What is it that makes a face look beautiful? What are the differences between very attractive and less attractive men and women? Many focus on one side of the face looking different than the other side. In reality each side of the face is a sibling to the other, they are not twins. Some of the most beautiful people in the world are very asymmetrical. With aging, accumulated sun damage, smoking and genetic influences, faces all sink, deflate, sag, descend, and wrinkle. It is not facial asymmetry that makes people look older, it is the loss of youthful features.
In our society, people with facial attractiveness are assessed by us to
be more successful, contented, pleasant, intelligent, sociable, exciting, and more creative than those with less attractive faces. These “perfect faces” presented to us everyday in the movies, music video‐clips, TV, fashion magazines, bill boards and commercials do not exist in reality. These virtual faces show features and characteristics that are unreachable for even the most famous super models.
We all understand that a youthful attractive face exerts a positive influence on the attitudes and behaviors of observers and how we feel about ourselves. The Canadian attitude, I think, is a healthy one. I find my patients that are 50 or 60 are not trying to look 30, they just want to look awesome for their age and that is our goal at the Remington Laser Dermatology Centre. If you are
50 and looking more like 60 then we can make you look more youthful, taking many years from your former, older appearance. We all recognize the current 50 is the new 40 so why not look like it.

Combined Treatments Create Synergy
Eyelid Rejuvenation Many patients will benefit from combined treatments. Eyelid rejuvenation is a good example of combining a laser eyelid lift with Botox to create an eyebrow lift and shaping, and relax the crows feet. The Sciton laser is used to erase the lower eyelid wrinkles.
The eyes and eyelid region are the main area of focus when looking at and communicating with others. The eyelids and crows feet areas along with the mouth area serve as a barometer of chronological and environmental age. Wrinkles and baggy eyelids create an unwanted tired aged look to the entire face. Successful treatment requires an experienced Aesthetic Physician with the training, interest and focus on the eyelid areas necessary to create the best results possible. Combination treatments are usually required to create the natural awake bright relaxed look patients desire.

Volume RestorationThe aging face has never been so wel l understood, nor the treatment opt ions so var ied. Achieving opt imal
results ‐softer , smoother sk in, a younger, more youthful appearance that is both harmonious and symmetr ical ‐ requires a change in the pat ients and aesthet ic phys ic ians v iew of the aging face and i t ’s treatment. Focusing on s ingle l ines and fold‐creases l imits the range of poss ib i l i t ies in fac ia l enhancement. Successful results come from examining and treat ing the whole face‐ looking at length, width, and depth of folds and wrinkles and, most important ly , the amount of associated under ly ing volume loss in those areas. This wi l l determine the amount of f i l ler product required to create the desired restorat ion of fac ia l volume loss. Pat ients and aesthet ic phys ic ians wi l l have the WOW factor! Results from treat ing mult ip le zones at the same v is i t leads to outstanding c l in ica l results , much better pat ient sat isfact ion, greater product‐f i l ler longevity and less frequent touch‐ups.
Faces Sink, Sag & Wrinkle Faces sink, sag and wrinkle ‐ most of us are sinkers. Restoring facial volume is like filling your gas tank, most patients choose to “top it up” periodically. Facial Maintenance is like maintaining your teeth, car, house and your hair. Botox & Fillers are the magic for maintenance. Most patients choose to touch up their fillers with every 2nd Botox treatment, approximately every 8 months. The amount required for full correction is never the same as the original treatment.

