The 1998 study by Dr. R. G. Glogau that was published in Dermatologic Surgery, Botulinum A neurotoxin for axillary hyperhidrosis. No sweat Botox, monitored the effects of BOTOX® treatment on eight women and four men suffering from hyperhidrosis. His findings noted excellent results, recording that “all twelve candidates reported that most of their sweating had disappeared within hours after the BOTOX® had been injected”.Stop Suffering from Hyperhidrosis with BOTOX®Hyperhidrosis (or excessive sweating) impacts the lives of one out of every hundred people. This condition can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. For many suffers, regular, nearly pain-free BOTOX® injections provide a safe […]
One of the most important things to consider when planning your cosmetic, dermal filler injectable treatment in Toronto is to research and find a well-trained, highly experienced injector. Dermal fillers are available in a variety of types which are suited for different purposes and different areas of the face. Using these products with artistry and skill to sculpt and recontour your features takes talent and experience. The products do not achieve this on their own.
As well, proper medical training and cosmetic injectable training is key to avoiding dangerous adverse effects of injections done poorly. Many clinics and practitioners are offering […]
What is Hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is a soluble protein enzyme that is typically used to break down the hyaluronic acid found in dermal filler injection treatments like Juvéderm® and Restylane. The solution works by breaking up — and helping the body to reabsorb — the filler introduced to the body during the hyaluronic acid injection. It accomplishes this by increasing tissue permeability, splitting the molecular bonds holding the hyaluronic acid together and promoting the natural cellular processes responsible for its diffusion.
Did you know?
Its ability to quickly disperse chemical agents makes hyaluronidase ideal for applying anaesthesia as well. For this reason it may […]
When compared to traditional hypodermic needles, blunt-tip microcannulae have been shown to significantly minimize patient bruising, reduce procedural pain during injectable fillers and help experienced medical injectors to conduct treatments with a greater level of flexibility.What are blunt-tip Microcannulae?The hypodermic needles traditionally used in injectable filler treatments are associated with higher rates of bruising, tissue damage, pain, multiple puncture wounds, vessel laceration and other undesirable consequences. The development of blunt-tip microcannulae, with a very small diameter, serves to alleviate these problems through an advanced design that improves on hypodermic needles while still effectively delivering fillers to a patient’s tissues.
Traditional hypodermics […]
Toronto cosmetic clients want to know, how old should you be before beginning treatment with dermal fillers? If you have begun to see creases, wrinkles or fine lines on your face, or if your lips are thinner and cheeks flatter than they used to be, then you are old enough to begin treatment with Dermal fillers. We have good reason to believe that regular treatment with dermal fillers, before lines become deep and set, may prevent them from deepening for longer. Recent scientific studies have shown that use of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler products, like Restylane and Juvederm, stimulate […]
For years, the primary concern in aesthetic medicine was wrinkles and creases. These were the most obvious signs of the aging process and treatments were focused solely on their removal. However, it was quickly discovered that removing wrinkles and creases alone were insufficient in rejuvenating a patient’s appearance. Cosmetic anti-aging treatments that are better in achieving a revitalization and enhancement of your aging face focus on volume loss as well.The Aging Face Is Marked By Volume LossA 2008 study published the following year in the medical journal, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, found that loss of various tissues and drooping (ptosis) of […]
Winter weather can be amazing or the bane of existence, depending on who you ask, but we can all agree that the winter is one of the harshest times of year for your skin. You know it ’tis the season when dry, cracked skin begins to appear everywhere! Winter weather is a dry, arid wasteland, and those who work hard to take care of their skin suffer the most. We all need a few handy tricks to help our skin survive the cold weather, so here are a few you can use to get you started.
Don’t Overdo the Heat
During winter, […]
It wasn’t long ago that lip fillers were not commonly done and the average cosmetic consumer wasn’t aware of the option to accent and volumize their lips in this way. Well-known celebrities and models have noticeably increased the size of their lips in recent years and even though some stars like Angelina Jolie may have been born with their luscious lips – they’ve sparked a strong public demand for products that can make the rest of us look like them.
Even though there may be a famous set of lips that you wish to have, it is important to keep your […]
When we think about non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face and injectable treatments, in particular, it may not be clear what the difference is between fillers and Botox, neuromodulator or Hyaluronic acid. Botox and dermal fillers are different and they accomplish different things but they work very well together.
Botulinum toxin is a natural, purified protein, also referred to as a neuromodulator, and is used to temporarily weaken specific facial muscles which cause lines and wrinkles. Other brands of neuromodulators are Xeomin and Dysport. These powerful medications aren’t new and are among the most researched and trialed medications on the market. […]
Researchers have found that there are two types of aging: intrinsic (internal) aging and extrinsic (external) aging.INTRINSIC AGING AND YOUR SKINThe rate at which intrinsic aging is determined primarily by your genes. This natural aging process normally starts in your 20s. The processes within skin that change with intrinsic aging include a slowing of collagen and elastin production, decreased cellular regeneration, loss of underlying fat and the slowing of exfoliation (shedding of the uppermost layer of the skin, which is generally comprised of dirt, debris and dead skin cells).
The signs of intrinsic aging are the following: hair loss and graying […]
