What is Botox, and what are the benefits?

Botox, a purified form of botulinum toxin, offers a variety of benefits for individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing targeted muscles, which helps to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead furrows. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking fast results with minimal disruption to their daily routines. Furthermore, Botox has been shown to be effective in treating excessive sweating and migraines, expanding its applications beyond cosmetic enhancements.

What is Dysport, and what are the benefits?

Dysport, another injectable neurotoxin derived from botulinum toxin type A, offers several benefits similar to those of Botox. Dysport is especially effective in addressing moderate to severe glabellar lines, the vertical frown lines that develop between the eyebrows. Its formulation diffuses more broadly than Botox, potentially requiring fewer injections and allowing for a more natural, less "frozen" appearance. Dysport is also known for its fast-acting nature, with visible results appearing within 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. As with Botox, Dysport treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime, making them an appealing option for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance without resorting to surgical interventions.

Discover everything you need to know before your first chemical face peel treatment

Put your best face forward with a chemical face peel! A chemical peel treatment is one of the best ways to improve the appearance and health of your skin.

Chemical peels will exfoliate your skin using acids derived from fruit. The treatment aids in removing dead skin cells from the upper layers of your skin and promotes the healthy skin cells below to rise to the surface, a process called cell turnover. Revealing a fresh layer of beautiful skin along with many other benefits!

What to Expect During Your Chemical Face Peel Treatment?

During the treatment your skin may feel warm and/or tingly as the peel rejuvenates and exfoliates your skin. Upon completion of the chemical peel a calming moisturizing lotion will be applied to hydrate your skin and leave it feeling smooth and soft.

What to Expect After Your Chemical Face Peel Treatment?

After the face peel treatment is completed you may expect your skin to have a mild pink hue, along with appearing more youthful and glowing.

Peeling can be expected, but everyone will experience different levels of peeling. Some may not experience any peeling at all, but don’t worry, that does not mean your chemical face peel treatment was ineffective. Your skin’s response is directly dependent upon skin type, type of peel, and the number of layers applied. Others may experience large portions of the skin peeling off at once, known as “sheeting”, or some may experience small pieces of the skin peeling off, known as “flaking”. Your end result is exfoliation of dead skin, revealing new and healthy skin.

Benefits include:

• Youthful and healthy skin
• Minimal recovery and down-time
• Even out skin tone and texture
• Reduce dark spots
• Remove dead skin
• Visibly reduce fine lines
• Eliminate acne and acne scars
• Boost collagen production

Get the most powerful and effective Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment available today with LUMECCA IPL

If you want to dramatically improve the appearance of your skin with a treatment that is safe, non-invasive, and effective, get ready to discover LUMECCA IPL!

LUMECCA IPL treatment uses a form of light therapy to treat and rejuvenate the look of the skin. It is used to improve the skin’s complexion, reducing the look of pigmentation and vascular lesions.  Using breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL), the treatment is optimized for clinicians to treat a variety of skin types and conditions. Results can be seen even within a single session!

Exposure to sunlight over the years takes its toll on our skin. Usually, it results in pigmentation, spots, redness due to broken capillaries, rough skin and wrinkles. Lumecca IPL treatment does not break the skin’s outer layer, and the result ensures a low risk of complications, no down time, and fast-acting rejuvenation.

The benefits of LUMECCA IPL treatment

LUMECCA IPL treatment is an effective way to treat a variety of skin concerns and offers the following benefits to clients looking to improve the way their skin looks and feels!  Some of the uses of IPL skin treatments are:

• IPL for rosacea
• IPL for melasma
• IPL for dark spots
• IPL laser for acne and acne scarring

Rejuvenation anywhere

Just about any area on the body can be treated and rejuvenated. Most common areas include the face, neck, chest, legs, hands and arms. In just 1- 3 treatments, you’ll see improvement in reduction of age spots, vascular lesions, rosacea, freckles, and previous sun damage.

