Understanding Your Treatment
What Is an Anti-Aging Facial?
A Clinical Approach to Skin Renewal
An anti-aging facial is a medical-grade treatment that goes beyond traditional spa services to actively improve your skin’s health and appearance. It is a professionally administered procedure that targets the signs of aging at a cellular level, from fine lines and wrinkles to uneven texture and skin laxity.
An anti-aging facial is a specialized skin treatment designed to reduce signs of aging and improve your skin's overall health. Unlike basic facials, these treatments use advanced techniques to target specific concerns like wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Improved Texture
Smoother texture and refined pores
Firmer Skin
Firmer look with improved elasticity
Brighter Tone
Brighter, more even tone
Deep Hydration
Hydrated, plumper appearance
How It Works
Anti-Aging Facial Treatments in Calgary
Harnessing the Power of Advanced Technology
Our anti-aging treatments are designed to stimulate your skin's natural collagen production. Using a combination of medical-grade peels, microneedling, and radiofrequency energy, we work to improve skin firmness, smooth out imperfections, and create a more youthful glow.
Exfoliation, Collagen & Elastin Stimulation, Deep Hydration
Anti-aging facials work through three main actions. First, gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing fresher skin underneath. Next, various techniques trigger collagen stimulation and boost elastin production - these proteins keep your skin firm and bouncy. Finally, deep hydration plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Fibroblasts, Barrier Repair, and Cell Turnover
At the cellular level, these treatments activate fibroblasts - the cells that make collagen. They also repair your skin barrier, which protects against moisture loss and environmental damage. By speeding up cell turnover, anti-aging facials help your skin renew itself faster, just like it did when you were younger.
Concerns addressed: fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, dullness, uneven tone
Our treatments target multiple aging concerns. We smooth fine lines and deeper wrinkles, improve skin elasticity for a firmer feel, brighten dull complexions, and even out skin tone. Many clients see improvements in texture, pore size, and overall radiance too.
Areas we treat: face, neck, décolletage, hands
While most people focus on their face, aging affects other visible areas too. We treat your neck to reduce sagging, your décolletage (chest area) to address sun damage, and your hands to minimize age spots and crepey skin.
Our Technology
Technologies We Offer
Health Canada-Approved Devices for Your Safety
We utilize state-of-the-art, Health Canada-approved devices that are clinically proven to deliver visible results. Our technology provides a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin by targeting specific concerns without the need for invasive surgery.
Microneedling & RF Microneedling (Collagen Induction)
Tiny needles create micro-injuries that trigger your body's natural healing and collagen production. RF microneedling combines this with heat energy for enhanced skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
Chemical Peels (Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic)
We use medical-grade peels with glycolic acid, lactic acid, and other ingredients to deeply exfoliate and renew your skin.
HydraFacial & Dermaplaning
HydraFacial deeply cleanses and hydrates while dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and dead skin.
IPL Photofacial & Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Intense pulsed light targets pigmentation and broken capillaries. Fractional laser energy creates controlled micro-injuries to resurface skin and improve texture.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Heat energy tightens loose skin without needles or downtime.
PRP and Growth Factor Boosts
We can add PRP from your own blood or growth factors to enhance healing and results.
Medical-Grade Products (SkinCeuticals, Vitamin C, Retinol, Peptides, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid)
We use professional products including SkinCeuticals serums, vitamin C for brightening, retinol for renewal, peptides for firming, niacinamide for pore refinement, and hyaluronic acid for deep hydration.
LED light therapy (red/blue light)
Different wavelengths of light target specific concerns - red for anti-aging, blue for acne.
Oxygeneo
This 3-in-1 treatment exfoliates, infuses nutrients, and oxygenates skin for an instant glow.
Microdermabrasion
This gentle treatment buffs away dead skin cells using fine crystals, leaving skin smoother and brighter.
The Personalized Approach
Personalized Plans for All Skin Types
Customized Care for Fitzpatrick I-VI, Melasma, Rosacea & Hyperpigmentation
We create a bespoke treatment plan that is customized to your unique skin type, tone, and concerns. Our treatments are safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, and we have specialized protocols for managing conditions like melasma, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation.
Customization Sensitivities
We adjust our treatments based on whether your skin is dry, oily, combination, or sensitive. This ensures you get the best results without irritation. Every person's skin is unique. That's why we create customized facial plans based on your specific needs.
Safe Protocols Tones
We safely treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, from very fair to very dark skin. Our protocols prevent unwanted pigmentation changes. For deeper skin tones, we prioritize RF microneedling, microneedling, and gentle peels; we modify or avoid IPL and certain lasers to reduce PIH risk.
Combination Approaches
Often, combining treatments gives better results. We might pair a chemical peel with LED therapy or add PRP to your microneedling session.
Targeted protocols for specific rosacea, acne scarring)
Have melasma or hyperpigmentation? Dealing with rosacea? We have specific protocols for these conditions and acne scarring too.
Pregnancy/breastfeeding modifications
Pregnant or nursing? We'll modify your treatment to keep you and baby safe while still improving your skin. We avoid retinoids, high-strength salicylic acid, and aggressive peels; safe options include hydrating facials, LED (red), and gentle lactic-based exfoliation.
Seasonal timelines
Planning for a wedding or special event? We'll time your treatments for optimal results when you need them. For big events, book gentle facials 5-7 days prior; allow 2-4 weeks after peels and 4-6 weeks after RF microneedling or fractional laser.

Treatment Alternatives
Choosing the Right Treatment for You

We offer a range of anti-aging solutions, from injectables that restore volume to advanced technologies like RF microneedling that tighten skin from within. We will help you understand the differences between these treatments and select the best option for your goals.
How facials compare to injectables (neuromodulators, dermal fillers) or laser treatments
Facials improve skin quality and texture, while injectables address volume loss and dynamic wrinkles. Many clients combine both for comprehensive rejuvenation.
RF microneedling vs fractional laser vs IPL: which is right for you?
RF microneedling excels at tightening, fractional laser resurfacing targets texture, and IPL photofacial addresses pigmentation. Your consultation helps determine the best option.
When to consider minimally invasive tightening (FaceTite/AccuTite using RFAL)
For significant sagging, procedures like FaceTite or AccuTite using RFAL (radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis) technology offer more dramatic tightening.
When to consider combination approaches for optimal results
Combining treatments often gives superior results. We might suggest facials with injectables or alternating different technologies.
