Looking for an effective, simple, non-invasive anti-aging treatment?

Mesotherapy could be just what you need.

Mesotherapy has become increasingly popular in recent years, and offers a powerful alternative to other, more invasive procedures. This type of treatment can fight common signs of aging, improve the appearance of your skin, and address various conditions on the face or body.

At Astra Medicare, our team offers professional mesotherapy treatments to suit all skin types. But if you’ve never tried mesotherapy or any other cosmetic treatment before, you may feel a little nervous about booking your first session.

That’s why we’ve written the following guide to mesotherapy: by the time you reach the end, you’ll understand how mesotherapy works, what benefits it offers, and other essential details.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a treatment technique designed to leave your skin tighter, revitalized, and more youthful. Treatment providers may also use mesotherapy to get rid of excess fat on the body or around the face (such as a double chin).

A cocktail of hormones, plant extracts, vitamins, and enzymes are injected into target areas, based on your unique aesthetic goals.

How Does Mesotherapy Work?

Mesotherapy treatment is fairly straightforward and quick. If this is your first cosmetic procedure, you may be surprised by just how simple it actually is.

During mesotherapy, treatment providers use a handheld tool containing many fine needles. These inject the carefully formulated substance into the skin’s middle layer (known as the mesoderm) as the treatment provider moves the device across the target area. The depth of those injections may vary from treatment to treatment, based on the condition to be treated.

All mesotherapy treatments at Astra Medicare are performed by registered nurses and medical doctors. They will provide you with a comfortable experience, answer your questions, and ensure that you know what to expect from your treatment.

What are the Top Reasons to Try Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is designed to rejuvenate your skin and enhance its overall appearance, with a proven anti-aging effect. If you’re frustrated by certain signs of aging on your face or neck, such as a double chin, age spots, or dark circles under your eyes, mesotherapy could make a big difference.

Mesotherapy can be used to target a number of issues, including:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Signs of aging on the face and neck
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull skin
• Depigmentation
• Acne
• Dark circles and bags under eyes
• Age spots
• Localized body fat
• Stretch marks
• Cellulite

Mesotherapy may make your skin look less tired and dull, while helping to improve circulation and remove toxins that contribute to the signs of aging. The nutrients used in mesotherapy substances can also promote collagen production, which is essential for maintaining tight, firm, plump skin.

Does Mesotherapy Cause Discomfort?

A topical cream will be applied to the target area before your treatment to help you stay comfortable. If you feel nervous about needle injections, tell your treatment provider beforehand and they will be happy to help put you at ease.

What Should You Do After Your Mesotherapy Treatment?

For some people, their go-to anti-aging solution is cosmetic surgery. But one of the biggest issues with invasive procedures is the downtime required.

Fortunately, mesotherapy is a noninvasive treatment so you won’t experience any downtime, which is a big advantage if you want to fit a quick cosmetic procedure into a packed schedule. You may be able to continue with your plans after your treatment, whether you go to work or go shopping.

However, some people may prefer to go home and rest after their mesotherapy treatment, depending on the areas targeted. Your treatment provider will be able to offer advice on your post-mesotherapy plans.

Are There Any Side Effects?

As with any other cosmetic treatment, mesotherapy may lead to side effects. It’s unlikely that you will experience any of these, but it’s important that you’re aware of potential effects before you try mesotherapy.

Possible side effects include:

• Sensitivity
• Itching
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Rash
• Nausea
• Infection

Your treatment provider will discuss the potential side effects with you during your consultation.

How Often Do You Need Mesotherapy Treatments?

It’s likely that you will notice improvements in your skin and/or body after your first session, but it will take longer for the full results to become visible.

The number of mesotherapy sessions required to achieve your aesthetic goals will depend on the issues to be addressed. Typically, though, we recommend a course of six sessions scheduled at two to four week intervals. 

How Long Do Mesotherapy Results Last?

Various factors determine how long your mesotherapy results will stay visible, including your skin type, the number of sessions you have undergone, and the condition(s) treated.

However, results generally last from one year to 18 months. We may be able to give you a more accurate time frame during your consultation.

Will You Be Able to Apply Makeup Immediately After Mesotherapy?

You may feel tempted to wear makeup after your mesotherapy treatment, but we recommend that you avoid applying any cosmetics to your face for 24 hours after your session.

What Other Anti-Aging Treatments are Available?

A variety of other anti-aging treatments are available at Astra Medicare. If you’re curious about other treatments designed to cultivate a more youthful appearance, you can choose from the following options:

• GentleMAX Skin Tightening
• Botox
• Clear + Brilliant
• Threads Lift
• PRP Vampire Facelift

Acne affects almost 20% of Canadians, primarily those between 12 and 24 years of age. While everyone develops pimples on their face and body from time to time, people prone to acne can experience severe, painful breakouts.

And these can have a lasting impact on your appearance if they scar. But you can make acne scarring less visible and improve the general quality of your skin with the right personalized facial treatments.

What options do you have? How do they work? Find out as we explore personalized facial treatments for acne and acne scarring.

What Causes Acne?

Acne occurs when hair follicles (tiny holes in the skin) in one or more areas become clogged. It starts with sebum; the oil produced by tiny sebaceous glands, which are close to the skin’s surface and attached to hair follicles.

Sebum is a natural lubricant that prevents the hair and skin from becoming more dry than it should. However, glands may release an excessive amount of sebum, which mixes with dead skin cells and accumulates in hair follicles.

Clogged follicles near to the skin’s surface begin to protrude, which we see as whiteheads. Blocked hair follicles that are open, though, become blackheads. Follicles may also be infected by bacteria, leading to pustules or cysts.

Increasing testosterone levels may trigger excessive sebum production, too, particularly during puberty and adolescence.

Other potential causes include:

• Menstruating
• Foods (e.g. dairy)
• Medications
• Squeezing pimples
• Cosmetic products

Additionally, people may be more likely to develop acne if one or both of their parents have been affected.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Not everyone who experiences acne will be left with acne scars, but it’s common nonetheless.

