| - Having worked in the cosmetics industry for both L'Oreal & Revlon, facial care is heavily ingrained in my daily routine. Yes I'll admit, I am one of those people that invest heavily in food, travel, and beauty products. Yes, I slather an average of 8 products on my face daily and have tested my skin with everything from the floral lotion, to snail extract, or starfish products and get facials once a month. That said, this light therapy / laser experience was a new for me and their technology very much future forward. I got the SilkPeel dermal infusion treatment.
The Process: 1.5 hr from beginning to end, started off with being immediately attended to at the reception area by the clinic manager where you fill out a profile and medical record, then a personalized consultation with a senior medical consultant, followed by a registered nurse conducting the dermal infusion on you, and the grand finale of the light therapy. The staff there are extremely polite, sweet, and professional, and made the experience very much enjoyable. The consultation encompassed walking you through the process as well as the technology behind it, risks that are plausible, and what to expect in results. A nurse practitioner would then guide you into a room and assess your personalized skin type. She was very attentive and detailed in terms of explaining their products as well as what works best for you, and selected the combination that fit best to your personal profile. I find facials at any location always caters their products to their clients, but this location in particular was much more patient in explaining the reasoning and product choice they thought would work best for you, which I loved. The procedure of dermal infusion, then light therapy followed. Finally you leave with a bright and volumized skin and a skin samples for post treatment use.
Procedure: My regular facial treatments consist of exfoliation, cleansing, then product infusion. Dermalinfusion (their patented treatment) combined all three steps into one, saving time. They used a diamond tipped edge which they exfoliated your face. Admittedly I found this a bit rough as I have sensitive skin, and I noticed a very light scar post treatment along my nose bridge which I know will go away in three days time, but as much as I like diamonds, this exfoliation tip is probably not for me. The extraction vaccum that sucked away the dead skin was fine and felt like being continually getting small kisses. The serum infusion was pleasantly cool as it got layered onto my skin to take away the redness and was liquid and light and didn't feel like it was oily or weighing down my skin. There was no scent which is a plus as that's quite subjective at times. The light therapy, or laser treatment I noticed helped smooth out my uneven pigmentation and results were very apparent even though it's been one visit only. It was quite the light show and I personally found it a bit dizzy at times, but let's be real, lying there not doing anything, and yet get glowing results after 40 minutes of light exposure, pretty obvious decision that it's a Go. Their complimentary sample products included a specific lotion for post laser treatment that I am lathering on and has a soothing effect to combat the warm lingering sensation that's still on my face after 24 hours. Post treatment, I can see that my skin is visibly more bright and volumized, slightly smoother pigmentation, and less dry and creased in select areas.
Location & Parking: Free and abundant parking available in clinic plaza. Easy to find.
Overall: Would recommend the process, but limit frequency as facials like these are deeply penetrating and I can't see myself doing this biweekly. The interior is very clean, new, and makes you feel relaxed right away. Service is definitely a 5 star and hard to find such great consistency from all staff. Confirmation call would be best to confirm location as well as time and attendance as they have three different locations in GTA. Their website could be a bit more informative that focuses more on treatment remedies and types of treatment, and not just explaining patient needs, but worry not because in person they do a very detailed and great job walking you through. Two procedures in the time commitment of one facial. If only food and gym time worked the same way. Facials are amazing and my cells do all the heavy lifting. Give it a try, the results are worth it!
