ALISA for Skin Rejuvenation and Skin Tightening and Smoothing
Is your skin looking a little down these days? Want to tighten and brighten your tired skin? We recommend the ALISA photofacial treatment. ALISA is ideal for treating dull skin appearance, textural damage such as scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores.
How does ALISA work?
We treat textural damage with phototherapy. Photofacials emit light energy into the skin. The light beam destroys specified targets without damaging the surrounding tissue. This process promotes the production fresh and plump new cells, increase collagen production, circulation, and cell turnover rate. This treatment can be performed on small to large areas of the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms!
Your skin will look and feel younger, brighter, tighter, and supple.
We use Sharplight’s Formax-VP System. Their DPC technology makes your treatments safe and effective in less time. Above all, you can rest assured that your treatment is performed by a qualified technician with your comfort in mind.

What is a vascular lesion and where do they come from?
Vascular lesions are due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetics. Frequent, consistent redness and broken capillaries are typical characteristics present of these types of conditions.
Vascular lesions are most commonly found in the facial and neck area. If left untreated these conditions can worsen, or mutate the skin’s texture.
Vascular Lesion Treatment
We treat these conditions with phototherapy. Photofacials emit light energy into the skin. The light beam destroys specified targets without damaging the surrounding tissue. After that, the blood coagulates and the vessels break into tiny particles that are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
The ALIVIA photofacial will diminish redness and dissolve broken capillaries on areas of the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

Results last longer than shaving
Hair grows back thinner and less-apparent each time you wax

Helps with body odour by removing sweat-producing hair
Removes dead skin cells making your skin feel smooth
Male Waxing Demographics- Who waxes?
Professional men in business attire, such as lawyers, bankers, government officials, businessmen, etc. Waxing removes body hair that may interact with textiles in their clothes. This friction creates heat and sweat production. Men who wax go trough their day confident in the way they smell.
Men who value fitness, like athletes, swimmers, bodybuilders, and men who simply enjoy the gym. By removing body hair that hides muscle definition, men can show off their hard work down to the finest detail.
Men with active sex lives. We can’t speak for all women, but we feel safe in saying that back hair is not sexy. Men who wax look well-groomed and refined.
Forward-thinking men who recognize a clean appearance can improve their prowess in their social and business lives.
Not only does waxing improve your confidence by giving you a clean and sophisticated look, you can feel secure about the way you smell throughout the day. Results are long lasting. Come for a visit at Dérmica.
