Located in Edmonton, we offer spa treatments tailored for couples. A favourite treatment for couples is the Relaxation Massage, more specifically, the Relaxation Body Treatment.
This treatment starts off with a dry brush to exfoliate the skin. The Swedish Massage incorporated into this relaxing service helps to soothe and loosen the superficial layers of the muscles. Service is complete with a steamed towel press.
Your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and legs are then treated to a hot towel press. This promotes blood flow.
Other popular couples spa services

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 BrowShape 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.
We offer Lash lift and Tint services in YEG. Join us on Lash Lift Thursdays when all lash care services are 20% off.
Minimum lash length for Lash Lift
The eyelashes should be a minimum of a half centimetre long in order to do the service safely. If your eyelashes do not quite meet the required length, try using a lash enhancement serum for 8 weeks in preparation for your Lash Lift.
Is tinting the lashes safe?
Lash tint is safe. We use specialized dyes on eyelashes that have a relatively lower peroxide content of 3% as opposed to hair dye. The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in the specialized tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Tips to achieve healthier eyelashes
Removing your makeup properly is very important when growing the lashes naturally. Make sure that your lashes are properly cleansed down to the base.
Remember, the more obstruction you have along that area, the harder it will be for that hair to grow to its fullest potential. Avoid using very drying agents around the eyes. For example, some makeup removers can be very drying which is going to make the lashes a lot more brittle.
Try to avoid astringent or alcohol-based makeup remover on the eyes. Use conditioning serums that will feed your lashes with proper ingredients. Castor oil is a common ingredient in brow and eyelash conditioners. It is known to help promote length and volume in the eyebrows and lashes.
Lash Lift Care Instructions
Maintain your lash lift by following the recommended aftercare. Avoid water, steam, makeup for the first 48 hours. After that, try to use mild cleansers around the eyes. Avoid strong astringents or alcohol-based and oil-based eye makeup removers.
Waxing is great because you get a smooth finish that lasts for weeks. Knowing how to prep for your Brazilian wax will minimize anxiety and discomfort. We have some tips on making your bikini wax as pleasant as can be.
How to prep for your brazilian wax
What to wear? We recommend wearing loose fitted bottoms including pants and underwear. Breathable fabrics, for example, cotton, help sooth after your service. Avoid items like thongs or g-strings, bring on the granny panties.
What to do? Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours prior to your appointment. Exfoliation is important in preventing ingrown hairs, so make sure you are doing so at least twice a week. This is specially great for those prone to ingrown hairs or major irritation.
Does it hurt? Most clients are able to get through their appointment just fine, however, waxing can be painful in sensitive areas. You may take an anti-inflammatory 30 minutes prior to your appointment to reduce discomfort and inflammation following your visit.
Waxing requires 24 hours downtime, therefore, we recommend booking your appointment accordingly- no swimming, sweating, fragranced products, or sun exposure.
Booking your appointment at just the right length
Ensure your pubic hair is at least ¼ inch long prior to your brazilian wax service . Even though waxing is a common esthetics service, it is not without contraindications.
If your hair is longer than ¼ inch , we recommend trimming your hair down to ¼ inch to lessen discomfort during your waxing appointment.
Your esthetician will review your health history prior to starting your service. This will reveal any health conditions, medications, products, or allergies that may present safety concerns with the delivery of the service.
Our advanced pedicure menu includes diabetic pedicure treatments in Edmonton, Alberta.
Diabetes and Professional Foot Care
If you are diabetic, it is recommended that you maintain a regular foot care schedule.
Our Diabetic Pedicure is a specialized foot care service tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with diabetes. This gentle treatment focuses on maintaining foot health and preventing complications. Correspondingly, it is performed by trained professionals.
Furthermore, we use diabetic-safe techniques to address common concerns like dry skin, nail care, and minor calluses, ensuring comfort and safety at every step. Perfect for enhancing foot wellness and providing peace of mind.
Booking your diabetic pedicure
Firstly, booking this treatment begins with a telephone or email consultation to determine your eligibility for the treatment. Your consultation is free and can be booked online.
Foot conditions related to diabetes include thickening of the nail, excessive dryness and callous-building, and poor blood circulation.
Foot Care at Home
Keeping a balance
Ensure that your feet are properly dried after your daily shower or bath. This is especially important between the toes. While complete dryness after bathing is crucial, it is also important to keep your feet moisturized with lotions, salves or balms to keep callouses away.
Tips for safety
Keep your nails trimmed with no sharp edges to avoid cuts. Wearing comfortable, breathable shoes indoors will help to avoid injuries in the area. Without reservation, indoor sandals should be worn to protect feet from surface bacteria at minimum.
What’s more is how important it is to do regular checks at home to identify any cuts, abrasions, scratches, or possible signs of infection.
Weekly maintenance
Equally important is preventing the build-up of callous. Use a loofa or an exfoliating mitt to keep the feet free of excess callous.
As long as you take the extra time to keep proper foot care at home, you can widen the gap between professional pedicures.
Book your diabetic pedicure consultation in Edmonton.
Yes, you can have a pedicure if you are diabetic. Actually, it is recommended that you maintain a regular foot care schedule.
Clients have different options when it comes to levels of pedicure treatment. Some clients may only have a need for express nail and pedicure establishments. However, certain clients may require a clinical and advanced setting for their foot care needs. At Dérmica, our menu includes advanced pedicures. Lastly, there are clients that require a medical setting where doctors and medical staff offer medical procedures.
Differences in pedicure procedure when diabetes is present
If you are diabetic, there are precautions that need to be taken when doing foot care. If you are not being asked in an intake form whether you have diabetes or not, as a client, you want to ensure that you take it upon yourself to disclose it to your service provider.
Your technician should be taking the following precautions. When doing a pedicure on a diabetic client, one should be extra careful with the use of sharp instruments and tools that can puncture the skin. This is due to the fact that most diabetics are compromised when it comes to nerve sensitivity in their extremities. Plus, loss of sensation can make it more likely for people to develop infections that go unnoticed and untreated. Therefore, extra caution with one’s tools is a must.
Diabetics can also display other conditions related to their diagnosis, such as thickening of the nail, excessive dryness and callous-building, and poor blood circulation. These things should all be treated in accordance to specific methods used for people with diabetes.
Foot care and diabetes- home care recommendations
If you have diabetes, keeping proper foot care at home in between professional pedicures will widen the gap between visits to the spa.
Home care includes ensuring that your feet are properly dried after your shower, especially between the toes. Keep your nails trimmed with no sharp edges to avoid cuts. Also, keep your feet moisturized with lotions, salves or balms to keep callouses away. Use a loofa or an exfoliating mitt to keep the feet free of excess callous.
Finally, always do regular checks to identify any cuts, abrasions, scratches, or possible signs of infection.
