Injectable Treatments

Injectable botulinum toxin treatments are used as a method for relaxing muscles to smooth out wrinkles on the face, neck and most commonly the lips. This can reduce crow's feet and frown lines, and may even help with perspiration problems. These treatments may need to be done repeatedly.

Chemical Peel

The doctor uses a chemical solution to peel away the skin's top layers and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. This can repair unevenly pigmented, acne-scarred or sun-damaged skin, mainly for the face and neck, but it can also be performed on arms, legs and chest.

Collagen Injections

Collagen injections are a treatment designed to replenish collagen, a natural protein in the body which diminishes as we age. Collagen is injected under the skin to remove wrinkles and facial lines and repair sun damage and scars.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® uses a process called cryptolysis to cool small amounts of fat in the thighs, lower back, belly and sides to a freezing temperature. While not as effective a treatment for obesity, CoolSculpting® can help reduce stubborn fat not easily shed by normal diet and exercise.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is similar to a chemical peel, but instead of a chemical solution, the doctor uses a high speed rotating brush to surgically remove layers of skin. This removes wrinkles, scars and other blemishes, and the skin is rejuvenated as new skin cells grow in.

Endermologie

Also known as therapeutic massage, endermologie treatments use mechanized rollers applied to the surface of the skin, which increases blood flow while stimulating and tightening the skin. It can also reduce fat cells, resulting in a slimmer body.

Laser Facial Resurfacing

Laser facial resurfacing is a method of removing fine wrinkles and softening lines on the face, particularly around the mouth and eyes. The doctor uses a pulsed beam from a carbon dioxide laser to vaporize the outer layer of skin in a very precise manner.

Laser Hair Removal

A method of permanently removing unwanted body hair, laser hair removal works on an area of the skin rather than individual hairs, so larger areas such as the back can be treated. The heat of the laser damages the hair follicles, preventing growth.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

A wand-like laser can make wrinkles and other unwanted skin cells disappear from arms, legs and chest and even delicate areas. The laser is very precise, allowing the surgeon more control over depth of skin penetration.

Laser Lipolysis

Laser lipolysis is a minimally-invasive procedure which uses laser energy to help eliminate fat and change the shape and appearance of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and hips. During the procedure your surgeon will make a tiny incision in the area to be treated, then insert a laser under the top layer of skin. Fat deposits in the area are broken up, then vacuumed or massaged out, depending on how much melted fat needs to be removed.

Radiofrequency Lipolysis

Radiofrequency lipolysis looks much like a combination of cryolipolysis and laser lipolysis. An paddle-like instrument is held against the skin in the area your physician is targeting, and transfers heat via radio waves through the dermis and down to the muscle layer. Fat cells are heated just enough to eliminate them without damaging the surrounding skin and muscle layers, and are eventually evacuated from the body over several weeks.

Injectable Lipolysis

Injectable lipolysis uses a chemical injection to reduce fat cells, particularly in applications underneath the chin to reduce the look of “double-chin”. A synthetic version of a chemical called deoxycholic acid is injected into the area of treatment, which causes fat cell disruption and eventually death of the fat cells. As with other types of lipolysis, the results are not immediate, but are noticeable over several weeks as the body evacuates the dead cells.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Body contouring or sculpting procedures are used to destroy and filter out unwanted fat cells, helping to reshape areas such as upper arms, abdomen, love handles and thighs. Less drastic than liposuction or other surgical cosmetic procedures, non-surgical body contouring uses cold, heat, ultrasound or radiofrequency-based treatments to target smaller areas of fat that are more resistant to traditional diet and exercise

Permanent Makeup

Sometimes called micro-pigmentation, permanent makeup is an option for those who don't like to apply regular makeup, or are allergic to it. Permanent makeup can also cover skin disorders, and make eyes and lips more defined. Much like a tattoo, pigment is inserted into the skin's dermal layer.

Vitamin A Treatment

Vitamin A which can be applied to the body in a series of treatments. It is primarily used for softening wrinkles, restoring natural skin colour to discolored skin and for improving overall skin texture. It can also be used as a pretreatment prior to chemical peels, laser treatments, dermabrasion or other surgical and non-surgical treatments to help speed healing and prevent scarring.
