Facial Peels (PCA Skin)
Chemical peeling is one of the
most effective ways to combat skin aging. Chemical peels are one
of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures in North America.
Chemical solutions may be applied
to the skin to remove outer layers of aged, discoloured skin. Depending
on the specific type and concentration of the chemical used, the
skin exfoliates or peels over a period of days, leaving behind a
new refreshed skin that is smoother, has fewer wrinkles and is more
even in colour. Another benefit is a reduction of sebum overproduction
and acne breakouts.
Facial peels are often used to
treat wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, skin discolouration, age
spots, mild acne scars and dull skin. They may range from mild peels
(for fine lines and wrinkles) to medium-depth peels (for moderate
skin damage such as age spots, freckles and sun damage). A series
of treatments every three to four weeks is usually recommended.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a very popular,
safe and non-invasive procedure done to improve skin texture and
tone. It combines the use of a gentle suction and a diamond tipped
wand to exfoliate and remove the dead outer layer of skin. The result
is a cleaner, softer and smoother complexion. Treatments are quick
and painless, and best of all, there is no down time!
The skin is the largest organ
of our body. It protects us from the environment, and regulates
our body temperature. Your skin is made up of millions of cells.
Each day, thousands of these cells die, fall off, and are replaced
by cells beneath them. As we age, this process begins to slow down,
and in turn age spots, fine lines and uneven skin texture begin
to appear. Acne occurs when dead skin cells block the pore through
which a hair emerges from the skin. The oil that would normally
travel to the surface of the skin gets stuck and solidifies. Microdermabrasion
can help to treat these conditions in a safe and effective way without
the use of harsh chemicals and antibiotics.
Microdermabrasion can help to
improve:
- Fine lines
- Age spots
- Mild acne
- Blackheads/whiteheads
- Oily/dull skin
- Uneven skin texture
Photofacial
As we age we begin to notice changes
in our complexion. These changes usually include, fine lines, uneven
pigmentation (usually brown or red) and more dullness of our skin.
Photorejuvenation, also know as
a photofacial, can be used to treat;
- age spots
- sun damage,
- enlarged pores,
- spider veins,
- broken capillaries,
- rosacea
Our Alma Harmony laser with AFT
(Advanced Fluorescence Technology) uses intense pulsed light to
treat both the red and brown pigments in the skin and stimulates
the creation of new collagen. The result is a more even, radiant
complexion.
A treatment every 3 weeks is recommended.
Usually 3-5 sessions are required to achieve desired results, though
improvement will be noticed with each treatment. These treatments
are also effective on the neck, chest and the hands.
It takes about 20 minutes to scan
the entire face with one pass of the laser. Sometimes multiple passes
are required taking up to 1 hour to complete.
Dr. Billinkoff will recommend
a maintenance program to preserve the restored youthfulness of your
skin.
Pixel Skin Resurfacing
The Pixel erbium/yag laser is
a newer, less invasive method than traditional skin resurfacing.
Designed to treat aged and photo-damaged skin, the Pixel Laser improves
the quality and texture of the skin while it stimulates new collagen
growth.
After a series of treatments patients
can expect to see;
- Clearing of sun-damaged skin
- Smoothing of fine lines and
wrinkles
- Reduction of pore size
- Reduced acne scarring
- Blending of uneven pigmentation
Skin resurfacing is a gradual
process that happens over several treatments. It works by creating
thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin. This stimulates
new collagen to appear, which tightens skin and reduces scarring.
Where traditional laser skin resurfacing removes entire layers of
skin, each Pixel treatment only affects about 20% of the skin surface.
This results in improved comfort and reduced recovery time, while
still providing a more vibrant appearance. The skin is restored
to its fresh, healthy state looking brighter with fewer wrinkles
and scars, smaller pores and improved complexion.
