LATISSE is finally available in Canada
Latisse is a medical treatment to enhance the length and prominence of eyelashes. It has finally been approved by Health Canada and will be available only in a doctor’s office as of November.

Originally, the drug in Latisse was used as a treatment for glaucoma. Patients discovered their eyelashes were longer while using the medication. The Latisse solution is applied to your upper eyelashes once a day with an applicator brush. Within 8 weeks, you will see visible results. Typically it takes up to 16 weeks to achieve maximum results. It’s not an illusion – your own lashes are actually growing. Full, thick, natural lashes are now possible without mascara!

Latisse is made by Allergan, the same company that makes Botox. It has sold over one and half million bottles in the U.S. and is still the only prescription treatment approved for thin or sparse eyelashes.

UltraShape Version 3 sets the bar even higher!
When UltraShape was introduced in Canada in 2007, it set the standard as the most effective non-surgical method to get rid of unwanted fat without pain, side effects or downtime. In March of this year, Cosmedica was chosen as the first clinic in the world to obtain the new UltraShape Version 3. This new device is not just a minor upgrade but a major re-engineering of the original. It now combines focused ultrasound with radiofrequency (RF) energy and vacuum for more effective destruction of the fat cells below the skin. The RF also firms any loose skin, all in the same 60 – 90 minute treatment.

We have treated over 70 patients with the Version 3 and the results are better and more consistent than ever. Better still, thanks to our standing as one of the world’s leading UltraShape clinics, we will again be the first clinic to receive the latest upgrade this September – an ultrasound transducer that is 25% more powerful than the existing one. We expect the best results yet with this latest improvement from a company that never rests on its laurels and constantly sets the bar higher. If you have unwanted fat bulges in the abdomen, thighs or “love handles” and are not interested in liposuction or surgery, then call us for a free consultation about the UltraShape Version 3.

Laser Hair Removal is now FAST and PAINLESS!
I never thought that there would be something new and exciting about laser hair removal worth writing about. That was before we obtained the new LightSheer DUET laser a few months ago. It has revolutionized this procedure by making the treatments up to five times faster and virtually painless! This is the first laser we have ever purchased that elicited spontaneous emails from our patients literally thanking us for getting it.

How fast is it? Well, a man’s chest or back can now be done in 15 minutes instead of one hour. A woman’s full legs and bikini now takes 45 minutes instead of 2 ½ hours. And best of all, patients no longer need to apply messy numbing creams beforehand as there is little or no discomfort.

If you’ve ever been tempted to put away that razor or wax for good but had heard that laser treatments were painful and tedious, then the new DUET laser is what you’ve been waiting for. The good news is that the costs of treatments are the same as with ordinary lasers and start as low as $39.00. Call for a free consultation
