Photofacial Edmonton
Photofacial Edmonton, Advanced skincare
Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers photofacial treatments tailored to treat major skin conditions and deliver maximum results. With just a quick pulse of light we can smooth skin, diminish brown spots, redness, and broken capillaries.
Our photofacials work by delivering quick pulses of light to the targeted area using the Sharplight Formax System. The system features a contact cooling tip that cools the skin being treated, adding maximum comfort and protection.
This equipment allows us to perform 3 types of photofacials:
ALISA will improve the texture and vibrancy of the skin by gently removing the surface layers.
ACLARA works to removes pigment spots and damage affecting your face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.
ALIVIA treats vascular lesions that are due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, or sensitized skin.
Best of all, there is no downtime required for these procedures. Most photofacials takes 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine!

Ask Dérmica: Sun Spot Removal Edmonton
Dear Dérmica,I have developed a few brown spots on my face over the summer and am wondering if there is anything you guys can do to remove them?
Thanks,
Lindsay
Dear Lindsay,
It sounds like you have some sun damage that has surfaced in the form of sun spots.
Sun spots usually appear in areas of high sun exposure such as the forehead, nose, cheeks, and decollate. They can also appear on the body, back of the hands, upper shoulders (especially on people who drive during times of the day when the sun is at its strongest), etc.
Sun spots are cells that were damaged by UV exposure. Typically this damage has been caused before the age of 18 and surfaces later on in life and become darkened with repeated or excessive sun exposure.
If your brown spots appeared over the summer, I can surmise that they are sun damaged cells that have surfaced in the form of sun spots with the recent sun exposure you experienced this summer.
In regards to your question on the removal of your brown spots, yes, we can most definitely remove your spots.
We will shed some light on repair and maintenance.
REPAIR
Dérmica’s IPL Photofacials are safe, non-invasive Advanced Skincare procedures that deliver immediate results. We offer different types of photofacials for different skin concerns, and in dealing with your specific concern, we would recommend Dérmica’s ACLARA ME photofacial .
Aclara ME works to removes pigment spots (brown spots/sun spots/ age spots) and damage affecting your face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.
Throughout the procedure, we deliver quick pulses of light to the targeted area penetrating between 535-580nm into your skin. This process breaks up the spot, which then brings the pigment to the surface and sheds the spot with your skins natural processes.
We perform all of our laser procedures using Sharplight’s Formax-VP System. The system features a number of safety-control attributes including a contact cooling tip that cools the skin being treated, adding maximum comfort and protection.
Best of all, there is no downtime required for this procedure. An ACLARA ME photofacial takes 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine!
MAINTENANCE
As we mentioned earlier, most damage has been caused before the age of 18 and surfaces later on in life and becomes darkened with repeated or excessive sun exposure.
Having said this, we recommend reading our Anti Aging tips and of course, always use sun block, sun block, sun block!!! Sun block is vital, even in the winter months.
Thanks Lindsay for your question, we hope we were able to help.
Love, Peace, and Great Skin!

Acne Peel Edmonton Aug Special
Visit Dérmica during August for an Acne Peel procedure for only $99
Acne Peel Edmonton Aug Special, $99
Back to School? Back to Life?Summers in Edmonton are great. So is the damage they cause our skin. Now that Autumn is just around the corner (sorry to burst that bubble but it’s true!), it’s time to start the repair process.
Dérmica’s Chemical Peel procedures are an excellent way to care for your skin. There are many benefits to this simple, non-invasive procedure.
Depending on the organic acids used, we can target a number of skin conditions such as fine lines, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and problematic acne.
For the treatment of acne in a dry climate such as Alberta’s, we use a professional Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is hydrophilic, meaning that the peel helps to balance hydration levels of the skin which in turn promotes the skin to also balance oil production. Less oil = Less acne
Our acne peel procedures provide intense exfoliation and expedite cellular renewal to clear away all acne-causing impurities. At Dérmica, all of our chemical peel procedures are safe and closely-monitored.
During the month of August, purchase an acne peel for only $99 (Reg. $125). This offer expires Aug. 29, 2015. Offer is not valid with any other promotion.
Call or text (780) 885 7108 to book your appointment, or book online from any device at any time!

Laser Hair Removal Edmonton, Dérmica MedEsthetics and SharpLight Technologies
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.
