If you want to eliminate unwanted fat on your body, current surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures available today target fat cells only in the subcutaneous layer.

What is the subcutaneous layer?

The subcutaneous layer lies underneath the two top layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis). Mainly comprised of adipose tissue and collagen fibre. Also known as fat, adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer acts to insulate the body.

Subcutaneous fat removal can be performed surgically by liposuction and a tummy tuck. Nonsurgical fat removal can be performed by UltraShape™.

Lipoatrophy is a medical condition that refers to the loss of localized fat tissue in the subcutaneous layer. It most commonly occurs on the face, particularly in the cheeks, but can also occur on the arms, legs and buttocks.

Lipoatrophy is related to some types of medication. Some people may also experience it as they age.

If you suffer from lipoatrophy, injectable fillers may help improve facial contours that have been ravaged by the condition. Please call us at 416-221-5554 for more information.

It may be hard to believe for some of us, but in some parts of the world, having a lot of hair down there is considered a good thing. While women in the West are more likely to minimize or totally remove all traces of their pubic hair by shaving or laser hair removal for aesthetic reasons, in Korea it’s a big no-no.

Lush hair growth is considered to be a traditional sign of fertility, so much so that some who lack it are undergoing a cosmetic surgical procedure that probably wouldn’t be so popular in Canada: pubic hair transplants.

Pubic hair transplants are common for women who suffer from loss of or less than normal amount of hair due to genetics or other external factor. It is technically known as pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis.

The cosmetic surgery industry is growing every year, and it’s huge across the pond as well.

In the UK, market analysts predict that Britain will spend about £1bn on cosmetic surgery this year. That’s over a whopping 2bn in humble Canadian dollars.

Last year, the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the country were rhytidectomy (facelift surgery) and breast augmentation.

One of makeup’s worst enemies is the heat. So with summer here, make sure to keep your cosmetic bag out of the direct sun and avoid leaving it in the car. Even if your lipstick hasn’t become a big gooey glob, makeup exposed to high temperatures frequently can spoil their composition and even contribute to icky bacteria growth. That’s why it’s important that you keep your makeup at room temperature or cooler.

Pregnancy can take a toll on a woman’s body. Massive weight gain can cause the skin to stretch, so fast that stretchmarks result. This is particularly true in the areas of the abdomen and breasts.

Toronto Cosmetic Clinic does offer a solution to stretch marks, however, it is best to undergo treatment after childbirth. In the meantime, you can try delaying the appearance of stretch marks by massaging the breasts and abdomen daily with a good body lotion. This helps to lubricate the skin and keep the skin supple. While it may not totally stop stretch marks from appearing, it can help to minimize them.
