Skin Rejuvination
AFT PHOTOFACIAL
Advance fluorescence technology (AFT) is revolutionary light based therapy that allows clinicians to treat a variety of skin conditions
providing maximal effect on the problem area with minimal damage to the healthy surrounding skin. Acne, melasma, age spots, small vessels, sun spots and rosacea
are a few of the common conditions that AFT therapy can help.
What is AFT?
Advanced fluorescence technology (AFT) is a new light based treatment that utilizes the unused portions of light and converts them into clinically
useful portions of light. The result is excellent clinical effect with minimal risks to the patient.
Benefits of AFT:
Safe and effective treatments, virtually no dowmtime, minimal risk of complication/side effects, excellent
clinical results and Health Canada and FDA approved technology.
How many treatments are required?
Every person is unique: the same applies to treating them with AFT. The average number of treatments to
complete a photofacial series for a client is 5-8 treatments done every 3-5 weeks. The precise number of treatments varies based on the individual client and their
area of concern.
What are the treatments like?
The light is gently pulsed over the area to be treated. The sensation is similar to a mild rubber band snap. A two pass treatment
(going over your face twice) will take 20 minutes. After a treatment, the treated area will have a slight rosey glow but should have no other obvious signs of
treatment. Downtime is virtually nonexistent. Clients can resume all activities immediately after treatment.
What risks are involved?
Due to new technology, complications and side effects with AFT are low. Blistering, bruising and redness
can happen at the time of treatment but these usually resolve within a few days. More serious complications include scarring, hyper/hypopigmentation but are rare.
Who is a candidate for AFT photofacials?
Virtually every person is a possible candidate for AFT therapy. People who are photosensitive or who are on photosensitizing medication should
not undergo AFT treatments. People who have recently been on Accutane should not undergo treatment. Women who are pregnant should not have AFT therapy until the
pregnancy is completed.
Ask your AFT therapy clinician if AFT photofacial is right for you.
Microdermabrasion:
The DiamondSkin has been written about in prestigious dermatology journals and
is used by both medical and health spas all over the world. With our unique
patented system, you cannot go wrong. Advanced engineering technology, combined with the collective experience of dozens
of physicians and international skin care experts, makes the DiamondSkin the most
desirable option in microdermabrasion. A series of treatments create the best
results, allowing for more effective control and focus on your individual skin
condition and goal.
Why is crystal-free Microdermabrasion so popular:
1. There is no down time required for recovery with microdermabrasion and there is
little or no discomfort involved during the treatment.
2. One of the benefits of microdermabrasion is that patients can still continue
treatment with retinoid drugs and other exfoliation therapies without sustaining
any skin irritations. For example, some may go for microdermabrasion chemical peel
treatment as a 2 way process for their deep acne scars problems etc.
3. Microdermabrasion treatment is suitable for most types of skin and skin color.
As the "polishing" effect on the skin surface is purely physical, it does not have
any side effects.
4. Microdermabrasion is a very mild procedure as compare with chemical peels and
dermabrasion. Therefore, the cost of a microdermabrasion treatment are normally
easily affordable.
5. Microdermabrasion is the highest volume non-invasive aesthetic procedure requested
by patients.
What is Micro-exfoliation?

and wrinkles, brown spots, scars, and acne blemishes. This latest technology
utilized naturaL diamond chips plated to stainLess steeL surgicaL wand that
effectiveLy polishes away dead skin layers to expose heaLthier skin and promote new
growth.
Resurfacing using a DiamondSkin is similar to particle microdermabrasion and
chemical peeLs in its results, but without the adverse effects of Loose Aluminum-
Oxide particles, skin irritation, and other adverse skin reactions. Unlike other
exfoliation treatments, the DiamondSkin system uses no Loose abrasives to
contaminate you or the environment.
The FDA-approved DiamondSkin is setting a new standard for skin care. The procedure
is fast, predictable, painless... the PERFECT lunch hour peel.
Oxygen Facial
The DiamondSkin Microdermabrasion system uses oxygen infusion technology to help
speed up collagen production and soothe the newly exfoliated skin. The underlying
epidermis is also stimulated by abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes the
generation of new collagen and reveals new Living skin cells, which thickens the
dermis and improves resistance to the effects of aging.
How long does a treatment take?
Most treatments take about 20min of relaxing while we exfoliate your skin. Get up
and go, do it during lunch break! Benefits of Microdermabrasion:
• Remove older skin layer with soft vibration
