When it comes to skin care, you have a variety of options ranging from acne treatments and chemical peels to fillers and Botox. Calgary men and women alike turn to professionals at the Total Skin Care Centre to determine the appropriate skin care options for any number of conditions. As you consider scheduling your own skin consultation, it's not a bad idea to learn more about the options available to you.

Popular skin treatment options include:
Fillers
Botox
Chemical Peels
Acne Treatments
Aesthetics

Fillers
Fillers are a popular option that are used to correct lines and creases. Minimally invasive, the procedure involves injecting a soft tissue augmentation product such as Juvéderm ULTRATM. One of the fastest, least invasive options you can use to gain a more youthful appearance is the use of fillers. Calgary dermatologists can perform this skin care treatment during a single office visit. Results are instantaneous and your recovery time is minimal.

Botox
Botox is a skin care treatment that goes beyond merely filling in lines, wrinkles, and creases; it helps ...
... balance underlying muscle activity for a more youthful appearance. Botox relaxes lines by stopping the underlying muscles, producing a softer smoother skin surface. When choosing Botox, it's important to first undergo an extensive skin consultation with your dermatologist to ensure that this is the right procedure for you. Botox is a safe product for most patients, though pregnant, breast-feeding, and nerve-damaged patients should not undergo Botox treatments.

Chemical Peels
Calgary dermatologists often recommend chemical peels to patients looking for a healthier complexion. Chemical peels can reduce the size of pores, lighten dark spots, soften fine lines, improve firmness and elasticity, improve skin color, and give you a more radiant complexion. The chemical peel skin care procedure involves applying glycolic acid to the skin which removes dead skin cells, revealing fresh, brighter-looking skin.

Acne Treatments
If you have acne, one of the most popular acne treatments is an acne facial. This deep cleaning facial reduces oil, adds moisture, and smooths rough skin. An acne facial is generally one portion of a more intensive acne treatment plan. For example, depending on the decisions you and your dermatologist make during your skin care consultation, you may also be prescribed medicated cleansers or oral medications.

Aesthetics
In addition to fillers, Botox , Chemical Peels, and acne treatments, other skin treatment options include waxing, facials, manicures, pedicures, back treatment, and Latisse for longer, thicker eyelashes. While most of these aesthetics are available at salons, some are only available from health care professionals. For example, Latisse is a medication. Latisse was originally prescribed to glaucoma patients. One of its side effects was longer, thicker eyelashes. After discovering this aesthetic benefit, it was approved for cosmetic use.
