If you wish to improve any skin condition, our skin care services are a great option for you! Since we offer a variety of products and modalities to make a difference, we’ll find the best-suited methods to achieve your goals! We choose the products, that give us the results effectively with safe ingredients.

Yes, all facial treatments at Vita Felice require a consultation so we can provide service best suited for your skin conditions and your desired goals. Many advanced modalities including microneedling, skin needling, dermaplaning and LED Light Therapy are advanced treatments even though less invasive when compared to a few other advanced treatments in the market. In order to achieve the best results, we require consultation before booking those appointments. This ensures that your skin is prepared to take this service.

Microneedling is an innovative way to treat many skin issues, including: fine lines and wrinkles; stretch marks; large pores; hyper- and hypo-pigmentation; age spots; dark under-eye circles; scars from acne, surgery, burns, tattoos (body, face, scalp), or other traumas.

Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) gently induces controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which triggers the skin’s natural repair process, resulting in production of collagen and elastin.

Vita Felice proudly uses the Eclipse MicroPen because it offers a very safe and effective way to improved skin quality without the use of lasers or heat. This top-tier device is one of the very few products of its kind approved by Health Canada.

We can use the Eclipse MicroPen to treat all parts of your body including scalp, not just your face and neck. We can restore youthful beauty to your décolleté, hands, arms, legs, back, abdomen, and scalp.

We use a sterile single-use applicator attached to the Eclipse MicroPen. After numbing your skin, a technician applies a thin layer of microneedling solution, hyaluronic acid (HA) serum or saline solution to your skin and selects a personalized pen setting to match the specific needs of your skin and condition. The pen glides across your skin in a gentle motion to treat the area of your choosing.

Since we use a numbing agent, you shouldn’t feel pain. However, pain tolerance varies from one individual to another. You may still experience some discomfort; some people describe it as a lightly abrasive feeling like that of sandpaper, while others feel nothing. The layer of HA serum or saline solution helps the Eclipse MicroPen glide smoothly and makes the treatment efficient and less irritating.

Depending on the size of the area you’re having treated, it can take as little as 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes after numbing. Numbing can take up to 30 minutes.

Right after the treatment, your skin will be bright red, but it will go away fairly quickly. The redness usually lasts 1-3 days. Some clients heal completely within 24 hours. Other than redness, you might experience swelling and flakiness before getting smooth and soft skin. You can speed things along by using the skincare products recommended by your technician. We recommend for our clients to go home and relax after the procedure, and avoid sweating for 3 days.

Please avoid make-up for the 24 hours post-procedure. After that, you can wear make-up but we recommend mineral-based products and the use of clean applicators.

Once the redness fades, you’ll see a difference as the skin begins to adopt a glow. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Skin can continue to improve up to 6 months after a series of treatments.

It truly depends on your skin’s condition and treatment needs. Some people will only need one treatment, but for most cases, 3-6 treatments with 4-6 week break in between each, provide the best results. For clients with more significant skin-care concerns, such as burn scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions. We also recommend other services to combine for the best results, such as chemical peel and LED Light Therapy. After the consultation, we will create your custom plans.

Please come to the service without make-up. For body treatment, please wear something loose and clean.

Yes, absolutely! The growth factors and cytokines (proteins) are derived from the bone marrow and cultured in the lab. The AnteAGE products are cell-free, there are no DNAs in them.

Bone marrows are collected from voluntary donors. They are screened and only the very healthy young (age between 18 – 24 years old) are chosen as donors.

Bone Marrow Growth Factors, the language of your cells, effectively coordinates a symphony of communication within your skin that, essentially, instructs them to retrieve healthy skin.
