Ever wonder what an aesthetician actually does to get glowing skin? For Toronto Sovereign Skin's Thalia, it starts with a three-step treatment — and continues with
the products she reaches for at home.
In celebration of National Aesthetician Day on Oct. 15, the Yorkville aesthetician is sharing her go-to approach to smoother, hydrated, glass-like skin.
From a serum-infused facial to the PDRN ingredient you've probably seen all over your feed, here's what goes into her glow.
Thalia's routine begins with a Silk Facial, which combines microdermabrasion to gently remove dead skin cells with serum infusions to hydrate the skin.
This step helps lift away the dullness and rough texture that can leave your complexion
looking tired, while replenishing moisture for a fresh, smoother-looking finish.
Consider it the prep step that sets the rest of the treatment in motion.
The second step goes beyond surface-level glow.
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries that encourage the skin's natural
repair response and collagen production. Over time, this can help improve the
appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Radiofrequency adds controlled heat at targeted depths to support deeper collagen
remodelling, helping improve firmness and soften the appearance of enlarged pores.
The goal? A smoother-looking complexion that keeps improving as collagen-related
changes develop. The clinic's treatment team tailors the approach to each patient's skin and recovery needs.
If "salmon sperm skincare" has landed on your feed, you've likely heard about PDRN.
For the final step, Thalia incorporates Skin Nutri Purasomes containing PDRN,
applied topically with the aim of supporting hydration and post-treatment skin care.
It brings one of beauty's most talked-about ingredients into a personalized protocol
focused on smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
The appointment is only part of Thalia's routine. To protect her investment, she pays just as much attention to her skincare between visits.
Her favourites include the SkinCeuticals Glass Skin Set, which focuses on texture,
visible lines and radiance, and Epicutis Lipid Recovery Masks for a hydrating,
soothing addition to her routine.
Immediately after microneedling, she follows the clinic's recovery guidance. Exfoliating and other active products may need to wait until skin is ready, while gentle aftercare and daily sun protection remain essential.
For anyone overwhelmed by the latest skincare trends, that's where an aesthetician's
guidance comes in: helping you choose treatments and products that make sense for
your skin.
