Beauty & Spas in Richmond

Scalpels and sutures have no place at Celebrity Laser Care. Instead, the clinic's skilled technicians use high-tech treatments to help tighten skin, contour curves, and eliminate unsightly marks. The facility offers a host of nonsurgical methods to combat signs of aging; for instance, the skin-tightening treatment heats the skin beneath the surface to help tighten almost any bodily area, such as the face, neck, abdomen, or arms. The Limelight IPL targets brown spots and sun damage, and works even better when matched with the exfoliating, diamond-tip microdermabrasion treatment. Beyond treating signs of aging, the technicians can blast body hair and swat away spider-vein webs and their confused arachnid inhabitants, all with their powerful, but safe, laser systems. Upon entering the crisp-white facility, patrons will notice a gallery of pharmaceutical-grade skincare products, such as Obagi, DCL, and Jane Iredale cosmetics, which may be used during facials or other services.

Laser technicians at Surrey’s Smooth Laser Clinic use Cutera and Radiancy lasers to tone skin and minimize blemishes. Each treatment comes with a complimentary skin analysis so that technicians can focus their efforts, whether to diminish acne or turn moles into chocolate. An alternative to lasers, the AFA peel nourishes skin with a blend of amino acid antioxidants and clay from the earth. Each treatment takes place in a private room whose black-and-white line drawings and sculptures contribute to a minimalist decor.

After graduating from the Blanche Macdonald Centre in 2001, Lauren went on to work at two of Vancouver's leading salons, but soon found she wanted to run her own business.

Today, Lauren gives her clients the confidence that comes with looking one's best with her full lineup of esthetic services including bikini waxes, which she considers her specialty.

Elegance Medi Spa's cosmetic procedures entwine Eastern modalities with noninvasive Western technology. Using this mix, the staff of certified technicians can help patients vanquish flab with an FDA-approved LipoLaser, banish unwanted hair with laser hair-removal services using the LightSheer XC diode laser, and fade discolouration with teeth whitening. No matter what aesthetic treatment patients choose, they first undergo a comprehensive consultation to discuss their concerns, goals, and favourite celebrity baby names.

The technologically advanced treatment rooms at Dermascience Laser & Skin Care are almost as enticing as the celebrity-endorsed treatments that take place inside them. With an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, patrons can play their own device's movies onto a high-definition television screen or watch Netflix movies, television shows, and YouTube videos while enjoying services such as infrared sauna dry-heat therapy, which can burn up to 600 calories in a 30-minute session. Among the centre's main attractions are its Intraceuticals oxygen facials, prized by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Madonna, which leave skin dewy and hydrated. Boosts of bronze come courtesy of environmentally friendly and organic SunFX spray tanning, which comes in three colour levels for a beach-friendly, natural look. To further keep skin glowing, diamond microdermabrasion buffs away fine lines, acne scars, and stubborn crumbs you always thought were freckles. As aestheticians move beyond the face, waxing services and laser hair-removal treatments prettify fuzz-ridden areas while clients remain comfortable atop each treatment room's heated bed.