Scarring is most likely to occur when severe pimples, such as hard nodules, pop and damage surrounding skin. Nodules and cysts may also affect the skin more deeply than less-severe pimples, ultimately damaging it enough to leave scars.

However, picking or squeezing pimples can also lead to acne scarring.

Personalized Treatments for Acne Scars

Facial treatments performed by trained professionals can help to reduce the visibility of acne scars and make your skin look healthier overall. During personalized facials, you will receive a treatment designed to address one or more specific issues affecting your skin.

At Astra Medicare, we utilize modern technology - Morpheous8 by InMode to treat acne scars, as well as wide variety of other skin conditions. Morpheus8 delivers the deepest fractional treatments available, penetrating subdermal tissue up to 8mm (7mm + 1mm thermal profile). It is non-invasive and uses two-stage radiofrequency for best results.

As acne is such a common condition, there are various suitable personalized facial treatments to choose from. We’ll explore seven examples below:

Acne Basic S.O.S.

The Acne Basic S.O.S. facial is a purifying treatment. It starts with a refreshing deep cleanse to remove impurities and balance the skin while soothing inflammation.

High-frequency technology is also used to provide more oxygen to the skin, helping to treat acne and improve the skin’s texture. Your skin should feel smoother and healthier after this treatment.

Astra Glow Treatment

The Astra Glow Treatment is designed to improve skin prone to acne, leaving it looking and feeling better. It can also reduce hyperpigmentation (the formation of dark patches on skin) and minimize the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.

The Perfect Derma Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel is a popular facial treatment created to solve a number of skin issues, from acne scarring to sun spots. It contains highly effective ingredients, including kojic acid, TCA, salicylic acid, vitamin C, glutathione, and phenol.

The Perfect Derma Peel may also be customized to suit everyone, regardless of skin type or ethnicity. Results are typically visible one week after the treatment.

Micro-Needling Lite Elite

Micro-Needling Lite Elite can improve the appearance of acne scars, decrease the size of large pores, and address hyperpigmentation.

Micro-needling is a non-surgical procedure, during which very fine needles prick skin in specific areas of the face. This treatment promotes the production of new skin tissue and collagen to cultivate firmer, plumper, smoother skin. LED therapy will be added to maximize the quality of the treatment results.

Pluryal Recover Me

Pluryal Recover Me can repair skin and make treated areas clearer, healthier, and brighter. Micro-needling and LED therapy are used with serums to achieve the best results. It can have a positive impact on acne and help reduce acne scarring.

Therapeutical Men’s Retreat

A treatment for men who want to address acne scarring and enhance the appearance of their skin. It can also soothe inflammation and razor irritation, which may be an issue if you shave daily.

During this treatment, a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and extractions will leave the skin looking healthier. Extractions involve clearing clogged pores, which can prevent breakouts and (ultimately) scarring.

A massage is also included, along with a mask application.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating treatment utilizing a vacuum and small crystals that remove dead skin cells, which are then sucked up into the vacuum. The treatment provider will move a handheld device over your face to gently remove the skin’s top layer.

This facial treatment can improve the appearance of acne and acne scars, make your face look more refreshed, and even reduce the visibility of fine lines.

Choosing the Right Personalized Facial Treatment for Your Acne

If you have never tried a facial or any other treatment designed to help ease acne and acne scarring, you may feel unsure which is right for you.

That’s why an expert team and in-depth consultations are so important. You will be able to discuss your acne, scarring, and general skin issues with your treatment provider first.

They will answer your questions, examine your skin, and help you choose the most effective facial treatment for your acne.

Body contouring is a popular treatment capable of transforming certain areas, from the belly to the thighs and beyond. But how does it work? And what is the best non-surgical option out there?

Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know to find the right treatment.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a type of cosmetic treatment, during which specific areas are reshaped. It’s not a quick fix for losing weight: instead, it focuses on stubborn fat that remains unaffected by healthy eating and exercise.

Practitioners can perform body contouring on various areas. Some of the most common sites include:

• Back
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Obliques
• Neck

A number of non-invasive, non-surgical treatment types are available — including the Inmode Evolve system.

This is one of the most popular, most effective, and most reliable solutions on the market. Whether you want to remove a single pocket of fat from your torso, work on your thighs, or tighten up your arms, you can make a visible impact on your shape with Inmode Evolve.

What is Inmode Evolve?

Inmode’s Evolve line encompasses three products:

• Evolve Trim
• Evolve Tite
• Evolve Tone

The Evolve system allows trained practitioners to help patients achieve a more toned physique through hands-free, non-invasive treatments. It includes the three technologies on the one system, providing patients with a way to remodel their skin and improve their muscular definition.

What Does the Inmode Evolve Body Contouring Treatment Involve?

Let’s take a closer look at the three Inmode Evolve technologies:

Evolve Trim

Evolve Transform utilizes radio frequency energy and a vacuum to target subcutaneous fat in multiple areas at the same time. Treatment lasts around 45 minutes.

The Evolve Trim system’s patented technology uses a uniform thermal effect to target cellulite and adipose tissue on the arms, abdomen, and thighs.

Evolve Tite

As the name suggests, Evolve Tite is designed to tighten targeted skin and tissue through the careful application of heat. It administers radio frequency energy via eight hands-free applicators, penetrating the skin to reach the subdermal layer. This lasts around 45 minutes.

Evolve Tone

Evolve Tone stimulates targeted muscles with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to create greater tone and definition.

The Evolve Tone system incorporates four hands-free applicators that affect certain muscle groups, prompting involuntary contractions that boost strength. It also transforms the appearance of stimulated muscles over time. This lasts around 30 minutes.

What are the Benefits of Inmode Evolve Body Contouring?

Here are three major benefits of contouring your body with Inmode Evolve:

No Need for Invasive Surgery

Surgery is a more complicated and risky type of treatment than non-invasive body contouring. One of the main issues is finding a surgeon who specializes in achieving the goals you have in mind, with a great record for safety and quality.

