A Real truSculpt iD Review

Lisa is definitely one of our favorite Toronto Instagrammer/bloggers because she's just adorable and her accounts are full of all kinds of great reviews and experiences! We were thrilled that she chose to visit Scarborough Laser Surgery recently with concerns about that one common problem area that plagues so many of us - her abdomen. In the video below she gives an honest and realistic truSculpt iD review and shares her results. Lisa explains that although she has always been very small, her waist has always been her problem area. (Something you would never have known because this girl knows how to dress and she always looks beautiful!)...

Is truSculpt iD Worth It?

The question of whether truSculpt id is worth it is a valid one. There are costs involved and anyone considering a body contouring procedure would want to make sure they are spending their money wisely. I was interested in what the public had to say about this question and a quick search revealed some interesting comments on Real Self. One survey showed that 100% of people believed that the procedure was worth it, which matches what we have seen in our clinic. The areas treated varied from abdomen to back to thighs. For an area like the chin or another small area we would still use truSculpt 3D. What...

Is a Scar Always a Permanent Mark?

It's safe to say that everyone has scars. Some of these scars tell interesting stories, such as the time you had a surgery or fell down and bumped your head as a child. Some people embrace their scars and make them a part of themselves and others just wish they would disappear, especially if they resulted from a more traumatic event like a car accident. Scar removal can be achieved in many cases when scars are treated by an experienced technician. At the very least, they can be greatly minimized One type of scar that can be especially troubling is a keloid. A keloid is a raised, bumpy...

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Your Procedure

We strongly encourage anyone considering any cosmetic procedure to do their research and make sure they get the answers to their questions before jumping in. After all, not only will the procedure potentially significantly enhance your appearance, there are also money and risks involved. Most people do not hesitate to ask their plastic surgeon questions but this post is more about important questions to ask yourself. Question One:  Do I have realistic expectations? Realistic expectations are a very important part of any procedure. Sadly, instead of embracing the things that make them individual, some people are looking for a total physical transformation that is just not realistic. If you...

Introducing truSculpt iD to Our Clinic!

Both devices use Monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat up the fat layer under the skin Both devices can provide a 24% reduction in fat after just one treatment (results do vary from person to person) It takes 12 weeks to see...

My Lip Enhancement Experience

I can't say I have never had my lips done before. Last time I went with a very subtle lip enhancement and skipped the borders. I think I was afraid of the duck face look and just wanted to give it a try anyway. I did love it - it made my lips look fuller but it was so subtle that no one noticed. This time, I tried the new Belotero lip product - Belotero contour for the borders and Belotero shape for the red of the lips. I had an event the following day which is the WORST time to get a lip enhancement done but I...

The Five Wrinkle Removers

Wrinkles are inevitable but rather than embracing them, most of us dread them and some of us do everything we can to fend them off for as long as possible. Wrinkles can tell a story and some people swear they even know when and how they got them (and sometimes who gave them the wrinkles too!) So what are these wrinkle removers? A good skin care routine. This involves gentle cleansers, great moisturizers and skin repairing creams that can do much to prevent and improve existing wrinkle damage. Botox or Xeomin. Botox type treatments are particularly useful for the upper part of the face. This can be used...
