Neuromodulators

Most commonly known as Botox® (botulinum toxin) is a muscle relaxant when injected in targeted areas. The ultimate solution for those who wish to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, neuromodulators are a quick and effective way to improve the appearance and help to create a more youthful look without surgery. It starts working within 7 days with a peak at 2 weeks, when wrinkles will soften, and you’ll appear well-rested without your friends suspecting a thing. These aesthetic treatments are most effective for removing the frown lines between the eyebrows (elevens), drooping brows, fine lines at the outer corners of the eye (crow’s feet) and horizontal lines across the forehead. There are multiple other areas that can be treated with Botox® / Dysport® such as gummy smile, lip flip, droopy smile, neck bands, brow lift and microtox for improving quality of the skin and fine lines.

Dermal Fillers and biostimulators

Dermal fillers can produce instant results, taking years off your appearance. Replacing lost collagen support under your skin, fillers work miracles, plumping, lifting and shaping the skin on your face. Consider dermal fillers to replace volume in your tear troughs, erase smoking lines, enhance your lips or even reshape your jawline. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and help to sculpt youthful-looking contours and definition. Dermal fillers typically consist of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a naturally occurring substance made in the body. Biostimulators stimulate collagen production overtime. Radiesse® is a calcium based filler and collagen stimulator and Sculptra® (PLLA) is an injectable that helps restore volume and skin collagen with long lasting results.

Fat Dissolving Treatments

Caused by age, weight gain or even genetics, fullness under the chin, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” can now be easily treated with Belkyra® (deoxycholic acid). A naturally occurring substance in the body, deoxycholic acid destroys the membranes of fat cells. Belkyra®, the first and only injectable treatment in Canada that targets and eliminates fat cells under the chin creates a beautifully contoured silhouette below the chin. Visible improvement is typically seen after 2-4 treatments.

Hyperhidrosis Treatments

“Hyperhidrosis” is defined by the National Library of Medicine as “a medical condition in which a person sweat excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.” For those who suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), our neurotoxin (aka “Botox”) treatments can provide reliable relief temporarily blocking the nerves that cause sweating. Patients typically begin seeing results in 5-7 days with full results achieved in two weeks, leading to significant improvements in quality of life for many.

MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling treatments are a non-surgical, minimally invasive rejuvenation procedure, using numerous tiny needles to stimulate new collagen and skin tissue, resulting in smoother, brighter and firmer skin. Using the Eclipse Micropen EVO device, Dr. Lewin’s microneedling treatments promote skin renewal, gradually smoothing uneven facial texture and improving skin quality. Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is also considered effective when used to treat fine lines, large and/or open pores, signs of aging and some types of minor scarring including acne scars and may also be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and sunspots.

During your consultation, Dr. Lewin will discuss the procedure with you including pre-and post-treatment recommendations. During your treatment, a numbing gel will be applied for comfort and either hyaluronic acid serum, NCTF Boost 135HA or Platelet- Rich- Plasma (PRP) will be used to increase collagen production and spur the healing process. Non-surgical and minimally invasive, microneedling requires no downtime although you may experience minor redness for 12-24 hours.

PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) TREATMENTS (AKA “VAMPIRE FACIAL”)

Platelets are cells naturally found in the blood that encourage healing. The platelet cells are extracted by drawing a small blood sample which is then agitated to separate the platelets and blood plasma from the red blood cells. The result is platelet-rich plasma that is then re-injected into the targeted area for treatment. Once re-injected, the platelets break down and release growth factors to help cells repair or renew, triggering the body’s healing process. In medicine, PRP treatments are often used to stimulate the healing of injury or burns. By encouraging the growth of tissue with PRP, the body develops a mesh just as it does when healing an injury. PRP treatments are safe, non-invasive procedures that work by injecting concentrated platelets into targeted areas to treat various conditions. By activating the body’s natural healing system, PRP treatments can reveal fresh, younger-looking skin.

PRP FOR HAIR LOSS

Not limited to facial rejuvenation, PRP treatments work by injecting concentrated platelets into targeted areas to treat various conditions, including hair loss. Men and women who are looking to treat hair loss (androgenic alopecia) could benefit from injections of PRP into the scalp. By increasing the blood supply to the hair follicle, PRP injections can trigger natural hair growth. Treatments can also increase the number of hair follicles as well as the thickness of the hair shaft; leading to a thicker head of hair. Similar to the PRP treatments described above, the rich-in-platelets plasma is injected into the scalp after a numbing treatment has been applied. PRP treatments for hair loss take approximately 30-45 minutes and best results are achieved through a minimum of 3-4 treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.

CHEMICAL PEELS

By applying a chemical solution that causes shedding of the skin’s superficial layers, a chemical peel can improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck and hands. Afterwards, the new, regenerated skin appears smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels are also used to treat brown spots, acne scars, oily skin and fine lines. Dr. Lewin offers two types of chemical peels; Renew 30 (Red Carpet peel) and Glow Peel. A great way to refresh with no downtime, Renew 30 peels cause a very mild to no exfoliation, resulting in immediately smoother and freshened skin. Safely and effectively evening out skin tone, reducing brown spots and diminishing fine lines & wrinkles, the Glow Peel, a modified Jessner peel causes a mild exfoliation (peeling) 2-7 days after application. Chemical peels chemical peels are ALUMIERMD and require a consultation with Dr. Lewin to discuss pre-and post-treatment care and to determine the ideal treatment for you.
