Acne Scarring Treatments in Calgary

A scarred face can be a huge deterrent to your confidence. Accidents, surgeries and acne can leave permanent scars on the skin. Shari’s Skin & Body Esthetics offers acne scarring treatments in Calgary. Our treatments can be that huge boost of confidence you were seeking all along. Your skin reacts to trauma by building scars and this tissue is not the same as your normal healthy skin. This skin could appear discoloured, colourless, raised and/or indented.

Earlier, topical treatments and surgery were the main treatments for scarring. However, today with advancement of technology, we are able to revise scar tissue using laser technology. The technology provides resurfacing to even out the scar texture, irregularities and discolouration on the skin. At our beauty clinic, we use top-quality products for safe and effective acne removal and treatment.

How Do People Get Acne?

Individuals get acne as their body begins to develop and mature. Acne, commonly known as pimples, is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles plug with oil and dead skin cells. If the openings are large, the clogs take the form of blackheads and if the openings stay small, the clogs take the form of whiteheads. Triggers and causes for acne include stress, hormonal fluctuations, inappropriate skin care products or incorrect usage of skin care products.

Pimples often appear on the forehead, face, chest, upper back and shoulders of the affected person. At our clinic, we offer many effective treatments for acne that reduce both the number of pimples you get and your chance of scarring. We are dedicated to helping clients struggling with acne and to restore health and balance to their skin. Contact us today if you’re concerned about your acne and want to book an appointment.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a commonly found skin problem which causes brown to grey-brown patches on the face. Generally, it occurs on cheeks, bridge of one’s nose, forehead, chin, and above one’s upper lip. Sometimes it can affect other parts of the body that gets exposed to the sun, such as forearms and neck.

Diagnosis

Melasma is usually treated from protecting the skin from getting exposed to the sun. One needs to reapply sunscreen for every two hours to protect themselves from melasma. As per dermatologists, an individual needs to wear a hat that completely protects their face from the sun rays.

When compared to men, women are far more likely affected by melasma. Especially during pregnancy, the hormones seem to trigger melasma.

Important Tips

Melasma is commonly triggered through excess sun exposure, pregnancy, birth control pills, and cosmetics. However, one can take care of their skin condition by following certain tips. They are:

  • Applying sunscreen on a daily/hourly basis
  • Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses
  • Avoid waxing
  • Gentle skincare product

Contact us today to learn more about melasma and hyperpigmentation and how they can be removed.

Skin-Tightening Treatments in Calgary

Shari’s Skin & Body Esthetics offers skin tightening treatments in Calgary. Our treatments are ideal to tighten skin on the face, neck, or body using good old fashioned laser treatment. This treatment can greatly reduce loose skin, wrinkles and fine lines. At our beauty clinic, we have adopted some proven methods to reduce the signs of mild to moderate wrinkles and fine lines.

Treatments for Sagging Skin

With time, our body begins to lose volume, and the building blocks of collagen degrade and are eventually weakened. Losing important necessary proteins could also lead to sagging skin. Therefore, it is important that you take care and ensure the proteins are not damaged by long exposure to the sun and the toxins in the air.

We could help you in this regard. Shari’s Skin & Body Esthetics offers a range of skincare solutions for you. What’s more? All this – without surgery! We use only quality products such as Alumier MD. Come to us and be astonished at the results.

Effective Fine Lines Treatment

If fine lines are not treated properly, they might form deeper wrinkles. They also tend to form in different areas of the face more quickly, resulting in facial folds. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s, we’ve got the right and effective treatment to reduce and get rid of fine lines.

Fine lines are the first stage of the skin’s aging process. Initially, they are shallow and small and may be very hard to notice. Usually, fine lines on the face are often associated with repetitive movements, such as smiling, frowning or laughing. We offer laser facial, an effective skin treatment solution to help you in this regard.

Contact us now to book an appointment or to learn more about the services we offer. Free consultations are available.

Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Calgary

Hyperpigmentation refers to areas of your skin that are darker in contrast to the surrounding areas; these spots can range from the size of a freckle to a large and patchy area.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

This skin condition is caused by melanocytes in our skin cells, which normally absorb the sun’s ultraviolet rays. They produce melanin, which causes our skin to tan. There may be increased melanocytes or hyperactive melanocytes in certain areas of your skin that overproduce melanin, resulting in a brown patch or hyperpigmentation.

Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation, which leaves large patchy brown areas on the face, mostly on the forehead, cheeks, and temples.

Why Do I Have Hyperpigmentation?

Most of us have some hyperpigmentation because we all have melanin, which reacts to sun exposure. Anyone who has had significant sun exposure is, of course, more likely to see the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Because your face, neck, and hands are the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun most often, it usually appears in these areas.

How Can I Reduce or Eliminate Hyperpigmentation?

This skin condition is typically easily treated, although it will likely reappear with sun exposure.

Skin Treatment Solutions

  • IPL Photorejuvenation
  • Peels & Dermabrasion
  • AlumierMD Sunscreen

Spider Veins Treatment in Calgary

Small, damaged veins that commonly appear on the surface of the legs and face is called spider veins. This condition might differ in colour and appearance. They are not harmful or painful.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins usually occur when the valves in the veins stop functioning properly. Excess pressure or sun damage can cause this condition. When the veins carrying blood to the heart weakens or gets damaged, it can result in a bulge and the vein develops branches. 

Skin Tag Treatment in Calgary

Skin tags are the extra growth of small, soft part of the skin that forms a bump on adult skin. They generally occur on eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts.

Should I Get My Skin Tags Removed?

Most people require the removal of skin tags when they begin to cause discomfort or irritation.

Although the precise causes of skin tags are unknown, they can be treated through destructive treatments like freezing, strangulation, snipping, and burning.

3D Eyebrow Microblading Will Enhance Your Eyebrows

Want to enhance the natural look of your eyebrows? Our experienced estheticians can help. 3D eyebrow microblading is a semi-permanent makeup treatment that helps create complete eyebrows. This technology utilizes a semi-permanent technique that uses a hand method tool and multiple microneedles. Also, the effect of this technique lasts for 1-3 years and gives your eyebrows natural looking hair-like strokes irrespective of the amount of hair present.

The HDi eyebrow microblading is formulated to match your natural brow colour and also to create realistic eyebrows. We can blend it with your own natural brows easily and flawlessly.

Initially, your eyebrows may appear quite dark, but they will fade over a two week period. A touch-up is required, depending on how your skin reacts to the pigment.

Our two-step process is for an initial eyebrow microblading appointment, followed by a touch-up within four to six weeks.
