Best Photofacial Deal Ever!

best photofacial deal

Why choose one when you can have two?

Our bogo special is one of the best photofacial deals ever! Try ALISA for skin tightening/pore size reduction, ACLARA for hyperpigmentation, or ALIVIA for removal of redness. Click here for details.

Skin and Pore Tightening

ALISA uses yellow light (580-950nm) to blast collagen cells to boost production. It is ideal for treating dull skin appearance, textural damage such as scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and mature skin.

Removal of Redness and Brown Spots

On the other hand, ACLARA and ALIVIA use green light (535-950nm). ACLARA destroys excess melanin cells which are expelled from the body 2-3 weeks post treatment. This photofacial is best to lighten and clear light to dark pigmented lesions. 

ALIVIA cauterizes superficial vessels. Once cauterized, the vessels dissolve back into the skin. The ALIVIA photofacial is the best choice to diminish redness and dissolve broken capillaries.

Should I Peel or Flake After an Acne Treatment?

acne treatment

” I had my first acne treatment peel a week ago. I have not seen any peeling or flaking…” 

Do not fret as you are still in the early stages of the treatment. Patience is key with chemical peels!  

The visible reaction caused by chemical peels during and post-treatment varies per individual. There are a few key points we will cover as we help you understand your skins’ response and expectations for your recent acne treatment peel.  

1 | The waiting period 

At this point, it is too soon to rate the success of your treatment. Your skin is still undergoing the process of lifting the layer of skin that was separated during the application of the peel. Once the skin has fully separated from the underlying skin cells, it will begin to shed. This can take up to 2 weeks. 

2 | Not all skins shed alike 

When we google or hear the term ‘chemical peel’, we assume our skin will be immediately shedding in sheets or visible patches of skin.

The visible reaction through the healing process depends on the skin type and condition being treated. Oily and acne-prone skin is coarser and has a thicker oil barrier holding the skin cells together. Shedding occurs most during and after cleansing and even so does not flake like a dry skin type. Trust in the process and use exfoliant 2-3 times a week for an added boost.

3 | Number of peels  

Peels are most effective when delivered in a controlled manner in order to avoid injury and produce lasting results.

To begin, the skin is treated using lighter peels in order to increase the skin’s tolerance. With each treatment, the intensity of the peels is increased until optimal results are achieved. This measured approach allows for the application of stronger acids with less risk of causing adverse reactions or irreversible damage to the skin. Keep in mind that the stronger the peel, the more visible reaction during and post-treatment. 

Although the name and online visuals of the treatment can lead one to believe that all peels should cause major flaking and sloughing, this is not always the case. Be patient with your progress and trust that your skin is operating in its’ own unique way and the skin is rejuvenating on a microscopic level regardless of what you see with the naked eye.

Skin Wedding Prep: To-Do’s for your I Do’s

skin wedding prep
Skin Wedding Prep: a 3 Step Program for healthy manageable skin.

We recently received a question in our “Ask Dérmica” feature.


“Dear Dérmica, how soon should i start my skin wedding prep?”


It’s never too soon to start planning for your big day, especially when it comes to your skin. It can take several months for your skin to clear unwanted blemishes, plump up fine lines and wrinkles, and banish dark spots, so the sooner you get started the closer you’ll get to your skin goals. 

We’ve come up with a 3 Step Program for healthy manageable skin on your wedding day.

STEP 1: Professional Treatment  

Skin wedding prep typically starts with a professional service. 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 1 session of your selected treatment.  

Your professional 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 treatments. 

The Chemical Peel 

dermica peels

Chemical Peels are used to deliver deep exfoliation benefits that cannot be achieved by simple scrubbing. The molecular structure of the acids is so fine that they can penetrate below the surface and separate the top layers of the skin. This leaves the skin renewed and gives way to clearer skin with every treatment.  

The Photofacial

dermica photofacials

Photofacials are delivered using an IPL System that penetrates light directly into its target in the skin. The light causes 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. 


STEP 2: Maintenance  

Now that we have your skin where we want it, a routine facial should do the trick. This will also ensure that we can track our progress and intervene if your skin decides to backtrack.  

The Facial

Facials are great for maintaining healthy skin. They are also great for minor concerns such as congested pores, few breakouts, dull skin, or minor pigment imperfections. It may also be suggested as an opener to other services if you have heavy build-up in the pores.  

Facials are the most thorough cleanse, exfoliation, and zit popping session your skin will ever have. 


STEP 3: Home Care and Pre-Day Prep 

Now that you have invested your time, money, and effort into achieving this glow you should treat it right outside of the spa. Choosing the right products for your skin type is key to preventing the problems from reoccurring.  

Your skincare professional will help you select the appropriate products for daily use and guide you on how to use them appropriately. Not every product needs to be used according to their written rules and some may have other uses not listed.  

TOP 3 products to have on hand: Cleanser, Eye Care, Moisturizer.  

Although we cannot be there to prep your skin the day of here are some tips the night before: 

SKIN Wedding Prep at Home

  1. Double cleanse with your desired cleanser. Take your time massaging into every corner of you face and neck using circular motions.   
  2. Exfoliate using a mild scrub or gentle enzyme exfoliant. Make sure to include your lip and neck area. Having a fresh canvas will ensure your makeup stays and sets smooth.  
  3. Mask using a light gel mask for hydration or pore refining to shrink pores in the t-zone. Make sure you don’t let them set too long as you don’t want any last-minute mishaps.
  4. Eye Care because it’s a must always. This will help tone puffiness and lighten dark circles.
  5. Lip Care will help soften your pucker for that newlywed PDA. 
  6. Moisturize as per usual including your neck. Use good pressure to help stimulate circulation and increase your glow. 

Now let’s toast to the happily wedded couple and their glowing SKIN!