Another potential problem with some surgical procedures is the side effects, such as bleeding, infections, and bruises. Furthermore, if the results are disappointing, patients may need to undergo further treatment to correct the issue.

And lifestyle disruptions should be considered before deciding on invasive cosmetic surgery. Patients may be required to take days or weeks away from work to recuperate, as well as avoid activities that they love to take part in (e.g. playing sports).

Target Stubborn Areas with Ease

Anyone who has adopted a healthier, more active lifestyle to lose weight only to find they still can’t get rid of fatty deposits will understand how frustrating that can be. But Inmode Evolve body contouring enables patients to address areas that refuse to change regardless of all the calorie counting and exercise they do.

Patients can trim, tone, and tighten several areas across their body with the Inmode Evolve system through a full course of treatment. They may achieve the look they wanted when they started to lose weight.

Enjoy Lasting Results

Evolve Trim, Evolve Tone, and Evolve Tite can create noticeable results that last for several months with no downtime.

It’s recommended that you schedule repeat treatments to maintain the results, though the frequency of these follow-up sessions can vary. This depends on the patient’s lifestyle and their personal goals.

For example, patients who can exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet may be able to last for longer between treatments. But those who cannot maintain their shape and tone independently may need repeat sessions more often.

How Long Does Inmode Evolve Take to Achieve Results?

Patients typically need between six and eight Inmode Evolve treatments to cultivate the best results, staggered one week apart. The treatment areas should start to become more defined and in line with your goals throughout the course. Results will continue to become more noticeable across subsequent weeks.

A comprehensive consultation will be provided before you start your treatment. A specialist will discuss the Inmode Evolve system with you in detail, explain how it works, and answer any questions you have. They will help you feel at ease with the technology and the process to ensure a satisfying patient experience.

Are There Any Side Effects You Need to Know About?

As with any form of cosmetic treatment, even non-surgical solutions, body contouring can cause side effects. The vast majority of patients who undergo Inmode Evolve treatments have a positive experience without discomfort or undesirable effects.

Regardless, it’s crucial that you’re aware of the potential risks before you make your decision. These include:

• Bruising
• Swelling
• Increased skin sensitivity
• Redness
• Tingling

These possible side effects are all considered to be temporary and should fade after a couple of days. If you have any concerns regarding these, speak to your practitioner during your consultation. They will be happy to provide you with peace of mind.

How Can You Try Inmode Evolve Body Contouring?

Astra Medicare offers patients in the Brampton area the chance to experience the Inmode Evolve treatments for themselves, as well as a host of others.

IV vitamin therapy has become a popular treatment in recent years, with some major celebrities taking advantage of it to look and feel at their best. But what does it involve? And why should you try it?

Below, we’ll explore how it works, what benefits it offers, and everything else you need to know about IV vitamin therapy.

What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV vitamin therapy is a simple, efficient way to deliver high doses of crucial vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream.

A specially formulated mix of ingredients is fed into the body gradually, via an IV drip, while the patient relaxes. The treatment usually takes around one hour, though it may be less depending on the chosen concoction.

What Benefits Does IV Vitamin Therapy Offer?

Increased absorption is the main benefit of administering vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients and substances via IV drip.

By injecting the mix into the bloodstream as a fluid, you can get more out of its positive components than you would if you ate healthy foods or swallowed supplements instead. That’s because the fluid avoids the digestive process, which can hinder absorbency considerably.

For instance, you might start eating more oranges to increase your vitamin C levels, but less of the healthy nutrients would reach your bloodstream after you have digested those oranges. And if you drank fruit juices to get extra vitamins instead, the sugars and acidity could erode your teeth over time or trigger reflux issues.

But that’s not a problem when you try an IV treatment. Just sit back, take it easy, and let the nutrients enter your bloodstream without eating foods or taking supplements you don’t want to.

Each type of IV vitamin therapy offers its own benefits depending on the results it’s designed to achieve. That may be:

• Improving the quality of your skin
• Boosting your athletic performance before a sports event
• Enhancing your general wellbeing
• Aiding weight loss

Your provider will discuss the benefits of your chosen IV therapy treatment in depth, to ensure you understand exactly what it will involve.

What Types of IV Vitamin Therapy are Available?

You can choose from a variety of treatments to suit different conditions, needs, and goals. Astra Medicare offers an extensive range of options, including:

Vitamin C IV Therapy

Vitamin C can help the body to heal faster, boost resistance to different types of viruses (such as the common cold), and increase energy levels.

However, the human body is incapable of producing vitamin C naturally, which is why people rely on vitamin C-rich foods. But large quantities of vitamin C can cause gastrointestinal issues — which is why vitamin C IV therapy is a better option!

This injects the vitamin C directly into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive process, allowing the body to absorb more of it in a safer way. It can boost the immune system, encourage healthier collagen production, fight harmful free radicals, and contribute to more effective healing.

IV Vitamin Cocktails

You can choose from a wide range of IV cocktails containing various vitamins, minerals, and other healthy ingredients.

For example, the Pure Energy option is packed with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to boost your energy levels. And the Replenish mix contains multiple vitamins and minerals to replenish cells, restore energy, metabolic balance, and vitality.

Glutathione IV

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant formed in the liver and necessary for various essential processes, including repairing tissue and creating proteins. But another function is inhibiting the production of melanin, the substance responsible for skin pigmentation.

As a result, glutathione IV therapy can be an effective way to brighten skin and promote a more even skin tone. People affected by hyperpigmentation, which leaves dark patches developing across the skin, may benefit from glutathione IV therapy. It can also improve the appearance of blemishes, freckles, and liver spots.

M.I.C. Injections

The M.I.C. Infusion IV treatment is formulated to reduce fatty tissue and boost the metabolism. It contains three lipotropic compounds: Methionine, Inositol, and Choline.

• Methionine: An antioxidant that can lower cholesterol and decrease fat.
• Inositol: A carbohydrate that aids fat redistribution and metabolization.
• Choline: This encourages healthy fat metabolism, detoxification, and memory.

