Acne Toronto- Adult Acne

by

Acne Toronto- Adult Acne

Three out of five adults experience adult acne.
There is nothing more frustrating than reaching adulthood and suddenly having to deal with acne breakouts.
What is adult acne?
Adult acne is similar to regular teenage acne in that hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. Women may experience breakouts during their menstrual cycle.
There are many factors that can cause adult acne such as: hormones, diet, skin care products, stress, and medications. All or just one may trigger adult acne.
Is there any solution to adult acne?
Top priority is a proper skin care regime. This includes chemical peels to combat existing active adult acne and future breakouts.
Chemical peels that contain salicylic acid, glycolic or alpha-hydroxy acid can unclog hair follicles and remove trapped dead cells from skin and target adult acne. Chemical peels can be done every 3-6 weeks depending on the strength of the peel. Chemical peels help to exfoliate and trigger new skin growth resulting in improved skin texture.
Skin care products that prolong the results of a chemical peel are essential at keeping adult acne at bay. Gentle exfoliators such as Lasting Looks Clinic “Daily Clarifying Lotion” are gentle enough to not agitate the skin but are effective in removing the outer layers of dead skin cells.

Injectable Nose Job Toronto – The After Care

by

Injectable Nose Job Toronto

An Injectable nose job can correct, alter and shape a patient’s nose without surgery!
Juvederm, Restylane or Teosyal can be used to perform an injectable nose job treatment that can temporarily correct a nasal hump, lift the tip of the nose, or create a strong bridge. An Injectable nose job using dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
There are many do’s and don’ts following an injectable nose job. Delicate care is crucial when caring for the treated area, as the dermal filler is malleable. Any pressure from eyeglasses or lying down on your face can leave indentations on the nose.
Patients are to avoid touching or manipulating the treated area 6 hours post treatment. Afterwards the area can be gently washed and you can apply light makeup if needed.
Following an injectable rhinoplasty treatment, many patients experience mild swelling and tenderness that can last for up to two weeks.
Blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications can result in increased risk of bruising, because of this be sure to avoid taking them 2 days prior and 2 days after treatment. One must also avoid exposing the area to intense heat such as sunbathing, saunas and hot yoga, as these activities will increase swelling and redness.

Botox Toronto-What is Baby Botox?

by

Botox Toronto

Botox injections are used for relaxing frown lines in the forehead, providing a brow lift or relaxing wrinkles around the eyes.
A new trend for Botox patients is “Baby Botox” which is essentially a normal Botox treatment but fewer units are injected.
Baby Botox, is the new “au naturel” look for minimizing wrinkles while still allowing facial movement.
Baby Botox has become more popular among first-time patients who desire to see what Botox can do while still having some movement.
Baby Botox relaxes the same muscles as a regular Botox treatment but uses a precise technique and injection point with fewer units.
Younger patients that do not have deep wrinkles are ideal candidates for Baby Botox and can use this treatment to help prevent or delay wrinkles in future.
Because Baby Botox treatments use a lower dosage of Botox, it will wear off quicker and require patients to repeat the treatment every 6 -8 weeks, whereas regular dosages of Botox will wear off in 3-4 months.
Sometimes less can be more; learn more about Baby Botox by booking a consultation!

Skin Tightening Toronto – And Loose Skin

by

Skin Tightening Toronto

Wedding season is around the corner and men and women are looking for ways to improve their appearance with Skin Tightening before their big day.

Ultherapy is the number one Skin Tightening choice for brides to be.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical FDA approved procedure for Skin Tightening that will lift and tighten the face, neck, under chin, as well as the eyebrows.

Ultherapy uses the power of ultrasound technology to stimulate the deep layers of muscle and tissue that are typically addressed in a surgical facelift.

Patients who want Skin Tightening choose Ultherapy, since Ultherapy targets the muscle and loose skin and creates new collagen over time.

Loose skin develops as we age, lose weight or can  simply  be from genetics. An Ultherapy skin tightening treatment can reverse those signs of aging and gravity.

An Ultherapy Skin Tightening procedure can be done during a lunch break with little to no downtime.
Some results can be seen immediately, while full results can take up to two to three months for the muscle tissue.

No one will know you had anything done before your wedding, so treat your loose skin to Skin Tightening Ultherapy today at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto

Microblading Toronto – Will It Affect Hair Growth?

by

Microblading Toronto

Microblading has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic techniques in the beauty business. Those who have little to no eyebrows, alopecia or those that just want to wake up every morning with beautiful fuller eyebrows are turning to the impressive results of Microblading.

One common misconception regarding Microblading is that it can cause hair loss. Rest assured there is no evidence that shows that Microblading causes hair loss.

Microblading is a form of manual cosmetic tattooing, in which brows are etched in tiny strokes that mimic natural hair using tiny needles. The strokes are then filled with medical grade pigment which creates the illusion of fullness.

Microblading uses tiny needles to draw these tiny hair-like strokes into the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin). Microblading, when performed by a professional will not affect the hair growth of the eyebrows in any way. Hair will continue to grow following Microblading and a patient will be left with satisfying beautiful results that can last up to 2 years.

Another way patients can ensure these results is by following proper aftercare. Following the Microblading treatment, patients should avoid using Vitamin C, exfoliators or Retinol products as they can remove pigment and cause the eyebrows to turn a different shade.
