Do lash and brow growth serums really work?
You bet they do! While some work better than others, many contain a special formula to thicken and strengthen eyelashes and eyebrows.
Our top 3 rated serums include EyEnvy, Latisse (must be prescribed), and Adoreyes. Unfortunately, EyEnvy was discontinued and is no longer available in Canada as a lash and brow growth serum.
Adoreyes boasts their Triple Peptide Complex technology:
The Vitamin and Hydro Complex with Biotin, Niacinamide, and Panthenol moisturizes lashes and brows to make them look lush and beautiful while offering significant results without harmful ingredients.
Botanical Extracts such as pumpkin and grape seeds boost the health of natural lashes and eyebrows by conditioning and protecting them from breakage and dryness.
The Repair and Damage Complex with Arginine and amino acids rejuvenates and fortifies eyelashes and eyebrows.
Treat and hydrate…

We offer microblading in Edmonton, Alberta. We know you’re gonna love your microblading and we want to help you keep it as long as possible. Here are some tips on lasting microblading results.
Minimize sun exposure
Keep your face shaded from the sun as often as possible to help prevent premature pigment loss. Avoid direct sunlight, this can cause the pigment to fade and irritate the skin.
Minimize use of anti-age products on brows
Hydroxy acids such AHA/BHA, Vitamin C concentrates, and other exfoliants can compromise the results and longevity of your microblading. For lasting microblading results, minimize these products during healing time.
Once your brows begin scab or flake, apply a small amount of the moisturizer over the brows after washing in the morning and evening. During your recovery, your brows may feel a bit itchy. Applying a cooling mask such as the Cucumber Recovery Mask reduces irritation.
Avoid overworking the skin
Be gentle when cleansing, exfoliating, or applying brow makeup or other products in the brow area as this can overstimulate the skin.
Gently cleanse lower half and forehead with your daily cleanser in the morning. When rinsing cleanser away, use a warm face cloth avoiding drip from forehead onto brows.
Dampen a clean gauze or cotton pad with the cleanser and gently wipe brows in outward motion. Blot dry with dry gauze/pad.
Once your brows begin scab or flake, apply a small amount of the moisturizer over the brows after washing in the morning and evening.
We offer microblading services on Whyte avenue in Edmonton, Alberta. As skin experts, knowledge of the skin gives Dérmica comprehensive insight. We have over 10 years of experience delivering this procedure. Here are some frequently asked questions.
Is microblading painful?
With proper numbing and preparation of the skin, most clients will report a 0.5/5 at the beginning and a 3/5 towards the end of their service. Personal pain tolerance also has a lot to do it.
Avoid morning coffee on appointment day.
Tips to minimize discomfort during your appointment
To decrease pain level, we recommend taking some precautions prior to your appointment. For example, avoid all forms of caffeine the morning of your appointment and get enough sleep the night before. Menstruation may cause extra sensitivity in women.
If you are taking any medication we recommend talking to your pharmacist. Some medications are a contraindication to microblading, for example, blood thinners. Blood thinners thin the blood which cause you to bleed more during microblading. This can result in less retention of pigment.
How much does microblading cost?
Brow design is not ‘one size fits all’. Nor do all brows start with the same foundation. That is why we offer 3levels of microblading at Dérmica:
I: Provides up to 30% brow coverage. It is often selected when the goal is to increase the definition of your brow line, add density to thinning areas, fill small gaps and scars, or balance the overall brow shape.
II: Remodels your brow shape, balances highly uneven brows, fill-in gaps, scars, increases density and thickness in sparse brows. It provides an additional 60% brow coverage.
III: Restores your brows from tip-tip and top-bottom with a complete coverage of severely thinned brows or missing brows.
What is the healing time for microblading?
Microblading requires down time. Healing can take up to 10 days and varies with each individual. You may encounter certain indications as you heal.
Are there risks for microblading?
Microblading, like all other forms of tattooing, has risks associated with the procedure that though uncommon- such as the transmission of blood borne pathogenic organisms or reactions to pigment ingredients- must be reviewed. Please review the list of contraindications before booking your service.
Longevity of service
This process can take up to 3 years with proper care and maintenance. The longevity of your procedure comes down to the following factors: The depth of the incision, the thickness of the skin, and pre and post treatment care.
