Skin Resurfacing in Toronto

Skin discolouration and wrinkles from sun damage is a common complaint. For those patients who can comply with daily cream application and do not develop problematic redness or flaking, the most effective products are Vitamin A creams. We do not sell skin care products, as the most effective products (Vitamin A creams) are only available by prescription in the pharmacy. Many patients have difficulty maintaining a strict daily skin care regimen, and opt instead for our medium-depth chemical peels. Medium-depth chemical peels (trichloracetic acid) remove the epidermis (vs. discolorations) and stimulate the dermis (vs. wrinkles) of the skin to tighten and form new collagen. Although you will require a week or two for cosmetic recovery following a medium depth peel, there is no ‘non-invasive’ laser technique that can match it for effectiveness. We also perform dermabrasion, the gold standard for treating particularly deep wrinkles as seen around the mouths of smokers.
