The Many Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation

By

Worried that you’ll have to live with age spots, wrinkles and sun-damaged skin for the rest of your life? Well, you don’t need to be. Today’s skin rejuvenation therapies are head and shoulders above anything that’s come before and can go a long way toward returning the vibrant, healthy glow your face enjoyed when you were younger. Whether you’re battling age, heredity or the accumulated effects of bad habits our highly trained clinicians are here to help you roll back the years.

What Skin Rejuvenation From Leeza’s Laser Can Do for You

Skin rejuvenation therapy represents the closest mankind has yet come to harnessing the proverbial fountain of youth. Advances in technology and methodology mean it can now be used to address a plethora of skin-related conditions such as:

  • Wrinkles – Adopting healthy habits even later in life can help stave off the development of future wrinkles while significant wrinkle reduction can be achieved on the ones you currently have – including deep, static wrinkles not caused or affected by facial expressions – during rejuvenation therapy.
  • Freckles – Both long-standing freckles and those created by exposure to the sun can be broken up during rejuvenation therapy by the targeted application of laser light. They will later drop off as a natural part of the exfoliation process or be absorbed back into the body.
  • Scars – Whether caused by injury or acne our rejuvenation therapy can often completely remove scar tissue while leaving surrounding areas untouched and restoring the original smooth surface to your skin. Excellent results are routinely achieved without you having to endure any significant downtime.
  • Age spots – Sun and age spot removal is a mainstay of skin rejuvenation: in just a few short, painless sessions years of accumulated spotting and discoloration can be reduced to barely noticeable levels.
  • Spider Angiomas – Those tiny blood vessels radiating like red lines at the surface of the skin are called spider angiomas. These unattractive surface phenomenon are broken down during treatment and later reabsorbed by the body leaving an area of fresh, healthy looking skin in their wake.
  • Cellulite – Contrary to popular belief not all cellulite occurs in the lower body. It’s actually fairly common in the lower face and neck areas as well. Skin rejuvenation therapy can address cellulite in the neck and along the jaw line, breaking it up and restoring your natural profile.

No two people are exactly alike and so, as with any form of treatment, the number and duration of your rejuvenation sessions will depend largely on the particulars of your case. That said, most of our clients report seeing marked improvement in the quality and appearance of their skin after only a few treatments.

Skin rejuvenation therapy can return years of once lost vigour and beauty to your face or any other part of the body you choose. This high tech, low impact therapy, developed through decades of research and coupled with advances in technology has opened new cosmetic vistas to anyone interested in retaining a healthy, youthful appearance.

Are There Any Side Effects to Laser Acne Scar Removal?

By

For many people acne scars are a source of personal anxiety and a daily assault on their self esteem. For years it was believed nothing could be done to help return the face of the acne sufferer to its original, pre-acne condition. Today, thankfully, those afflicted with acne scars can take advantage of leading-edge laser treatments like our laser acne scar removal to reduce and even remove unwanted acne scarring. It’s an effective therapy that has become increasing in popular in Toronto, though many people still have understandable concerns about possible side effects.

Facts About Laser Acne Scar Removal

Laser acne scar removal has a remarkable track record of success but, as with any medical procedure, there is the possibility of side effects. Fortunately most of these are temporary and usually very mild in nature. Here are some of the most common:

  • Redness and Minor Swelling – The treated area is fairly likely to exhibit minor redness and/or swelling in the aftermath of treatment. This is your body’s normal defensive reaction and should subside completely within a few days. If you find the swelling a bit uncomfortable try applying cold packs to the affected area.
  • Solar Sensitivity – You may find the treated area is sensitive to sunlight for a period of time after treatment. We recommend you apply sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF if you plan to spend time outdoors until the sensitivity diminishes (and it will).
  • Discoloration – It may take some time for the skin in the treated area to return to its natural colour after you have completed your treatments. Give it time. As your skin adjusts to the new reality it will gradually heal and the natural pigment should return.

Perhaps the best way to avoid complications is to make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure before starting treatment. You may want to delay or forego this type of treatment if you:

  • Suffer from an immune system disorder,
  • Suffer from a connective tissue disorder,
  • Suffer from cold sores or herpes,
  • Are currently suffering from an acne outbreak.

The fact is, side effects from laser acne scar removal are almost always mild and short lived. Nonetheless it’s important to remember that this is a delicate procedure and should only be undertaken by qualified, reputable staff using top-of-the-line equipment that is professionally maintained. Safety and sanitation should also be top concerns.

Almost invariably when people have reported more serious side effects like infections it is the result of being treated by unqualified practitioners whose techniques are sloppy and whose equipment and clinical environment is not subjected to proper sanitation protocols. Don’t ever trust your face to an amateur. It’s just not worth the risk. At Leeza’s all of our technicians are experienced and fully certified, meaning that whether you seek removal of acne scars, skin rejuvenation or wrinkle reduction, you’ll never have to worry about the quality of the work they do or your own health and safety.

How Sun and Age Spot Removal Actually Works

By

Both sun spots and age sports are blemishes caused by the normal wear and tear that we all experience. They are both very noticeable, and they will both last forever if action is not taken. Luckily, sun and age spots can both be removed, or at least minimized, using photo rejuvenation.

