BOTOX
By assessment
Treat frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, mouth lines, neck bands and achieve the look of a brow lift with the injection of a purified protein known as Botox. Santé physicians use minute doses of Botox to relax selected muscles causing lines to gradually reduce within ten days. This same treatment is also a successful means of addressing excess sweating or hyperhidrosis of the feet, hands or underarms.

SOFT TISSUE FILLERS
By assessment
Santé’s medical esthetics team draws upon soft-tissue injections including Restylane , Perlane and Juvederm. These injections effectively soften or eliminate wrinkles and add fullness to lips. Larger volumes of these fillers can also be injected to achieve a “liquid face lift”, restoring a more youthful look without surgery.

LIQUID FACE LIFT
By assessment
Get the illusion of a face lift without surgery with Dr. Kristina Zakhary, Facial Cosmetic Surgeon at Santé Spa Calgary. The “liquid lift” is a non-surgical technique designed to help restore the loss of volume and sagging of the skin that occurs as we age. A safe and effective way to rejuvenate your face, you have no incisions and no scarring so no ‘downtime’ is required from work or social activities though you may experience some swelling and bruising which can be camouflaged with make up.

Dr. Zakhary performs the Liquid Lift using Restylane, a soft-tissue filler and may also use Botox, Photorejuvenation, and Microdermabrasion to achieve the best results for your face and skin. The Liquid Lift is a non-surgical solution treating hollowed and deflated cheeks, under eye bags or hollows and jowls.

GENTLE WAVES
$75; Series of eight, $525
A pain-free treatment which uses light to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, freckles and brown spots. The treatments are short in duration and may be used on all skin types. Although solo treatments are available, a Series of eight treatments followed by a monthly maintenance program is recommended to achieve the best results. GentleWaves is also the perfect addition to any Santé facial treatment to further enhance your skin.

CHEMICAL PEEL
$100; Series of six, $500
Improve your skin’s radiance with a single chemical peel or gradually smooth away wrinkles and age spots with a series of treatments. The treatments also stimulate natural collagen production and result in younger looking skin. Suitable for face, hands, chest and back.

MEDICAL MICRODERMABRASION
$125; Series of four, $450
This technique offers an effective way to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. Fine lines, wrinkles and the superficial skin damage that goes along with aging and sun exposure are all reduced. A highly controlled spray of fine crystals achieves deep exfoliation and increases circulation for healthier, younger looking skin.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
By assessment
At Santé Spa, our team of medical doctors and registered nurses apply pulsed light techniques suitable for all skin types and hair colours. A medically-based consultation begins the series of permanent hair reduction.

INTENSE PULSE LIGHT / PHOTOFACIAL
Single area: $175; Series of four, $600
Two or more areas: $350; Series of four, $1200
Treat skin imperfections caused by broken capillaries, sunspots, fine lines and rosacea through the application of advanced intense pulse light. Similar to laser treatments, this non-invasive technique takes advantage of the controlled energy produced by light wavelengths to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layer of the skin while treating imperfections without damaging the surrounding skin. The result: an easy, effective way to make changes to your skin.
