One of the most frequently-expressed concerns regarding any treatment with injection, such as Botox and dermal fillers, is the discomfort and pain associated with it. Many of us find injections to be an unpleasant experience, even if it is far less uncomfortable than other cosmetic treatments.

Fortunately, the popular dermal filler Juvederm® understands this. Usually, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the area before the procedure, and patients must wait for a few minutes to let it kick in. However, Juvéderm® features a local anaesthetic, lidocaine, to ease the discomfort associated with the injection, numbing the area injected during and after treatment. The enhanced product was approved by the FDA  this year on February 1, and from Health Canada earlier.

Juvéderm® is used to smooth out wrinkles and lines as well as reshape contours and boost volume in the lips.

DLV® Clitoral hood reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that, you guessed it, reduces the size of the clitoral hood: the little piece of skin covering the clitoris, also known as the prepuce. Why would anyone want that, you ask?

Well, underneath the prepuce hides the clitoris, considered to be an essential part of the female genital area. For many women, the clitoris is extremely important for sexual activity. With a concentration of nerve endings, it is sensitive to touch and dominates as the pleasure centre for most women. Scientists believe that the sole role of the clitoris is sexual.

So, keeping that in mind, when a woman has a large clitoral hood, it can obstruct access to the clitoris. This makes it more difficult to stimulate the area, and consequently, achieve sexual gratification. By reducing the size of the clitoral hood or prepuce through surgery, it can make the clitoris more accessible. The thousands of women who have undergone the procedure worldwide would agree that it’s a good thing.

Aesthetic medical companies know that injectable fillers provide a great way for individuals to smooth out lines and reshape contours without undergoing surgery. In a procedure that takes up to 1 hour (depending on the number of areas treated), wrinkles disappear, folds fill out and the shape of facial features can transform subtly or dramatically with little to no downtime and far fewer risks associated with surgical treatments. That’s why Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is proud to offer another great dermal filler product, Perlane®.

Perlane® is considered the feistier sister of Restylane®, another hyaluronic acid based filler manufactured by Q-Med. This dermal filler is designed to fill out those deeper folds that Restylane® affectively cannot, as well as redefine facial contours and features, whether it be for the lips, chin or cheeks.

If you want to have more luscious lips, a stronger chin, fuller cheeks or get rid of those deep folds running across your forehead or around your mouth, then call TCC at 416-221-5554 to book your free consultation with our patient consultant. Pricing is $550.00 for a full syringe and half is $350.00.

Here’s a question we sometimes get from clients interested in Botox.

Why do repeated Botox injections achieve longer lasting results?

Botox targets the muscle that has created the wrinkle in the overlying skin. An injection prevents the muscle from moving, and every time you get another injection, the muscle remains virtually immobile. Gradually, the targeted muscle atrophies, weakening to the point that it can no longer contract as much as it could before the treatments started. That’s why repeated Botox injections can achieve longer lasting results. While the first treatment you have usually achieves results that last up to 18 months, subsequent treatments achieve results that can last longer.

If you stop getting Botox, after a while the effects of treatment wear off, and the muscle will be able to contract again.

Toned and taut – you wish your upper arms were like that. But in reality, age has made your arms flabby and one of the first places fat settles. The solution? You’ve got two:

1) Arm lift. Perfect for flab that’s from poorskin elasticity, an arm lift removes sagginess by getting rid of excess tissue, whether it’s skin and/or fat.

2) Liposuction. Fat upper arms can slim down with liposuction, which will remove excess subcutaneous fat deposits to recontour the area. While laser assisted liposuction, like Smartlipo, can tighten the skin a bit, serious sagging is better addressed with an arm lift. In fact, you can get lipo and an arm lift at the same time.

Not ready for cosmetic surgery? Target your upper arm muscles by doing lots of reps on lighter weight, rather than heavier weight and lower reps. This will help tone rather than bulk up. You can also fill your closet with long and 3/4 length sleeve tops. Choose looser sleeves to avoid showing off those bulges.
