Minimal downtime with dramatic results – fractionated laser skin resurfacing is the latest technology in laser skin rejuvenation.

Fractional non-ablative laser energy has the ability to rejuvenate the skin, treating acne scars, hyperpigmentation (melasma), and stretch marks. Each precise beam or column of light penetrates the skin deeply and coagulates tissue without ablating the epidermis, leaving surrounding tissues untouched and undamaged. The healing process that follows results in the creation of healthy tissue that is not affected by the undesirable blemish. Redness and swelling are minimized, allowing for faster healing than with other non-fractional lasers. The technology is also designed for patients to feel little or no pain.

And what are you left with following treatment? Skin that’s smoother, more even toned, tighter and healthier looking.

Fractional non-ablative laser skin resurfacing is available now at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. We offer the “gold standard” of devices, the StarLux System from Palomar®, fitted with the Lux1540™ handpiece. Book your appointment today by calling 416-221-5554!

Dr Jean Carruthers is the Canadian physician who is credited for discovering the wrinkle-fighting properties of Botox®. Dr Carruthers, an ophthalmologist, was treating a female dystonia patient with botulinum toxin type A. (It wasn’t called Botox® at the time. Manufactured by Oculinum Inc., the product was called Oculinum until Allergan bought the company in 1991 and renamed it Botox®.)

The husband of the patient was a dermatologist, and noticed that the creases on his wife’s forehead smoothed out following treatment. He remarked that such a result was quite difficult to achieve with collagen and autologous fat, which were the only dermal fillers available on the market at that time.

Learning this, Dr Carruthers spoke with her husband, a cosmetic dermatologist, and decided to conduct a study using the form of botulinum toxin type A she was using. Although the results of her research did in fact prove that Oculinum could successfully treat wrinkles, she and her husband faced criticism from their colleagues and peers, who thought that using a toxin was dangerous. They continued to conduct research and promote their findings, and their persistence, obviously, has paid off.

Today, Dr Carruthers is still a practicing physician but has devoted herself to aesthetic medicine. At 61, she remains the leading authority on Botox®.

Look refreshed and years younger – without surgery!

Soft Lift™ is a nonsurgical facelift that revitalizes and recontours the face using only the injectables BOTOX® Cosmetic and Juvéderm®. By administering both products, you’ll be able to treat both dynamic and static wrinkles as well as add fullness where you most need it.  Designed to achieve natural looking results that improve on your own features, Soft Lift™ may be the solution for anybody who doesn’t want to undergo invasive surgery to have a more youthful appearance.

Actress Christina Hendricks of Mad Men has been officially endorsed by the British government – for her figure.

Hendricks, who plays secretary Joan Harris, has received the stamp of approval by the UK government for having a body that women should view as ideal. Women should perceive Hendricks’ body as a role model, rather than the bodies of other celebrities who are generally underweight with unrealistic proportions. She’s a UK size 14, which is about a 12 here (or medium), and measures about 36-32-36, with a generous bust size. Talk about curves in all the right places!

However, some are worried that such an endorsement may be fraught with problems, since even those measurements can be difficult to obtain and/or maintain. But they do agree that it is a more realistic size than that of most models and celebrities, who succeed in an industry that perpetuates the idea that the thinner you are, the more beautiful.
