Not long ago, the only treatments available were lengthy, painful and often unsatisfactory. Some even caused further damage. Thankfully, new laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies are allowing us to successfully treat many types of redness simply, painless and non-invasive. For some of our clients who have never looked in the mirror and been happy with the face looking back, the results can be life-changing, You can see the difference after one treatment.

To discuss your options with Joanne,  please call 587- 897-1149 to book a free consultation.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo Rejuvenation is a newer painless  non-invasive treatment that diminishes redness, broken capillaries, spots, freckles, fine lines, large pores and more – quickly, simultaneously and with no downtime or recovery period required.  A fine layer of gel is applied to your skin and then  smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently placed on your skin and pulses of light are applied.  Treatment is generally administered in a series of procedures that proves excellent long term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. In fact, you’ll see results after just one session.

No wonder it’s so popular!

In the quest for youthful, vibrant skin, men and women alike share a common vision: a desire to look their best regardless of age. Microdermabrasion is the treatment of choice world-wide for skin health. It provides a simple, effective approach to healthy, youthful skin, by employing deep exfoliation and hydration and to treat aesthetic skin conditions.

This topical treatment refines enlarged pores and uneven skin tone/ texture and leaves the skin glowing with a firm refined and youthful appearance. With each continuing Microdermabrasion you will see lasting improvements in skin refinement. The treatment also includes a full facial.

How Does it Work?

Microdermabrasion treatment uses diamond shaped micro-crystals to erase epidermal layers at varying depths in a controlled manner. This regenerates and revitalises the skin. By mechanically altering the epidermis and sloughing off the surface layer of dead keritinase skin cells, Microdermabrasion invigorates cell renewal and promotes new collagen growth – essential for healthy skin.

There are many factors that influence cellular regeneration. For instance, the skin has a natural response to increase its thickness in order to protect the sub-layers of skin. Acne sufferers, for example, retain their skin cells, causing further congestion and thickening of the top skin layer. Other factors such as age, genetics, hormonal imbalance, lack of minerals, enzymes and vitamins all influence the epidermal cellular turnover and the reproduction of new, healthy cells. Regular Microdermabrasion treatments help to balance cellular growth and get your skin back on track.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion has fast become a favourite for those showing the early signs of ageing, pigmentation, sun damage and other facial imperfections. This is due to the advanced method of technology that is so effective yet so gentle, with virtually no side effects.

Treatment is completely non-invasive with no discomfort, down time or recovery period. Treatment for the face lasts only one hour and includes Microdermabrasion treatment, mask and steam.

10 ways Microdermabrasion will help you look great

1. Good skin tone
2. Fewer outbreaks
3. Softer skin
4. Renewed elasticity
5. Even skin colour
6. More youthful appearance
7. Healthy glow

For your Face AND Body

In addition to the face, Microdermabrasion can be successfully used on the neck and décolletage area, hands, arms, back and chest to treat the following:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Best results can often be achieved with a series of treatments. Thereafter, regular maintenance will enhance skin conditioning and keep your skin looking refined, refreshed, smooth and glowing. Following a professional Skin Analysis and consultation, we will develop a skin management plan specifically for you.

I have had serious acne on my face for almost three years and have used multiple products; different kinds of store bought face washes, natural and herbal remedies and other acne products, all of which I had followed carefully and strictly.  None of these helped. I had heard of the drug Acutane and its many successful cases which cured acne like mine, but the negative effects had outweighed the positives so I decided to go through with the treatment at Eden in Calgary.

Before getting into the treatment that I had, I want to explain my case of acne. I had large, lumpy; under-the-skin pimples that were situated around my mouth and chin that were extremely painful and annoying. I had bruised-looking inflammation and acne on the sides of my face by my ears and a number of large pimples on my forehead, all of which would breakout in massive lumps without heads, disappearing only to return later on.

When I arrived at Eden Cold Laser I entered a warm and welcoming room in Joanne’s home. She started by observing my face to decide the steps to further take. Joanne professionally and kindly explained what each of the issues I was having on my face were and what was causing my acne.  The treatments were performed over several days.

