Beauty & Spas in Oakville

Though it's been years since Liliana graduated from esthetics school, she has yet to stop learning. She is always seeking out the latest beauty technologies to improve her practice, such as a Zerona fat-reduction laser, laser hair removal, and radio-frequency cellulite treatments. Over the years, she has performed more than 20,000 of these noninvasive procedures, custom-tailoring each and every one to her individual client's needs.

Antech Hair & Skin Clinics’ ensemble of highly trained staff members have been revamping hair and skin via a combination of effective technology and natural biostimulants for more than 25 years. Private, personalized treatments bolster appearances through microdermabrasion with the DermaPod system, instant teeth-whitening sessions, and IPL hair-removal treatments that smooth bodies for faster swims to work. Meanwhile, the center's signature five-step hair-loss therapy merges scientific serums and herbal remedies to cleanse follicles of growth-inhibiting debris and help heads grow glossy crops of hair.

At Rejuvederme, clients can make fresh starts with noninvasive cosmetic procedures and the guidance of a cosmetic physician and a nurse. The physician meets with clients for complimentary consultations to determine skincare needs and possible treatments. After consultations, the staff recommends services to tone, de-fuzz, or clarify skin with noninvasive lasers and Obagi Skincare products.

The clinic has the modern, spacious feel of a hotel lobby: A frosted glass wall divides the front desk from the waiting area, which then opens to private treatment rooms. Brightening the palette of white and mint, vases brim with birds of paradise, palm fronds, and spider mums.

Aesthetician Maryam Ghany had been searching for ways to enhance her eyelashes when she discovered extensions in 2008. Thrilled by the prospect of beating Bambi's batting average, she earned an advanced certification as an eyelash-extension technician the same year, and opened MyLash Canada 12 months later. Ghany has been an aesthetician since 1999, experience that gives her special insight into skincare and evinces her love of working with people—she describes her clients as "royalty."

Currently, she pours her expertise into recruiting highly educated technicians for her team, and teaching seminars that train new technicians in eye health and safety as well as the artistic application of extensions. The experts use a Health Canada–approved adhesive that makes lashes stay put for two to four weeks and never touches the skin, nixing the need to apply mascara or brush lashes against oiled bicycled chains.

The multifaceted approach to facial embellishment by Bellezza Mia’s owner and well-travelled aesthetician, Gavina Tapia, derives from her more than 20 years of industry experience in Peru, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. Tranquility washes over her bright white spa as she rejuvenates weathered frontispieces with complexion-reviving facials, eyebrow threading, and expert makeup application. More meticulous beauty regimens are available for special occasions, such as weddings or graduations, and permanent makeup services prepare clients for even longer engagements, such as Hundred Years' War reenactments.

Light Touch Med Spa's experienced, licensed, and certified laser technicians wield FDA- and CSA-approved equipment to improve the natural aesthetics of their patients. Infrared lights beam over sagging skin, tightening areas by penetrating the deep tissue and stimulating collagen growth. Fine lines and wrinkles are diminished under the micropulses of lasers and radio waves, while intense pulsed light and lasers tackle superficial and deeper leg veins. No matter what the treatment, clients can take advantage of free consultations to learn more about their procedure and get close enough to the laser technicians to call them "Punkin."
