If you are considering a Chemical Peel for your skin; it is very important to go to a clinic where there is a variety available. It is also very important that the Medical Specialist is experienced with different types of skin and skin conditions.

At Lasting Looks Anti-Aging and Laser Clinic, we have been performing a wide variety of Medical Grade Chemical Peels for over 16 years.

With a wide variety of peels and treatments , we can treat most conditions of the skin.

We provide peels that target acne, hyperpigmentation, sun-damage, wrinkles and scarring. Our peels vary in strength from very gentle peels that require no down time, to more aggressive peels that will shed many layers of skin over a number of days.

When determining a treatment plan, we take into consideration the skin type, lifestyle, as well as the downtime you can afford.

With just one gentle peel, such as a milk enzyme peel or a lactic acid peel, you will be able to see noticeable results. These types of gentle peels will leave your skin brighter, clearer and fresher.

Our deeper peels that treat acne, hyperpigmentation and scarring, may require up to 5 days of social downtime, but will bring greater rewards.

Most patients that take before and after pictures are astounded at the changes in their skin.

Regular maintenance can be done monthly, depending on the type of peel.

The Perfect Peel Toronto

February 27, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto can confidently say that perfect skin is just a peel away with the Perfect Peel.

What sets this peel apart from other chemical peels is the exclusive formula found in the Perfect Peel that offers results that no other peel has ever been able to attain and is suitable for all skin colors and types.

Perfect Peel uses a key anti-aging ingredient named Glutathione.
Glutathione is an anti-oxidant that is proven to prevent damage to the cells caused by free radicals and peroxides.

We all have Glutathione in our body but as we age. it is depleted due to stress, sun exposure, pollution and other environmental stresses.

Glutathione has been proven to reverse melanin metabolism, this is what gives your skin color. Glutathione reverses dark pigmentation. The Perfect Peel is not intended as an overall skin bleaching procedure but rather as a way to reduce and reverse hyper pigmented areas on the skin.

The Perfect Peel works from the inside to improve pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, clear active acne and marks plus reduce hyper-pigmentation. You will have a few days of significant peeling but the results are well worth the social down time.

At Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto Perfect Skin is just a Perfect Peel away.

IPL Toronto-Hyperpigmentation & Fluorescent Lights

September 17, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Did you know that regular exposure to Fluorescent lighting can cause hyperpigmentation?

Recent studies have shown that daily or regular exposure to overhead fluorescent lighting causes the melanocytes ( the cells that give our skin color ) to ignite in much the same way that exposure to UV rays from the sun does.

Over the years we have seen many patients who have hyperpigmentation on their faces who rarely are outside and exposed to the sun. This was always a puzzle as to why they had the hyperpigmented areas usually presenting on the forehead, upper cheek and chin area.

Often times these patients spend their days in a workplace with fluorescent lighting shining over their heads. In these cases the treatment is the same as with pigmentation caused by sun exposure. At Lasting Looks Clinic we have many effective treatments for hyperpigmentation regardless of the cause. These may include chemical peels, IPL Photofacials, lightening products and most importantly in any treatment protocol —the proper zinc SUNBLOCK to be worn 365 days a year.
