At Dérmica, we work with SharpLight Technologies to deliver IPL Hair Removal.
Laser Hair Removal Edmonton, Dérmica MedEsthetics and SharpLight Technologies
We work with SharpLight Technologies to provide our clients the best laser hair removal technology available in today’s market.
Leaders recognize other leaders. That is to say, we recognize SharpLight Technologies as a leader in MedEsthetics technology development. Their laser and light-based systems are useful for a range of treatments delivered at Dérmica.
Global Research
In addition, we like that SharpLight combines research and resources from around the world. This allows us to offer the most advanced MedEsthetics treatments to our clients.
Another reason why we chose SharpLight is their powerful network in medical markets throughout Canada and the world. SharpLight Technologies is a daughter company to SharpLight Technologies Israel and a part of the American Laser Clinics (AML).
At Dérmica, we consider one of SharpLight’s greatest strengths to be their clinical background and experience achieved through their affiliation with the American Laser Clinics (AML); AML is the largest network of clinics in Israel; it operates 10 centres, employs 120 physicians and, to date, has performed over 1,500,000 treatments on over 100,000 clients. This ensures Dérmica MedEsthetics remains up-to-date with current clinical market information and a thorough understanding of the needs and wants of our clients in Edmonton.
Through their regular access to relevant information from specialists worldwide, SharpLight is in an excellent position to allow us to continually improve and optimize our laser hair removal treatments in Edmonton.
Social awareness
Finally, we chose SharpLight Technologies because like Dérmica, they have a social conscience. In our opinion, SharpLight shows exemplary corporate responsibility by supporting Because I am a Girl. SharpLight is committed to helping improve the quality of life in communities worldwide because they understand how important it is to address barriers and challenges that hinder or prevent girls and women from pursuing their passions and talents. They contribute to the quality of life in communities through donations and sponsorship programs. For every platform sold at SharpLight they contribute to Because I am a Girl’s global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls’ rights and lift millions of girls – and everyone around them – out of poverty.

Is phototherapy safe?
Phototherapy safely treats major skin conditions, however, there can be potential side effects. When present, certain factors can cause an increased risk of side effects. For example, certain health conditions, recent treatments, or use of certain products. As a result, we have created an IPL hair removal pretreatment guide for your review before booking online.
ALISA is Dérmica’s very own Skin Resurfacing/ Skin Rejuvenation/ Skin Tightening laser treatment in Edmonton.
Skin Resurfacing Edmonton, ALISA – FAQs
How does the ALISA ME Rx work?
ALISA is a Skin Rejuvenation or Skin Resurfacing treatment. In other words, it reverses the signs of aging through the non-traumatic removal of skin surface layers that induce neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen).
Following the removal of surface skin layers though selective photothermolysis, the body’s natural wound-healing response begins to regenerate the epidermis and the underlying wounded skin layers, which gives an overall glow and youthful look to the skin, but more specifically, treats fine lines and wrinkles and minimizes large pores.
What is Selective Photothermolysis?
Selective Photothermolysis is a method that destroys a specified target without damaging the surrounding tissue. The method consists of irradiating the target with pulsed visible radiation. As a result, the targeted area is heated above body temperature which causes the proteins to coagulate. Because the target absorbs the radiation much more strongly than the surrounding tissue, this surrounding tissue is almost not heated at all.
Is the ALISA ME Rx safe at 65 years old?
Absolutely! There are no contraindications based on age since light-based treatments are safe and non-invasive.
How many treatments are required?
Your skin needs the time needed to recover and produce new collagen. Therefore, the typical regimen is an average of 5 treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. However, the number of treatments is completely up to you depending on the results you desire. Having said that, we do not recommend over 12 treatments in one year.
How long is the recovery phase? Is there any downtime?
ALISA does NOT require any downtime whatsoever! You can come in during your lunch hour and return to work and no one will ever know why you look better than you did in the morning! ;)
How long does a treatment take?
This depends on the different treatments you would like during your session, however, a full ALISA photofacial takes 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine.
Are photofacials safe?
Our Skin Experts are knowledgeable on our technology and on the biology of the skin. Our team is lead by experts in the field with over 15 years of experience in medical esthetics treatments. This increases the safety of all of our treatments. Our treatments are non-invasive and safe, with minimum side effects if any at all. Side effects could possibly include:
Discomfort (stinging sensation up to one hour after treatment)
Change of pigmentation (most cases occur on people with darker skin and can be avoided by conducting a test patch)
Fragile Skin (skin may become temporarily fragile)
Purpura (purple bruising lasting from 5-15 days)
Scarring (may happen on darker skin but still, very rare)

