Figure Out Your Unique Skin Needs with VISIA
Before jumping into any procedures, a great place to start is by having your skin analyzed by the VISIA Complexion Analysis System.

All of the information captured by VISIA will be compiled in a report that you can refer to during a consultation at SKINS Derma Care.
Procedures to Try Before Your Next Big Event
Once you have an understanding of your unique skincare needs, you can start trying different procedures based on the recommendations of a skincare expert, depending on how far away you are from your big event.
3 to 6 Months Before
Laser Treatment
Whether you have unwanted hair, unsightly veins, or skin lesions you want to get rid of, or are looking to rejuvenate your complexion, there are several different laser treatments available to treat a wide variety of skin concerns. These should be booked and carried out at least a few months before your event to give yourself enough time to heal and see full results.
Book an appointment with one of our skincare experts to discuss which laser treatment options can deliver you optimal results.
3 to 4 Months Before
CoolSculpting®
So you’ve been hitting the gym and eating well but can’t seem to shed those last few pounds of stubborn fat. While this can be incredibly frustrating, especially in the lead up to an important event, there are solutions. One of them being, CoolSculpting®.
CoolSculpting® is a body contouring procedure that involves freezing away stubborn fat cells in targeted areas of the body, such as the stomach, arms, legs, and under the chin. The word is that Khloe Kardashian is a big fan of the procedure.
After the treatment, most people will start to see some results after four weeks, however, full results typically take up to 3 to 4 months to appear.
It’s important to note that CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss procedure and is only recommended for those who are within 1 to 20 lbs of their goal weight.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane help to fill in fine lines and wrinkles or create more fullness in the lips.
Such fillers are injected directly into the skin to temporarily create a smoother looking appearance, and more youthful glow.
How long your results will last depends on the type of filler you have injected, but typically last anywhere between 6 and 12 months.
Facials
Having a facial targeted to your own unique skincare needs is a relaxing way to help transform the look and feel of your skin without injections or other procedures. Speak to a skincare expert to determine what kind of facial will deliver the best results for your skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat various skin concerns such as scarring, wrinkles, large pores, melasma, and rosacea.
The treatment uses small needles to prick the skin in order to increase collagen production and generate new skin tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
Many patients experience swelling, redness and discomfort for up to a few days after the procedure. And while you may experience some results immediately, it can take 4 to 6 weeks to see full results. Therefore, it’s recommended that you come in for the procedure a few months before your event.
Peels
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution loosens and remove surface layers of the skin, leaving you with a more youthful, rejuvenated, and glowing complexion.
1 To 2 Months Before
AquaGold
AquaGold is a safe and innovative treatment used by celebrities like Kim Kardashian West before hitting the red carpet. The treatment brightens and rejuvenates the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves acne scarring and discoloration.
Similar to microneedling, the AquaGold procedure is minimally invasive and delivers a customized solution made up of micro Botox and powerful serums directly into the skin through several tiny, gold plated needles.
These needles puncture the skin to create very minor skin trauma. Your body then heals these microscopic injuries by increasing collagen and elastin production. The end result is improved firmness, skin texture and appearance, and a reduction of blemishes and scars.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses small crystals to gently abrade the surface of the skin and remove the top layer of dead skin cells.
This helps to unclog pores, restore dry, rough and damaged skin, and reveal a youthful, glowing complexion.
Same Day
OxyGeneo 3-in-1 Super Facial
When it comes to non-invasive anti-aging treatments, the OxyGeneo 3-In-1 Super Facial is hard to beat.
Combining three amazing facial treatments in one – microdermabrasion, facial rejuvenation, and an infusion of nutrients and oxygenation – this treatment will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated, revitalized, and refreshed.
The facial treats your skin at a deeper level to give you a more youthful glow by restoring volume, promoting collagen production, evening skin tone, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and hydrating the skin.
Makeup Application
While pampering your skin is the best way to look and feel your best, makeup can also help give you that extra confidence boost.
Paired with nourishing facial treatments and proper skincare, you will be sure to be glowing, and look like a million dollars.
But some makeup can do more harm than good, clogging your pores and resulting in acne. Fortunately, SKINS has your back. We carry only the highest quality vegan, paraben-free, all-natural, mineral makeup with SPF to help you maintain that healthy glow.
SKINS At Beverly Hills EXPO Gives You the Latest on the Hottest Beauty Trends and Secrets
During a recent trip to Beverly Hills for the Aesthetic Everything EXPO, we picked up some of the hottest trends in cosmetic procedures.
And while not all these services have been approved by Health Canada and none are currently offered at SKINS, we wanted to give you an exclusive look at some cutting-edge procedures straight from Los Angeles.
Here are some of the top treatments that are making waves in Hollywood right now.
Threadlift
A Threadlift is a non-surgical alternative to the traditional facelift and helps to lift and tighten sagging skin.
The procedure is considered revolutionary in the beauty industry, as it involves pulling back loose tissue by anchoring threads in the skin using a needle. The threading also results in micro-injuries, which promotes collagen production in the soft tissue under the skin.
The procedure is completely safe and can be done anywhere on the body, including the face, breasts, around the knees, and neck.
Plexx Beauty Pure Plasma Pen
This non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment uses a pen and fractionated nano plasma to remove lesions, scars, and even loose, droopy skin around the eyes.
Franz Dual Mask System
Created by the Korean skin care brand, Franz, this Dual Mask System is the world’s first microcurrent facial mask. The treatment uses a sheet mask to deliver active ingredients deep under the skin by administering tiny electrical currents. The end result is a more hydrated, brightened, and rejuvenated complexion.
Similar microcurrent facial treatments are already being used by A-list celebrities such as Jennifer Anniston to maintain a youthful glow.
For many people, confidence is directly linked to beautiful, healthy skin. So, when preparing for your next big event, speak to the experts at SKINS Derma Care well in advance to discuss all your skincare needs. Whether you’re hitting the red carpet, walking down the aisle, or celebrating a milestone birthday, you’ll be bound to look and feel your absolute best and turn plenty of heads.
