Non-surgical Facelift Etobicoke

Juvederm Toronto-A Soft Lift Treatment

January 11, 2015 by Lastinglooks

By now you have heard of injectable fillers being used for plumping lips, building up sagging cheeks and filling nasal labial folds.

But did you know that by combining injectable fillers with Botox Cosmetic we can give your face a more youthful and more rested look?

At Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto our experts can use the appropriate fillers like Juvederm, Teosyal, Restylane to inject into various areas such as the mid face or cheek to gain back volume that is lost with age or weight loss.

We then will use dermal filler to gently enhance lips and smooth out lines around the mouth, chin and jawline.

The next step to a more youthful appearance is to then add Botox Cosmetic.

Botox Cosmetic will relax the muscles especially in the forehead, frowns and around the eye area giving you a more relaxed and rested appearance.

We at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto have been using this 2-step approach for many years giving our patients a wonderful youthful appearance that never gives away their true age.

Ulthera Toronto versus Thermage

November 2, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Ultherapy is the only FDA approved device for both skin tightening and lifting of the muscles and skin of the face and neck.

Ultherapy is the only technology available that uses ultrasound to heat facial muscles as well as skin to create both deep and superficial collagen production. Ultherapy is able to reach a depth of 4.5mm. This depth is more than any other energy device! This technology reaches the smas tissue which is the same layer that surgeons tighten when they perform surgical face-lifts.

Thermage is a radio frequency technology device that heats the skin and can melt fat as well . Thermage offers surface skin tightening.

Although both tighten skin only Ultherapy can tighten and lift muscles. No other technology has the capability of doing this. Ultherapy has this patent with its deep ultra sound lifting.

We now offer Ultherapy at Lasting Looks Clinic in Etobicoke Toronto.

Ultherapy Toronto versus Traditional Facelift

October 22, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Many patients may be on the fence about what procedure to have when it comes to sagging facial tissue.

Here are the differences!

Traditional Facelifts are an invasive surgical procedure

Ultherapy is a non- invasive procedure done with ultrasound.

There is a tremendous difference when the scalpel is used on the tissues as well as the pulling.

The ultherapy non-surgical facelift is done with gentle ultrasound waves.

Of course there will be a more dramatic difference with the traditional face-lift where as Ultherapy will have a more subtle completely natural look.

So it really depends on the difference and how dramatic you want your change to be.

It is not uncommon to repeat the procedure 3 months post with Ultherapy if more tightening is required.

Patients that are candidates for this procedure are usually 20 to 65 years of age with mild or moderate laxity.

Anyone with severe laxity might want to consider a traditional face-lift rather than Ultherapy. For more information visit us at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto at https://www.lastinglooks.ca/ultherapy-toronto/

Ultherapy Toronto , 5 Myths

September 26, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Myth #1: It’s painful and many people can’t even finish the procedure
While there is some mild discomfort with the procedure, Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto uses the latest protocol and newest technology from Ultherapy for optimum results. The software has been upgraded in the last year. It is called the New Amplify 800 Treatment for face and neck which delivers less energy and more pulses. The patient feels much more comfortable without decreasing any benefits at the same time.

Myth #2 The results of Ultherapy don’t last very long, and the treatment must be repeated.
The treatment results are gradual and natural looking, with initial improvements
noticed as soon as two weeks after treatment. The improvements will continue
over 3-6 months and even longer for the maximum results. Occasionally, people
will opt for a touch up procedure after a year or 2; however, the results are
permanent in the sense that you will always look better than you otherwise
would have had you not had the procedure due to the creation of new collagen.

Myth #3 Anyone can perform this procedure, and the results are the same.
The results of Ultherapy® are directly related to the skill of the practitioner
performing the treatment, not just the treatment itself. At Lasting Looks Clinic we do not use a cookie- cutter approach and give everyone the same exact treatment.
We do no treat any two faces the same, since they are not. We take into consideration the physical age of the patient as well as the unique laxity of certain areas that may require more extensive treatment in the area.

