How to Get Clear Skin with Microdermabrasion & Chemical Peels

nil1673@hotmail.com (SHERINE RAVEENDRAN) — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 19:28:29 GMT

The path to healthy, clear skin is not always straightforward, making people seek out aesthetic treatments for solutions. Thankfully, with chemical peels and microdermabrasion , relief is attainable and convenient compared to other rather intrusive methods.

So, let’s dig into what these procedures treat and how microdermabrasion benefits people in achieving glowing, youthful skin.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a painless buffing process designed to exfoliate the delicate top layer of skin, removing dead cells and dirt. The microdermabrasion tool utilizes tiny crystals and suction to gently “sand” the skin and whisk away debris, revealing the fresh, smooth skin layer beneath.

People often use microdermabrasion to treat the following concerns:

Scars
Acne and blemishes
Sun damage
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Dull and congested skin
Hyperpigmentation
Enlarged pores

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels utilize customized solutions to remove the outermost layers of skin, exposing the youthful skin underneath. Formulations of these different peels consist of various acid-based treatments of varying strengths, and their use depends on the specific client’s skin type and needs.

People often use chemical peels to treat the following concerns:

Sun damage
Signs of aging
Uneven skin tone
Dark spots, freckles, and pigmentation
Acne and acne scars
Oily skin with blackheads and whiteheads

Who is it For?

These treatments benefit all skin types and tones, making them an excellent option for people with varying skin concerns. While clients tend to be adults of all ages, microdermabrasion and chemical peels may be viable solutions for teens suffering from problematic acne conditions.

If you are unsure whether you may be a good candidate, speak with your certified esthetician about how chemical peel and microdermabrasion benefits may help you.

Benefits of Both Treatments

Both skin treatments are highly beneficial for achieving rejuvenated, youthful skin. Yet, how do you know which is best for you?

Microdermabrasion is suitable for surface-level treatment, whereas chemical peels are more beneficial for deeper issues. In addition, chemical peels have unique formulations and strengths according to the individual’s specific needs and goals, whereas microdermabrasion focuses on the surface level.

The following benefits are valuable for improving complexion and feeling renewed. Both treatments help with the following:

Anti-aging
Acne breakouts and scars
Pigmentation reduction
Deep moisturization
Increased blood flow

Both treatments help rejuvenate the skin by promoting collagen production, which produces more even, clear skin. Furthermore, they are considered non-invasive and are suitable for all skin types, making them convenient and accessible.

What to Expect Post-treatment

Both treatments may involve dryness, redness, and peeling skin; however, this will calm down within 24 hours with microdermabrasion. Chemical peel recovery lasts longer depending on the intensity of the formula and could take 7 to 14 days to heal, but depending on the depth of the peel, the redness could remain for months.

The important thing is not to agitate the skin and stay moisturized. So, drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, and avoid picking at any loose or peeling skin. Follow all provider instructions and use cold compresses if your skin is uncomfortable.

Both procedures provide smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin while helping to eliminate unwanted blemishes or discolouration.

A Closer Look at the Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment

A Closer Look at the Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment

Losing your hair can be difficult. It can change your appearance, hurt your self-esteem, and can cause you to lose confidence in your daily life. If you have thin hair or if you’re losing your hair, you have likely looked at many different options, trying to find a solution that works.

One option that is very effective in helping with hair loss is PRP hair treatment.

What is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP hair treatment stands for platelet-rich plasma treatments. Platelets are small blood cells that help your body heal and recover. For instance, if a blood vessel is damaged, platelets will rush to the site of the damage and encourage clotting that will fix the damage. PRP is plasma that contains many more platelets than are typically found in the blood.

This plasma is obtained from the patient. The blood is then separated in a centrifuge and the platelet-rich plasma is removed and injected into areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.

How Does it Work?

One of the ways that PRP hair treatment works is that platelets encourage healing in your body by increasing the production of new cells. Through this process, the platelets regenerate tissue and heal the body. When used on your scalp, this helps stimulate inactive hair follicles and encourage hair growth.

The process also works to stimulate collagen production in the body. Collagen provides structural support to the body and strengthens the framework of cells and tissues.

The natural healing processes that are stimulated through PRP treatments cause your body to grow hair while also thickening your existing hair. As a result, both men and women can see additional hair growth.

It typically takes a few months for results to be visible and several treatments may be required to achieve the desired effect. Our team will help you understand what to expect and provide you with a treatment plan that will give the greatest benefit.

What are the Benefits?

As mentioned, there are many hair growth strategies and treatments out there. However, the reality is many of them don’t work or have limited benefits. PRP hair treatments, however, have many proven benefits for a wide range of people in different situations.

