Questions about laser tattoo removal continue until the end of this week.

Will I need anesthesia for the laser tattoo removal procedure?

While exposure to the MedLite C6® during the procedure does induce a certain level of discomfort, you may or may not require anesthesia, depending on the type of tattoo and the area in which it is located. If any anesthesia is required, it is in cream form for topical application.

I’ve got a tattoo that my friend did for me at home. Can laser tattoo removal get rid of it?

Of course! The MedLite® C6 has been designed to remove just about any tattoo, whether it was done by a pro or amateur. In fact, laser tattoo removal at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can even remove surgical tattoos. The dye and depth of the tattoo will determine how many sessions are needed to get rid of it.

This week, we’ll be answering your questions about laser tattoo removal.

So what’s so special about laser tattoo removal at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, anyway?”

Well, in the past, unwanted tattoos could only be removed by other types of lasers or surgically, with techniques such as dermabrasion. In both cases, the tattoo was removed, but skin was also damaged in the process. So much so that nasty scars formed afterwards.

At TCC, laser tattoo removal with the MedLite® C6 laser does not leave such scarring. It was designed to leave the skin unharmed, preventing the formation of nasty scars.

During recovery, the skin where the unwanted tattoo may experience some pinpoint bleeding and a scab may form. However, these symptoms are considered temporary.

Kelly Rowland, one of the divas from Destiny’s Child, has admitted to getting breast implants.

The naturally svelte singer has gone from an A-cup to just a B-cup, and has said that she is not ashamed of undergoing breast augmentation. Kelly Rowland is 27 years old.

She reveals all in People Magazine.

At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, female clients in their thirties commonly seek cosmetic surgical procedures that contour the body. While they may follow a strict (or not so strict) exercise regimen and sensible diet, losing weight and maintaining a desirable body contour tend to be more difficult in this decade. On top of that, many women may have had a kid or two by this time. Childbearing can cause abdomen skin and breast ptosis (droopiness) amongst other things. As a result, liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast lifts are some of the more common cosmetic surgical procedures women in their thirties undergo at TCC, all to rejuvenate their body contour and restore a more youthful appearance.

Though it is not common, capsular contracture is a complication that can occur from breast augmentation. It is a result of the formation of thick and hard scar tissue around the breast implant. Although scar tissue does form around any foreign object in the body in the case of capsular contracture, this scar tissue is so hard and thick that it makes the implant appear like a ball under the skin which feels unnaturally hard. In some cases, this scar tissue continues to harden around the implant so much so that pain results.

Unfortunately, it is unknown why capsular contracture occurs. Very few women get it, and most women don’t.

It is known, however, that some ways to reduce the chances of getting capsular contracture include submuscular placement and choosing an implant with a textured surface.

A textured surface may prevent capsular contracture because scar fibres do not form in a naturally aligned manner, thereby preventing that hardened pocket.
