It has often been said that the eyes are the 'windows to the soul'. The focal point of the face, eyes reveal much about a person.

With age and sometimes due to heredity, the upper eyelid tissue becomes thinner and less elastic, resulting in a drooping effect. In the extreme, this can lead to visual restriction.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid rejuvenation, is a procedure that can "freshen-up" the eyes as well as the entire face - restoring a rested, more youthful appearance.

Dr. Antoniak performs this surgery using the latest laser technology in our accredited surgical facility under light anesthetic sedation. This technique minimizes bleeding and bruising thereby decreasing healing time and leaves the thinnest of scars.

Through a strategically placed incision, the procedure may involve removal of excess skin and fatty tissue. Because it is placed in the natural contour of the upper eyelid, the incision is camouflaged upon healing. Discomfort is minimal with downtime usually 7 to 10 days.

So if you feel your eyes no longer reflect the 'windows to your soul' give us a call to book a consult and we will be happy to discuss your specific surgical needs with you.

GentleWaves LED Photomodulation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improves the appearance of sun-weathered skin. GentleWaves is a natural non-thermal process that uses gentle LEDs emitting less energy than a 25 watt light bulb to improve the appearance of aging without skin tissue injury or patient discomfort.

GentleWaves is the first device to break the code of LED Photomodulation Technology. The key to the science behind GentleWaves lies in using gentle light energy at specifically selected proprietary codes for optimum effectiveness. The modulated light is then delivered to target treatment areas by sophisticated plused technology.

In a recent study 90 patients underwent 8 GentleWaves treatments 62% achieved improved appearance of skin around the eyes, 36% around the upper lip and 26% saw improvment of skin roughness around the eyes. Continued improvement in patients' appearance was observed for 4 months after the last treatment session.

GentleWave LED Information

 

 

 

 

The skin naturally contains millions of adipocytes, cells that are designed to store fats. These cells can swell up to 60 times their initial size. They deform the fibrous network and become trapped, forming stubborn fatty deposits which are difficult to break down. Due to the resulting compression, circulation is impeded. Deep down tissues are infiltrates, sometimes causing discomfort. Cellulite begins to take hold on the surface and the skin appears to be dimpled and mottled.

This fabulous new product from one of Canada's leading skincare companies is designed to target this common problem. Here is how it works:-

The key ingredients of this product are Synephrine an highly active compound isolated from bitter orange, initiates the release of fatty acids and activates the breakdown of lipids in fat cells of adipose tissue. Caffeine an alkaloid found in coffee, tea and kola nuts and stimulates fat breakdown, blocks phosphodiesterase - an enzyme that inhibits fat breakdown. Glaucine an alkaloid found in several different plant species such as the Glaucium Flavum, regulates the formation of fat tissue in the body, stimulates fat breakdown and inhibits the appearance of new adipocytes by calcium flow regulation.

* Helps to break down lipids in the fat cells of the adipose tissue
* Visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite
* Reduces the formation of excess fatty deposits
* Improves the drainage and water distribution throughout tissues
* Restores skin firmness & tone
