Chemical & Laser Peels, Cautery

Revealing a Healthy Glow

All of our peels can be tailored to different intensity levels that produce more or less dramatic results and require different amounts of downtime. At Cosmedica we have a variety of solutions tailored to different needs and budget. Patients with the following concerns can benefit from these procedures:

• Wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Skin tags, moles
• Pre-cancerous conditions such as keratoses (thick, rough, reddish growths)

Our team looks forward to helping you meet your goals and making you feel great. Nothing looks better than healthy, glowing skin!

Procedure Options:

ZO Control Depth Trichloracetic Acid (TCA) Peel is indicated for enlarged pores, skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles. This peel is a highly advanced, in-office-only procedure that is able to reach the deepest skin layers where it stimulates the cells. It can be a slightly ‘hot’ treatment. But the results are outstanding. We have a variety of measures to ensure your comfort during treatment. Downtime varies from 4 to 10 days depending on the peel intensity and desired patient outcomes.

Derm-Eclat Peel treats mild to severe brown pigmentation caused by the sun or hormones. This peel works by inhibiting tyrosinase, which is the enzyme responsible for pigmentation (melanin) .  During the peel patients might feel a slight burning sensation. This subsides shortly after the treatment completion. Once the peel solution is removed some patients might find their skin is slightly red or pinkish. This will last for 1 day maximum. A home care kit is provided to maintain the pigmentation elimination process. Patients can expect mild to moderate peeling which is their pigment lifting and sloughing off. The result is luminous, glowing, even-toned skin! Your nurses will book a follow-up treatment appointment to ensure you are progressing as planned. At Cosmedica, we partner with you. Your happiness is our utmost priority.

Micro Laser Peel improves the skin’s texture by removing a thin layer of damaged skin. One of our experienced nurses will operate the laser and vaporize the dead skin cells which make you look tired and older than you are. As with other skin resurfacing treatments, the skin’s natural healing process promotes the growth of fresh cells. Downtime varies depending on the depth of the peel and desired patient outcomes.  Typically patients have approximately 3-4 days of downtime.

Skin conditions that are effectively treated by the Micro Laser Peel include:

• Mild wrinkling
• Scars
• Seborrheic keratosis, a raised noncancerous skin growth
• Keratosis pilaris (KP), raised lesions usually on the back of arms, legs
• Sun damage
• Irregular pigmentation

The most popular treatment areas are the face and neck, but Micro Laser Peel treatments can also be used to improve the appearance of the hands, arms and chest. You’ll notice results after a single treatment, but additional treatments may be needed depending on the condition of your skin and your personal aesthetic goals.

Nano Laser Peel is a gentle laser peel with little to no downtime.  If you are looking for great exfoliation and improvement in fine lines and enlarged pores, the Nano peel may be perfect for you!

The benefits of this treatment include:

• Efficiency: Laser treatments such as the Nano Laser Peel can be completed in 10 minutes or less.
• Little downtime: Most patients need only a day or 2 before to let their skin heal. That means you can make a Friday appointment and return to work Monday.
• Excellent results: Rough, damaged skin feels softer following treatment.

Cautery is an easy fast treatment that can be done by one of our expert nurses.  Any lumps, bumps, raised lesions, skin tags, or moles on almost any area of the face or body can be effectively removed in minutes with this fantastic machine. Downtime varies depending on the area treated and type of removal. Book a consultation online or call (905) 631-6288 if you have a spot or two that has been bothering you!
