May 29, 2013 by Erin

Many women (and men) practice all the right preventative and restorative suggestions when it comes to the appearance of their face, but less are aware of the age giveaway that hands can reveal. Environmental factors such as sun damage and dry weather contribute to this problem as well as harsh soaps and a lack of moisture. The result is aged and weathered hands with brown spotting and at most times, worse than on the face.

This is where we come in. We can educate patients about prevention, and when its too late for that, we can help to assist in the correction process.

Uplifting Results!

May 27, 2013 by Erin

Gravity is perhaps the number one enemy of aging skin. As the law of physics would have it, skin sags as we age. Folds of skin collect at the bottom of the face, resulting in what is commonly referred to as “turkey neck”. One in three women are bothered by the effects of sagging and what many of these women don’t realize is that the aesthetic treatment of sagging skin is one of the most important ways to achieve an overall youthful look.

This is where facial fillers and Botox come in. Fillers are formulated to get underneath the supporting cushions of skin to do more than just fill crevices or grooves, but actually re-contour the jaw and chin. Botox is used to relax the muscles that pull our faces downward and let the upper facial muscles do their job in lifting the face.

Here at CosMedics, Dr. Singh has mastered such techniques and makes a positive difference in the lives of patients daily, as he restores each individuals youthful appearance. Book a complimentary consultation today and learn more about what these treatments can do for you.

Here at CosMedics, we like to help our patients prepare and protect themselves from the effects of the season changes. A common side effect of sun damage is brown spotting on the skin. The cost of correction of such problems is high so we encourage patients to be educated and active when it comes to prevention. This is where our Daily Moisturizer comes in handy. Its formulated with SPF 41 so when applied in the morning, it will provide the protection needed throughout the day to combat the damaging effects of the sun. This sheer oil-free moisturizer is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, making it ideal for all skin types.

Next, we must not forget about the lips! For beautiful, healthy lips all summer long, CosMedics has created the ultimate lip gloss. The gloss has an SPF of 15 providing great protection from the sun. This product is designed to increase the volume of your lips and hydrate as it reduces appearance of furrows and fine lines. Its blend of ingredients will gently exfoliate dead skin cells and increase volume while protecting them from UV damaging rays. Vitamin E is added to protect delicate lips from free radical damage. Your lips will feel soft, supple and sexy! *Excellent for both males and females.

Come on by the clinic and stock up for summer! If it’s too late for prevention, book a complimentary consultation today and learn what we can do for you! Enjoy your summer!
