VAIN AND PROUD OF IT!!

Your skin deserves to shine as bright as your personality—vibrant, fresh, and glowing. At Dot Calm in inner-city Calgary, we’re all about giving you confidence-boosting results, whether it’s through a single treatment or a custom combination. From tackling aging and sun damage to smoothing out acne or calming rosacea, we offer a wide array of bio regenerative options designed just for you (and even some you didn’t know you’d love!). There’s no shame in being vain—only in not treating yourself! Our skin aesthetic services include (but aren’t limited to):

Collagen Boosting Treatment!

While we don’t usually promote poking your skin, microneedling is the exception! Using a 12-point needle cartridge, this treatment creates micro-controlled injuries to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a softer, more youthful glow. Over a series of treatments, these collagen and elastin boosts can reduce or even erase fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage.

Worried about needles? Don’t be—this isn’t that kind of needle. Concerned about discomfort? We’ve got you covered with numbing cream to keep things comfortable.

For the best results, we recommend a series of 3–5 treatments. Keep in mind, there’s about 24-48 hours of downtime due to pink/redness, so you may want to reschedule that modeling gig or blind date. Or, if you’re bold, rock the red and own it! Expect some light peeling over the next 3–4 days, but nothing worse than a mild sunburn. Your radiant skin is totally worth it!

We have outdone ourselves with this new cutting-edge plant-based technology! EXO|E Revitalizing Complex is a complete and perfectly formulated set of active natural plant cell factors. These tiny powerhouses derived from plant cells are like the beauty messengers of the cellular world.  Using Microneedling, Exosome facial is an ideal and natural treatment to reduce and reverse signs of aging, sunspots, rosacea, acne scaring, dark circles under the eyes, hollowed face, and skin integrity issues.  It also treats stretch marks and hair loss.

It doesn’t just temporarily mask the signs of aging; it promotes long-lasting cell rejuvenation. It’s like hitting the reset button on your skin. This treatment produces rapid rejuvenation results unlike any other growth factor therapy out there. NO JOKE! This is why we are so excited about this.

You will receive a 5-day pre-treatment detox exosome serum kit as well as a 5-day post-treatment repair exosome serum kit.

(Please read the FAQ section for all the information about exosomes.)

Don’t mistake this treatment for a bad Halloween costume! The magic lies in the growth factors from your own blood, working hard to stimulate collagen, smooth wrinkles, and give your skin a radiant, youthful glow. You might even catch your reflection and think, “Am I aging backward?”

This growth factor regenerative facial is a powerful add-on to your traditional Microneedling treatment. Our expert team will perform a blood draw, spin it to extract those precious growth factors, and apply them to your skin during the Microneedling session. Using your own blood platelets turbocharges skin restoration, speeding up repair and delivering even better results than Microneedling alone.

If you’re ready for a skincare upgrade, the vampire facial is your ticket to a fang-tastically fabulous complexion. Just leave the garlic and wooden stakes at home!

FAQs

Exosomes are part of the cells responsible for relaying signals from one group of cells to another. Exosomes work as messengers between cells, transmitting important information that affects regeneration. They’re like the motivational speakers of the skincare universe, encouraging your cells to produce more collagen, elastin, and all the good stuff that keeps your skin plump and firm. This makes exosomes an important part of anti-aging therapy. As we age, skin cells lessen their ability to regenerate. Exosomes slow the aging process by encouraging skin regeneration on a cellular level. This is why exosome rejuvenation therapy is so effective when applied back onto the skin.

Our EXO|E treatment kit has a concentrated dose of plant-based factors, anti-inflammatory factors, VegF and over thousands of additional factors per application.

This specific Exosome facial treatment:

  • Pairs best with Microneedling 
  • Has a blend that signals the skin to stop detrimental inflammation
  • Up to a 3X faster recovery with Microneedling treatments
  • 10X stimulation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in one treatment
  • Offers 20X the amount of cell signalling

What are Exosome Therapy’s rapid benefits?

  • No downtime or blood draw
  • Tightens and firms the skin
  • Improves pigmentation, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rosacea, eczema, acne, psoriasis
  • Dark under-eye circles
  • Sunken under eye
  • Skin texture and integrity
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Improve scars and stretch marks
  • Regenerate and regrow hair, Improve quality and density of hair

We recommend 2-3 Microneedling Exosome treatments to start getting optimal results with a yearly follow-up.

Wow, someone is certainly impatient, aren’t we? It takes one to know one because SO ARE WE! We are seeing great results as early as 14 days after initial treatment. Results will continue to improve for months to come. If this isn’t fast enough for you, then we suggest returning to your regularly scheduled programing of using over filtered pictures cus they’re ain’t no pleasing you.  (wink)

Every person is different because of their age, skin chemistry and concerns.  After you reach desired results, you will have to have 1 yearly maintenance treatment.  We recommend adding the repair and detox serum to your regular skin routine. 

