The Perfect Peel Toronto With Booster

by

Perfect Peel Toronto

Lasting Looks Clinic introduces the NEW “Perfect Peel with Booster”.

The Perfect Peel Plus Booster contains the same synergistic blend of ingredients as the Perfect Peel, but at a higher concentration. The new medical grade peel is 25% stronger than the original, and provides even more amazing results!

The “Perfect Peel with Booster” will transform your skin into looking younger, healthier and clearer in just one week and is ideal for those that wish to take their peel to the next level.

The Perfect Peel with Booster uses a blend of acids including Retinoic (vitamin A), Salicylic, TCA, and Phenol as well as Vitamin C and Glutathione. All of these ingredients work synergistically so that layers of the epidermis are shed off in a controlled manner, leaving the skin brighter, clearer, and with an improved texture.

The Perfect Peel with Booster peel will help reduce stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and actinic keratosis.

The Perfect Peel and Perfect Peel with Booster is not suitable for very sensitive skinned patients.

Here are just some of the benefits of the peel:

  • Improves the overall tone and texture of your skin
  • Lightens and brightens the skin
  • Removes or reduces sun damage and age spots
  • Reduces pore size and softens fine lines and wrinkles
  • Diminish stubborn hyperpigmentation and acne scars
  • Improve acne conditions, melasma and thick resilient skin
  • Stimulates the production of collagen resulting in firmer skin
  • Slows down the aging process and prevents wrinkles

As with all peels, patients are required to stop using Retin A, benzoyl peroxide and all acid based products 5 days prior to their peel treatments.  Some patients may peel for up to 10 days. Social downtime is required with no exposure to the sun.

Dermal Fillers Toronto & Restoring Beautiful Cheeks

by

Restoring Beautiful Cheeks

Even if you were born with naturally perfect cheekbones, aging and gravity can cause cheek muscles to atrophy contributing to a downward fall throughout the lower part of the face and neck.

With age loss comes bone loss.  The fatty tissue that normally drapes over the cheekbones can begin to flatten and fall with gravity. The result is less prominent cheekbones .  This drop can cause  a droopy fold of skin the nose and the cheek (the nasolabial fold).

It can be disheartening to watch your appearance change over time and you can become quite self-conscious about your facial appearance

If cosmetic surgery is not your choice, then dermal fillers  for cheeks are a fantastic way of framing and defining your face and instantly taking years off your appearance.

Many patients who undergo non-invasive cheekbone enhancement also notice an enhancement of other features as a result, as high cheekbones can highlight all the right places.

There are multiple areas of the cheeks, the cheek bones, midface, submalar, zygomatic arch, buccal, and cheek-troughs. All of these areas can be injected to create a higher more youthful lifted cheekbone area.

Best choices for restoration of cheekbones are Hyaluronic Fillers  such as  Juvederm’s Voluma, Teosyal’s Ultra Deep as well as Restylane Perlane.

Treatments at Lasting Looks Clinic  for the cheek area usually take 15 to 30 minutes and you will see your results immediately. Results will generally last 12 –24 months. For more information on Facial Fillers go to  https://www.lastinglooks.ca/dermal-fillers-toronto/

Belkyra Toronto-Side Effects

by

Belkyra Side Effects Belkyra is a prescription drug used to improve submental fat also known as “double chin”.

So what exactly are the side effects of Belkyra?

Common side effects include: swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and hardness of areas in the treatment zone.  More serious side effects of Belkyra treatments may include problems swallowing and nerve injury in the jaw that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness.

One week prior to BELKYRA™ , it is suggested that one limit their alcohol intake as well as  refrain from using   anti-inflammatory medications.  This is to avoid excessive bruising. Once Belkyra is administered, patients may experience mild to moderate swelling, bruising, numbness or pain in the treated area. After treatment ice packs may be applied to the area for 15 minutes at a time if needed.

Some patients may want to schedule these treatments near the end of the week or on the weekend due to the downtime that is associated with this procedure.

Generally swelling is the most common side effect that patients will experience. This will occur after the injection and can last up to three days or more.  Bruising, some discomfort, itchiness, and redness usually accompanies the swelling.   Numbness or tenderness, or  a mixture of both under the chin, can last up to 2 months.

A majority of patients require between 2-4 treatments with Belkyra. Studies have also shown that side effects are lessened during subsequent treatments.

Laser Tattoo Removal Toronto And Sun Exposure

by

Tattoo removal and sun exposure

When is the best time of year to start the process of tattoo removal?

The optimal time to start the process of tattoo removal  is in the fall.

You might be surprised to hear that sun exposure is an important factor that affects the success of laser tattoo removal. A tattoo should be out of the sunlight for at least 6 weeks prior to any treatment. Fake tan products and self-tanners should also be avoided for at least two weeks before  laser tattoo removal.

If your tattoo is located on a part of your body that will be exposed to the sun on a regular basis, this will greatly affect the results of your tattoo removal. Tanned skin should never be treated by laser tattoo removal.

If your tattoo is located on an area that will not get sun exposure, then it is safe to start your tattoo removal at any time of the year. Adequate protection of the treated area is of the utmost importance.

Once the tattoo removal process has begun, getting sunburnt will be an incredibly painful sensation and could cause permanent scarring. Unnecessary heat from any source, which includes baths, saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzis, are to be avoided. Caution must be taken and the skin must be cared for in the same manner as one would treat a burn.

At Lasting Looks Clinic, proper removal of your unwanted tattoo is our top priority. During your initial consultation we will go over in great detail, the number of sessions required, home care, expectations of removal, tattoo color, depth, chemical composition and proper safety for your tattoo removal.

With time and patience your unwanted tattoo can be removed safely and effectively. For more information on tattoo removal visit https://www.lastinglooks.ca/laser-tattoo-removal
