Your Skin, Our Priority

What makes Dermis different? Our team stays. In an industry where staff turnover is high, our core practitioners have been here for years — building real relationships with clients and tracking your skin’s progress across over 200,000 treatments.

That stability means better results for you. Your practitioner remembers your history, understands your goals, and refines your plan over time. And with training every 90 days — four times the industry standard — our skills stay as sharp as our technology.

The Dermis Approach

Every interaction with our team follows a consistent, client-centred approach — from your first call to your follow-up appointment.

01

Personal Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one skin assessment. Your practitioner listens to your concerns, reviews your health history, examines your skin, and discusses realistic outcomes.

02

Customized Treatment Plan

Your practitioner creates a tailored plan addressing your specific concerns — whether that's melasma, acne scarring, fine lines, unwanted hair, or volume loss — using the right combination of our 10 Health Canada–approved devices.

03

Expert Treatment

Every session is performed by an experienced, licensed professional using specific wavelengths for specific skin types. For laser clients, we always perform a patch test first to gauge your skin's response.

04

Ongoing Support

Your practitioner follows up on your progress, adjusts your plan as your skin evolves, and is always available to answer questions between appointments. Many of our clients have been with us for 5–10+ years.
