FAQs on our Dark Spot Corrector Tx in Edmonton, ACLARA
TECHNOLOGY
How does this dark spot corrector treatment get rid of pigmented lesions?
Targeted areas absorb the pulse light, breaking the pigmented lesion into tiny particles. These particles rise to the surface of the skin as scabs that naturally slough off with exfoliation within 1-2 weeks.
What is IPL-DPC?
IPL-DPC stands for Intense Pulse Light- Dynamic Pulse Control. Phototherapy treatments emit a light beam into the skin that is absorbed by different skin lesions.
Through selective photothermolysis, the light pulse destroys a specified target without damaging the surrounding tissue. Through DPC technology 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. 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.
Is ACLARA safe?
Our Skin Experts are knowledgeable on our chosen technology and the biology of the skin. As a result, this increases the safety of all of our treatments. Above all, our treatments are non-invasive 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)
TREATMENT
How many ACLARA treatments are required?
The typical regimen is an average of 6-8 treatment sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. However, the number of treatments is completely up to you depending on the results you desire.
How long is the recovery phase? Is there any downtime?
ACLARA 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 face ACLARA photofacial takes 30-45 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine.
Are photofacials painful?
No, during the procedure, a slight, momentary stinging sensation may be felt, comparable to the snapping of a small elastic band, but not pain.

Some of us may start to see a slowing-down of our skin’s regenerating process as early as our late twenties. Our fine lines penetrate deeper and deeper with every smile and every frown. Before we know it, we start to see crow’s feet forming, marionette lines getting deeper, etc. Aging is a natural part of life and therefore we must embrace it.
Helping your skin care for itself for as long as it can.
Dérmica understands your skin cells’ regeneration process and the different factors that may affect your skin’s ability to replenish itself.
Our skin can continue to regenerate itself for as long as possible through treatments, maintenance, and products.
Benefits of anti aging treatments
👉 Anti aging treatments correct long term problem areas. For example, scars that were once zits which you popped and became infected.
👉 Treatments encourage your skin to resume regeneration. Missing elements that are necessary for skin to replenish itself (such as nutrients and hydration) rejuvenate the skin.
👉 They train your skin to care for itself. Especially during climate changes and extreme weather conditions (such as the ones we experience living in Edmonton, Alberta).
At Dérmica, we offer a wide range of MedEsthetics treatments and products, as well as anti aging tips for the Edmonton climate.
Our anti aging treatments include a variety of chemical peels. Peels work by separating the upper layers of the skin causing an accelerated cell turnover rate. Because of their molecular structure, these acids are able to penetrate past the acid mantle of the skin and deep into the layers beneath the surface of the skin. This causes your skin to shed and regenerate.
Our advanced laser treatments are tailored to treat major skin conditions and deliver maximum results. With just a quick pulse of light we can diminish brown spots, redness, fine lines, and broken capillaries, all symptoms of aging skin.
Facials are great for anti aging maintenance. Designed to help reverse/ prevent premature aging, we incorporate highly concentrated products in all our facials. After a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydrating steam, we pack the skin with nutrients with a relaxing anti-aging massage using brightening, hydrating pharmaceutical-grade, paraben-free, natural products.
For anti aging home maintenance, we carry great anti aging serums that are an excellent way to ensure you are feeding your skin the regular nutrients it needs to regenerate itself when acclimated to Edmonton.
Laser Spa Party: The Festivities come to a conclusion
