Testimonials

Deanna,

I love my brows! Each time I look in the mirror I notice immediately that my eyes look more" awakened" lifted. It even makes putting on make-up more fun!

I first heard about Skin Deep Aesthetics through a co-worker who had received a complimentary facial she had previously won at a charity event. She commented on how good her skin felt after one treatment. I was curious, so I made an appointment with Deanna. I had been using various skin care products in the past and felt my skin was in pretty good shape. However, I could not believe the difference my skin felt after just one treatment! That was more than a year ago. I have been going to Skin Deep Aesthetics on a regular basis for facial treatments and using their skin care products every day. My skin is in the best condition it has ever been, it no longer feels dry-even the wrinkles aren't as noticable! Recently, when getting my hair cut, my hairdresser who had no idea I was even getting facial treatments, commented on how great my skin looked. I knew my skin "felt" good, but now I was convinced my skin "looked" good.-Thanks Deanna!

My Skin is doing very well, thank you. I was just noticing again today how much better it was looking.

Thanks for the makeup tips last week. I LOVE the brushes, eye colour and concealer that I purchased.
-Jennifer

Deanna always does a wonderful job. I appreciate the fact that during the facial she brought a small mole on my nose to my attention so I seek medical attention.

Hi Deanna,

No problems with my skin since my facial, I did notice a few blemishes this morning though (but I'm sure that's just normal not a result of the facial). Like you said, my skin looks nice and bright...I'm loving it!!

Thanks for asking,
-Nicole

I recently had my make-up done and the make-up artist told me I had really long lashes! No one has ever told me that before. I have been following Deanna's product and skin care advice at Skin Deep for years and have been very happy with the results, so when she told me about the Revitalash, I just knew I had to try it. I am thrilled with my now long lashes.

I've been using the Janson Beckett skin care line for about seven months and I'm really pleased with the results. I was a little skeptical at first but not now. I've noticed a huge difference in my skin - it's smoother and clearer than it has been in years. I think my skin actually glows now and it's very soft. I've stopped considering any other anti-aging products out there. I've found what I was looking for.

I'm very happy with these products.

Sitting at dinner with some acquaintances, and someone takes notice of the beautiful complexion of the young waitress, “Wow, she has such beautiful smooth, clear skin…like yours.” Like mine?? I certainly had never thought of myself as having the type of skin that stood out or certainly a great complexion. Years of neglect ~ sun tanning, heavy make-up from the 80’s, inconsistent skin care regimes ~ did take a toll on my skin. However, when I was approaching 40, I decided I would embrace aging gracefully by paying attention to the most visible organ – my skin!

I began with regular facials and peels from Deanna at Skin Deep, and a consistent skin care routine at home using great products. The individualized attention and service I received from Deanna was paying off beyond what I thought was possible and reaping noticeable results! I no longer felt I had to wear foundation on most days, and when I did, I glowed... just a bit of eye makeup and out the door.

Deanna’s knowledge and expertise on state of the art skin care, services and techniques, her attention to detail as well as her commitment to quality and environmental products is second to none…I know I’m getting the best service Halifax has to offer, with a personal touch! And of course, to top it all off, and to frame my “new” face, are the best eyebrows ever.

Thank you Deanna!
-Natali D.


My skin feels great! much better than it felt just a few days ago... thanks! And I love my eyebrows. They've never looked so good!

Thanks!

Thanks to Deanna at Skin Deep Esthetics and the use of her skin care my skin feel 10 years younger. My Husband would testify to that. He tells me over and over again how soft my face is and also that I look younger for my age.

The texture of my skin feels much better. Lines around my eyes especially, are more refined. I feel so much better about myself and my skin. I have always been very self conscious about my skin and now I don't dwell on it as much as I use to. Thanks again to Deanna who I am truly grateful for every day. I owe her many times over for suggesting such great products and treatments for my face.

Sincerely,
F. Smith


I just had to take a minute to say thank you! Well I asked you for help to deal with my complexion and did you come through for me. After only three facial treatments and using the recommended skin care products, the difference in my fine lines, acne, blackheads, dryness, and clogged pores has resulted in a younger and smoother complexion that I haven't experienced in years. I can even feel it and as you know I've been recovering from a long term illness, however, suddenly my friends and colleagues find "I'm looking so much better" just in the last few months. I have been feeling a lot better on the inside; it just wasn't being reflected on the outside and required some assistance to correct the damage done from the illness and medications.

I've been a customer for a long time and have developed a friendship over the years that provides for an additional element of trust and respect for your knowledge of the service and products you provide to your customers. So when you suggested the treatments and although I was still struggling to get back on my feet financially from being unable to work for 10 months, I knew it was what I needed and deserved, and I wouldn't be disappointed. I've reached an age (40) where after working for a long time and raising two kids, I need some pampering and it is something I look forward to each appointment as well as just using the product itself at home. I feel so refreshed and good.

Thanks you so much for taking on this new process and treatment system. My face is forever grateful and looks forward to the next one to see how much more improvement I and others will see. I think I would have been a really good before and after shot. Turning 40 has been great!

