Droopy Earlobes

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Nobody thinks about their ears, and especially their earlobes - until there’s a problem with them. Let’s face it. Most of us don’t bother taking care of our ears. We wear heavy earrings and don’t put sunscreen on them even though they’re constantly exposed to the sun. So, it should come as no surprise when our earlobes start to droop with age. There’s no need to fret, though. Otoplasty can fix those droopy earlobes in a simple outpatient procedure performed at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic’s state-of-the-art surgical centre.

Juvederm Ultra vs Juvederm Ultra Plus

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

When it comes to injectable fillers, Juvederm is considered one of the most effective products on the market. It is extremely popular, requiring no prior skin test.

There are two types of Juvederm products: Ultra and Ultra Plus. Both have been designed for wrinkles, creases and folds, as well as to augment the lips. However, their difference lies in their strength. According to Allergan, the manufacturer, Juvederm Ultra achieves results that may last from 9 months to a year, while Ultra Plus can achieve results that last up to a year.

Consultation with an injectable fillers specialist will determine which product ideal for your situation.

Just For You

Mother’s Day is May 11. What better way to treat your mother on her special day (or yourself!) than with a fantastic Mommy Makeover!

Though it may be one of the most significant times in a woman’s life, pregnancy and childbirth do take their toll on the female body. The skin is stretched to the point that, after birth, it often cannot bounce back to its original tautness. As a result, the breasts may sag and the skin as well as the muscles in the abdomen become lax. Unfortunately, even with regular exercise and toning, these areas won’t assume their original prepregnancy contour. A Mommy Makeover targets these areas with a tummy tuck and breast lift and/or breast augmentation. Stretch marks can also be removed with Laser Skin Tightening.

For more information about getting a Mommy Makeover, call Toronto Cosmetic Clinic at 416-221-5554.

Spring is the season to put your best face forward. If you’ve suffered from a dull complexion because of the harsh winter weather, it’s time to freshen up.

Microdermabrasion at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic removes the dirt, grime and dead skin cells that can make your complexion look dull. Each session targeting the face takes about 30 minutes, and you can go straight back to work or resume normal activities afterwards. Microdermabrasion is a great “lunchtime” procedure that achieves fabulous results!

Skin Tags

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Skin tags are small pieces of hanging skin that generally appear on the eyelids, neck, shoulders and armpits. They may also appear in the groin area. Ranging in colour from dark brown to the same shade as the rest of your skin, they may result from hormonal changes or exist due to genetics.

They are not considered harmful, but may become troublesome if they are large. Large skin tags, the size of a grape, can get caught in clothing or zippers. Skin tags can also be viewed as unattractive blemishes.

Skin tags can be effectively removed by The StarLux 500 laser. Laser removal of skin tags currently results in the least amount of scarring when compared to other forms of skin tag removal techniques.
