How to prep skin before a wedding.

wedding skin prep edmonton alberta
Wedding Skin Prep for healthy, manageable skin.

When should I start treating my skin for my wedding day?

Wedding skin prep can take several months to reach realistic skin goals. Our skin care professionals will help you select the right treatment for your skin concern and help you establish a routine for follow-ups, as you may need more than one session of your selected treatment.  


Skin treatments to try 2- 6 months before a wedding

Depending on the severity of unwanted blemishes, we recommend commencing treatments from 2-6 months prior to your big day. Professional treatments will clear blemishes, plump up fine lines and wrinkles, and banish dark spots. Therefore, the sooner you get started, the closer you’ll get to your skin goals. 

Your skin treatment will give your skin the most visible result and get to the source of your skin concerns. Think of this step as the booster for all things to follow.  

Depending on what your skin type, age, and concern is, you will be directed to one or a combination of the following medesthetics treatments.

Hyperpigmentation

Photofacials cause a heating effect which either dissolves unwanted matter such as pigment or broken blood vessels, or multiplies the source creating volume. Results are quick to follow and long lasting.

Skin texture concerns

Chemical Peels use molecular acids that can penetrate to separate the top layers of the skin. This leaves the skin renewed and gives way to clearer skin with every treatment.

Concerns of the Back

You may become suddenly aware of acne or hyperpigmentation on your back if your wedding dress exposes this area. Back treatments and peels combat acne or hyperpigmentation on your back.


Skincare services to try 1-2 months before a wedding  

The following skincare services are great to refresh skin with no major issues. Unlike our medesthetics treatments, they are superficial services meant to provide a boost of radiance. In other words, they do not have the capacity to transform the skin from within, only externally.

The Facial

Facials are great for minor concerns such as congested pores, few breakouts, dull skin, or minor pigment imperfections. Once your skin has made a full recovery after 4-6 days, your skin should look and feel smoother with minimized pore size.

Dermaplane

The process immediately brightens the complexion, evens skin tone, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth.  This process delivers a fine shave that removes the dull surface skin and vellus facial hair.


Esthetics services to try 1-2 weeks before a wedding

We offer a vast spa menu in Edmonton. Our selection of brow services can help you achieve the look you want on your special day-no matter your original brows! Plus, try a lash lift! It is the perfect way to enhance your eyes for weeks after your wedding.

Aside from beauty facial treatments, we offer waxing services for your hair removal needs.

Brow Shape Before and After Gallery

Brow Waxing Edmonton

We have compiled some of our brow shape before and after images in Edmonton. Our signature brow wax, the Brow Shape, is your go-to for brow definition or a quick fix. It includes a precise shape using your facial measurements, gentle wax application, tweeze, and trim that will leave your brows looking clean and fresh! 

Generally, it takes 15-20 minutes to compete and lasts between 2-5 weeks. Check out our brow shape before and after gallery in Edmonton below:

Before and After Gallery

How long does a brow wax last?

Clients typically come in once a month for regular upkeep.

Can I tweeze between waxes? 

Tweezing between eyebrow waxes is perfectly fine. However, we recommend only tweezing the hair that grows slightly below the brow line. If the hair is too close to the brow line, leave it to the professionals! Precision is hard to achieve with tweezers. By leaving the hairs close to the brow line, over time your technician may be able to give you a thicker eyebrow, even if you can’t visualize it now.

What are the disadvantages of eyebrow waxing?

For many people, eyebrow waxing can make a huge difference. However, clients with thin or sparse brows may find little difference after the service. These clients may achieve a more satisfying look with brow lamination or microblading.

Men’s Brow Shape

Brow correction through continuous brow shaping

Depending on the amount of recovery needed from the brow trauma, you may need anywhere from two to six brow shapes to restore your brows to your recognizable, beloved shape.

While brow shapes are the best way to restore your eyebrows from an economical perspective, it is a journey that requires a time commitment. On the other hand, microblading is a brow correction method that immediately restores a pigmented-yet-realistic version of your eyebrows.

