Volite Toronto- What Results Can I Expect and How Long Will They Last

by

Volite Toronto What Results To Expect
Volite has quickly become Juvederm’s most requested skin treatment.

Glowing, hydrated, firmer skin has never been easier with Volite treatments.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in our bodies but levels start to deplete after only age 26. Hyaluronic acid is vital to healthy glowing skin as it can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water. As hyaluronic acid diminishes, our skin starts to appear dryer and crepey.

Volite treatments use Vycross technology and Hyaluronic Acid gel; these combined are designed to improve the skin’s smoothness, hydration, elasticity, and skin tone

A Volite treatment consists of multiple fine needle injections within the dermis tissue and can be used on the face, neck, décolleté and hands. Patients will experience redness immediately after a Volite session. This will dissipate within 30-90 minutes and you will be able to look forward to beautiful skin.

Fine lines will diminish, and overall skin quality and elasticity will improve. Your skin will be revitalized and nourished from the inside out.
Visible results will be seen within a week and overall skin quality will continue to improve. Full optimal results will be seen within the first month.

Your Volite results can last up to 9 months and can be repeated if desired.

Lip Fillers Toronto – Cold Sores

Lip Fillers Toronto Cold Sores
Beautiful lips are always a confidence booster, but a cold sore is anything but.

Have you ever experienced a cold sore after having lip filler injections; there is a connection between the two.

Cold sores are tiny blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus. Cold sores can appear on or around the lips brought on by stress and overindulgence of certain foods or caffeine.
Cold sores may take days to even weeks to heal.

A patient that is prone to cold sores will often have flare-ups after receiving lip fillers.
This is mainly due to the stress caused from multiple injections around the mouth triggering and awakening the virus.

Patients that experience cold sores may have a flare up after having lip fillers. There are precautions that a patient can take in order to minimize the risk of having a cold sore brought on.

Taking an antiviral medication like Zovorax or Valtrex a week before any lip filler treatment can help.

Even if a patient is not experiencing a cold sore before their scheduled lip filler appointment, it is always best to take L-Lysine in higher doses a few days prior. This can be purchased over the counter and taken orally.

Taking the needed precautions will mean a patient can enjoy their new lips without having to worry.

Microneedling Toronto-What Can I Expect?

by

Microneedling Toronto What To Expect
While Microneedling is being hailed as one of the best beauty trends for skin, many are unsure what Microneedling actually does and what they can expect from a Microneedling treatment?

Microneedling is a procedure that causes controlled micro-injuries to the skin, promoting cell turn over, collagen production as well as enhancing skins youthful appearance.

Due to the micro-injuries to the skin from a Microneedling session, the body sends healing agents such as elastin and collagen to the area and repairs it to address any skin damage.

This skin rejuvenation treatment is used to treat and improve skin conditions such as acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, poor skin texture,and large pores.

Microneedling also increases the effectiveness of skin products, since your skin will absorb moisture for up to 3 weeks after a Microneedling treatment.

After a Microneedling treatment, patients will experience redness and tenderness for up to 2 days. Some say it feels like a sunburn, this feeling will dissipate over the next few days.

Microneedling treatments can be repeated once the skin has healed generally every 5-7 weeks for optimal results.

Even after your first Microneedling session, your skin will appear more radiant and you will see improvement to skin conditions.

Chemical Peels Toronto-Facials or Peels, What’s The Difference?

by

With the stress of the pandemic plus many clinics being closed for several months; many are anxious to get back to taking care of their skin. The question is should you get a facial or a chemical peel?

The two are very different. Facials are extremely popular as men and women like to unwind, and stimulate skin cells with massages and lotions. While this treatment may be hydrating and relaxing, it will not address most skin concerns.

Chemical peels are advantageous as they exfoliate and peel away dead skin cells and debris that build up on the skin from pollution and dirt. This allows healthier glowing skin to be revealed.

Because chemical peels do more than a light exfoliation they can address skin issues such as wrinkles, scarring and skin discoloration.

Chemical peels can vary in strength. Light chemical peels can help to remove dead skin cells and give your skin a healthy glow with minimal downtime. This chemical peel treatment can be done every 2-5 weeks for optimal results, and maintenance.

Medium to deep chemical peels remove skin cells on the epidermis and middle layer. This is to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and skin discoloration. These chemical peels can have some initial discomfort to the skin but have extremely profound results. Patients will experience improved skin tone, clarity, skin texture
Deeper chemical peels will require patients up to a week of downtime as your skin sheds and regenerates. Patients will experience skin sensitivity and redness for up to 7 days. This can be done every 3-9 months.

If you are looking to address your skin concerns with a chemical peel visit Lasting Looks Clinic today for a complimentary consultation.