Non-invasive and fast recovery

After 1- 3 treatments, the skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time, with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. After use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of their skin.

A speedy recovery

Although we recommend avoiding direct sunlight and tanning for at least a week after your treatment, many patients do not experience any negative effects. In fact, this photofacial treatment requires zero downtime and is a fantastic cosmetic alternative to surgery.

LUMECCA IPL side effects

Most patients do not experience any side effects.  Any skin reactions that may be seen, will usually resolve within a few hours.  After treatment, some patients find they are more sensitive to sunlight, so we recommend staying out of the sun and tanning booths following 24 hours.

Remove Unwanted Tattoos with PicoSure Pro

Experience easier and more efficient tattoo removal with the PicoSure Pro laser. Its 755nm wavelength effectively targets black, blue, and green inks.

With PicoSure Pro, you can also:

• Customize treatments with variable spot sizes
• Utilize turbo mode for improved treatment of stubborn tattoos with a shortened pulse width
• Safely treat black ink on darker skin types using the 1064nm delivery system

How does PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal work?

• PicoSure Pro laser energy targets the tattoo ink, breaking it down into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in the gradual fading of the tattoo.
• What does laser tattoo removal feel like?
• The sensation of PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal is often likened to the feeling of getting a tattoo, though the process is much quicker. Your practitioner will discuss comfort options tailored to your needs.
• How many treatments will tattoo removal require?
• The number of treatments needed for tattoo removal varies based on factors such as ink type, tattoo size, location on the body, the laser used, and your lifestyle habits. During your consultation, a practitioner will assess your tattoo and create a customized treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
• How often will I need treatments?
• Typically, it takes 4-8 weeks for the body to process and absorb the ink particles after each session. However, individual responses can vary. Adhering to the recommended post-treatment care can enhance results and minimize any potential side effects.
• How will my skin look after the laser treatment?
• Immediately following treatment, you may notice slight whitening or "frosting" of the skin, which will subside quickly. Mild swelling and redness are also common. Your practitioner will provide guidance on how to keep the treated area moisturized.
• My tattoo was treated with a laser in the past and didn’t clear, why would I try again now?
• Before the advent of PicoSure Pro, Q-Switched lasers were the standard for tattoo removal, using thermal energy to break down ink particles. PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short pulses to shatter ink into minuscule, dust-like particles, which are more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body. This technology has shown great success in removing stubborn blue and green inks, as well as previously treated tattoos that were difficult to clear.
• Can I lighten the tattoo to have another one put on top?
• Yes, tattoos can be lightened in preparation for a cover-up. Your practitioner may suggest waiting six weeks between your final treatment and getting your new tattoo.
• How much does tattoo removal cost?
• The cost of PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal depends on various factors, including the size of the tattoo and the number of sessions required. Since tattoo removal is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance. After your consultation, your practitioner will provide an estimate for the treatment series.

What are skin tags?

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, benign, and harmless growths that commonly develop on the surface of the skin. They consist of a core of fibers, ducts, nerve cells, and fat cells, covered by a thin layer of skin. Skin tags are usually flesh-colored or slightly pigmented and can vary in size from a tiny pinhead to several millimeters in diameter. They tend to form in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin area.

Why should I consider getting them removed?

One primary reason individuals may seek skin tag removal is for cosmetic purposes. Skin tags are benign growths that can vary in size, shape, and color, often appearing as small, flesh-colored, or slightly pigmented protrusions. They tend to develop in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin area. Although skin tags are harmless and rarely cause pain or discomfort, their appearance can be bothersome to some people, impacting their self-esteem and confidence. Removing skin tags can help improve an individual's overall satisfaction with their physical appearance and restore their self-confidence.

Another reason for skin tag removal is the potential for irritation and discomfort caused by friction or snagging. When skin tags are located in areas of frequent contact with clothing, jewelry, or body parts, they can become irritated, inflamed, or even bleed. This can lead to discomfort and a heightened risk of infection if not properly cared for. Removing skin tags in these areas can help prevent ongoing irritation, reduce the risk of complications, and enhance overall comfort for individuals who experience recurrent issues with their skin tags.

