Complete Elixir

The inside-out step your skin has been missing

Complete Elixir is the featured wellness component of The Cantik Elixir Infusion, Liza’s flagship 90-minute ultrasound infusion facial. It is formulated and made in small batches right here in Surrey, B.C., each bottle weighed, mixed, filled and lot-numbered by its founding formulator.

In the studio, ultrasound infusion works serums selected for your skin in more effectively than by hand alone. At home, the Complete Elixir collection carries those results forward between visits, so the glow you leave with keeps building instead of fading.

Treatment Preparation

Before your appointment

Your New Client Intake Form is an important part of your appointment. Completing it beforehand lets your appointment focus on you, your concerns, your goals and your treatment, rather than paperwork.

Complete New Client Intake Form
Please Remember
  • Complete your intake form before arriving.
  • If not completed beforehand, arrive early to allow time to complete it.
  • Intake completed during your scheduled appointment time may reduce treatment time.
  • Let Liza know about relevant changes to your health information, medications or skin-care routine.
  • A professional assessment is required before treatment.
Aftercare

Caring for your skin after treatment

After Precision Skin Correction
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry.
  • Do not pick or remove scabs — this is the most common cause of lasting marks.
  • Healing progresses over several days to a few weeks.
  • Apply SPF once the area has healed.
  • Hale Derma HOCl spray is recommended to support aftercare, especially after larger treatment areas.
After Facials & The Cantik Method
  • No downtime is expected.
  • Mild temporary redness usually settles within a few hours.
  • Follow your personalized home-care skin-care plan.
  • Book your next session 4–6 weeks out to build and maintain results.

Scope of practice in BC →
Licensing in BC

Liza earned her esthetics college diploma and licence in 2000, while BC’s former Cosmetologists Act was in force; BBB has verified her diploma. Since 2003, no licence has been required to practise esthetics in BC, and no esthetics title is regulated. BC regulates the premises instead: Cantik’s studio is inspected every year by Fraser Health.

Scope of practice

Diagnosing skin conditions and removing moles or cysts are outside esthetic practice. These are referred to a physician or dermatologist.

Not all devices are equal

Liza uses the Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G®, a Health Canada-licensed device. You have the right to ask what device will be used on your skin and whether it is licensed by Health Canada.

Questions to ask

Who will perform my treatment? What training do they hold? Is the device licensed by Health Canada? Will you refer anything outside your scope?

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

A professional skin assessment looks at your concerns and goals to recommend the most appropriate option.

Do I need a consultation before booking?

Most treatments can be booked online. If you are unsure, contact Liza by phone, text or email and send photos of your concern beforehand — most questions are answered before you arrive. In-person consultations are available when needed.

What is thermocoagulation?

A controlled cosmetic technique that uses targeted radiofrequency energy on appropriate superficial skin irregularities.

How is it different from laser or freezing?

It delivers targeted heat to the concern itself with minimal impact on the surrounding skin.

Is it suitable for all skin tones?

It targets the concern directly, so it can suit many skin tones. Suitability is confirmed at your assessment.

Can estheticians remove moles in B.C.?

Moles and suspicious lesions are outside the scope of any esthetician in B.C. They need assessment by a physician or dermatologist.

How often should I have a facial?

It depends on your goals and skin; Liza will recommend a rhythm at your appointment.

Do you sell professional skin care?

Cantik sells Complete Elixir professional skin care, available to order online for studio pickup.

Do you offer gift cards?

Gift cards can be purchased online.
