IPL Toronto- How do we get Brown Spots??

October 29, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Did you know that when you go into the sun your body makes melanin, which is a protective pigment to protect you from the harmful UVA rays?

If you constantly expose your skin to these harmful rays without any protection your body will produce too much melanin leaving brown spots or pigmented lesions behind.

Most sunspots appear on the hands, face, chest and arms, which are the most exposed areas to the sun.
Now melasma is a whole different story. Melasma are brown patches that are usually caused by fluctuations in hormones and increases in estrogens and progesterone. Melasma can be seen more often in pregnant woman. The pigmentation is deeper and less superficial.

Treatments of these brown spots in Toronto can include IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatments Fraxel Laser or lightening Cremes. Cryotherapy is not our first choice as there is less control on the depth and area of the patch not to mention it can leave white marks (hypo-pigmentation) or at times even a darker patch.

Ultherapy Toronto versus Traditional Facelift

October 22, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Many patients may be on the fence about what procedure to have when it comes to sagging facial tissue.

Here are the differences!

Traditional Facelifts are an invasive surgical procedure

Ultherapy is a non- invasive procedure done with ultrasound.

There is a tremendous difference when the scalpel is used on the tissues as well as the pulling.

The ultherapy non-surgical facelift is done with gentle ultrasound waves.

Of course there will be a more dramatic difference with the traditional face-lift where as Ultherapy will have a more subtle completely natural look.

So it really depends on the difference and how dramatic you want your change to be.

It is not uncommon to repeat the procedure 3 months post with Ultherapy if more tightening is required.

Patients that are candidates for this procedure are usually 20 to 65 years of age with mild or moderate laxity.

Anyone with severe laxity might want to consider a traditional face-lift rather than Ultherapy. For more information visit us at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto at https://www.lastinglooks.ca/ultherapy-toronto/

Laser Hair Removal Toronto versus Electrolysis

October 21, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Because lasers work by targeting pigment, Laser Hair Removal is great for removing dark hair on white skin, but not so great for removing other colors of hair — particularly white or light blonde hair.

Although electrolysis is successful, it is much more time-consuming than lasers because it must be done hair by hair.

Truthfully, it’s not that one treatment is better than the other they are just different.

Each has advantages in different situations. If a patient is has predominantly white facial hair, Laser Hair removal is not going to treat white hair well but electrolysis will.

If you do have dark hair and white skin then the choice is Laser Hair Removal because it can cover a larger area quickly and is less time consuming. Visit us at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto for your free Laser Hair Removal Consultation! https://www.lastinglooks.ca/laser-hair-removal-toronto

October 21, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Guess you would be surprised at how many celebrities admit to using Botox, here are just a few:
Courtney Cox:
“Sometimes I use Botox,” the “Cougar Town” actress told Marie Claire in 2010. “Compared to most, I use it very sparingly.” Cox continued: “One time, I did too much though. I feel weird if I can’t move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin. I don’t have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself, and it’s done properly, then fine.”

Simon Cowell
“I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way,” the “X Factor” mentor told the Daily Mail in 2007. “Then again, every guy I know who works in the city has had it now.

Jenny McCarthy
“I go every two months,” she told People in 2008. “My tricks are, I get Botox in my forehead — I just have my doctor do a little … if you overdo, it looks bad.” In 2013, “The View” co-host revealed her stance hadn’t changed, telling In Touch: “I am Team Botox.”

David Hasselhoff
“I have had Botox, everyone has,” David Hasselhoff bluntly admitted to People in 2006. “It’s a shot. It takes out the frown. I haven’t had that in a year. I take pride in that. I look great.”

Cindy Crawford
The supermodel discussed her Botox views with Ladies Home Journal in 2010: “I’ve tried Botox. Plastic surgery is really scary, but as long as you don’t use these things to change your face, I think it’s OK.”

Kelly Ripa
42-year-old talk show hostess Kelly Ripa has proudly admitted to getting Botox in both her eyelids and her armpits.
