Botox Toronto- How To Get a Brow Lift

November 29, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Get a Brow Lift Without Surgery
Are you looking in the mirror and noticing that your eyelids seem to be drooping or that your brows just aren’t as high as they used to be?

This is a common change that we tend to notice as we age. Genetics can play a part as well. The brow area seems to be one of the first areas on our face to show our age.

The usual go-to for correction of fallen brows has always been a surgical brow lift, however not everyone is quite ready for surgery, and some people just cant afford the downtime or cost for that matter.

Lasting Looks Anti-Aging and Laser Clinic offers non-surgical solutions to help raise your brows.

Some of the non- surgical ways to lift your brows are by using Botox Cosmetic, Ultherapy, Filler or a combination of all three.

When Botox Cosmetic is administered correctly to the forehead area, one can achieve a definite brow lift with a smooth transition of the arch. This in turn will aid in lifting the eyelid, giving you more lid space as well as a more open and youthful looking eye.

As well as Botox in the brow, we can also place a filler such as Juvederm or Teosyal in the temple area. By doing this it can lengthen the tail of the brow which in turn causes a lifting of the eyelid and brow as well.

The last but not least method of lifting the brow non-surgically is with a procedure known as Ultherapy. If you choose to lift the brow with Ultherapy, your results will last longer than it would with Botox. Ultherapy works at tightening the muscle in the temple area as well as above the brow using Ultrasound energy. The procedure and the results are very natural and can last for years.

All treatments at Lasting Looks Clinic can be used in conjunction with one another or individually to give pleasing results.

November 22, 2015 by Lastinglooks

If you have noticed that your skin is looking tired, dull, drawn, or that your skin is showing sun damage and cross-linked wrinkling, then Teosyal® Redensity [I] is perfect for you!

In time and with age, skin dulls, lines form, skin texture and tone becomes uneven, forming dark areas. Wrinkles begin to show up out of nowhere.

Once your injector applies Teosyal® Redensity [I] micro injections to the desired area, your skin will regain the ability to reflect light and you will begin to notice a more even skin tone, hydration and luminosity to the treated area. The skin will almost immediately feel hydrated.

Who is best suited to use Teosyal® Redensity [I]?
This break through light filling treatment is suitable for any age and gender.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For best results, 3 appointments spaced 3 weeks apart are recommended to see optimum results. To maintain the results of your initial 3 sessions, it is recommended to have an additional single session sometime within the following year.

Some results are visible after the 1st Light filling session, but the cumulative results are 1 month after the 3rd Light Filling Session is completed.

Tattoo Removal Toronto- Do Creams Work?

November 15, 2015 by Lastinglooks

With all the products on the market claiming to completely remove tattoos, we frequently are asked which one works.

Lasting Looks Anti Aging and Laser Clinic has been successfully removing tattoos for over 15 years, and we can honestly tell you that topical creams and gels will NOT remove a tattoo.

The reason for this is that; the ink in your tattoo has been placed under the skin with the tattoo needle, not on the surface.

Any cream or gel that claims to remove a tattoo will only fade your skins surface, with an acid such as Glycolic. Some creams contain Hydroquinone, which is a skin-lightening agent. Hydroquinone targets the melanin in the skin and is made to fade or lighten darker skin spots.

We have often seen patients with extreme sensitivity, redness and swelling of the area where the creams have been used. This may also lead to additional scarring. These products will also make the area more sun sensitive leading to quicker sunburns.

At Lasting Looks Anti Aging and Laser Clinic we believe in doing what works. The answer is either Laser Tattoo Removal, non-laser tattoo removal or surgical excision of the tattoo. Tattoo removal takes time, as the skin needs to heal in between sessions. So if you have a target date in mind such as a wedding or vacation, give yourself as much time as possible between starting your treatment and the event date so that the tattoo will be gone and properly healed. Since no two tattoos are alike, they will all react differently to treatments and the amount of time needed.

Ultherapy Toronto, What To Expect

November 8, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Lasting Looks Anti Aging and Laser Clinic was one of the first providers of Ultherapy in the Toronto.

Ultherapy is such a unique and gratifying treatment, not only because you begin to see immediate lifting after treatment, but because during the next 2-3 months the improvements will continue.

Immediately after your Ultherapy treatment, you may experience some mild swelling in the treated area. This will resolve within the first week.

For the next 30 days your skin will feel tighter, lifted and toned, with a smoother texture, and pores will be minimized. There will also be a slight plumping of fine lines as well.

By the next 2 months you will see even more lifting, better skin tone and a more youthful contour of the shape of your face.

Your brows will be higher, giving your eyes a much more open look with less eyelid hooding.

At this point you will also see less sagging at the jaw line and chin area.

Skin lifting continues over the next 2-3 months as collagen rebuilds, as well as the underlying muscle continues to heal and tighten.

Patients have seen even further improvements up to 6 months after their treatment.

Teosyal Toronto-Redensity 1 Treatments to Redensify The Skin

November 1, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Ever notice that as our skin ages , not only do we get fine lines, dryness and wrinkles, but our skin tends to look dull, lifeless and uneven. The skin may also start to look thinner and show dark shadows where there were none before.

Now Here’s the good news!!!”

With Teosyal Redensity 1 treatments, you can kiss that old thin skin goodbye!

Teosyal Redensity 1 feeds, hydrates and thickens the skin.

This treatment combines three natural antioxidants, eight amino acids, vitamin B6, and hyaluronic acid (a natural hydrating agent) – all naturally occurring ingredients in the skin. In combination, they work to combat the signs of aging, while redensifying the dermal layer (or deeper layer of the skin) where collagen and elastin are produced.

Teosyal Redensity 1 is NOT filler, but the technique is similar to a European procedure known as mesotherapy.

Mesotheraphy is a non-invasive light filling technique, which is administered through a very fine needle placed superficially under the skin.

It is uncross-linked hyaluronic acid as well.

Even after one day, the results are overwhelming!

There is an overall luminosity and softness to the appearance and texture of the skin as well as a lessening of fine lines and crepey skin.

Treatments are done in a series of 3 treatments, three weeks apart.

Our patients who have had this treatment, are excited and eagerly await their second and third session because they are so impressed from the changes in their skin from only their first treatment.

Teosyal Redensity 1 can be used for the face, neck, décolletage and hands as well.