Non-Invasive
Unlike surgeries, transplants, and other treatments, PRP is a non-invasive process. You may experience minor soreness or discomfort in the injection area, but there is no significant downtime and you will be able to go back to your normal activities quickly.

Safe
PRP treatments use your body’s own cells. This means there is no chance of an allergic reaction or a rejection. A trained professional can ensure that you receive safe and effective treatment.

Effective
It has been proven that PRP is an effective treatment for hair loss. This is especially true in situations of androgenetic alopecia, which is sometimes known as “male-pattern baldness.” This hair loss condition can occur in both men and women. It often results in thinning hair in the crown or front but can occur across the entire scalp.

Convenient
As mentioned, there is no significant recovery time following a PRP session. Each treatment typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities shortly after.

Versatile
PRP treatments can work in many different areas, and the injections can be targeted to your particular issue.

If you are experiencing hair loss and looking for solutions, we can help. Our team at Toronto Medical Aesthetics has the skill, knowledge, and experience needed to help you look and feel your best.

PRP Vampire Facials with Dermastamp

nil1673@hotmail.com (SHERINE RAVEENDRAN) — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 19:49:05 GMT

PRP Vampire Facials with Dermastamp

So you want to achieve bright, glowing skin that looks youthful? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because if there’s one treatment we could recommend for everyone for skin vibrancy, it is absolutely the vampire facial .

Combine it with the dermastamp, and we’ve got a feeling that your skin will never look better.

Let’s review what this treatment entails.

What is a Vampire Facial?

If the sound of a vampire facial has you shaking in your boots, never fear, because we can also call it PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment.

Either way, what occurs during the treatment?

During your vampire facial, we need to do a standard blood draw. Your blood will then be put into a centrifuge that separates out the platelet-rich plasma.

Why do we want platelet-rich plasma? Because platelet-rich plasma helps to stimulate the production of new, healthy skin. In addition, platelets will help to activate stem cells in your skin. The result is the production of more collagen, tighter skin, and a visibly lifted appearance.

Having said that, we don’t simply want to apply the PRP to the skin without first ensuring that the skin is activated and ready to receive all the benefits of PRP.

We do this by adding on dermastamping, which is a procedure that uses small needles to “injure” the skin.

By creating these super tiny puncture wounds in the skin, we not only promote the production of even more collagen, but we also open up the pores so that the PRP can have even better absorption into the skin.

What is the process like?

Your vampire facial won’t require you to do much work.

You’ll start by having your blood drawn, which will be no different than a standard blood draw you might have done at your doctor’s office.

We’ll then complete the dermastamping on you, which will require you to lie back as we use a tool to create those small puncture wounds.

Once the dermastamping is complete, we gently apply the PRP onto the face. For maximum absorption benefits, we recommend clients leave the PRP on the skin for as long as possible.

Is it painful?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but no, we wouldn’t say the vampire facial is painful. For some, it might create some discomfort, but it’s not anywhere close to the level of pain you might experience with more invasive treatments.

We also like to remind clients that we have numbing cream available that we can use prior to dermastamping to help further reduce any discomfort.

When will I see results and how often should I receive this treatment?

It can take a full week for your skin to heal from a vampire facial. This means you will likely notice some redness and irritation immediately after your treatment, but this will fade with time so that after a week your skin looks visibly brighter, plumper, and more youthful.

To achieve the best results possible, we generally recommend three treatments. These can be spaced out over the span of three months. After this, you’ll find that receiving yearly vampire facials is suitable for maintaining results. In fact, some clients can even space their appointments out 24 months apart if they are taking great care of their skin between appointments.

There are few treatments that are as impactful as the vampire facial. Combining both dermastamping with the healing power of PRP can help to restore your skin to its youthful vibrancy.

If this sounds like a dream to you, we want to help make it your reality. For questions, give us a call at 905-947-1221 or book your vampire facial today .

OxyGeneo™: The Super Facial

nil1673@hotmail.com (SHERINE RAVEENDRAN) — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 03:28:14 GMT

OxyGeneo™: The Super Facial

Imagine getting microdermabrasion, a brightening facial, and a nutrient-rich serum treatment all in one. The OxyGeneo™ facial provides the exfoliation and skin rejuvenation you were dreaming of.

With this innovative system, you can enjoy the benefits of multiple skin treatments in just one simple visit. If we’ve piqued your curiosity, keep reading to learn more about the OxyGeneo™ super facial at Toronto Medical Aesthetics.

What is an OxyGeneo™ Facial?

The OxyGeneo™ facial is a treatment that simultaneously targets multiple skin concerns. It utilizes innovative technologies for skin exfoliation, overall brightening, and improvements in skin oxygen levels. Improvement of oxygen levels is regenerative to cells and tissue recovery.

