Hair thinning and hair loss affect how we feel about ourselves. Out clinic offers non-surgical ways to stop hair thinning and prevent further loss. Unfortunately, we cannot "regrow" hair follicles that have died, but we can sustain the hair follicles that are still there or are "quiet", by using out 3-part therapy.
Our 4 part therapy includes:
1. Home topical hair growth treatment - a compounded mixture of ingredients that you apply 1-2 times per day, in the comfort of your home. This is sent directly to your home, from the Trutina Pharmacy.
2. Topical PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) - PRP is rich in growth factors, and out hair follicles need growth factors to stay alive. We take 1-4 tubes of your blood, extract the growth factors, and then apply it to the area that are thinning. This gives the hair follicles healthy "food" to keep growing and maintaining your hair. We recommend 3 treatment over 3 month to start the process. It can take 3-6 months to see your hair growth improvements. You will need a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months to keep the hair follicles healthy.
3. LLLT Light Therapy - we use this after every PRP treatment, but you are also able to come into the clinic, in-between your PRP sessions, and this will continue to maintain adequate blood flow to the hair follicles.
4. Prescription Options - to manage hair growth (topical and oral)
Come in for a consultation to see if this is something that will work for you and your goals!

Scars can be quite frustrating. The best time to treat a scar is when it is a new scar. Treatments for scars are best done before the scar becomes "permanent".
But, whether the scar is a newer or older scar, most scars will need more than one type of treatment. Which treatment depends on several factors: the age of the scar, does it have a colour (pigmented) or no colour (hypo-pigmented), does it have a cavity or does it "pop out" of the "normal" skin. We have several options to manage all of these concerns, but not one treatment will take care of all problems.
*Microdermabrasion - this would take off extra layers of skin, over the scar, to give a short-lived improvement to the look of the scar.
*Chemical Peels - will improve the texture and colour of a scar. Sometimes we can do a chemical peel and another treatment on the same day.
*Medical CIT - depending on the serum that we apply after the treatment, it will improve the texture, colour and fine lines within the scar.
*BBL - this is a great way to improve the colour of the scar as well as the overall brightness the skin. This is a great option in combination with other treatments, as it has been shown, over a 10 year period, to maintain the youthfulness of your skin.
*Fractora - this option works on the pigment, texture and depth of the scar. By using micro-needling along with radio-frequency stimulation, we can create new and healthier collagen.
Touch ups may be needed, for all of these treatments, and the initial treatment plan may change, as your scar heals. This will be reassessed throughout the treatment.

We like to think of these treatments as "wrinkle, relaxation" treatments. Our goal is not to give a "frozen" face. When we inject neurotoxin in a man, we use different techniques to maintain a masculine look. You look like you, but refreshed.
When injected, this product will stop muscle contraction, to prevent wrinkles from forming and smooth our wrinkles that have already started. It can also be used to treat migraine headaches, excessive sweating, jaw clenching.

This is a non-surgical way to dissolve areas of unwanted fat. It is made from 2 biological "fat dissolvers" (these exist in our own gallbladder to dissolve the fats we eat!) - Deoxycholic Acid and Phosphatidylcholine.We can use this to dissolve those packets of unwanted fat - those areas that do not seem to go away with diet changes and regular exercise. Depending on the area and the thickness of the area being treated, you may need 2-6 treatments to get your desired results. Once the fat is dissolved, it cannot come back!

There are at least 2 ways to manage hyperhydrosis:
Botulinum Toxin Injections—using Botox or Xeomin injections. This can be used in the underarms, palms of the hands or soles of the feet. This treatment is temporary, usually lasting 6 months and eliminates a minimum 50% of sweating. For an extra fee, we can use topical numbing cream prior to the treatment. Some insurance companies will cover this treatment.
Miradry is a permanent way to eliminate at least 82% sweating and order in the underarm area. It can also eliminate 72% of underarm hair as well.