What is The Bovie System?

The Bovie system is an advanced medical device specifically designed for the removal of skin tags and other minor skin irregularities. It is named after its inventor, Dr. William T. Bovie, who developed the first electrosurgical unit in the 1920s. The modern Bovie system utilizes high-frequency radio waves to effectively remove skin tags with minimal discomfort and tissue damage. This innovative technique has become a popular choice among medical professionals and patients alike, as it offers a safe, efficient, and minimally invasive solution for skin tag removal.

How does it work?

The Bovie system works by generating a controlled, localized electrical current that is delivered via a specialized handheld device. The device features a fine wire loop or needle that, when applied to the skin tag, creates a high-frequency electrical circuit. This circuit generates heat, which in turn rapidly cuts and coagulates the tissue, resulting in the immediate and precise removal of the skin tag. The process is virtually painless and typically does not require anesthesia, although a local anesthetic may be applied for increased patient comfort during the procedure.

What are the advantages?

In addition to its effectiveness and minimal discomfort, the Bovie system also boasts several other advantages. The radio waves used in the process are highly targeted, minimizing the risk of scarring and damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The system's ability to coagulate the blood vessels during removal also reduces the likelihood of bleeding and infection. Furthermore, the recovery time is relatively quick, with most patients able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. As a result, the Bovie system has gained widespread recognition as a reliable and convenient method for skin tag removal.

Micro-Needling therapy is a new and exciting procedure that is fast becoming popular among countless individuals seeking the reduction of fine lines, scars and wanting to improve their skin’s quality. This innovative procedure is also referred to as Epidermal Collagen Induction Therapy (ECIT). Micro-Needling for the face is used mainly as a collagen induction therapy for scars, stretch marks and for anti-ageing effects. This new skincare treatment provides hope to those who have been burdened with scars, acne scars, poor skin texture, and fine lines.

What is the Microneedling Therapy?

An Eclipse MicroPen® is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to assist in the production of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. In addition, Eclipse MicroPen® also creates micro-channels allowing topical gels, creams and serums to be effectually absorbed, this in turn enhances the effects in deeper layers of the skin. Bottom line, it stimulates the body’s own collagen production to help reduce wrinkles, stretch marks and scarring.

Microneedling Benefits?

The obvious benefits from microneedling for face treatments are the reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition there is an improvement of skin tone and texture leaving softer, younger looking skin with fewer signs of aging.  Skin issues such as: uneven skin tone, traumatic scarring, stretch marks and other ‘annoyances’ of the skin that can bother us, will experience a notable improvement. As a result, you are left looking and feeling much better about yourself. Other benefits include:

• Affordable
• Effective
• Minimal Downtime
• Minimal Discomfort
• Safe for Most Skin Types
• Natural Results

What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated?

The Eclipse MicroPen® can be used on all parts of the body. So, no matter what area of the body you want to see change, it can happen with this innovative procedure.

What Exactly is this Procedure?

The Eclipse MicroPen® has a sterile cartridge containing 12 tiny micro-points attached to it. A qualified skin-care professional applies a sterile saline to the skin and selects the appropriate pen position based on the client’s unique needs. Next, the Eclipse MicroPen® is gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered. The high speed (8,500 rpm) motion minimizes discomfort; this is a great advantage over the other light-based and heat-based devices.

Micro-Needling is a 15 to 30 minute procedure depending on the size of the area to be treated.

The sensation associated with the Eclipse MicroPen® is somewhat similar to low grit sandpaper being moved across the skin. Although some areas of the body may be more sensitive than others, the speed of the tip makes this procedure comfortable.

Is There Downtime After Treatment?

Right after treatment the skin will appear to be bright red. Healing time depends on the pen position used and the number of overlapping passes your skin care professional performs. Many clients report experiencing redness anywhere from two to four days, some say the redness is gone within 24 hours. Following the guidance of your skin care professional is important, in order to aid in the healing process.