MedEsthetics Treatments

Medical Esthetics Spa Menu

Our spa offers medical esthetics treatments and traditional esthetics services in Edmonton, Alberta.

Advanced skin treatments

Chemical peels

Chemical peels are medical esthetics skin treatments. They accelerate the cell turnover rate by chemically penetrating beneath the surface of the skin to dissolve away dead skin cells.

They are customized depending on the current condition of the skin and desired results. As a result, they treat a variety of conditions, for example, pigmentation, acne, fine lines, dry skin, and more.

The first thing to remember when booking your peel is the recommended downtime of 2-7 days depending on the depth of the peel. Please review the criteria before booking your peel.

Photofacials

Photofacials use Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology to diminish brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, fine lines and other textural damage.

Over time, skin accumulates damage resulting in age spots and other pigmented lesions. Our skin loses elasticity which creates fine lines. IPL treatments are ideal for treating pigmented and textural damage that come from aging.

We recommend 4-6 treatments when treating the above skin concerns.

Types of Photofacial IPL treatments

While all photofacials emit light energy into the skin, the difference between them lies in their specific targets.

photofacial ipl

ALISA blasts collagen cells to boost collagen production. It target fine lines, skin smoothing, textured scarring, and large pores. Promotes skin rejuvenation.

ACLARA dissolves blemishes by destroying excess melanin cells. Recommended for removal of dark spots, pigmented scarring, and sun damage.

ALIVIA cauterizes superficial vessels and dissolves them back into the skin while flushing out the excess. It is used to treat vascular lesions.

Vascular lesions are due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetics. Subsequently, if left untreated these conditions can worsen, or mutate the skin’s texture.

How should I prepare for my Photofacial?

Advanced pedicure treatments

Our advanced pedicure or “pedícare” menu includes specific treatments for ingrown nails, nail fungus, and diabetic feet.

Ingrown Nails

Ingrown toenails can cause discomfort and lead to infection when left untreated. Pressure is relieved by clearing debris and carefully trimming the ingrown portion of your nail.

This process can take anywhere from one hour to an hour and a half depending on how severe it is or if the use of topical anaesthetic is necessary.

Anti-Fungal Treatment

Fungal growth on your nails can lead to discomfort, deformities, and discolouration. Infected nails are treated to help prevent transmission and further complications.

Your nail care treatment plan will require follow-up service and use of the anti-fungal solution and home care instructions provided with your service.

Diabetic Pedicure

Our Diabetic Pedicure is a specialized foot care service tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with diabetes. 

Booking this treatment begins with a telephone consultation to determine your eligibility for the treatment. Your consultation is free and can be booked online.

Advanced hair removal treatments

Our medical esthetics menu includes IPL Hair removal as a way to permanently remove or reduce facial and body hair. This treatment will deliver permanent results on any area of face and body, including male facial hair! Razor burn, ingrown hairs, and embarrassing stubble will be a thing of the past after your IPL Hair Removal treatment.

Brow Correction Edmonton

Brow Correction Edmonton

Help! My brows are a disaster.

Whether your brows were victim to teenage over-tweezing, a brow job gone wrong, or accidental trauma, we offer solutions for brow correction in Edmonton.

We offer a variety of methods to re-shape and reconstruct your eyebrows. It comes down to several factors, including how much time you want to spend restoring your brows.

How do you fix bad eyebrows?

Correction of a bad brow wax or over-plucking can be done via a series of brow shapes. The Brow Shape is Dermica’s signature go-to service for brow definition or a quick fix. It includes a precise shape using your facial measurements, gentle soft wax application, tweeze, and trim.

Generally, it takes 15-20 minutes to compete and lasts between 2-5 weeks. You may tweeze freely in-between appointments, however, we recommend that you leave the hair close to the brow line for your appointment.

Depending on the amount of recovery needed from the brow trauma, you may need anywhere from two to six brow shapes to restore your brows to your recognizable, beloved shape.

While brow shapes are the best way to restore your eyebrows from an economical perspective, it is a journey that requires a time commitment. On the other hand, microblading is a brow correction method that immediately restores a pigmented-yet-realistic version of your eyebrows.