Making the incisions too deep will cause the pigment to be deposited in the dermis layer of your skin thereby making your procedure permanent. Not going deep enough will make your brows fade prematurely.
As far as skin thickness is concerned, thicker skin generally means that there are more pores and the skin is oilier. The skin thins as we age so typically, older people have thinner skin, as well as people with a fair skin tone.
We help you take necessary precautions with Pre-Treatment guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness, and to increase the success rate of your microblading procedure.
Generally speaking, lash tint is safe and does not damage the eyes. The tints used on eyelashes are a mild version of hair dye. Usually, they are vegetable-based with a very low peroxide content. If or when there is irritation, it can be due to previous conditions such as sensitive or watery eyes, folliculitis, or skin irritations surrounding the eye area or other forms of dermatitis.
If someone is experiencing a case of folliculitis it could also be attributed to that. Otherwise, in a professional setting the service is safe.
What should you avoid after eyelash tint?
You should avoid the application of eye makeup and cleansing of the eye area for up to 48 hours if possible. Doing so allows the colour to properly saturate and set into the cuticle of the hair.
How often is it safe to tint eyelashes?
Eyelash tinting can be done every 4-6 weeks.
Does tint weaken the eyelashes?
Lash tint does not weaken the lashes. As mentioned above, the tint is a mild formulation that does not change the hair growth pattern or penetrate deep into the hair. However, like any form of chemical processing- mild or intense- you should always be conditioning, not only for the health of the hair but also to prolong the results of your service.
Located in Edmonton, we offer treatment for nail fungus. There are 3 major categories of nail fungus sources:
Ill-fitted shoes
Tight-fitting shoes create pressure that traumatizes the nail therefore making it vulnerable to infections.
Improper pedicures
What constitutes an improper pedicure? Examples include reusing of disposable tools, poor cleaning protocols, and cross contamination. The risk of cross contamination is high when a Service Provider jumps between two simultaneous pedicures in order to maximize the number of clients served.
People with healthy, unbroken skin won’t regularly have an issue with improper pedicures. However, someone with unhealthy feet may fall prey to a fungus infection.
Shoe humidity
Athletes are most likely to develop fungus infections due to the humidity in their shoes. In addition, they often use locker rooms which are known to provide conditions that make fungi thrive (humidity).
In addition to humidity, runners in particular create extra pressure as their feet pound the pavement. This pressure traumatizes the nail therefore making it vulnerable to infections.
Nail Fungus Treatment
There are different levels of nail fungus treatment.
Anti-fungal drops
This is something you can do at home. The natural toenail takes one year to replace itself. This is the amount of time it will take to care for your feet with drops.
Advanced pedicure
In an Anti-Fungal Tx, we cut the nail down to a safe point in order to cut and scoop as much fungus out. We then insert soaked therapeutic pads where the fungus was removed. As a result, there is less area for moisture to collect.
Your service provider will provide you with post care to continue to care for your infected nail at home.
Located in YEG, Dérmica offers Brow Lamination services. Brow Lamination is a perming service that sets your brows into position creating a fuller, more structured appearance. It can camouflage sparseness in the brows, add volume, and is on-trend with the natural brow look thats in right now.
How long does eyebrow lamination last?
Depending on the natural texture and condition of your brows prior to the service, the results can last anywhere from six to 12 weeks. The service can be paired with a brow tint to increase the contrast of the brow and add more definition.
Do brows go back to normal after lamination?
The eyebrows eventually go back to normal. The reason for this is because lashes and brows naturally replenish the strands about 20% every two weeks. So, the treated brow hair is replaced and the brows go back to their natural appearance.
Some people find that with continuous lamination services their brows can be trained to sit in a more flattering in-line position with the natural brow line. Lamination helps to tame unruly brows. It can really help people with coarse wiry brows to maintain them flush to the skin instead of sticking out.
Service Frequency
Our minimum recommendation is 6 weeks. This is working under the assumption that the person’s natural brow is in a healthy condition. This can be achieved naturally or be aided with the help of a brow growth conditioner such as Adoreyes.
Is brow lamination painful?
Eyebrow lamination is not a painful service as it is not invasive. You may experience some slight irritation due to the application method but any reactions typically subside with in 15-30 minutes.
