Facial

Facial treatments may seem indulgent, but they are really designed to boost the health of your skin, enhance your facial complexion, and make you feel revitalized. We offer treatments and products to deep clean your skin and pores; remove unwanted hair; extract unsightly whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and milia; tone and tighten your skin; exfoliate dead surface skin; hydrate and moisturize; promote eyelash growth; and address some skin problems.

Consultation

Our doctor and aesthetician believe in providing you the best facial treatment options. Our doctor is available to assess and treat any medical skin problems. Our aesthetician will assess your ‘facials’ needs, talk about the outcome you want to achieve, and customize a ‘facials’ plan for you. Most clients find a combination of ‘facials’ options works best to improve their facial complexion and skin’s health.

Regular facials are a great way to maintain a radiant and healthy complexion. We offer many types of facials and facial treatments to choose from and they work best when done in combination and customized to promote your skin’s health and enhance your facial complexion.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning makes your skin look and feel smoother. It helps to promote deeper skin penetration of skin care products and boosts their effects. It also helps to reduce the appearance of facial scars and blemishes. Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation treatment. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently “shave” your skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with any fine ‘peach fuzz-type’ facial hair. We finish your dermaplaning treatment with hot towel compresses, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid moisturizers. The treatment takes 30 minutes.

Exfoliating

Chemical peels are used to treat a variety of skin blemishes such as sun-damaged skin, dark spots, texturally rough skin, acne, scarring, melasma (skin discolouration), and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels also smooth fines line, even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars (facial resurfacing). We offer different peels which are applied directly to the face. The peeling agent is time released. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. The peel remains on your face for about 12 to 24 hours before resuming your regular skin care routine. The peeling agent causes the outermost layer of your skin to shed (peel away) in about 2 to 7 days, stimulating new collagen and healthy skin cell growth, revealing a more radiant and even complexion.

Extracting

Extracting is often used in combination with other facials to improve the appearance of your complexion and promote skin healing. Extracting is a treatment that involves the process of clearing a clogged or compacted pore either manually or through mechanical means. Clogged pores can happen as a result of excess oily sebum and buildup of dead skin cells. Clogged pores can be blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, milia, and blemishes. Your skin is cleansed throughout the treatment and we finish by applying a hydrating moisturizer to calm the skin. Treatments usually take 20 to 30 minutes. It will usually take about 5 to 7 days for your blemishes to heal after an extraction.

Eyelash Enhancing

Full thick eyelashes make your eyes appear bigger and make your face seem more feminine. If your eyelashes are sparse or thin or you don’t want to bother with eyelash extensions, Latisse® can help transform your eyelashes. Latisse® treatment is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. Latisse does not provide instant results, it takes a bit of time. Latisse must be applied every day. It usually takes 2 to 4 months for full results of thickening and lengthening lashes.

Hydrating

Hydrating facials are designed to deeply hydrate your skin and increase your skin’s moisture level. If your face is looking dried-out (especially during the winter) and does not seem quenched by your regular moisturizer, it may be time to regularly schedule hydrating facials. We use nourishing hyaluronic acid and vitamin C infused hydrating facial treatments to ‘plump up’ your skin and reduce dryness and flakiness. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated with a smoother healthier complexion. Treatments take about 20 to 30 minutes.

Rejuvenating

Complementary to other facials, IPL – Intense Pulsed Light photorejuvenation has very little recovery time and few side effects. It can be performed on the face with relatively long-lasting improvements in skin quality and texture. Photorejuvenation is a treatment to help reduce the appearance of some of the most common facial skin conditions such as age and sunspots, acne scarring, broken capillaries, excessive flushing, freckles, hyperpigmentation (brown spots), larger pores, melasma, rosacea, skin texture problems, spider veins, and fine wrinkles. Clients may need multiple treatments, usually spaced 1 month apart to achieve higher success. A full-face treatment takes about 30 minutes. The IPL laser emits a light that is absorbed by the skin and may cause some mild discomfort that feels like a heating sensation or like a rubber band snapping against your skin. You have the option to request topical anesthetic.

Resurfacing

In addition to chemical peels as a resurfacing facial, we offer Pearl Fractional Laser facial resurfacing. Pearl Fractional Laser is a deep (ablative) fractional laser for those with light to medium skin tones and skin imperfections due to acne scars, rough and uneven texture, deep wrinkles, discolouration, and/or mild to moderate sun damage.

The procedure involves using a laser whose light is absorbed by the water in your skin and heats it up. You will feel fast, hot pinches as the laser pulses place tiny holes in the skin and selectively remove columns of damaged tissue. As a result, a portion of the outermost layer of your skin will slough (peel) off over a period of many days leaving a smoother even-textured skin.

The treatment stimulates your body’s natural process for creating new collagen, plumping the skin from below to reverse the appearance of skin acne scarring. A topical anesthetic cream will be applied prior to treatment to alleviate most of the discomfort. Treatments take about 15 minutes. Most clients need 2 treatments to achieve optimal results.

Toning and Tightening

A non-invasive laser, Laser Genesis™ works to gently heat the upper layer of the skin. The Laser Genesis™ will stimulate collagen regrowth to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, tighten pores, reduce oil production, improve overall tone and texture on the skin, get rid of sun damage and help to diminish any redness on the skin. A treatment is relaxing lasting about 45 minutes. Generally, you will require between 4 and 8 treatments, possibly more, spaced about a month apart, for optimal results. Many clients opt to have regular maintenance sessions after the initial treatment period.

Skin Care Maintenance

Once your facial complexion has significantly improved and optimal skin results have been achieved, it is important to maintain the health of your skin. We have a selection of skin care products and can customize a skin maintenance program for you to keep your skin’s complexion healthy.
