As we age, our skin tells a story—a timeline shaped by genetics, lifestyle, and the environment. Fine lines deepen, volume shifts, and elasticity fades. But aging doesn’t have to feel inevitable or unmanageable. At Dermis Advanced Skin Care in Ottawa, we guide you through each chapter with personalized, physician-led treatments designed to rejuvenate, restore, and renew your natural beauty.
Understanding Facial Aging
Not all wrinkles are created equal
Facial aging occurs in various forms, each influenced by unique internal and external factors. At Dermis, we recognize the nuances of aging and offer tailored approaches for every concern. The five core types include:
- Intrinsic aging – Naturally occurring changes driven by genetics and time.
- Extrinsic aging – Environmental stressors such as sun exposure and pollution.
- Lifestyle aging – Habits like smoking or high stress that accelerate aging.
- Hormonal aging – Often linked to menopause and the decline of estrogen.
- Catabolic aging – Accelerated aging caused by chronic health conditions like hypothyroidism or diabetes.
Each type affects the skin differently, from sagging and dullness to pronounced wrinkles and texture changes. Our role is to identify what’s affecting your skin and design a personalized plan to address it.
Smoother, Brighter Skin with Chemical Peels
Refine texture and refresh your glow
Chemical peels help reset your skin by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell turnover. These treatments target dullness, pigmentation, and fine lines—revealing skin that looks fresher, smoother, and more radiant.
At Dermis, our chemical peels are:
- Custom-selected for your skin concerns
- Suitable for a wide range of aging types
- Effective in improving uneven tone and texture
They can also be combined with other modalities for enhanced rejuvenation.
Restore Firmness with Microneedling
Wake up your collagen
Microneedling is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that promotes collagen and elastin production by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response.
This treatment helps improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild sagging
- Uneven skin tone
- Textural concerns
Microneedling is safe for most skin types and has minimal downtime, making it a favourite for clients looking to refresh their skin without invasive measures.
Targeted Rejuvenation with PRP
Your body’s own healing, elevated
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s growth factors to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Often combined with microneedling or used as a standalone treatment, PRP supports collagen production, skin firmness, and tone correction.
Ideal for clients noticing:
- Skin thinning due to intrinsic aging
- Laxity or loss of volume from hormonal changes
- Dull or fatigued skin textures
The results are natural-looking and progressive, reflecting the power of your own biology enhanced by clinical precision.
Non-Invasive Solutions with HydraFacial
Early intervention, lasting hydration
HydraFacial is a luxurious yet clinically effective option for clients noticing early signs of aging. With zero downtime, it deeply hydrates the skin, smooths texture, and enhances radiance.
Benefits include:
- Infusion of active serums and peptides
- LED light therapy for collagen stimulation
- Instant glow with long-term improvements
HydraFacial is an excellent addition to any ongoing skin maintenance plan.