She started with a peel and she explained that it removed the layer of dead skin, and then followed by extractions.  She then began using her IPL machine all over my face, focusing on my forehead, the sides of my face and around my mouth. This IPL device sent a flash of intense painless light onto my skin any under the skin bacteria that I had.  After doing this she treated my skin with a healing acne mask. Immediately after the treatments I noticed the improved appearance of my skin in regard to redness.

The next day when I woke up I noticed a major difference.  The bumps I had around my face had decreased; the redness and pain had calmed down even more.  After seeing the difference so soon I was more excited and looking forward even more to my next treatment.

Throughout the treatments Joanne continued with the same extraction procedure as new heads had become visible due to the IPL, peel and the mask bringing everything to the top surface. She began using microdermabrasion on my nose for the blackheads and a cold laser machine high frequency that she explained “felt like a mosquito bite” which she used on my infected areas. It was a very fine needle connected to an electrical console and when it touched the pimples it would literally explode and ooze – kind of gross but very relieving as these would not have come out without using such a machine. She also used the cold laser which was definitely my favourite machine, as it was the most relaxing and calming. It had a small head with a blue light shining from it that felt cool but would leave your skin feeling warm. She also used it to rub in a natural healing cream that would calm redness and kill bacteria. I almost fell asleep and didn’t want it to stop.

After each day of treatment I saw a significant difference in my skin with less swelling, redness and pain and with the amount of pimples drastically decreasing.  My sister and Joanne saw the same results. By the final day I had gone from a face covered in red lumps to a much calmer and clearer looking complexion.  At the end of the treatment the discolouration had gone down and I could actually see where each pimple had been and the actual colour of my skin.  Before leaving she advised me to use vitamin E capsules as a healing agent as the large pimples that had been treated by the IPL would begin to scab and the vitamin E would help heal and prevent some scarring.

After returning home I really saw the results of the treatment and I was so excited to see something actually work. It has been two weeks since my visit to Eden Cold Laser; I can honestly say that my face is looking a whole lot better. At the moment my face is breaking out but at the same time it is healing and getting much better.  I was advised that my skin will get worse before it gets better, while I am breaking out in pimples the severity and concentration is drastically reduced.  I will be making another visit to Eden Cold Laser in the next month or two to have the treatments done again.

I cannot thank Joanne enough.  Throughout the whole time I was with her she was calm, professional, funny and extremely gentle (most people don’t consider extractions to be relaxing but I actually felt that way as she was doing it because she was so gentle). I will definitely refer people to Joanne and I would extremely advise anyone with acne issues like myself to give it a shot, as I see a major improvement!

Thank you so much Joanne!!

Before Peel

12PM Tuesday:
I applied the peel, as you can see from the pictures I had some mild acne present and a blotchy skin tone. I did not really feel any pain, mostly just a mild numbing sensation with a bit of stinging but it only lasted a few minutes.  After that I left the peel on all day until 7 pm.

Day 1

7PM Tuesday:
I washed the peel off 7 hours later using a mild organic cleanser and then applied the post peel.  The post peel did not hurt at all and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I will take another photo tomorrow at the same time to see if there is any difference!  I can’t wait to see the results in 7 days.

8PM Tuesday:
All Night: Very Itchy!

10AM Wednesday:
It itched like crazy almost all night so I was awake off and on!  This morning it has already started to peel a bit and a bunch of blackheads have surfaced.  This morning I showered and rinsed my face and applied nothing.  Tonight I will apply the post peel before bed again.  I hope it doesn’t itch tonight. As you can see from the pictures my skin is still very red.

8PM Wednesday:
Applied the post peel treatment and it stung a bit today.  The skin around my mouth and on my chin is peeling off.  My skin is actually looking really oily, not dry? The blackheads seem to be gone.  I did not apply any moisturizer to the peeling area because it feels fine.  I will start the cleansing and moisturizer application tomorrow. Hopefully I peel more than it is now because it is very minimal.

