What’s the difference between fillers and Botox?

Botox

Botox, which temporarily banishes wrinkles, is one of the most popular procedures at SpaMedica. It’s a quick and non-invasive treatment that can dramatically improve the look of your facial lines and wrinkles. Botox injections can be applied to selected facial and neck muscles to improve moderate or severe lines. At SpaMedica, Botox treatments take 15-30 minutes to perform and results last from three to six months.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers and Botox may sound like they’re the same thing, but they’re not. Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane add volume to the face and hands. Botox, on the other hand, reduces the appearance of wrinkles by weakening the muscles that control frowning.

You can enhance and improve your looks in a few ways with dermal fillers. Are you bothered by sunken cheeks? Fillers can restore volume for a fuller and softer look. Do you have gaunt hands that look like they need to be plumped up? Again, fillers can solve the problem. The results will last anywhere from 1-2 years.

3 Skin Peels That Give You Stunning Skin

You can buy all the expensive creams and serums you want, but your skin won’t absorb these products enough if you’re not exfoliating your skin properly. Products like moisturizers and sunscreen won’t penetrate into your skin as well if you’re skipping out on exfoliation.

Exfoliation involves removing dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin (the epidermis). Removing these dead skin cells keeps your skin healthy, smooth and fresh. It doesn’t hurt that exfoliation also helps unclog pores and reduce acne breakouts. When you get rid of these rough, dead skin cells, your face almost instantly becomes a smoother canvas that holds makeup and products even better.

Skin peels are one way to exfoliate and revive your skin. Find out what different treatments are available that best suit your skin type and needs below.

Crystal Peel

A Crystal Peel is a microdermabrasion treatment that uses a stream of micro-crystals and vacuum suction to improve common skin concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, fine lines, brown spots and acne scars. A Crystal Peel is a powerful, yet gentle anti-ageing treatment that effectively exfoliates and renews your skin. Since dead skin cells are suctioned away, this stimulates new skin growth and leaves you with brighter and smoother skin after a few treatments. It’s the most performed skin peel treatment since it’s ideal for all skin types.

You can have a Crystal Peel every two weeks or once a month to get the best skin care results. It’s not only your face that you can treat—Crystal Peels also improve the skin on your neck, back and arms.

Skin peels like the Crystal Peel can help improve brown spots or sun damaged skin

SilkPeel

SilkPeels are one of the most advanced skin treatments available as they feature a brand new form of exfoliation called Dermalinfusion. SilkPeels are painless and easily tailored to your personal skin needs. SilkPeels are different from regular microdermabrasion treatments since they exfoliate the skin and have Dermalinfusion topical delivery technology.

During your treatment, the SilkPeel hand piece moves along the treatment area to exfoliate the skin's outer layers, suction away dead skin cells and penetrate the skin with a treatment solution. The deep layers of the skin are then infused with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. SilkPeels moisturize dry, flaky skin and clarify oily or acne-prone skin. They also brighten and balance discoloured skin.

SonoPeel

SonoPeels use gentle water pressure to deeply exfoliate and remove dead layers of the skin--this skin peel is the best choice for sensitive skin. SonoPeels can help improve common skin concerns like sun-damaged skin, enlarged pores and acne scars. This peel uses ultrasonic vibration that propels a mist of water to treat the layers of skin and debris. After 30 minutes, you'll leave with softer and rejuvenated skin. 

We’re offering SonoPeels and SilkPeels for 50% OFF for a limited time—that’s hundreds of dollars of savings. Book your appointment online now to get beautiful and healthy skin.

What Dermatologists Do To Give You Gorgeous Skin

Having healthy and clear skin is a priority for many people. Who wouldn't want to have smooth and blemish-free skin? It also doesn’t hurt that you don’t have to feel any anxiety or embarrassment when communicating face-to-face with others, either. While some very lucky people are born with flawless skin, the rest of us have to purchase endless products or seek treatment to get it. Sometimes over-the-counter products will do the job, but when they don't, a good step to take is seeing a dermatologist. 

Dermatology is a field that focuses on healing and treating skin conditions related to the skin, hair and nails. It’s not just anyone who can treat and figure out how to address these specific concerns. That’s what a dermatologist is for. So if your concern involves wrinkles, brown spots or acne, they’re the best people to see and talk to. Of course, these aren’t the only concerns they deal with—dermatologists can diagnose and treat over 3,000 diseases.

Below is just a couple of the most common skin concerns dermatologists address on a daily basis.

Acne

Acne is just one of those things that always bother each and every one of us. Nobody likes it and nobody wants it. Unfortunately, many of us deal with it during puberty or even adulthood. An article by Best Health Magazine says that more than 70% of adults between ages 20-50 experience acne breakouts.

Sometimes acne can be controlled or treated with products you can buy over the counter. But when this doesn’t clear breakouts, you should consider laser acne treatments to help clear your skin. SpaMedica combines medical treatment, laser and topical solutions to treat acute acne.

Acne treatments start with a SonoPeel, an ultrasonic microdermabrasion treatment. The ultrasound waves liquefy and break up sebaceous plugs that block the exit of sebum from the hair follicle glands in your skin.

Your treatment provider then applies a mild topical chemical called keratolytic. It helps to remove your skin’s outer layer. This allows medical acne skin care products to penetrate your skin better, which in turn reduces inflammation and increase your blood flow to fight against acne bacteria. This is just the beginning of acne treatments—there are more steps involved to clear your skin. Four to six appointments gives you anywhere between 75-95% reduction of acne breakouts.

Brown Spots

Brown spots (also known as age spots) show up on exposed skin areas such as your face, neck, back and hands. Main causes are usually due to age, genetics or too much sun exposure. Brown spots are brown (that was a no-brainer), tan or black in colour and flat. Brown spots are typically seen in people over 50, but that doesn’t mean younger people aren’t getting them. Anyone who spends a lot of time out in the sun without any sunscreen will increase their chances of developing brown spots.

Luckily, brown spots can be treated fairly easily. By combining different laser systems, intense pulsed light and radiofrequency devices, your brown spots fade after one or two laser treatments. The results gradually improve with pulsed light. The treatment itself only takes a few minutes and you can go back to work or regular activities right after.