The Vampire Facial is a treatment without the bats and the full moon.

We extract some blood from you. Don’t worry, we won’t drain you completely. Then, we take that blood and spin it around in a fancy centrifuge, to separate the good stuff. The magic ingredient we’re after is the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is packed with growth factors.

Now comes the fun part. We microneedle PRP on your face.

So, if you’re up for a spooky skincare adventure and don’t mind a little blood, the vampire facial might just be your ticket to a frightfully fabulous complexion. Just remember to leave the garlic and wooden stakes at home!

The vampire facial isn’t an instant transformation. You will not walk out of the clinic with vampire fan club at your doorstep. It takes time for the magic to happen.

Typically, within a few weeks to a couple of months, you’ll start noticing some subtle changes in your skin. Maybe the fine lines will look a bit less prominent, or your complexion will have a slightly more youthful radiance.

Of course, each person’s skin is unique, so the timeline can vary. Some lucky people might see results sooner, while others might have to be patient for a bit longer. Just think of it as a suspenseful plot twist in your skincare journey.

It takes time to achieve eternal youth.  You will need 3-5 treatments depending on areas of concern. 

Facials

Let’s “face” it, we know what your face needs!

Variety is the spice of life! Which is why Dot Calm Wellness is pleased to offer a variety of facials, depending on your desires and/or goals. From acne fighting and tightening facials to a customized hydration facial, Dot Calm has you covered (on your face that is). We have various facial options, including the Hydro Jelly mask facial, the laser skin rejuvenation facial, dermaplaning and the mild medical peel. We have various facial options, including:

Think of the HydroJelly Mask as a massive hydration-packed Jell-O shot for your face—only this time, you’re not 18, and there’s no pub crawl bus or random person holding your hair back. You’ve levelled up… now WE hold your hair! Dot Calm offers a variety of Jelly masks that hydrate, nourish and work their magic on your skin. The best part? No hangover and definitely no empty calories.

This jelly mask provides deep hydration and a natural cooling effect while forming a soft, vacuum-like seal over your skin. Under that seal, the mask works to push nourishing ingredients deep into your skin, leaving it refreshed and radiant. We especially love pairing this treatment with a dermaplaning and/or peel session to elevate your results!

The Laser Skin Rejuvenation Facial can help with deep collagen production, pigmentation reduction, softening of fine lines, skin discoloration, rosacea, skin texture issues, sun damage and skin tightening. The cynosure Elite+ facials use 1064 YAG that allows people with skin type 1-4 to receive treatment. During the course of this non ablative treatment, your skin health visibly improves.  The laser emits short pulses of high-density light deep into the dermas that are absorbed by the target areas of the skin.  The absorbed energy is converted into heat which stimulates cellular response without damaging the skin.  There is no discomfort and no down time for this treatment. 3-6 sessions, 3-4 weeks apart typically are required as collagen production takes time. This treatment really does work. Even the boss gets it!

Say goodbye to peach fuzz, dull skin, and stubborn skin issues like acne, clogged pores, and uneven tone with this gentle exfoliation treatment. Dermaplaning leaves your skin feeling soft, glowing, with improved texture and softened fine lines. It’s a game-changer for acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, rough patches, or simply as regular skin maintenance to keep your complexion fresh and radiant. Dermaplaning enhances your skin’s texture and gives you that “lit from within” glow—it’s like a real-life Instagram filter for your face!

After thoroughly cleansing your skin, we exfoliate unhealthy layers of skin from your face (and yes, it’s oddly satisfying to watch). For even better results, we recommend pairing your dermaplaning treatment with a mild peel to target bacteria, calm redness, and boost radiance. Your skin will be irresistibly smooth—think silk pajamas smooth, except this time the silk is your skin, and pajamas are optional!

No Downtime Here!

Sometimes we want something mild instead of strong, gentle instead of rough, subtle instead of intense…ok, you get the idea. With the mild medical peel, when paired with a dermaplaning treatment, you get a safe and effective treatment for your skin, with no downtime to slow you down from your rockin’ lifestyle. The mild medical peel can remove damaged skin cells, revealing healthier skin underneath without the weeklong scary exfoliating face. A different kind of stripping down than perhaps you’re used to, but with results that are just as much fun! The peel solution will be applied to the area being treated (face, or neck) ever so gently to reveal a smooth, glowing skin with improved texture and decreased acne.

Treating things like sun damage, acne, wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone or redness (to name just a few), the mild chemical peel can be your best friend, minus the embarrassing stories on you!
