Photo Rejuvenation Toronto & Collagen Stimulation

July 29, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Photo Rejuvenation also known as Photo Facial or Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments is a treatment for brown spots, broken capillaries and overall redness or Rosacea in the skin.

Most people aren’t aware that IPL can also help to stimulate the production of new collagen in the treated areas.

This occurs because while the treatment is targeting the upper damaged layers of the skin it is also delivering heat (thermal energy) to the deeper layers. The skin reacts as if it would to a superficial wound by stimulating fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are the cells in the body that make collagen.

Lasting Looks Clinic Anti-Aging and Laser Clinic in Toronto has been providing patients with Photo Facial treatments since it was first introduced to the market.

We have seen dramatic results in patients that undergo these treatments not only with the repair of sun damage but also with the thickening of collagen fibers and density of the skin.

What a wonderful bonus for patients undergoing treatment for an unsightly condition such as sun damage or Rosacea – and ending up with denser more luminous skin!!

Skin Care Toronto & Menopause

May 14, 2015 by Lastinglooks

Menopause can have many aging effects on your skin including Acne and Rosacea from the menopausal imbalances of hormones. After menopause there is usually a loss of volume and elasticity in the face and skin.

As estrogen decreases, the production of melanin slows down. Melanin is used to protect the skin. With a reduction of melanin in our skin it may appear to be paler. Without the extra production of this protection we may be more prone to “age spots” or hyperpigmented areas on the skin where we have had sun exposure in the past.

Age spots usually appear on the face, hands, chest and back. Lasting Looks Anti-Aging and Laser Clinic treats browns spots using IPL, Photo-Rejuvenation and various chemical peel treatments.

A proper zinc oxide sunblock should also be used to protect your skin from further sun damage.

As the estrogen levels decrease in woman the testosterone levels continue to stimulate the production of sebum (oil) resulting in oilier skin thus leading to the possibility of adult acne. It is very important to try to control the effects of this with the use of Benzol Peroxide based products and the appropriate clinical peels.

Losing the support of fat in the skin results in wrinkling and sagging. This sagging and wrinkling can be corrected with the use of Botox as well as Fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Teosyal.

is also a great anti-aging option that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate the production of collagen as well as lifting the tissues on the face and neck.

Dermal Fillers Toronto & Rejuvenating Hands

April 15, 2015 by Lastinglooks

There is an old saying “ you can tell a persons age by looking at their hands”.

Too often we pay attention to the skin primarily from the neck up and ignoring our hands. Some of us apply sunblock only to the face and not the hands.

Our hands are always exposed to the sun and elements; hence becoming one of the first places to show age by producing brown spots and thinner wrinkly skin.

Lasting Looks Anti Aging and Laser Clinic treat the hands with many of the same anti-aging protocols used on the face.

IPL (photo-rejuvenation) can be use on the tops of the hands to reduce the brown spots and even help to rebuild collagen.

As for the wrinkly thin skin, injectable fillers such as Juvederm and Teosyal can be injected to help to plump up the hands giving them a fuller more youthful appearance.
