2 Women contract HIV at a spa after a vampire facial in the U.S.

A second customer has tested HIV positive after having a “vampire facial” at a spa in the US. Click here to read the full story.

We urge our loyal clientele and all others: please do not sacrifice your health for beauty. We are seeing a proliferation of “medi-spas”, hair & nail salons, and nurse-only run clinics popping up all over Toronto and the GTA offering skin care treatments & services.

We are talking about your health and beauty. While costs are definitely an important factor, shopping for price alone is incredibly dangerous and can be even more costly when things don’t work out. Do you know what’s more expensive that expertskin care provided by physicians?….skin care provided by under-trained, under-experienced, and un-supervised amateurs.

Interestingly, in many cases, the actual cost is the same or less with a highly trained and experienced physician at our clinic which many patients who come to us to fix problems caused elsewhere are shocked to find.

At Toronto Dermatology Centre, ONLY our highly trained and experienced physicians inject Botox and Fillers.

As previous sages have noted:

1. Remember that the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

2. Don’t focus on the money you spend, but on the value you receive

3. It’s not the paint or the paintbrush that make the painting, it’s the painter!
