Microdermabrasion
As we age, our skin's ability to shed thousands of old, dead skin cells daily and replenish itself with new ones diminishes. This natural deterioration of the regenerative process often results in more conspicuous signs of aging. The skin can develop dark blotches, look dull, become more susceptible to sun damage, and show wrinkles. However, patients coming to our Toronto, Ontario practice can choose to undergo microdermabrasion treatments, which can effectively reduce the prominence of these signs of age. In addition, microdermabrasion can be used to improve rough skin, age spots, and uneven skin pigmentation, as well as blackheads, scars, and even stretch marks. Contact our practice to find out whether microdermabrasion can help your unique skin needs.
The Microdermabrasion Procedure
During the microdermabrasion treatment, a fine jet of sand-like crystals is sprayed on the treatment area, which can include the face, neck, and hands. These crystals gently remove the old, dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin and are then sucked away by a finely controlled vacuum. In addition to giving patients smoother, more luminous skin, the microdermabrasion treatment also stimulates the skin's production of collagen, which helps maintain skin elasticity.
Microdermabrasion is safe, gentle, and non-invasive. Patients notice a near-immediate difference in the smoothness, softness, and vibrancy of their skin, and most are able to return to normal activity with little to no downtime. The treatment can be used on patients with skin of any type, tone, and texture. However, the length and number of microdermabrasion sessions will depend on these conditions. In general, we recommend that most patients undergo the treatment every one or two weeks for six to eight sessions.
Photo Facial
At our Toronto, Ontario practice, photo facial treatment is used to treat a number of blemishes and imperfections on the skin. Unlike microdermabrasion treatment, which uses an application of crystals, photo facial treatment uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve the skin's appearance. Photo facial treatments can be especially beneficial for patients looking to improve rosacea, sun damage, age spots, large pores, fine lines, and facial veins.
The Photo Facial Procedure
For the photo facial session, the treatment area is exposed to an intense light that delivers a series of gentle pulses. The light penetrates the skin without damaging it and is absorbed by pigmentation or abnormally dilated vessels. Heat from the light damages the vessels or pigmentation enough for the body to begin its natural healing process. Most patients are encouraged to undergo three to five separate photo facial treatment sessions for ideal results. If necessary, patients can schedule once-a-year follow-up treatments as well.
Skin Peels
Our Toronto, Ontario practice offers customized chemical skin peels with the use of pharmaceutical-grade glotherapeutics products. Glotherapeutics is a revolutionary breakthrough in chemical exfoliation treatments. Its unique and advanced formations provide potent concentrations with high levels of active ingredients to clinically transform the skin and offer the ultimate in skin rejuvenation. Glotherapeutics exfoliation peels provides the ability to customize treatments for each individual client to achieve subtle, gradual or astonishing transformations. Glotherapeutics will help properly exfoliate the skin while repairing, rebuilding and renewing cells to assist during the healing and regeneration process. Glotherapeutics exfoliation peels can help patients improve a number of facial aesthetic imperfections, including fine lines, rough skin texture, discoloration, and redness, as well as acne and blemishes leaving patients with healthy, firm skin.
Each glotherapeutic chemical exfoliation treatment is designed with a combination of safe, gentle ingredients that work together and are as enjoyable as they are effective. Infusions of pomegranate, cranberry, citrus, green tea and calendula extracts stimulate your senses while pharmaceutical grade ingredients treat your skin’s imperfections. Even after just one treatment, the facial peel can expose the smoother, more luminous layer of skin hiding just below the surface. When these facial peels are combined with the daily use of VivierSkin™ products, patients can begin to improve their skin at a cellular level, allowing for ongoing skin health.

Danny Fernandes gets LASIK at YELC
After I had problems reading the teleprompter at the 2010 Juno awards, I knew I had to do something. YELC changed my life! I can see everything now, from street signs to the smiles on my fans faces and my only regret is that I waited so long to get the corrective surgery. I trusted their staff and doctors completely– they were caring, considerate and took great care of me! Thank you!