Arienne K., Edmonton, AB, 5.0 star rating
“I have been a loyal customer of Dermica since they opened. Jhoenna and Sylvia do great work. I’m consistently happy with the services they provide. I am always treated like an old friend. I recommend Dermica highly for the quality of service, the professionalism and personal warmth of the staff and the prices.”
Cheryl Quiring, Edmonton, AB, 5.0 star rating
“The Dermica Facial is absolutely amazing. Johanna is clearly a MASTER at her trade – my skin looks incredible and that was probably the most relaxing hour of my life. Bonus; it’s a steal at only $85!”
Elva F., Edmonton, AB, 5.0 star rating
“I am a proud client of Dermica. I came here on the recommendation of a friend and I am glad I took her up on the advice. I go here to get my brows done – I get them both waxed and tinted. I have gone to other places around Edmonton and paid extortionate prices for the same thing – Dermica is very reasonably priced with a good loyalty system and a nice, satisfying job done on the brows. Jhoenna is just great – the first time I went I found that I would have liked by brows more defined so the next time I explained, she listened, and did exactly what I asked. Explain what you would like and she will try her best to give you the results you require. Definitely come along and try it out for yourself.”
Nayely A., Edmonton, AB, 5.0 star rating
“Being new to Edmonton, I was very anxious about who to trust with my eyebrows. I finally decided on Dermica, since it had lower prices on waxing than some high end salons. Finally, I went to get them done, and I was welcomed by Sylvia (I believe that was her name). It is a very calming and chic environment, so I instantly felt better. She even offered me slippers!
When I got into the room to start the waxing, she asked if I was happy with my eyebrow shape. I was glad she asked because sometimes the aestheticians try to change things. She was quick and concise and I left with fresh brows! It even hurt less than other waxings I’ve had. When she thought she was done she showed me and mentioned that my eyebrows were noticeably asymmetric and she could fix it. This is something I had noticed naturally in my eyebrows before and of course let her try and fix it. So I was very grateful for that and that she informed me.
Honestly, bless the ladies that work here. Great business and services. Will be coming back!”

Q: How does the treatment work on superficial blood vessels? A: The applied IPL-DPC is absorbed by the oxyhemoglobin (formed by the combination of hemoglobin with oxygen, present in oxygenated blood) in the blood within the vessel, causing the blood to coagulate and the vessel to break up into particles that are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
Q: What is IPL-DPC? A: IPL-DPC stands for Intense Pulse Light- Dynamic Pulse Control. This treatment emits a light beam into the skin which is absorbed by different skin lesions. Through selective photothermolysis, this light pulse selectively destroys a specified target without damaging the surrounding tissue. The DPC technology means that we can determine the “aggressiveness” of the treatment based on the duration of the pulse; shorter pulses are more aggressive, delivering the light beam in a shorter period of time, while longer pulses are less aggressive as they have a longer period to deliver the light beam. The different range of pulse durations results in a major increase in the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Q: How many treatments are required? A: The typical regimen is an average of 6 treatment sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart. However, the number of treatments is completely up to you depending on the results you desire.
Q: How long is the recovery phase? Is there any downtime? A: The ALIVIA ME Rx does NOT require any downtime whatsoever! You can come in during your lunch hour and return to work and no one will ever know why you look better than you did in the morning! ;)
Q: How long does a treatment take? A: This depends on the different treatments you would like during your session, however, a full ALIVIA ME photo facial Rx takes 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine.
Q: Is the ALIVIA ME Rx painful? A: No, during the procedure, a slight, momentary stinging sensation may be felt, comparable to the snapping of a small elastic band, but not pain.
Q: Is the ALIVIA ME Rosacea Treatment Safe? A: Our Skin Experts are knowledgeable on our technology, AND on the biology of the skin. This increases the safety of all of our treatments. Our treatments are non-invasive and safe, with minimum side effects if any at all. Side effects could possibly include:
Discomfort (stinging sensation up to one hour after treatment)