Clinical studies show that the body may burn fat more quickly and efficiently after M.I.C. injections, liver function can become healthier, and cholesterol levels may drop.

Who are the Best Candidates for IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV vitamin therapy can benefit people of diverse age groups and lifestyles. Those who can’t eat the amount of food their body requires, for example, may introduce more essential nutrients into their system directly. Similarly, people with a condition that affects their ability to absorb nutrients in a healthy way can benefit from IV vitamin therapy.

But people can also take advantage of IV therapies to replenish their bodies after intense exercise, help ease hangovers after drinking alcohol, and to help fight off colds or flu.

It’s vital that you have a comprehensive consultation before you try any vitamin IV therapy for the first time. A specialist will discuss your health, your goals, and more to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.

How Much Does IV Vitamin Therapy Cost?

IV treatments are competitively priced, which is ideal if you want to use them regularly. Prices vary from one option to the next, though, so you’ll need to speak to your provider to learn more.

How Can I Get the Right IV Treatment for My Needs?

Astra Medicare’s team is dedicated to helping you find the ideal treatments for your health goals, lifestyle, and unique requirements. Whether you want to boost your immune system, get more energy ahead of an important sports event, or you have a hangover to tackle, our selection of vitamin IV therapies will present the solution.

Get in touch with our team today to find out more about our IV treatments, including our Brain Booster, Immunity Booster, Pure Energy, and other options!

Does Mesotherapy Really Work?

Mesotherapy is a treatment designed to enhance the skin and body shape in different ways. It may be recommended to patients experiencing difficulties with wrinkles, weight gain, skin disorders, scarring, and more.

But is mesotherapy effective?

Yes! And in this post, we’ll explore how and why mesotherapy works, what benefits it offers, and other essential information you need to know before your first session.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy was created by French doctor Michel Pistor in 1952. While it was initially developed to relieve pain and treat vascular disorders, mesotherapy has gone on to become a popular cosmetic treatment targeting various skin issues.

Mesotherapy is performed using incredibly fine needles which inject a carefully formulated solution into the skin’s middle layer (the mesoderm). This targets underlying problems such as inflammation that damages the skin or weak circulation.

A number of solutions are used for mesotherapy treatments, and they may contain various ingredients. For example, your mesotherapy solution could be made with:

• Enzymes
• Herbal extracts
• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Antibiotics
• Plant extracts
• Hormones

The professional performing the procedure will choose the solution based on your skin type, your skin issues, and other critical factors.

What Benefits Does Mesotherapy Offer?

Mesotherapy can improve a patient’s appearance in a number of ways. You may consider mesotherapy for making subtle enhancements to your skin, such as targeting dark patches on the face, or for bigger tasks like smoothing out fine lines or stimulating hair growth.

It’s crucial that you discuss your motivation to try mesotherapy, and the goals you want to achieve, with a trained professional before they perform your treatment.

Generally, mesotherapy can be an effective solution for:

• Improving acne and acne scars.
• Hydrating and rejuvenating skin.
• Promoting healthier skin overall.
• Reducing the visibility of wrinkles.
• Brightening and nourishing skin that looks dull.
• Treating hyperpigmentation.
• Tightening sagging skin.
• Improving the appearance of cellulite.
• Reducing the visibility of stretch marks.
• Improving the appearance of dark circles/bags under eyes.
• Treating hair loss, such as alopecia.
• Targeting localized body fat.

You’ll have an opportunity to discuss your reasons for trying mesotherapy, and what changes you want to see, during a consultation. Ask any questions you may have during this session to ensure you have all the information you need before you undergo your treatment.

What Can I Expect After My Mesotherapy Treatment?

Patients generally find that their skin looks healthier than ever when they finish their course of mesotherapy sessions. Wrinkles may be less visible, pockets of stubborn fat could become more streamlined, and skin tones should appear more even. The outcome varies based on the solution used, the areas treated, and more.

You’ll most likely require multiple mesotherapy treatments to achieve your desired results. The frequency of your sessions, and the number required, will be discussed during your first session. Some patients may need to visit a clinic for just a few treatments, while others could require more than a dozen.

Initially, injections will be administered once each week, though it could be 10 days or longer in some cases. However, intervals will become longer once your skin starts to look and feel better — you may undergo mesotherapy treatments on a monthly basis by that point.

Fortunately, mesotherapy is a noninvasive treatment and no downtime will be required for you to recover. That sets mesotherapy apart from invasive procedures that require long healing periods.

Does Mesotherapy Have Any Side Effects?

Mesotherapy can lead to side effects, just like any other type of cosmetic procedure involving injections. These include:

• Pain
• Swelling
• Redness
• Itching
• Nausea
• Dark areas of skin
• Bruising
• Bumps at injection sites
• Scars
• Infections

Trained professionals will discuss any side effects that you may be at risk of developing before your treatment — you should feel in safe hands and confident in the practitioner’s skills.

If any of the potential side effects concern you, ask the practitioner to elaborate on them in more detail. They will want to set you at ease and give you peace of mind before you receive your first injections.

Does Mesotherapy Cause Pain?

Mesotherapy is generally a pain-free procedure. Anesthetic cream will be applied to the target areas before you receive your injections to help minimize potential discomfort.

If you’re nervous about having an injection, or feel uncomfortable around needles in general, make the practitioner aware. They can talk you through your treatment and reassure you that you’re in good hands.

What Other Treatments Can Improve the Way My Skin Looks?

You may complement your mesotherapy with other treatments if you want to take a more comprehensive approach to tackling issues. These include:

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP0
• IV therapy(such as IV Glutathione treatment or Slim Boost)
• Botox
• Thread Lift
• Facial treatments
• Clear + Brilliant

This is a small selection of the options available at Astra Medicare. Our highly trained, experienced experts have helped countless patients achieve positive results from their treatment. Our mesotherapy is performed using the latest equipment in a relaxing, professional environment.

How Should I Prepare for My Mesotherapy Treatment?

