Skin Resurfacing Treatment Options

Located in Edmonton, our skin resurfacing treatment menu includes photofacials, peels, and dermaplaning.

Skin resurfacing is an esthetic procedure or personal use of an exfoliating product/tool that removes layers of damaged skin. It boosts the regeneration rate of skin cells and promotes collagen production. As a result, it enhances the overall appearance and texture of the skin. Additionally, it improves circulation and absorptive ability of the skin.

Skin resurfacing treatments

Methods of resurfacing include: chemical, mechanical, and light-based treatments.

LIGHT-BASED

ALISA photofacial

Photofacials emit light energy into the skin. The light beam destroys specified targets without damaging the surrounding tissue.

CHEMICAL

Chemical Peels

This type of resurfacing causes a chemical reaction at the surface of the skin that dissolves the bonds between the skin cells.

MECHANICAL

Dermaplane

The technician performs feathery strokes typically using a 10 gauge blade held at an angle over the skin to remove the surface level.

Anti Aging Skin Care: A Plan of Action in Your 40’s and 50’s

anti aging skin care

Anti Aging Skin Care Treatment Steps

STEP 1: Resurfarcing and Refirming

Anti aging skin care regimens begin with resurfacing and firming of the skin. Resurfacing is achieved through esthetic procedures that remove layers of damaged skin. As a result, this boosts the regeneration of skin cells and collagen production which results in the firming of the skin.

Methods of resurfacing include chemical, mechanical, and light-based treatments. Dérmica offers all 3 types:

Chemical👉 Chemical peels deliver varying depths of chemical exfoliation through the application of enzymes or hydroxy acids

Mechanical👉 Dermaplaning, delivers a fine shave that removes dull surface skin and vellus facial hair with the use of a medical-grade scalpel.

Light-based👉 The ALISA photofacial will boost collagen production, speed of cell regeneration, tighten pores, and plump the skin.


STEP 2: Clearing away hyperpigmentation

Our next step is to clear away hyperpigmentation such as sun damage and age spots.  The ACLARA photofacial removes unwanted pigment. It dissolves pigment by first pulling it to the surface, then forcing it to shed the spot within days.

Once your desired results are achieved you can maintain results with a refresher every 6 months, keeping your skin looking fresh and vibrant!


PROFESSIONAL SKINCARE AT HOME

anti aging skin care

Professional treatments go hand in hand with clinical grade skincare products. Consequently, we offer 15% OFF all Glo Skin Beauty products in-store with any anti aging skin care treatment.

Ensure that your products are age appropriate. Above all, they should be targeted to treat your areas of concern. Serums provide additional benefits, in other words, think of them as vitamins for your skin.

March Special- Up to 35% OFF dermaplaning

dermaplaning edmonton

SAVE UP TO 35% OFF your dérmaPLANE treatment.

Save 25% on our new dermaplaning treatment, dérmaPLANE from March 1-31, 2020.  Ask your service provider how you can save an additional 10% during your service.

This offer is not valid with any other offer/promotion. No pre-purchasing.

What will dermaplaning do for my skin? 

The process brightens the complexion, evens skin tone, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth.  

How does dermaplaning work? 

The technician gently grazes a medical-grade scalpel edge over the surface of the skin. This process delivers a fine shave that removes the dull surface skin and vellus facial hair.  

When will I notice my results? 

A: The results of dérmaPLANE are seen immediately following the procedure. The goal is to leave the skin feeling softer and looking radiant. Contrast is most evident when comparing the appearance before and after service, in those who have major build up and visible hair growth.  

Q: Are there any side effects? 

A: There are typically no side effects from the procedure. Your skin may feel slightly exposed and sensitive for 1-2 hours following. It is recommended that with any professional skin care service extended sun exposure is avoided for a minimum 24-hour period.
