At Aspire, we’re passionate about helping clients maintain healthy skin and a youthful glow through highly effective, customized clinical skin care and laser treatments.

Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs, with the highest level of care and service.

In May 2010, Aspire was honored to receive the Best Overall Contributor Award at the Distress Centre Fundraiser.

Caregiver Day at Aspire

Since the fall of 2014, Aspire has proudly offered Caregiver Day—a special time dedicated to volunteers, caregivers, and individuals diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

We provide complimentary Hadado Facial Massage as a small way to give back, offering a moment of relaxation, peace of mind, and comfort to those who selflessly care for others or are facing difficult health journeys.

Sandra Desmarais-Ford

Proprietor, Certified Laser Technician & Skin Care Therapist
Sandra began her journey in skin care in 2003, receiving her certification through Clarion Medical Technologies (formerly Coherent-AMT) & Physician’s Choice Advanced Skin Care Systems.  With over two decades of experience, she brings a deep understanding of clinical skin health and a passion for helping others feel confident in their skin.
As a certified Skin Care Therapist, Sandra has specialized training in medical micro-needling, photo rejuvenation, chemical peels, and customized facials, including Hadado and connective tissue facial massage. Her approach is both results-driven and compassionate, ensuring each treatment is tailored to the unique needs of her clients.
Earlier in her career, Sandra worked as a ophthalmic technician, assisting in refractive, cataract, and implant surgeries at TLC, The Laser Center—an experience that sharpened her attention to detail and deepened her appreciation for advanced medical aesthetics.
Sandra believes that skin care is more than just a treatment—it’s a way to restore confidence, self-care, and a sense of well-being.

In June 2015, Sandra expanded her expertise by earning her certification in Oncology Esthetics through Oncology Training International™ (OTI)—the world leader in accredited programs designed to safely support individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatments. This training allows Sandra to offer gentle, therapeutic skin care services with sensitivity, understanding, and care for those facing health challenges.