Keep the following directions in mind to prepare for your mesotherapy treatment safely and correctly:

• Avoid drinking alcohol within 24 hours of a session: this can thin the blood and heighten your risk of bruising.
• Contact the clinic if you develop a blemish or rash in one or more target areas before your appointment.
• Avoid medications designed to thin the blood or fight inflammation for at least two weeks ahead of your treatment. These include aspirin, advil, omega 3 oils, and similar products.
• Inform your practitioner if you are, or believe you may be, pregnant. You will not be able to continue with your treatment if you’re carrying a baby or breastfeeding.

Here Is How Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Improves Hair Loss

Hair loss affects people of different genders, ages, and hair types. This may be a temporary issue that results from illness, medication, extreme stress, hormonal fluctuations, or other causes. Or it can be a permanent condition that leaves the scalp partially or fully bald.

For example, according to the Canadian Dermatology Association, male pattern baldness, a genetic condition inherited from relatives, affects around half of men. And about 40% of females experience some level of hair thinning by the time they turn 50, typically due to a combination of genetics and hormones.

Regardless of the factors contributing to hair loss, it can be an incredibly difficult process to experience. Fortunately, more treatments are available than ever today — including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

But what is PRP therapy, how does it work, and how can it improve hair loss? We’ll answer these questions and more below.

What is Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP therapy is an increasingly popular treatment for hair loss, though it’s also used to treat:

• Acne scars
• Wrinkles and lines
• Dark spots
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars

One of the most well-known types of PRP treatments is the “vampire facelift”, which can create smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

PRP therapy revolves around platelets, a critical component of your blood alongside red and white blood cells. Platelets are essential for promoting healing, stopping bleeding after an injury, and repairing damaged cells. If you cut yourself anywhere on your body, platelets will arrive at the site and start repairing the tissue right away, though the healing process could still take days.

The platelet-rich plasma contains more platelets than naturally found in blood, as well as essential growth factors and proteins to increase the speed of healing.

The PRP process begins with a medical professional drawing a sample of your blood with a needle. Next, they will place the blood into a machine known as a centrifuge: this will rotate the sample at high speed to separate the platelets and plasma from the rest of the blood’s components. The medical professional will then take the platelets and prepare them for injection back into the patient’s body.

With regards to PRP therapy for hair loss, the platelets are injected into areas of the scalp where hair has begun to fall out. A medical professional will examine your scalp thoroughly before your treatment to identify the area, or areas, most in need of attention.

How Does Platelet-rich Plasma Improve Hair Loss?

As PRP therapy boosts the number of cells undertaking repairs in the skin, it’s believed that it can cultivate stronger, healthier hair growth following a course of injections.

PRP treatments can also be highly beneficial following a hair transplant procedure. Transplantations involve harvesting hair follicles from the back and sides of the head, which are typically unaffected by pattern baldness and other types of hair loss. These donor follicles are implanted into areas with thinning hair on the scalp, such as the hairline or crown.

The two most popular types of hair transplant available are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). During FUT, surgeons cut a sample of tissue from the back of the head to harvest follicles, while FUE uses follicles sourced from multiple areas instead.

Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp after a hair transplant can contribute to effective results by:

• Making grafted hair stronger
• Enable newly implanted follicles to survive
• Promoting faster, healthier healing after transplantation
• Help inactive follicles start working again, stimulating new growth

It’s believed that PRP therapy can improve circulation at the injection sites, ensuring that follicles receive healthier blood flow and the nutrients they need to function properly. It may also reduce inflammation surrounding follicles.

If you plan to try transplantation to restore hair on one or more areas of your scalp, PRP therapy may be the ideal complement to your surgery. Not only can it encourage faster recovery, it could also leave you with better hair growth down the line.

Are There Any PRP Side Effects I Need to Know About?

One of the biggest advantages of using PRP therapy for hair loss is that only your own blood is injected into your scalp, so there’s no risk of contracting a communicable disease from the treatment. It’s a safe procedure with the potential to promote healthier, denser hair growth.

However, potential side effects are a key consideration with any procedure involving needles. Possible effects include:

• Formation of scar tissue
• Infection
• Nerve or blood vessel injuries
• Calcification at sites of injections
• Negative reaction to anesthesia

It’s crucial that you make the medical professional performing your PRP therapy aware of any bad reactions you may have had to past injections, and if you’re currently taking any medications that could cause blood thinning.

Furthermore, tell them if you’re nervous about having an injection — they should talk you through the procedure and help set you at ease for a more relaxing experience. Astra Medicare’s PRP therapy is a painless procedure performed by registered nurses in a comfortable, relaxing environment.

How Much Will I Pay for My PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?

Prices vary depending on the number of areas treated, the size of those areas, and other key factors. However, Astra Medicare is committed to delivering the highest standard of service at competitive prices. This applies to all of our treatments, including PRP therapy for hair loss.

Prices will be discussed with you during your consultation to ensure you make a fully informed decision and feel satisfied with the cost of your treatment.

Laser Hair Removal: Is It Safe for Dark Skin?

Laser hair removal offers a quick, simple, long-lasting way to achieve smoother skin. It’s ideal if you want to shave time off your grooming routine, and means you’ll finally get to ditch those expensive razors, creams, and waxing strips you’ve relied on for years.

But traditionally, laser hair removal has been problematic for people with darker skin tones. They may have struggled to find a clinic that catered to their skin type, and any that did likely felt unsatisfied with the results.

Fortunately, technological improvements mean the latest generation of laser hair removal treatments are suitable for all skin types. But you’re bound to have questions if you’ve had a negative experience with laser-based solutions in the past or you’re nervous about trying one for the first time.

We’ll answer the biggest, most important questions about laser hair removal for dark skin below. Read on for all the details you need on how this treatment works, what results it can achieve, and how to get started.

What Problems Have People with Dark Skin Experienced with Traditional Laser Hair Removal Procedures?

Older laser hair removal devices failed to remove hair from dark skin effectively because they’re designed to target the melanin (pigment) in hair shafts. The targeted hairs absorb the laser’s energy and convert it into heat. This passes into the follicle at the base of the shafts and disrupts the growth process.

