Cosmetic concerns
Sun damage, redness, fine lines, loss of firmness, unwanted hair. Find your concern and we will show you what actually helps — and say so when nothing will.
How to use this
The same InMode platform that treats dry eye treats sun damage, redness and skin laxity. That is how an aesthetics practice ended up inside two optometry clinics, and why a consultation here often covers both at once.
Our optometrists perform the Plexr Plus treatments; our medical aesthetician and ocular hygienists run the skin treatments. Whichever brings you in, the assessment behind it is an eye clinic’s.
Tone, texture and firmness, treated with the same equipment and the same care.
Years of Alberta sun surfacing as freckling and flat brown patches, usually across the cheeks, hands and décolleté. This is what IPL was built for — but pigment will return without proper ongoing protection.
Treatments that help
At home Sunscreen alone is not enough. Antioxidants underneath it, a hat and shade habits, and staying out of the tanning bed all matter as much as the SPF.
Persistent flushing across the cheeks and nose that makeup covers but never fixes. IPL targets the vessels driving it.
Treatments that help
At home Gentle, fragrance-free barrier repair. Harsh actives make rosacea worse.
Fine red threads around the nose and cheeks respond quickly to light. Larger vessels and varicose veins are a different problem and not something we treat — those need a vascular specialist.
Treatments that help
Laugh lines, nasolabial folds and the barcode lines above the lip. Fine lines respond well to Forma; deeper, set wrinkles need Morpheus8 or Plexr Plus. Usually a course rather than a single appointment.
Treatments that help
At home Retinol, introduced at a strength your skin can tolerate comfortably.
Skin that looks tired and no longer reflects light evenly. Resurfacing speeds up cell turnover so the fresher layer underneath comes through.
Treatments that help
At home An antioxidant serum, and an exfoliant used sparingly rather than daily.
The brown or red marks left behind after a breakout has healed. They fade on their own eventually — resurfacing makes it considerably faster.
Treatments that help
At home Vitamin C, and SPF every single day. Sun undoes this work fastest.
Blackheads and the rough, bumpy texture that comes with them, most often across the nose, chin and forehead.
Treatments that help
At home A salicylic cleanser, and a moisturizer that will not add to the problem.
Raised skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses and similar benign marks. Plexr Plus removes them point by point, with no cutting.
Treatments that help
Permanent reduction, anywhere there is unwanted hair from head to toe.
Anywhere there is unwanted hair, from head to toe. DiolazeXL has a large treatment window and a chilled sapphire tip, so bigger areas are genuinely quick.
Treatments that help
Not sure which of these fits? That is what a consultation is for — and we will tell you plainly if a treatment will not give you what you are hoping for.