How Soon Will Results Be Attained?

Right away there is a glow to the skin. Visible changes to the skin occur over the course of several weeks. Results have been known to improve up to six months after treatment.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Each person will have a different answer to this question. Depending on the change you seek and your skin type will determine how many Micro-Needling treatments are required. Some individuals only require one treatment. Most individuals will require a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced out between 6 and 8 weeks. If an individual has significant skin issues then 6 to 8 sessions will probably be required at 6 week intervals.

Are There Any Contraindications?

• History of eczema
• Psoriasis and other chronic conditions
• History of keratosis or herpes simplex
• History of diabetes
• Raised moles or warts on treatment areas

Advanced Solution for Vascular Lesions

The presence of unsightly veins can be a concern for both men and women, prompting the search for effective treatment options. These veins may manifest as prominent and bulging lesions or finer, shorter spider veins that resemble lines or webs. Vasculaze emerges as a solution to address a wide spectrum of facial and leg vein issues, employing a laser specifically designed to target and treat the underlying blood vessels responsible for these blemishes.

Key Features of Vasculaze:

Vasculaze utilizes a specially designed head to precisely pinpoint veins or vein networks, ensuring treatments are accurate and safe. The technology behind Vasculaze involves sending pulses of light onto the veins, gradually fading and eliminating them without the need for invasive procedures, incisions, or needles.

Causes of Vascular Lesions:

Various factors contribute to the development of vascular lesions, including family history or genetics, older age, sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, prolonged standing, and pregnancy.

Commonality of Vascular Lesions:

Vascular lesions affect 10-15% of adults, with a higher prevalence among females than males. They can appear in localized body areas, spread across multiple areas, or manifest as singular lines or clusters. Vasculaze not only treats existing lesions but also plays a preventive role in halting their progression.

Types of Veins Treatable:

Your aesthetic provider will conduct an assessment to determine the suitable vascular veins for treatment. In general, recommended veins for Vasculaze treatment include facial and spider veins, port wine stains, leg veins, telangiectasias, and angiomas. Larger varicose veins are typically not suitable for Vasculaze treatment.

Areas of Treatment:

Vasculaze is commonly used to treat various areas, including:

• Face
• Décolleté
• Arms
• Upper thighs
• Back of thighs
• Lower legs

Number of Sessions:

Typically, three sessions are performed, though some lesions may require additional treatments. Gradual improvements in the treated area become noticeable after the initial session, with the skin's surface appearing clearer as treatments progress.

Recovery Process:

Vasculaze treatments offer a quick and convenient solution with minimal downtime. The procedure takes only a few seconds per treated vein, allowing patients to enter and leave the office within minutes. Recovery involves avoiding heavy exercise for a few days to a week, depending on the treated area. Sun protection with SPF is essential for the treated areas.

To explore whether you are a candidate for Vasculaze, consult with our Medical Aesthetic provider, who can provide personalized insights and guidance tailored to your unique needs.

Scar Treatment FAQ’s:

How does laser scar treatment work?

PicoSure Pro laser scar treatment uses ultra-short pulses of light to penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers, targeting the underlying structure. The body's natural healing process then removes the older, damaged tissue and replaces it with new collagen and elastin, leading to healthier, smoother skin.

What types of scars can be treated?

PicoSure Pro is FDA-cleared and Health Canada approved for treating acne scars on any part of the body, including the face.

Am I a good candidate for this treatment?

Wrinkle Treatment FAQ’s:

How does it work?

Morpheus8 is considered one of the top microneedling treatments for various areas of the face and body. It is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face. It penetrates deep into the skin and fat for smoother skin. As a result, you can reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, remodel some areas of unwanted fat, and restore a youthful look without surgery or lasers.

Morpheus8 is adaptable to treat areas of all shapes and sizes, some of which may be difficult to target with other treatment options, and it can be combined with other treatments for optimal results. If you want to see long-term improvements in your skin, then Morpheus8 is your best option.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis, and the procedure provides an extremely uniform effect.

