Natural Skin Moisturizer

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Around this time of year, our skin has a tough time protecting itself from the harsh elements of winter. Dryness, wind and freezing temperatures rob the skin of its natural protective shield, sebum.
Sebum is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It is a combination of fat and debris…sounds gross, doesn’t it? But this stuff plays a vital role in protecting our skin and hair against damage caused by the environment. Plus, it keeps the skin moist and supple.

But for those of us that don’t have enough of these natural oils, a good moisturizer for the colder months is necessary to keep your skin from drying out, chapping and cracking. Some of us may even need two types of moisturizers: one for the winter and one for the summer. Toronto Cosmetic Clinic has an excellent line of moisturizers for all skin types and seasons.

For the person that has it all

Toronto Cosmetic Clinic offers gift certificates in the denomination of your choice to go towards the purchase of any of our many products or services.

That way, instead of racking your brain and spending hours at the crowded mall trying to find something that you know they won’t like anyway, why not save yourself the trouble and get a present they can actually use?

Christmas will be here soon. Drop by the clinic before it’s too late!

Special Price for Breast Augmentation

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

We are currently offering a discount on cohesive gel implants for breast augmentation!

Previously priced higher, our cohesive gel implants are now priced at the same rate as our saline implants.

With a much more natural feel, cohesive gel implants generally contribute to a more attractive result because they come in shapes that mimic the natural contour of the breast. They are also incredibly durable and if ruptured, the silicone filling does not leak like older types of silicone implants. Rather, the filling of cohesive gel implants stays intact. If you’d like to find out more about cohesive gel implants, visit our Gel Filled Breast Implants page.

Breast augmentation starts from $6000. Want to get a specific price? Just contact us to book your complimentary consultation with our patient consultant!

Joanne asks…

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

During my second pregnancy, my rectus abdominus split and although I have very little stretched skin “left over”, my belly button has sunken. Can a tummy tuck be done to repair just the split muscle?

Because tummy tucks tighten abdominal muscles, your problem may be corrected by the procedure. Usually, patients also choose to remove excess flaccid skin in the area, but it isn’t necessary if you’d like to just target the muscles. Repositioning the belly button can also be performed.

However, it is recommended that you visit our patient consultant so that they can make sure a tummy tuck is appropriate for you. Please call us to book your free consultation.

Trying to slink into that tight little black dress without revealing the orange peel skin on the back of your thighs? Visit our clinic for some Endermologie treatments to help your body get rid of cellulite.

Say goodbye to those thin, shapeless lips with the injectable filler Juvederm and say hello to a full luscious pout.

Just the injection

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

We often receive questions from clients who’d like to bring in their own Botox or Juvederm to the clinic, where the injection would be performed by our injectable fillers specialist.

Unfortunately, any substance that is injected at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic must be provided by us. There are many knockoffs and counterfeit products out there, but we only use the real stuff. It’s a way to protect your health and safety because we can guarantee our products were purchased straight from the manufacturer or a certified supplier, have not expired, and were stored and handled properly according to the manufacturer’s explicit directions.