Typically, these lasers needed a clear contrast between the color of the skin and the hair to work effectively. So, while patients with dark hair on white skin could expect good results, those with dark hair on dark skin would likely be disappointed. In some cases, the laser might have even caused complications — such as mild burns or pigmentation issues.

But the most innovative brands specializing in laser hair removal technology spent years working on this problem, including Candela, which created the GentleMax Pro Laser.

What is the GentleMax Pro Laser?

Candela’s GentleMax Pro Laser is a cutting-edge device designed to effectively remove hair and treat various skin conditions (such as spider veins, beard bumps, rosacea, and more). It uses 755 and 1064 nanometer (nm) wavelength lasers to treat different skin types, and penetrates deep into hair roots to damage follicles without harming the surrounding tissue.

The 755 nm laser is optimal for skin types I, II, and III on the Fitzpatrick scale (which measures skin pigment). And the 1064 nm laser is best for types IV, V, and VI. Melanin doesn’t absorb this laser wavelength as easily as it does others, which makes it safer and more effective for people with dark skin. Essentially, the laser will target the hair while the tissue remains unaffected.

How is GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal Treatment Performed?

A trained technician will handle the GentleMax Pro Laser throughout your treatment. They will move the high-precision handheld device to carefully guide the laser over the target areas of skin. Melanin in the hairs will absorb the light energy, and follicles will become damaged enough to prevent future hair growth.

The energy emitted from the handheld device penetrates the skin only: it will NEVER reach deep enough to harm crucial tissue or organs.

And the GentleMax Pro Laser offers a more comfortable experience than previous solutions. Your practitioner will apply a cooling spray to skin in the treatment areas milliseconds before they trigger the laser pulse. Just lie back, relax, and look forward to having smoother skin without the usual hassle of shaving or waxing.

Can Laser Hair Removal Safely Treat Ingrown Hairs on Dark Skin?

Yes, the GentleMax Pro Laser can reduce development of ingrown hairs. That should come as a welcome relief if you often struggle with ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing your legs, armpits, or other areas prone to hair growth.

According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, people with afro-textured hair are more likely to develop ingrown hairs than people with straighter hair, as tight curls become ingrown more easily. However, switching to laser hair removal with the GentleMax Pro should decrease your risk of developing painful ingrown hairs over time.

If you often suffer from ingrown hairs, tell your practitioner before they begin your treatment. They’ll offer further advice on how to look after affected skin and reduce the likelihood of experiencing them again.

What Do You Need to Know About Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

You should take the following steps to prepare for your procedure:

• Avoid direct sunlight and UV rays for at least two weeks prior to your laser hair removal.

• Allow your hair to grow for four to six weeks before and after your treatment. Don’t try to wax or pluck hairs out during this time.

• Clean treatment areas before your procedure.

• Wear loose clothing on the day of treatment to minimize discomfort after your procedure.

We may offer further recommendations on preparing for your laser hair removal when you schedule your appointment. If you have any questions or concerns about them, feel free to ask our friendly team. We’ll be happy to help.

What Should You Do After Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure?

Take the following precautions within the first 24 hours of your treatment:

• Stay out of the sunlight, as your skin will be more sensitive and at higher risk of burning.

• Avoid showering or bathing in hot water — use lukewarm water instead.

• Don’t use saunas.

• Avoid applying products containing strong chemicals to treated skin.

Your practitioner will offer further information on how to care for treated areas after your treatment.

All You Need to Know About Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a condition that causes skin discoloration in multiple areas of the body, including the face. This can affect people regardless of their skin color and age.

If you or a loved one have hyperpigmentation, you may be curious about the treatments available and how they create a more even skin tone. We’ll cover both points In this guide, as well as other essential details on hyperpigmentation.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation causes skin to look darker in certain areas than in others. This may manifest in small, isolated zones or bigger areas — even covering the whole body. Hyperpigmentation isn’t dangerous, but could be a symptom of an underlying condition that requires medical attention.

People can be affected by different types of hyperpigmentation. Liver spots (also known as sunspots) are caused by an excessive amount of exposure to direct sunlight, particularly in areas touched by UV radiation frequently (such as the face, hands, and back). This is fairly common in individuals who work outside for long stretches, especially without suitable clothing or sunscreen.

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation most commonly associated with pregnant women, due to their fluctuating hormones. Their melasma may clear up after they give birth, though they could still require treatment much later.

Why Do I Have Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is due to excessively high levels of melanin in the body: this is the pigment that determines the color of your skin. Sunlight can increase melanin production, as the body tries to darken the skin to protect itself against sun exposure. Skin inflammation can also lead to a boost in pigment production, as a result of a condition like eczema or acne. This is most common in those with darker skin.

Specific medications, including antimalarial or topical treatments, can contribute to hyperpigmentation too. However, this may make discolored patches appear gray rather than brown.

Addison’s disease, which affects the adrenal glands, is another potential reason for your hyperpigmentation. Discoloration may occur on the elbows, toes, lips, and knuckles. Other signs of Addison’s disease are nausea, fatigue, and dizziness. Acne, inflammation, or skin injuries can also lead to hyperpigmentation.

How Can I Treat My Hyperpigmentation?

Astra Medicare offers multiple treatments for hyperpigmentation, including:

The Perfect Derma Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel can improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and melasma. Your skin tone should look more evenly balanced and brighter after the recommended number of treatments. The Perfect Derma Peel will also target:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Enlarged pores

As a result, your skin will appear smoother and younger. However, the Perfect Derma Peel also encourages stronger production of elastin and collagen. This will leave your skin firmer, clearer, and with a stronger texture.

Your skin may feel a little sensitive during the peeling process, but that should fade once the treatment is over. It’s crucial that you avoid direct sunlight, or at least minimize your exposure, for a specific period after Perfect Derma Peel sessions.

The specialist performing your peel will provide you with advice to encourage proper healing. You may undergo a follow-up Perfect Derma Peel session after around three or four weeks. 

Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant is an increasingly popular laser treatment for patients with hyperpigmentation. A licensed skin care professional will administer the Clear + brilliant treatment by guiding a handheld laser device over the skin. This can reduce the appearance of common signs of aging and promote healthier, brighter skin with a more even tone. Hyperpigmentation should fade after the recommended number of sessions.

Glutathione IV Treatment

Injecting vital nutrients into the bloodstream directly, rather than by taking food or oral supplements, enables them to bypass the digestive process. As a result, the body will absorb more of their goodness than it would otherwise.

Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that inhibits production of melanin, the substance that creates the skin’s pigmentation. Our Glutathione IV treatment will leave skin lighter and make hyperpigmentation less visible, so your skin tone will be more balanced. It also improves the appearance of blemishes, freckles, and liver spots.

Brightening Radiance Facial

The Brightening Radiance Facial improves skin texture and health to leave it with a noticeable glow. This treatment incorporates a specialized cleansing system and carefully chosen ingredients suited to each skin type. You’ll also receive a gentle massage with quartz stones to tackle puffiness. If necessary, we’ll perform extractions to leave your skin looking even healthier.

What Else Can I Do to Treat My Hyperpigmentation?

Take Care When in Sunlight

One of the most important steps you can take when trying to improve the appearance of your skin is to be aware of sun exposure. Follow the below tips to protect yourself against sun-related hyperpigmentation:

• Try to stay out of the sun between the brightest period of the day (usually from 11am until 4pm).

• Check the exposure category in the daily UV Index forecast.

• Take advantage of shade to break up your time in direct sunlight (e.g. seek shelter in a coffee shop).

• Apply a strong sunscreen to any areas of skin exposed to the sun, using a product offering a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30+. This can feel like a chore when you do it everyday, but it’s important for healthy skin.

• Wear adequate clothing to minimize the number of areas exposed to sunlight.

Speak to Your Doctor

If you’re concerned about your hyperpigmentation, consider speaking to your doctor. They may be able to offer recommendations you haven’t thought of yet and put your mind at ease. Your doctor could switch you to a new medication if the one currently prescribed is responsible for your hyperpigmentation.

How Can You Find Out More About Effective Hyperpigmentation Treatments?

Hyperpigmentation can change the appearance of your skin and cause discoloration in multiple areas. This is most noticeable on the face, but could manifest across the entire body in extreme cases.

Astra Medicare’s team can provide you with multiple treatments for your hyperpigmentation, whether you want to feel pampered with a gentle facial or try a powerful peel. Schedule your free consultation with Astra Medicare today!

Acne: Types, Causes, and Effective Treatments for Clearer Skin

Acne affects around 20% of Canadians (5.6 million), according to the Canadian Dermatology Association. People tend to develop this condition between the ages of 12 and 24, though it may occur at any stage of life. It usually forms on the face, though it’s common on the back, chest, and shoulders too.

Acne can be a painful, severe, and stubborn condition, but various treatments are available. It may lead to scarring in some cases, but this can be treated too. However, trying to find the right treatment for your skin can be difficult — but the Astra Medicare team is dedicated to helping you make the best choice.

Join us as we take a look at what causes acne, the different types, how you can treat acne, and how to deal with scarring safely.

What Causes Acne?

Acne occurs when hair follicles or pores become clogged by a combination of dead skin cells and sebum, a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands. This oil moisturizes the skin to prevent it from becoming too dry, but it can build up over time. As a result, dead skin cells will clog together inside tiny openings in the skin.

The following can also contribute to the development of acne:

• Bacteria

• Ingrown hairs

• Excess sebum (oil) production

• Genetics

• Polycystic ovary syndrome

• Pregnancy

• Periods

• Hormones

The latter cause is one of the main reasons why acne is closely linked with teenagers, as hormones fluctuate throughout this period.

What are the Different Types of Acne?

There are two main types of acne: inflammatory and non-inflammatory. Doctors and dermatologists will distinguish one from the other based on how inflamed the breakouts appear.

Both types of acne can involve:

• Blackheads: Open clogged pores.

• Whiteheads: Closed clogged pores.

• Pustules: Pimples with pus-filled tips.

• Cysts: Painful lumps beneath the skin filled with pus.

• Nodules: Large, hard, painful lumps beneath the skin.

• Papules: Small, red bumps that may feel tender.

The most severe cases of acne usually involve cysts and nodules.

Inflammatory Acne

Inflammatory acne occurs when follicles or pores are clogged with bacteria and develop into papules, pustules, or cysts. The immune system targets the bacteria and tries to destroy it, which is why skin in the affected area(s) becomes swollen and red.

The severity of inflammatory acne varies from tiny bumps to substantial cysts that may only be removed through surgery. It’s the more severe of the two types, and may lead to pitting or scarring.

Non-inflammatory Acne

Non-inflammatory acne refers to clogged follicles or pores that become infected by bacteria. This leads to the formation of blackheads and whiteheads. However, non-inflammatory acne generally won’t cause discomfort or swelling.

What Creates Acne Scarring and How Can You Avoid It?

Acne can create brown or red marks on the skin, while more severe cases may lead to permanent scarring when nodules or cysts pop and the affected tissue is destroyed. Scars will remain visible even when the skin heals.

However, you may create acne scars if you squeeze or pick at your spots. It can be difficult to resist the urge to do so, especially when acne becomes painful, but popping pimples may leave an undesirable trace in your skin for decades. You may cover them up with make-up (such as foundation), or you might opt for treatment to reduce the visibility of scars on your face instead.

What Treatments are Available for Acne and Acne Scarring?

You can try various facial treatments to help fight acne and improve the appearance of acne scarring. People often try the following to combat inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne:

• Antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin, doxycycline)

• Steroid injections

• Contraceptive pills (to treat acne caused by hormone fluctuations)

• Draining or extraction of severe cysts

Four of the treatments available at Astra Medicare are:

The Perfect Derma Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel is a popular treatment for acne scarring. This chemical peel is packed with powerful ingredients including:

• Kojic Acid

• Salicylic Acid

• Glutathione

• TCA

• Retinoic Acid

• Vitamin C

• Phenol

The Perfect Derma Peel can be customized to suit each patient’s personal needs.

Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant can improve the appearance of tissue affected by acne and make scarring less visible. This is a skin treatment effective enough to combat common signs of aging, either after or before they appear. The laser forms microscopic treatment zones in the skin’s upper layers, and encourages healthy tissue to replace damaged skin. Clear + Brilliant

This treatment is administered through multiple sessions lasting between 15 and 20 minutes each (on average). It can make skin look healthier and more youthful.

Glutathione IV Treatment

Our Glutathione IV treatment injects glutathione directly into the bloodstream. Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that manages production of melanin, which creates the skin’s pigment. A glutathione boost can promote brighter skin, and areas affected by acne scarring should look healthier overall.

Purifying Acne Facial

Astra Medicare’s Purifying Acne Facial is ideal for acne-prone skin. It helps bring impurities to the surface of the skin to allow for easier removal. Our specialists only use products designed for sensitive skin, all containing natural, anti-acne ingredients.

This facial can cultivate a clear complexion and fight against acne that proves particularly stubborn.

How Can You Book Your Consultation for Acne Treatment?

The Perfect Derma Peel, Clear + Brilliant, the Purifying Acne Facial, and Glutathione IV treatments are available at Astra Medicare today. Any of these will help acne and acne scarring in specific ways, but should all leave your skin looking better than ever.

Body and Face Shaping Treatments: 5 Things You Need to Know

You may feel unhappy with the way certain areas of your body change as you age, whether it’s skin sagging along your jawline or extra cellulite on your thighs. But if you think you need surgery to solve these problems, think again. Body and face shaping treatments offer a simple but effective way to address numerous aesthetic concerns without invasive work.

InMode is one of the leading providers of innovative shaping solutions, with a range of state-of-the-art platforms based on radio frequency (RF) technology. Some of the biggest celebrities in the world have tried InMode treatments, and Astra Medicare brings two of the brand’s most well-known options to Brampton: Evoke and Evolve.

How do these treatments work and what benefits do they offer? Read on to discover five facts you need to know about InMode’s cosmetic treatments.

You Can Shape Your Body and Face Without Surgery

One of the major benefits of Evoke and Evolve is that they offer a surgery-free way to enhance your appearance.

Evoke is a hands-free remodeling platform designed to target multiple areas of the face. It can cultivate a more youthful look by applying RF energy to your jawline, neck, and cheeks — all of which start to sag and lose definition with age.

This technology remodels both the dermis and subdermal tissue, creating a stronger shape with no needles and no scalpels. If you’ve considered cosmetic procedures before but are nervous about the prospect of surgery or injections, these treatments are an effective alternative. Our technicians can use Evoke to deliver customizable treatments that align with your cosmetic goals.

And what about Evolve? This is based on the same RF technology and targets several parts of the body at the same time. Treatments are customized after a consultation with one of our technicians. Take the time to discuss your needs with our team honestly, and we’ll answer your questions to ensure you understand what’s involved.

You Don’t Need Downtime for Recovery

Downtime can be a problem after cosmetic surgery. Depending on the extent of the procedure, you may require days or weeks away from your usual routine. That can mean missing out on work or leisure activities while your body recovers.

Fortunately, there’s no downtime involved with Evoke and Evolve treatments. Our team will undertake the process and you’ll be free to get on with the rest of your day. As a result, body and face shaping is easier to fit into even the most packed schedule. There’s no reason to take time off work or avoid those activities that mean so much to you.

The non-surgical nature of Evoke and Evolve shaping solutions makes them a valuable option for anyone who wants to increase definition in one or more areas. It also combats common signs of aging, including wrinkles and cellulite.

We’ll discuss the procedures in detail during your consultation, and make sure you feel comfortable with the entire process from start to finish.

You Can Reshape Multiple Areas of Your Body At the Same Time

The Evolve body shaping platform is designed to treat various areas with the same transformative results typically reserved for invasive surgical procedures. You may find this option more appealing than traditional cosmetic treatments, especially if you dislike the idea of having general anaesthetic or undergoing reshaping with scalpels and liposuction.

Evolve can be used to reshape the following parts of the body:

• Upper arms
• Inner thighs
• Outer thighs
• Back (or “bra fat”)
• Underneath buttocks
• Sides (“love handles” and “muffin top”)

Fatty deposits in these areas can be frustrating — and stubborn. You may spend hours on the treadmill or lifting weights as you strive to burn them away. But Evolve makes it simpler than ever to streamline and enhance those challenging areas without surgery. It can trigger significant changes in skin, muscle tone, and adipose tissue with lasting results.

InMode Shaping Works With All Skin Types

The InMode body and face shaping treatments available at Astra Medicare are safe and effective for all skin types and genders. That means Evoke and Evolve may be suitable for more patients than other, more complex procedures.

You Can Tighten, Trim, and Tone for Comprehensive Body Shaping

Evolve shapes the body with the Tite, Trim, and Tone approaches:

Tite

Evolve Tite remodels skin and enhances its appearance with RF energy. It incorporates several applicators (all hands-free) to administer balanced heating to both the skin and the layer of tissue beneath.

This allows for effective remodeling that caters to different body shapes and sculpting preferences. For example, you may want to focus on small but visible pockets of fat at your sides that refuse to disappear regardless of your fitness regimen. Evolve Tite can do that for you.

Trim

Evolve Trim heats subcutaneous fat at its deepest levels with focused thermal energy. It can address cellulite around the thighs and buttocks that may be difficult to remove otherwise.

Tone

Toning muscle anywhere on the body can be a long, arduous process. You might spend months lifting weights or doing exercises to increase definition and build a more toned physique. But that’s not viable for many people who work long hours and have various responsibilities demanding their attention.

However, Evolve Tone can encourage muscles to become stronger and more defined over time. The applicators emit electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to cause muscular contraction involuntarily. You may be able to improve your body’s appearance in an easier, more straightforward way with Evolve Tone.
