What to expect
Size, location, appearance and characteristics are evaluated.
The skin is cleansed; topical anesthetic applied when appropriate.
Targeted radiofrequency energy is applied to each concern individually.
Ice is applied as needed to soothe treated areas.
Clear instructions to support healing at home.
Every session begins with a thorough consultation. No two concerns are alike: results and the number of sessions depend on the size, depth, number and type of each spot, its location, your skin type and how you heal. Many concerns resolve in a single session; others need a follow-up. Liza will tell you honestly what to expect before anything is treated, and will not treat a spot she is unsure about without written confirmation from your physician.
Not all thermocoagulation is equal
Thermocoagulation looks simple. It isn't. Results depend on the device, the training and the judgment of the person holding the probe. Before you book anywhere, know what to ask — here is how Cantik answers.
Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G®, a Health Canada-licensed thermocoagulation device. Ask any provider which device they use and whether it is licensed.
Licensed esthetician since 2000. Thermocoagulation certified since 2011 — more than a decade of precision correction, not a recent add-on.
Book with Liza and she assesses, plans and performs your treatment herself. No hand-offs: the person you consult is the person who treats you.
Every concern is evaluated for size, shape, location and complexity before anything is treated. If treatment isn't appropriate, you'll be told so.
Moles, cysts and suspicious lesions are never treated. They are referred to a physician or dermatologist.
One clear, time-based session: 60 minutes, $210, several concerns treated. No per-spot surprises.
Some concerns need a medical opinion
Moles, cysts and suspicious lesions are outside the scope of cosmetic esthetics. If something needs a physician or dermatologist, Liza will tell you — that is the Cantik Standard. Where there is any uncertainty, Liza will not treat without written confirmation from your physician that the lesion is benign and suitable.
What “licensed” means, and what esthetics does not include
Licensed under the Cosmetologists Act
Liza James earned her esthetics college diploma and licence in 2000, when esthetics in British Columbia was regulated under the provincial Cosmetologists Act. Her diploma has been verified by BBB. The Act was repealed on December 31, 2003. Since then, no licence or certification has been required to work as an esthetician in BC, and titles such as “medical esthetician” or “medical aesthetician” are neither regulated nor protected. Liza has also been certified in thermocoagulation since 2011. In BC, the province regulates the premises rather than the practitioner, and the Cantik studio is inspected every year by Fraser Health public health inspectors. Cantik is also a BBB Accredited Business; BBB reviewed Liza’s credentials and interviewed her by phone before granting accreditation.
Moles and cysts are outside esthetic practice
Estheticians in BC, including those who describe themselves as medical estheticians or medical aestheticians, are not regulated health professionals. They do not diagnose skin conditions, and the removal of moles and cysts is outside their scope of practice. Under the regulations of BC’s Health Professions Act, making a diagnosis and performing procedures on tissue below the dermis are restricted activities reserved for regulated health professionals such as physicians. Moles, cysts and any suspicious or changing lesion are referred to a physician or dermatologist.
Not all devices are created equal
Thermocoagulation devices vary widely in precision, control and safety. Liza uses the Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G®, a Health Canada-licensed medical device. You have the right to ask any provider which device will be used on your skin and whether it holds a Health Canada licence. Licensed devices can be looked up in Health Canada’s Medical Devices Active Licence Listing (MDALL).
Questions to ask any provider
- Are you licensed or certified, by whom, and since when?
- Who will perform my treatment, and what thermocoagulation training do they hold?
- Is the device licensed by Health Canada?
- Will every spot be assessed first, and will you refer anything outside your scope?
- What infection-control and single-use protocols do you follow?
- What aftercare and follow-up are included?

Precision skin correction FAQ
What is thermocoagulation?
A controlled cosmetic technique that uses targeted radiofrequency energy to treat appropriate superficial skin irregularities without cutting.
Does it hurt?
Comfort varies with size, location and characteristics. A 5% lidocaine topical anesthetic and ice help keep you comfortable.
How long does healing take?
Most visible surface healing happens progressively over several days to a few weeks, depending on the area and your skin.
How much can be treated in one session?
Appointments are time-based. How much is treated depends on size, location, complexity and comfort; some concerns need a second session 4–6 weeks later.
Will it leave a mark?
With correct technique and aftercare, the risk is minimized. Picking the scab is the most common cause of lasting marks.
Can you remove moles?
No. Moles, cysts and suspicious lesions are outside the scope of any esthetician, including medical estheticians, and need assessment by a physician or dermatologist.
What does it mean to be a licensed esthetician in BC?
Esthetics in British Columbia was regulated under the Cosmetologists Act until the Act was repealed on December 31, 2003. Today no licence is required to work as an esthetician, and the titles medical esthetician and medical aesthetician are not regulated. Liza James earned her esthetics college diploma and licence in 2000, under the former provincial standard (diploma verified by BBB), and has been certified in thermocoagulation since 2011. Estheticians, including medical estheticians or aestheticians, do not diagnose skin conditions or remove moles or cysts; those are referred to a physician or dermatologist. Scope of practice in BC
Is the Cantik studio inspected?
Yes. In British Columbia the province regulates the premises rather than the esthetician, and the Cantik studio in South Surrey is inspected every year by Fraser Health public health inspectors.
Is Cantik Esthetics BBB accredited?
Yes. Cantik Esthetics Skin Care is a BBB Accredited Business. BBB reviewed Liza James's credentials and interviewed her by phone before granting accreditation.
Is the thermocoagulation device Health Canada licensed?
Yes. Liza uses the Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G, a Health Canada-licensed medical device. Clients have the right to ask any provider which device is used and whether it is licensed; licensed devices are listed in Health Canada's Medical Devices Active Licence Listing (MDALL).
How do I choose a thermocoagulation provider?
Ask four things: which device they use and whether it is Health Canada licensed; how long they have been certified in thermocoagulation; whether the same person assesses and treats you; and whether moles and suspicious lesions are referred to a physician. At Cantik: a Health Canada-licensed Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G, certified since 2011, every treatment booked with Liza done by Liza, and moles always referred.
Who will perform my treatment?
When you book with Liza James, Liza assesses your skin and treats you herself, every time — no hand-offs.
Which thermocoagulation device does Cantik use?
