Laser Tattoo Removal Toronto-Why Do Some Areas Scar?

by

Tattoo Removal in Toronto

When a patient is receiving Laser Tattoo Removal, there is a possibility of scarring. A number of reasons can contribute to why a patient may develop a scar.
One reason can be that a patient had previous scarring from when they initially received their tattoo. Often patients, who have had their tattoos removed, noticed scars that were due to problems or complications that happened during the actual tattooing process. Laser Tattoo Removal can remove tattoo ink but it cannot remove previous scar tissue, because of this previous scars may be noticeable.
Another factor that can influence whether a patient will scar or not, is how well a patient follows their Laser Tattoo Removal aftercare.
After a Laser Tattoo Removal treatment, the treated skin may blister, itch, become red or scab. This is all completely normal. The body does need to heal naturally. Improper care can lead to infection in the treated area.
If a patient picks or scratches the treated area, this can cause the scabs to be removed prematurely, which in turn will force the body to form new scabs most likely leaving scars behind.
By keeping the treated area clean, dry and out of the sun throughout the Laser Tattoo Removal process this will avoid any burns and scars forming. If a patient must be outdoors then it is vital they apply sunblock with zinc religiously.
A final factor that can cause scarring is aggressive Laser Tattoo Removal treatments from inexperienced technicians. An experienced technician will ensure that proper Laser Tattoo Removal settings are adhered to and ample time is left between sessions so that the body can heal properly. This will minimize the potential for any scarring.
It is important to note that removing a Tattoo does take time and patience is also needed.
Although there is a small chance of scarring a patient can be proactive, working alongside their technician by following proper after care to safeguard against potential scarring.

Botox & Fillers Toronto-How To Choose Your Practitioner Wisely

by

Botox Fillers Toronto

The high demand and popularity of Botox and Dermal Fillers has attracted many to offer these services.

Although there are many options to choose from, not all practitioners provide the same quality of service. A patient will need to choose carefully in order to get the best practitioner for professional results.

The first step is to do your research. This is crucial for anyone looking for a Botox or Dermal Filler practitioner. Many patients, who are too hasty on their choice of clinic or administrator, have dealt with ptosis from Botox, have been injected with too much Dermal Filler or are generally unhappy with their treatment. These patients have had to spend more money having corrective treatments done or have had to live with results they were unhappy with.

Many clinics unfortunately are actually beauty salons that offer discounted Botox and Dermal Filler. These beauty salons do not have the expertise or the proper education to be providing such treatments as Botox or Dermal Filler injections.

Another way to ensure excellent Botox and Dermal Fillers results is to only consider qualified and trained practitioners.

For a practitioner to inject Botox safely and legally, they will need to be fully trained and hold the appropriate certifications.

Some injectors travel from salon to salon, however if there is a complication with the treatment, a patient is at a loss, since they are unable to locate them or have any recourse.

Feeling comfortable with your practitioner makes a world of a difference and the Botox and Filler results will speak for themselves.

Laser Tattoo Removal Toronto-Where Does The Ink Go?

by

Laser Tattoo Removal Toronto

Laser Tattoo Removal is the best non-surgical treatment for removing unwanted tattoos.

Although many people may think lasers simply fade tattoo ink, Laser Tattoo Removal works a little more intricately by using a laser that breaks up ink particles deposited in the skin.

After a Tattoo Removal treatment the minerals in tattoo ink will react to the laser and be disposed of through the lymphatic system. The ink breaks down and is metabolized through the sweat glands, kidneys, or liver and immune system.

The number of treatments required for removing a tattoo can vary. The Tattoo Removal process is performed through a series of laser treatments (which can take up to four to 10 sessions.) Some tattoos can take up to two years to be fully removed.

Treatments are done every 6-8 weeks to allow proper healing of the skin between treatments.
Professional tattoos are deposited more deeply into the dermis of the skin making it more challenging to remove. Amateur tattoos tend to be less deep and therefore easier to remove.
Reactions to tattoo removal can be minor bleeding, swelling and blisters. This in time will resolve, if after care is followed properly.

IPL Toronto-What’s the Cost?

by

IPL Toronto

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is able to address various signs of aging and skin damage.
IPL is able to remove brown spots, rosacea, and cherry angiomas. It also smooths fine lines, brightens skin tone, and fades hyperpigmentation.

Various clinics will offer IPL starting from $100 and increasing up to $500 per treatment.

The cost of an IPL treatment can vary depending on a few variables.

The first factor is the type of skin condition a patient wants to be treated for with IPL. Patients looking to address a few red veins on their face will be charged considerably less than a patient who wishes to treat rosacea or a full face with sun damage. The treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, hands, stomach and back.

IPL, also known as photorejuvenation or photo facial, is more costly than chemical peels but is less expensive than most laser skin procedures. IPL also requires much less down time.

The number of IPL sessions required can range between 2-5 treatments depending on the severity of the skin concern.
