming, and pore extractions.

Step 2: Photofacial ($45 – $175) to seal the pores closed and reduce the appearance of uneven texture and redness caused by enlarged pores. This treatment is performed by using IPL (Intense Pulse Light) device to treat the targeted condition.

Bookings are available at dermica.ca/book-now.

Hope this information helps…😊

To manage larger pores, we recommend the Daily Hydration to improve your skin’s ability to retain moisture. Also, avoid exfoliants that contain granules and opt for an enzyme exfoliant, such as the Phyto Calm Enzyme Mask.

Glo Skin Beauty formulas are paraben-free and safe for the most sensitive of skin types. Above all, their research and technology result in a skincare line that clinically transforms the skin.

IPL Phototherapy

What is IPL PHOTOTHERAPY?

IPL Phototherapy uses light energy to treat major skin conditions and permanently remove unwanted hair. It delivers pulses of UV light into the skin on areas of the face, neck, arms, hands, and legs. The depth of light penetration is measured according to the condition being treated.

With just a quick pulse of light we can diminish brown spots, redness, broken capillaries and remove unwanted facial and body hair.

Browse through our selection and descriptions to see which treatment suits your skin’s needs most. We offer free consultations with our Skin Experts who will analyze your skin condition, outline the benefits, and help you select the best treatment option.

Our chosen technology

We use the Sharplight Formax system. It features a patented Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) technology.

You may have heard that phototherapy can be painful, but with the Sharplight Formax system, you can rest assured that your service will be a breeze. The system features a cooling window that cools your skin to a safe temperature during your treatment. As a result, your skin feels cool and comfortable throughout!


IPL: PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL

Our IPL Hair Removal treatment will deliver permanent results on any area of face and body, including male facial hair. Above all, razor burn, ingrown hairs, and embarrassing stubble will be a thing of the past!
