Before beginning any procedure, our Oakville aestheticians always inform customers about the downtime and aftercare.

  • We provide various laser treatments including hair removal, skin resurfacing, pigmentation correction, and skin tightening. Our advanced laser technology ensures precise and effective results with minimal discomfort.

Injectables

  • What are injectables?

  • How long do the effects of injectables last?

  • The duration varies depending on the type of injectable. Botox® typically lasts 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last between 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired results.

  • Most clients experience minimal discomfort during injectable treatments. We use fine needles and can apply topical numbing agents to enhance your comfort. Our skilled injectors ensure precise and gentle treatment.

Body Contouring

  • What is CoolSculpting®?

  • CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It effectively targets areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.

  • How many CoolSculpting® sessions are needed?

  • The number of sessions required varies based on the treatment area and your goals. Many clients see results after one session, but additional sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Our professionals will create a customized treatment plan for you.

  • Are there any side effects of CoolSculpting®?

  • CoolSculpting® can cause temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days to weeks. CoolSculpting® is a safe, effective treatment with no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after.

Skin Rejuvenation

  • What is LED light therapy?

  • LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin using therapeutic light waves. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone, and minimizes pore size. The treatment is painless and requires no downtime.

  • How does microneedling work?

  • Microneedling involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process promotes skin renewal, reducing scars, fine lines, and uneven texture. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results.

  • What are the benefits of chemical peels?

  • Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin. They can improve the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and sun damage. The peel’s depth and strength can be tailored to your specific skin type and concerns.

  • What should I expect after my treatment?

  • Post-treatment effects depend on the procedure you received. You might experience slight redness, swelling, or irritation, which usually resolves quickly. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to help you maintain and enhance your results. Our team is always available to address any post-treatment concerns or questions.