Morpheus8 delivers fractional resurfacing and subdermal treatments, penetrating tissue up to 5 millimetres to stimulate collagen production. It can be performed with three interchangeable fractional tips with different microneedle configurations:

• 12-pin Morpheus8 Prime for small narrow areas such as the periorbital zone and upper lip
• 24-pin Morpheus8 for larger facial areas such as the forehead, nasolabial folds, jawlines, and neck
• 24-pin Morpheus8 Resurfacing for the treatment of superficial conditions, including scarring

What Does Morpheus8 Do?

Morpheus8 microneedling treatments work to reduce signs of aging and cystic acne. Typically patients request Morpheus8 for one or more of the following:

• Jowling
• Nasal labial fold lines
• Bags under the eyes
• Frown lines
• Troublesome aging lines on the cheeks and neck
• Arms
• Knees
• Abdomen
• Cystic acne
• Acne scars

How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Morpheus8 is a relatively simple procedure that uses neither anesthesia nor intravenous (IV) sedation because patients typically feel no significant discomfort. During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the area of the face that the patient wishes to improve. Then a device delivers radio frequency energy through micro-pins under the skin’s surface. The tips and pins can be increased or decreased depending on the amount of radiofrequency needed. The total time for the procedure is typically about one and a half hours, depending on the size of the skin area treated.

Following the Morpheus8 procedure, patients may return to normal activities. There may be a little swelling and bruising, which can be controlled using ice packs. It is possible for the face to feel a bit tight, and this will disappear after a few days. Often the total recovery time for a Morpheus8 procedure is less than an hour.

You may find that during the healing phase, your skin looks worse, but that is simply your body performing the natural healing process to the sustained micro-injuries. After about a week, you will find that your skin looks like new!

How Many Morpheus8 Treatments are Needed?

Typically patients can expect to have between one and three Morpheus8 treatments. The exact regimen will depend on visible signs of aging, the patient’s goals and desired outcome, and the opinion of the Morpheus8 specialist. The definitive way to know how many treatments you will need is to book a consultation with a licensed esthetician at Beauty Med in Richmond Hill.

What are the Benefits of Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a safe and minimally invasive procedure with several benefits:

• Morpheus8 can be used on facial soft tissue and small hard-to-reach treatment areas where other treatments may not be effective.
• Morpheus8 is safe on skin types up to and including VI, with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Morpheus8 can result in smoother, even-textured skin, reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and reduce the size of visible pores.
• Morpheus8 can repair sun damage, which can be maintained by regularly using sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF.
• Morpheus8 can improve facial sagging.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects Associated With Morpheus8?

As with any procedure, there is a small chance of side effects from Morpheus8. They can include:

• Swelling
• Slight bruising
• Scabbing
• Peeling
• Slight oozing

In extremely rare cases, other side effects can include hyperpigmentation, bleeding, or infection. In general, patients find that the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Who Should Get Morpheus8?

Candidates for Morpheus8 are healthy, non-smoking patients with no other serious medical conditions. They are typically men and women between the ages of 30 and 55 with visible signs of aging that they would like to improve. They may also have active acne or acne scars that do not respond to oral and/or topical medications.

To determine if you are a candidate for a Morpheus8 treatment, book a consultation with a licensed esthetician at Beauty Med.

What Parts of the Body Can Benefit from Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 can be used on any area of the body that may benefit from sub-dermal renewal. Typically patients get a Morpheus8 treatment for the face and neck, but it can be used anywhere there are wrinkles, discoloration, or acne scarring. Morpheus8 is also often used on the abdomen to tighten loose skin with underlying fatty tissue.

Tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin can be achieved in as little as one Morpheus8 treatment. If you are interested in booking a procedure like Morpheus8 in Richmond Hill or want to learn more about how it can benefit you, contact Beauty Med today, and a licensed esthetician will be happy to answer your questions or book a free consultation.