The Science of Sun and Age Spot Removal

At first glance, photo rejuvenation may seem a bit daunting because of the overly scientific sound of the phrase itself, but the science behind to procedure isn’t actually that complicated. Below are a few scientific facts about the process:

  • The method was originally developed by NASA to help treat astronauts in space, where wounds normally heal slower than on earth.
  • Unlike other light-based skin treatment methods, which use lasers, sun and age spot removal utilizes focused LED lights. This is because lasers can damage cells, whereas LED lights have less chance of damaging tissue. LED also boosts the activity of mitochondria, an organelle that serves as the respiration and energy production centre of most cells.
  • During the treatment, the light and RF pulses on the skin, causing the darker blemished to get damaged. The body’s natural healing process makes new skin cells to replace the damaged ones. The pigmented and vascular lesions targeted by the light will gradually disappear.

Perks to Expect

Thanks to the neat yet revolutionary science behind it, LED sun and age spot removal offers many perks that other methods cannot. These include:

  • No Pain – Many sun and age spot removal treatments are quite painful, and even LED removal used to be. With modern technological innovations, though, the feeling is reduced to a mild feeling of warmth on the treated skin.
  • Quick but Thorough – The treatment is extremely quick and painless, with each session entailing 15-20 minutes. Scheduling multiple sessions (5-7, preferably) will help ensure the job is done thoroughly.
  • No Downtime – The procedure is completely non-invasive, meaning that you will be able to resume your normal routine and even apply makeup as soon as you walk out of the office.

The experts at Leeza’s Laser are extremely comfortable with all of the science involved in photo rejuvenation. Also specializing in laser hair removal and acne scar removal. They have been serving the Toronto area for many years and have become masters of cutting-edge dermatological practices.

Benefits of Sublative Acne Scar Removal over Alternative Treatments

By

Pretty much every human in history has been affected at least once by the unsightly skin condition known as acne, and skin doctors have been devising treatments for thousands of years to overcome it. Owing to technological advancements made in recent years, dermatologists in the Toronto area now utilize what has proven itself to be the most effective method yet – Sublative RF (acne scar removal). Below are a few of the main advantages of Sublative RF when compared to other lasers and other methods of acne scar treatment.

  • Minimal To No Downtime- Many laser acne scar treatments have a downtime of 1-2 weeks. The unique technology behind Sublative RF allows most people to return to regular activities right after the procedure.
  • Promotes Healthy Skin Growth – Sublative RF acne scar removal does not only shears off layers of skin to eradicate present acne scar – it allows the skin to make healthier cells at a faster rate.
  • Stimulates Collagen Growth– While it’s treating the skin, it also heats below the surface, which stimulates the collagen and results in a toning and skin tightening effect (getting rid of fine lines)
  • Treaments are Adjustable – Any quality acne scar removal centre will examine the patient closely before the treatment in order to determine exactly what program and intensity should be used during the procedure. They will also take time to learn precisely what results the patient hopes for and adjust their choice accordingly.

All of the above are great advantages of Sublative acne scar removal. Maybe the greatest advantage, though, is that you can get your treatment administered by the highly trained professionals at Leeza’s Laser. Specializing in sun and age spot removal and laser hair removal in addition to acne scar removal, Leeza’s laser dermatologists in this type of treatment and will give you peace of mind as well as a comfortable and worry-free experience.

7 Things You Should Be Aware of Before Committing to Laser Hair Removal

For years, Leeza’s Lasers has been helping Toronto area residents to get rid of their body hair once and for all by offering quality laser hair removal treatments. Committing to this process, however, is a big decision and is not something to be rushed into. Here are a few of the most important things to know before deciding on the treatment:

  1. Hair Does Not Grow Back Darker

  2. Laser Hair Removal Doesn’t Hurt – It used to be that hair removal lasers would cause slight discomfort similar to the feeling of rubber bands snapping against skin. With modern technology, though, the discomfort has been minimized.
  3. It Takes Multiple Sessions – Generally, 6-8 sessions, set about 4-6 weeks apart, are required for the treatment to have full effect.
  4. Only Hair in the Anagen Stage is Treated – Hair cycles through 3 stages as it grows – the anagen, catagen, and telogen stages. The treatment is only able to remove hair in the anagen stage, which is why a few treatments are generally required to target all of the hair.
  5. Treatments are Personalized – At a quality laser hair removal centre, the intensity, settings, and procedure are selected based on the patient’s skin colour, hair colour, and skin sensitivity.
  6. Works On ALL Skin Colours and Hair Colours – This technology works on both light skin colours and tanned skin, which is what makes it unique from other laser hair removal.

  7. It Must Be Seen as an Investment – Treating large areas of the body with laser hair removal could be pricey. The savings (not to mention the convenience) you will enjoy by not having to spend money on waxing or other hair removal treatments in the future, however, will more than make up for the initial cost.

The highly-trained laser technicians at Leeza’s Laser keep all of the above listed facts, and many more, in mind at all times to make sure you have the safest and most comfortable hair removal experience possible. Whether you require hair removal, sun and age spot removal, or laser acne scar removal, you are in good hands at Leeza’s.
