Love the way you look with the all new Juvederm VOLUMA

Now you can love the way you look with a new treatment available at md cosmetic & laser clinic called Juvederm Voluma.

This new injectable filler is the most advanced treatment available on the market for recontouring and restoring volume to areas effected by weightloss and aging. Those areas like the chin, cheeks and cheekbones can easily be treated with a few safe injections of the all new Voluma to give you a softer, more youthful appearance within minutes. And the best part is the results can last up to 18 months!

According to the experts, most people believe an attractive face is characterised by smooth, round contours, high cheekbones, hollow jowls and a thin, well defined jaw line. Together, these features create the so-called "triangle of beauty" or a heart shaped face that defines traditional beauty. The reality is, as we age gravity and the loss of the natural elasticity can lead to a narrower, less youthful forehead and temple area and a wider, heavier jawline.

Fortunately, Juvederm Voluma can easily and quickly restore facial balance by adding volume and creating contours without surgery and no down time, making you look many years younger.

To learn more about how Juvederm Voluma can work for you call our clinic to book your free consultation. Tel: 604-557-7777 or 1-877-557-7077.

Botox - Debunking the Myths

Myth: Botox is plastic surgery.
Fact: Botox is NOT surgery.

Botox cosmetic is an injectable purified protein. Very low doses are given in a quick and simple nonsurgical procedure. A few tiny injections are given directly into the overactive muscles to relax them and remove the look of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Because the needle is ultra fine, the treatment is almost completely painless. Botox is typically a “no down-time” procedure with no signs of treatment visible to others immediately after the treatment. Within 1-10 days wrinkles will disappear leaving a more pleasant, less tired appearance.

Myth: Botox is unsafe.
Fact: Botox is completely safe when administered by a qualified doctor like Dr. Alibhai

Initially used to treat spastic muscles, Botox was first noticed to have cosmetically pleasing wrinkle reduction side effects by Dr. Jean Carruthers, a Canadian ophthalmologist. She and her husband, a dermatologist, began using Botox for wrinkle reduction with popular results. The practice became widespread in the US and Canada when the same formulation received approval from Health Canada in 2001 and the FDA in 2002.

A word of advice, don’t ever agree to a “Botox” treatment at someone’s house or in another country. The real Botox - the safe, Health Canada approved medication - is only available in a qualified doctor’s office like md cosmetic.

Myth: Botox will give you a frozen or scarred face.
Fact: Botox can give you a natural, refreshed look.

Media images of scarred or deformed celebrities are not the result of Botox but usually a plastic surgical procedure, such as a face lift, gone awry.

Botox is not surgery, and scarring or deformity would be nearly impossible. A properly administered Botox treatment by a qualified professional should never leave you expressionless, either. In fact, at md cosmetic we strive to create a natural "refreshed" look with results usually lasting between three to six months. Most people like the results so much they choose to continue treatments to maintain the look.

Myth: Skin creams can do the same thing as Botox.
Fact: No skin cream can achieve the same results as Botox.

No matter what the claim is, no skin cream can relax the powerful, overactive muscles that cause wrinkles like Botox can.

Myth: Only the “rich and famous” get Botox.
Fact: Botox is the most popular physician administered cosmetic procedure in the Canada.

Millions of people, maybe even your friend, neighbor, or boss, use Botox every year. According to a U.S. survey, 44% of Botox users are from households making under $100,000 a year, and most patients are working mothers between 40 and 55 years old. A Botox treatment is quite affordable, usually starting around $300.

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.

before

after

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!

No Sweat! Botox Helps to Control Hyperhidrosis

Everyone sweats. It's your body's way of cooling itself when you're hot or under stress. However, some people sweat more than others whether its under their arms or on their hands or feet. The resulting sweat marks and body odor often cause severe embarrassment or sometimes even psychological issues. These people suffer from a condition known as hyperhidrosis, a condition that affects one in twenty people worldwide.

Contrary to what some might believe, excessive sweating is treatable. Traditional therapies include antiperspirants, medications or even surgery to remove sweat glands or block nerves that produce sweat. Although effective, there are side effects to surgery and medication, and antiperspirants can only do so much.

Recent developments have revolutionized the way doctors can treat hyperhidrosis by using botulinum toxin, or what is more commonly known as Botox. Botox has quickly become a house hold name for treating wrinkles and fine lines, but when used in a therapeutic application it can also block sweat glands. The quick procedure involves injecting small amounts of Botox in the affected areas. The results are apparent within 2 - 4 days and last up to a year. Most extended health care plans even cover the treatment.

Dr. Alibhai has treated countless patients for hyperhidrosis and all of them have felt so liberated by the results and no longer have to worry about sweating in the wrong places at the wrong time!

For your consultation, contact md cosmetic & laser clinic at 604-557-7777 or toll free at 1-877-557-7077.
