For the next decade, I endured two surgeries a year. During that time, I worked as a medical aesthetician and a sales representative for an American laser company. I juggled surgeries and my career, often going from the hospital straight to work. Slipping on heels, smiling through the pain, I did what I had to do. 

 It was during one of those quiet, sleepless nights, reflecting on everything I’d been through, that the idea came to me: What if I created something that truly made a difference, not just for me, but for my clients? 

 Having cystic adult acne, years of aggressive treatments and stress had compromised my skin. I knew firsthand how hard it was to find clean, effective skincare that actually worked, especially for post-treatment skin. My clients would constantly ask what I used on my own skin, and for years, I kept it to myself. Because the truth was: I was formulating something of my own.

 Eventually, I left my sales position and opened my first med spa. People would often say I had a healing touch, and I wanted to change how people viewed skincare. When COVID-19 hit, I took the forced pause as an opportunity to reflect, research, and perfect my dream. 

That dream became skin212 DERMÉA, Formulated by me and inspired by my Greek heritage, DERMÉA comes from the Greek word for “skin goddess.” Every product in the skin212 DERMÉA collection was carefully developed to be clean, non-toxic, anti-aging, and Canadian-made, powered by science and driven by passion.

From treating acne and rosacea to pigmentation and aging skin, I created this line to meet real needs. No fluff. No overcomplicated routines. Just powerful, medical-grade formulas designed to deliver results in under three minutes, morning and night. You’re not just using skincare, you’re investing in something born from resilience, healing, and love.
