Thermage provides a perfect treatment to slow down the signs of aging in the face. As we age our facial muscles begin to droop due to gravity; skin collagen also begins to break down and skin loses its elasticity, all resulting in loose hanging skin in certain areas of the face. Treating the mid/lower facial area will alleviate the sagging of the jawline and contour the area below the chin to reverse some of the sagging.

Angie from Toronto Asks Dr Gidon:
Are there any serious side effects of Thermage?
It is very rare to have any side effects at all with Thermage. In the past, with the old treatment parameters, there were reports of swelling, redness, bumps, and blisters on or around the treated area. These side effects disappear in a few days in most cases. A rare (occurring less than one tenth of a percent) but longer lasting side effect can be surface irregularities on the skin. The possibility of this side effect is dramatically reduced when performed in the presence of experienced dermatologists.
Isolaz for Treatment of Acne and Rosacea
We are proud to introduce a new and breakthrough treatment for mild to moderate acne and rosacea. Isolaz uses a combination of photopneumatic energy that combines a vacuum and broad band light (BBL) to treat acne. The vacuum removes blockages in the pores, including blackheads, dirt, oil and dead cells, and the BBL destroys bacteria and shrinks oil glands. This combination purifies the skin from the inside out. It is a safe, painless, effective treatment with no downtime. All skin types can be treated with the pneumatic pore purification. The BBL may not be suited for very dark complexions.