7AM Thursday:
I have to say last night it did not itch as bad and I had a fantastic sleep. This morning I woke up to a peeling surprise. While washing my face in the shower I could feel skin falling off.  Now the skin underneath is feeling very sensitive so I have stayed indoors and left the moisturizer on.  It is very soothing. I can’t wait to see my face in a few days!.

8PM Thursday:
My skin is hurting a little. But it looks fresh and very nice.  Still a little red. But I am loving this peel.

Day 3

9AM Friday:
My skin was very dry this morning.  It feels so tight and plump.  Maybe a bit swollen but in a good way.  I am really impressed with the peeling and the results that this has given me so far.  I should still have a few days of peeling left.

8PM Friday:
My skin is so sensitive and feels like it is burning but looks really plump and smooth. Maybe a bit swollen. I put lots of moisturizer on it.

10AM Saturday:
Woke up with really fry skin around my mouth where the sensitivity was yesterday.  My skin is still really red?  Not sure if this is normal.  I honestly don’t know if I notice a difference or not.  I will keep putting lotion on and hopefully it calms down.  My skin is so sensitive.

Day 5

8PM Saturday:
It is not so sensitive anymore. Just a little red but loads to sun damage has fallen off.  I have taken some pictures but they are not the best quality.

7AM Sunday:
My face is much better today, not dry or itchy anymore and feeling quite soft. A little bit of my usual bumps have come back though. I live in the middle east which is a pretty tough climate.  The water is horrible here and so is the weather with its unbearable humidity and scorching temperatures. So I figure if I would have done this back home it may have worked a little better.  I still have a day of healing so we will see what happens. From the beginning to the end you can see that it has evened out my skin tone.

Day 6

9PM Sunday:
My skin is starting to even out and most of the redness is gone.  Like I said a bit sensitive still but overall the skin tone has improved.  I would do it again for sure.

8AM Monday (Last Day):
The last day and my skin is pretty much normal again.  overall I lost lots of sun damage but I still have a bit of bumps.  It might still be sensitive.

Here are eight ways microdermabrasion can help to ward off the signs of aging and help you restore your youthful look:

1. Strengthens the skin and improves skin’s texture. While regular facials can give your skin a ‘workout’ and increase circulation to the skin’s top layer, microdermabrasion treatments go one step beyond the facial’s exfoliation capabilities and also help to strengthen the skin. This process speeds up the cell renewal process so skin appears healthier and stronger within days after the treatment.

2. Promotes healthy cell renewal. As we age, the natural cell renewal process slows down significantly. This means your skin is at risk for developing pigmentation, age spots and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion reignites the skin cell renewal process so your skin grows back quickly and looks healthier.

3. Tightens and tones the skin. Since microdermabrasion triggers collagen production, your skin will appear smoother, tighter and more toned a few weeks after each treatment. Over time, this creates a more youthful, sculpted appearance, especially around the jawline and forehead areas.

4. Can be combined with chemical peels. The effects of microdermabrasion can be enhanced when combined with a chemical peel. Chemical peels stimulate collagen production and can deep cleanse the pores so you are left with a smoother, more attractive-looking skin tone. The peel is typically applied after the microdermabrasion session so that it can sink deep into the pores. Joanne will be able to recommend the best chemical peel for your skin type during your consultation.

5. Can be used to treat age spots. Get rid of age spots and sun spots with a series of microdermabrasion treatments that buff away the top layer of skin and also speed up the cell renewal process so healthy skin cells can grow over it. Age spots can be minimized after just three to five microdermabrasion treatments.

6. Can even out an uneven skin tone. If you have an uneven skin tone with darker patches around the cheeks, forehead or chin area, and microdermabrasion can help to create a more even appearance. Since the treatment triggers collagen production, your skin becomes stronger, more resilient and appears more even.

7. Can buff away fine lines and wrinkles. Instead of turning to Botox and laser skin resurfacing treatments to get rid of lines and wrinkles, you can undergo a series of microdermabrasion treatments that help to buff away lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose and eyes.

8. Reduces skin pigmentation. Pigmentation is a common side effect of the aging process, but a set of microdermabrasion treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots around the face and neck and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.