Your ever grateful customer,

Gena Leger


I began using the Janson Beckett line of skin care a few months ago. I have been amazed this winter at how well my skin is still looking, especially after the sub-zero weather we have been having. For the first time in a long time I haven’t aged 20 years over the winter!

European Facials

Clinical Facials
Skin Deep uses DERMed, an advanced clinical skin care system tailored to give superior results to individual skin types while targeting acne, hyper pigmentation, premature aging and sensitive skin. Although most clients notice visible results after one treatment; a series of six or more treatments and home care are recommended for optimal results.

Advanced Skin Care TherapyThe Institut' DERMed line of clinical skin care products are "cosmeceuticals" that contain the highest concentration of active ingredients available without a prescription.

Cosmeceuticals products
Until recently it was believed that the skin was an impenetrable barrier. Today we know that products ingredients can penetrate the skin depending on their molecular size and chemical components. By definition, a cosmetic product remains on the surface of the skin but does not reach the skin's dermis and is not absorbed by the blood capillaries. Cosmetic products are formulated for beautification of the skin and make no drug claims. Products that penetrate the dermal layer are classified as pharmaceuticals and are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Advances in science and technology have given us a new classification of cosmetic ingredients called "cosmeceuticals". This classification combines cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients, bridging the gap between traditional cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Cosmeceuticals are formulated with specific characteristics that penetrate and remain in the epidermis to perform definite functions, such as: managing the way melanin is diffused in the skin cell, facilitating water retention and neutralizing free radical reactions which reduce the affects of aging, suppressing bacteria which causes acne, and calming inflammatory responses in sensitive skin.

Institut' DERMed products are cosmeceuticals formulated using chiral technology. Chiral is an advanced process that isolates the left and right sides of the molecules to correct the way they fit into the skin's receptors. All cell receptors in the body are either left or right handed; therefore, substances that do not match the cell's receptors do not penetrate. Chirally corrected molecules are processed to fit the skin cell's receptors increasing product penetration. Institut' DERMed's products are effective because they are formulated with potent concentrations of cosmeceuticals, use natural carriers with no chemical additives or perfumes, and are developed using chiral technological advances.

How do advanced facial treatments work?
Enzyme peels work to breakdown keratin in the dead cells on the surface of the skin. They generally produce a more even peeling of the cell build up and help to slightly dilate the follicle openings which make extraction much easier. Light chemical peels which include glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid work by dissolving the lips in the pore opening which bond to the cells on the surface of the skin like cement. Light chemical peels only exfoliate the outer most layer of the epidermis. This causes a sloughing action in the superficial layers of the skin resulting in the regeneration of new cells. These cells are healthier because they have not been exposed to the environmental elements. Thus over time the skin becomes smoother, more youthful and radiant. Continued treatments of light chemical peels will soften lines and wrinkles and allow treatment products to penetrate into the base of the epidermis as well as stimulate the dermis to help such conditions as; premature aging, hyper pigmentation, acne, surface scarring and sensitive skin.

Microdermabrasion is a form of gentle exfoliation of the skin using mineral crystals. This process reveals the newer, healthier, younger skin underneath. Microdermabrasion can be added as a “boost” to most facial treatments or can be performed as a single service.

DermaPod LED Satellites
The LED satellites of the Derma Pod system are the latest in skin care treatment technology. By using different spectrum's of light, treatments are more specific for hyper pigmentation (brown spots), acne, sagging skin, and aging skin. The advantage of LED technology is that unlike lasers, the lights do not get hot and therefore will not damage the skin, but still produce effective results. The use of microdermabrasion or a chemical peel before light therapy allows the light to penetrate better for optimal results.

A series of six to twelve treatments is recommended for problem skin, but you will notice smoother more youthful looking skin after one session.

Oxygenating Trio Facial

This antioxidant therapy corrects and prevents free radical damage, as oxidative and environmental stress of skin is one of the more significant contributors to the aging process. This treatment helps stimulate oxygenation and circulation within the skin , rejuvenating sluggish, stressed skin as it draws oxygen to the skin's surface, resutling in a radiant healthy look.
Who should have advanced facial treatments?
Anyone wanting to:

• Manage aging skin - lift, firm, and smooth
• Purify acne and lighten scars
• Treat hyper pigmentation (brown spots)
• Calm and balance sensitive skin
• Revive dull lifeless skin

Is it true that after having advanced facial treatments I will not be able to sun bathe?
Because advanced treatments thin the top outer-most layer of the skin, this makes the skin more vulnerable to sun damage. It is strongly recommended for successful results that you avoid sun exposure as much as possible and protect the skin with a sun screen of at least spf 15. Jane Iredale mineral make-up has a minimum spf 17 and is actually good for your skin. These minerals are available for purchase at Skin Deep Aesthetics by Deanna.

Will I have to use skin care products at home?
To achieve the maximum results for pure, healthy, youthful skin, home care is imperative. It would be no different than going to the dentist and never brushing or flossing your teeth at home. The results will speak for themselves.