In addition, this detoxing facial formula includes the infusion of skin-boosting nutrients which enhance the luster, luminosity, and texture of all skin tones.

How Does This Treatment Work?

The OxyGeneo™ facial uses the Bohr Effect to facilitate your skin rejuvenation. The Bohr effect describes what happens when the concentration of carbon dioxide increases within tissues. Essentially, a higher level of CO2 results in more oxygen being released from the hemoglobin in the blood.

The OxyGeneo™ facial is designed to gently penetrate the skin and generate extra CO2 to trigger the Bohr effect, naturally boosting oxygen levels in the blood. The result? After just one session, the cascade of skin rejuvenation processes that lead to firm skin is triggered.

Who is the Ideal Candidate?

A diverse population can use OxyGeneo™. If you are sensitive to facial peels, microdermabrasion or any cosmetic ingredients, consult with one of our practitioners, your doctor, or dermatologist before trying this treatment.

Generally, an OxyGeneo™ facial is an excellent option for those looking to experience gentle exfoliation, a brighter complexion, more skin hydration, and firm skin.

How Long Do The Results Last?

The skin detoxing results of this treatment are immediate. You will improve your skin tone and texture after just one facial. You can look forward to skin that feels soft, smooth, and has a healthy natural glow.

For most individuals, results will last for a month or two with proper care. Retreatments to maintain your firm skin and its rejuvenation as the skin cell growth cycle, oxidation, sun damage, and similar wear and tear will inevitably reoccur.

For those targeting acne or hyperpigmentation, we recommend once-a-week treatments to see results. For those seeking anti-aging effects and regular upkeep, once-a-month treatments are often recommended.

Why Choose Toronto Medical Aesthetics for OxyGeneo™ Facials?

When looking for skin rejuvenation, Toronto Medical Aesthetics has the right practitioners for your OxyGeneo™ facial. Our aesthetics center serves the GTA with pride, helping the members of our community unleash their beauty and unlock their confidence.

The Must-Know Basics of Neurotoxins

nil1673@hotmail.com (SHERINE RAVEENDRAN) — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 19:59:34 GMT

As we age, our skin changes. Wrinkles may start to form more often, and the lines and creases you see when you smile, squint, or laugh become more pronounced. The good news is that there are ways to relax these areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

One common and effective approach is the usage of neurotoxins. What are neurotoxins? They are injectable substances that temporarily affect the normal function of nerve cells.

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, are frequently used to treat dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by muscle movement, such as smiling or winking.

How do neurotoxins work?

When neurotoxins (for example, Botox) are injected into your wrinkles, they block nerve impulses to your muscles, causing them to relax. When your muscles are relaxed, you won’t experience dynamic facial wrinkles when you frown, smile, squint, or laugh. Instead, your face will appear much smoother and more refreshed, and you’ll have a more youthful appearance.

Does it hurt?

Most people do not feel any significant discomfort when receiving injections. That’s because neurotoxins, like Botox, are typically injected with a very small needle. This fine needle is barely noticeable, and you are likely to only feel a slight stinging sensation if you feel anything at all.

The neurotoxin injection process also often involves prepping the area with a topical numbing cream and an ice pack is used after the injection. These measures help ensure you feel minimal pain or discomfort during the process.

How long does it last?

While neurotoxins are a very effective way to smooth wrinkles and reduce their appearance, the results are not permanent.

A common question is “How long does Botox last?” and the answer is that it depends on the person. In general, you can expect the effects of Botox to be visible for about four to five months.

Results, however, vary from person to person. For example, Botox effects may be visible for a longer time in people with skin with more elasticity, who practice good skin care, and who have had Botox before. The effects of your first treatment will usually wear off sooner than subsequent treatments.

What can I expect after my appointment?

It typically takes at least 24 to 48 hours to start seeing the effects of a neurotoxin injection. Your muscles must absorb the substance for it to be effective, and that usually does not happen immediately.

You may feel some slight tenderness or mild bruising following your treatment, but this discomfort will quickly subside.

For approximately 24 hours after receiving your injections, you should avoid massaging or touching the treated areas. Doing so could cause the neurotoxins to spread to other parts of your face and create an unintended effect.

It is also a good idea to wait at least 24 hours before exercising since this could increase the risk of bruising in the area and, in some cases, lead to headaches. You can safely resume other daily activities following your treatment.

What is the ideal age to start using neurotoxins?

While many people who get neurotoxins do so when they get older, the ideal age to start using them is in your late 20s. That’s because neurotoxins can’t actually eliminate wrinkles - they simply reduce their appearance. If you begin neurotoxin injections earlier, you will address wrinkles and fine lines before they become more pronounced.
