With summer just around the corner, it’s time to embrace flirty skirts, khaki shorts and bathing suits. But is your skin ready? Here are 5 skin problems we can help you resolve:
1) Keratosis pilaris
For treatment, best to use topical exfoliates containing alpha-hydroxy acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid or urea moisturize to soften dry skin while helping to loosen & remove dead skin cells. Certain types of KP may involve severe redness & inflammation which can be successfully treated with Laser Genesis. Also, the Profractional laser can be used to break up the skin in the affected areas, thus eliminating the plugged follicle.
2) Stretch marks and scars
Toronto Dermatology Centre offers both invasive & non-invasive treatments which can help fade and reduce your stretch marks and scar from injury, surgery and/or acne. Such as Profractional laser, microneedling with PRP, chemical peels and microdermabrasion. We also carry a variety of skincare products that can help elevate your results.
3) Décolletage, neck and jawline
Morpheus8 & Forma is our newest anti-aging and skin-tightening treatment which combines radiofrequency with microneedling. CoolSculptng and Belkyra are also ideal treatments for double chins. We can help you reverse the signs of sun damage, restore skin laxity and recontour your neck/jawline.
4) Spider leg veins
Sclerotherapy is a popular method of eliminating spider leg veins. A solution is injected into the veins, leading to fading of the vessels over several weeks. Treatments are quick, safe and relatively painless. Most patients require 3-5 sessions for optimal results. We also house the Excel V Laser which can target smaller spider veins on both the face and legs.
5) Body/Back acne
Besides our face, our body and back are the prime real estate for acne. At TDC, our team of dermatologists and medical estheticians can together help create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Ranging from chemical peels, microneedling to lasers. On top of that, we carry exclusive skincare products with medical-grade ingredients that can help target and resolve your acne problems.
