Superficial Skin Conditions

Skin tags, medically referred to as acrochordons, are benign skin growths that typically appear in areas where the skin folds. Common locations include the neck, armpits, groin, and eyelids. 

These growths are usually harmless but can become a cosmetic concern for many people. They may vary in size and colour but often match your skin tone or are slightly darker.

Our clinic employs advanced laser technology to address skin tags effectively. The high-energy light targets the growth directly, causing it to dry out and eventually fall off.

The process is precise and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues. It ensures that only the targeted skin tag is affected, leaving the adjacent area untouched.

Before Treatment

Before your appointment, there are several steps you can take to prepare your skin for treatment. We recommend avoiding sun exposure on the area to be treated for at least two weeks prior. Also, refrain from using any creams or skincare products on the day of your treatment.

During Treatment

Laser skin tag removal is a straightforward procedure that involves applying targeted laser energy to the tag. The heat from the laser disrupts the cells within the tag, causing it to dry out and eventually fall off, thanks to our use of advanced technology and expert techniques.

After Treatment

After your treatment, keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If a scab forms over the treated area, do not pick at it as this could lead to scarring. Avoid direct sun exposure for two weeks post-treatment and apply sunscreen if necessary. In some cases, a mild topical ointment may be recommended by our professionals.

The results of laser skin tag removal are generally noticeable within two weeks following treatment. The number of sessions required varies based on the size and number of skin tags.

It’s important to note that while smaller tags might require just one session for complete removal, larger ones might necessitate multiple treatments for optimal results.

Concerns About Scarring

Many clients worry about possible scarring from removal treatments. With our careful and precise technique utilizing high-grade lasers, scarring is highly unlikely. Any potential risk is minimized by specifically targeting the skin tag while protecting surrounding tissues.

Following treatment, you might notice a slightly darker spot where the tag once was. This discoloration naturally fades over time as your skin heals and regenerates.

• Improves the skin's appearance: Skin tag removal significantly improves your skin by eliminating unsightly skin tags, leading to clearer and smoother skin.
• Non-Invasive and Painless: The procedure at Anti-Aging Clinic Toronto is non-surgical, simple, and designed for your comfort, causing minimal pain.
• Long-lasting results with quick recovery: Once removed, skin tags rarely grow back in the same place providing you with long-term results. Plus, the recovery time post-procedure is minimal allowing you to return to everyday activities promptly.

Once a skin tag has been removed by laser treatment, it is unlikely to regrow in the same spot. The laser destroys the base of the skin tag, preventing its return. However, new skin tags can form due to factors such as genetics or friction from clothing.

Scarring is minimal with laser treatment for skin tag removal. The laser works by evaporating the water in cells, causing them to burst and destroy the skin tag without damaging surrounding tissues. This leaves minimal trace on your skin once healed.

Telangiectasia are small, dilated blood vessels that can appear close to the skin's surface. They often present themselves around and under the nose. These veins can become more visible due to factors like sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Genetic predisposition can also play a significant role in their development. Understanding these causes helps in tailoring effective treatment strategies.

Our clinic utilizes cutting-edge laser technology in tackling Telangiectasia. Laser treatment offers a non-invasive solution that focuses on breaking down these tiny vessels without affecting surrounding tissues.

Health Canada approved Cynosure Apogee Elite laser is used in our clinic for treating Telangiectasia. This high-tech laser precisely targets the veins causing it to collapse; post which the body's repair mechanism takes over. Cooling is applied before and after the procedure for enhanced comfort and skin protection.

The targeted approach of laser treatment facilitates precision in eliminating small veins and promoting clearer skin. The procedure effectively closes off these unsightly vessels thereby reducing their appearance significantly.

The procedure entails directing laser light at the affected area which absorbs into the veins causing them to collapse. Prior to this treatment, a consultation will determine your suitability for the procedure and any specific preparatory steps required.

Comfort measures, such as a cooling mechanism, may be employed during the treatment. This helps to manage any discomfort and enhance the overall experience.

Aftercare guidelines will be provided following treatment to ensure optimal results and recovery. These usually encompass basic measures like avoiding sun exposure and wearing compression stockings if advised.

• Minimally Invasive: The treatment is non-surgical, making it less invasive than traditional procedures.
• Convenient: Procedures are carried out in the clinic, eliminating the need for hospital visits and allowing for immediate return to daily activities.
• Effective Results: Laser treatment has been proven highly successful at diminishing the appearance of veins, promoting smoother and more evenly toned skin.

Results of the treatment can be noticed soon after the initial session itself with full effects apparent after a series of treatments. Each individual’s case varies; therefore, timelines differ based on severity and response to treatment.

While some might need multiple sessions spread over several weeks, others may see drastic improvements with fewer visits. Regardless of your situation, our objective remains constant: achieving significant reduction in visible spider veins to enhance your overall complexion.

The number of treatments required for comprehensive removal depends on various factors including the size and density of your spider veins. While small veins can often be eliminated in just one to two sessions, larger clusters may need more.

Each session is scheduled with ample interval times for your body to heal naturally and for the best results. During your consultation, a detailed treatment plan will be provided based on an analysis of your individual condition.

Small pigmentation spots or age spots, also known as solar lentigines, are small, dark patches that appear on the skin due to excess melanin. They commonly occur in areas exposed to the sun, such as face, hands and arms, and can vary in size from freckle-sized to larger than a centimeter.

They  are caused by an excess production of melanin in certain areas of the skin. Exposure to sunlight, aging, or other forms of ultraviolet light can trigger this process. Hormonal changes, skin injuries, or inflammation may also cause these spots to appear.  As we age, these spots become more common.

Laser treatments offer an effective solution for tackling small pigmentation and age spots. The process involves using beams of light to break up the pigment in the skin.

It's a quick procedure that requires little to no downtime. The targeted light energy works to disperse the concentration of melanin and gradually lighten the spot over time.

Before

The first step in treating pigmentation and age spots is conducting a thorough skin examination. This allows us to understand your skin's condition and determine the best course of action.

It is also recommended to avoid sun exposure and chemicals such as retinol, hydroquinone, or kojic acid for at least a week before your treatment.

During the Procedure

During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided as a laser device delivers pulses of light to the targeted area. Most clients report minimal discomfort during this non-invasive procedure.

After undergoing our laser treatment for pigmentation and age spots, you should see a gradual fading over several weeks. Improvement in skin texture is another notable benefit reported by many clients.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the size and location of the spots, as well as individual skin types. Typically, patients see significant improvement after just a few sessions. Our specialists will provide an accurate estimate during your initial consultation.

While results may vary depending on individual factors such as size and location of age spots, consistent use of sunscreen post-treatment can significantly prolong effects.

• Enhanced Skin Aesthetics: Treating age spots and pigmentation significantly improves the appearance of the skin, giving it a more even and youthful look.
• Boosted Self-Confidence: The noticeable improvement in skin appearance can greatly enhance self-esteem and confidence.
• Quick & Convenient: The treatments are swift, allowing clients to continue with their daily routine almost immediately after a session.
• Safe Procedure: Administered by experienced professionals, these treatments pose minimal risk and discomfort to the clients.
• Minimal Downtime: Unlike invasive procedures, these treatments have little to no downtime, making them a convenient option for many.

Small pigmentation and age spots can fade over time naturally but this process can take several years. Opting for our clinic's effective laser treatment can expedite this process considerably, returning your skin to its natural beauty much faster than expected.
