Banish sun spots, spider veins and rosacea with Photofacial Rejuvenation

We all want clear, radiant skin but nature has a way of sabotaging our chances of getting exactly what we want. Aging and sun damage are the main factors that attribute to changes in our skin. But the good news is you can improve the look of your skin with photofacial technology.

Photofacial rejuvenation is an advanced non-invasive treatment that uses light to pulse onto the skin to significantly reduce the appearance of sun spots (otherwise known as age spots), spider veins and rosacea.

md cosmetic & laser clinic's photofacial procedure creates a gentle warming of the skin that induces new collagen formation and helps to reduce the look of sun spots, spider veins and rosacea. Photofacial treatments are quick, easy and relatively painless. At md cosmetic & laser clinic, we use a Palomar light handpiece that gently passes over the skin to correct the problem areas. Many people say the procedure feels like a mild snapping sensation which causes little to no discomfort.

After the procedure, patients can expect the affected areas to darken or change colour slightly and then fade away after 10 to 14 days. Most people also experience mild temporary swelling which will also fade shortly after the treatment. These minor side effects are minimal and most people say the results are well worth it.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow



Bathing suit season is just around the corner and for many, that means it's time to start thinking about some extra grooming! Getting rid of unwanted hair in the bikini area, underarms, on the the legs and back, and even on the face has never been easier with today's advanced laser technology. Laser hair removal can be up to 98% permanent after just a few sessions and it's relatively painless.


At md cosmetic & laser clinic, our laser technology is sensitive, precise and effective for all areas of the body and all skin types. Using our state-of-the-art Palomar lasers, our experienced clinicians pulse small amounts of light for a fraction of a second into the pigment of individual hair follicles, destroying them and significantly reducing hair regrowth.


There are minimal side effects, if any. Some people experience a bit of itching or redness in the treated area but those side effects usually only last a few days and are well worth the freedom of ditching your razor forever!