Myth #4 I should shop around for the best possible price.
We all know cheaper is not necessarily better, and this is especially true when it
comes to cosmetic work on the face and neck. Saving a couple hundred dollars
here and there could cost you in the long run with a less than optimal
result. As explained above, not all Ultherapy® treatments are the same, and the
results can vary based upon how your personal face is evaluated.

Myth #5 Ultherapy can replace a surgical facelift.
While Ultherapy® can provide a very nice improvement, it will never replace the
results of a surgical facelift. A facelift will result in more lifting and tightening
since excess skin is removed. The ideal Ultherapy® candidate falls into four
general categories:
1) Someone who does not “need” a facelift yet.
2) Someone who cannot medically undergo a surgical procedure
3) Someone who does not want a surgical procedure
4) Someone who has had previous surgery and wants a little tuck up
.

Chemical Peels Toronto & Aging Skin

September 24, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Your skin is the largest organ in your body, so it takes a lot of abuse. You put your skin at risk when you leave it unprotected outdoors or in settings that are environmentally risky.
Here’s what not to do if you want to preserve your skin.

Skimp on Sunscreen

Your sunscreen probably isn’t shielding you from sun damage because most of us don’t apply the recommended sunblock with ZINC. If you’re going to be outside, always wear protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat, seek the shade, & wear sunblock. Or else you can cause just a few of the common noticeable signs of aging Wrinkles, and Brown Spots (pigmentation). Lather up and protect your skin!

Smoke

You know about the health risks of smoking, but did you know that smoking could also lead to wrinkles? Study after study shows how extensively smoking ages the skin. It does a lot of what the sun does. It just does it inside the body instead of outside

Smoking also yellows the skin, interferes with its blood supply, and slows wound healing. So we suggest doing a microdermabrasion or chemical peels to exfoliate those dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin.

Scrub Your Skin

Washing your face is a good idea. Scrubbing it isn’t. Scrubbing can be very irritating to the skin, A lot of times, people who have acne will feel like they have to scrub the skin to make it better, but that can actually worsen the acne. Use peels to exfoliate your skin.

Pop Your Pimples

Control any sudden urge to pop a pimple. Picking can actually make the acne worse and lead to permanent acne scarring. Instead of popping pimples, try a salicylic acid peel

Stress Out

It’s not your imagination. Stress really does show in your skin. It’s not well understood, but it’s clear that stress makes many skin conditions worse. It can cause wrinkles. Sometimes too deep that botox isn’t the answer you may need Juvederm Filler. Stress can cause flare-ups of psoriasis and rosacea as well as acne. Photo Facial (IPL) is recommended to treat these conditions.

Overeat

When you gain a lot of weight, your skin has to stretch to accommodate your new girth. Lose the weight and you’ll be left with flabby, saggy skin. Ultherapy is a non-surgical facelift that uses ultrasound technology to tighten and tone the face, neck, and décolleté.

Skin Tightening Toronto with Ultherapy

September 23, 2014 by Lastinglooks

Ultherapy is different than Conventional Skin Tightening

Ultherapy works differently than conventional lasers that target the outer layers on the skin.

Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin and delivers energy to the deepest layers of the skin. In a nutshell, it causes damage to the collagen layers of the skin and this in turn regulates new collagen. The procedure uses Ultrasound technology and not Radio Frequency.

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound technology to identify and treat the deeper layers of skin without compromising superficial tissue. It is the only non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA for both tightening and lifting the muscles and skin of the neck, under the chin, sides of face and eyebrows. Results take some time as collagen is being generated.

Ultherapy reviews report a higher satisfaction than any other technology in its category. If it is only skin tightening you are looking for then yes most laser treatments will affect the top layer of skin causing an improvement in facial lines and wrinkles, and an immediate contraction of collagen as the damaged top layer of skin is removed but non deliver the patented technology that Ultherapy offers that goes down as far as the muscle. Ultherapy is a treatment of choice because you are getting the added benefit of skin tightening as well as muscle lifting. For more information on Ultherapy visit Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto.