Luscious Lips Luscious lips are a feature of signature photos in every fashion magazine. Not everyone is blessed with a pair of perfect lips. The few who are, will not get to keep them forever without a little help. The lip region serves as a barometer of both chronological and environmental age. The aging and wrinkling of the lip zone are influenced by at least four negative factors: accumulated sun exposure, genetics, smoking, and the natural aging process.
The “Remington Lip” is an artistic technique often using a combination of laser treatments to rejuvenate the wrinkled, aged lip zone plus injectable enhancement procedures. (Not to be confused with enlargement.)
What treatment is best for me?
A single procedure or a combination technique may be required to give you the lips that look natural and suit your goals and personality.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating & Odor) Excessive sweating called Hyperhidrosis is a real problem that affects many people. If you have a challenge with unwanted sweating of the armpits, palms, feet or your face we can help with Botox Therapeutic treatments. You won’t have to worry about where you may be going, who you will see, what you will be doing and what you’re going to wear. Botox treatments are a maintenance concept with repeat treatments required at 6 to 12 month intervals depending on individual patient response.
“Excessive Sweating once
controlled my life.
Now with Botox , I’m in charge”
Keep The SmileErase The Wrinkles
Smiling is a positive feature; however with time and squinting, smile lines in the crow’s feet area become permanent at rest. Frown lines give the impression of being sad, mad or worried. Some patients refer to this genetic or habit pattern as their thinking, concentration, or squinting lines. This negative look makes patients look stressed and unapproachable. The demeanor has nothing to do with how you feel, but it does transmit a negative message to others. Botox can soften and relax these dynamic lines, changing your outside appearance. Botox creates a much more approachable, confident look to your face.

Before Sciton Laser Resurfacing 8 Months After Sciton Laser Resurfacing
Facial Wrinkles In a competitive job market, a youthful appearance is a marker for a vigorous creative employee. Signs of aging including facial wrinkles, uneven tone and texture, and blotchy pigmentation have been treated in the past with chemical peels, dermabrasion, numerous home remedies, and more recently with the Sciton Erbium:YAG laser. Most patients are now seeking a way to address aging and sun damage without the healing time associated with invasive treatments. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments have supplied the answer for many of our patients.
COMBINED TREATMENTS
Many patients will benefit from the combination of IPL treatments with other modalities. Combined treatments may involve Sciton laser resurfacing in the perioral area (around the mouth) where the wrinkling is extensive. The use of Botox and various fillers, including Restylane & Perlane, can serve to enhance the benefits of laser treatments and improve the overall appearance and satisfaction of the patient. These combined approaches are the wave of the future.
The treatment of all of the aspects of photo‐aged skin is of great interest. The use of the multi‐wavelength laser and light systems allows us to address these concerns. In our Western society there is a startling bias against aging and the elderly. In my practice, those who have taken action to reverse the signs of aging, including sun damage and wrinkles, feel much better about their appearance.

TelangiectasiaTelangiectasia are small unsightly red, purple or blue blood vessels found along the surface of the skin on the face, upper chest, neck and rarely on other parts of the body. Similar vessels are found on the legs nicknamed spider veins.

Sun exposure over a lifetime creates many changes depending on your skin type, genetics and the amount of sun accumulated. The appearance of sun damage may be texture and tone changes, irregular brown blotchy pigmentation, facial blood vessels [spiders and telangiectasias] easy flushing, wrinkles or thinning of the cheeks and most important actinic keratoses [AK’s]. AK’s present as rough scaly spots that feel like a wart, or sharp like a piece of glass in your skin. These precancerous lesions occur most often on the face, ears, chest, outer forearms and backs of the hands.

Scarring is usually caused by acne, injury, burns or surgery. Scars can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and even impact one’s self esteem. Most patients seek treatments to improve the appearance and the texture and tone of the scars.
Successful improvement of scars often requires a combination of treatment options. The timing and number of treatments required are variable.

The effective and safe use of the CO2 laser has been facilitated by advances in the UltraPulse computerized CO2 laser system. The use of the UltraPulse CO2 laser simplifies many procedures, is effective for treating an expanded number of cutaneous lesions and is the preferred treatment for an increasing number of others.
The advantage of having a bloodless field makes it possible to perform selected cutaneous surgery in patients on anticoagulants and patients with bleeding disorders. The laser sterilizes as it incises or vaporizes and does not interfere with pacemakers or electronic monitoring devices.

Facial Moles
Seborrheic Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses (SK) are raised growths on the surface of the skin. There may be just one or clusters of dozens. They usually start off light tan in color, and then may darken to dark brown or nearly black. They vary in size. These are not contagious and do not spread. They have no relationship to skin cancer and do not pose a health risk, but they are often annoying and visually distracting. The CO2 laser gives an excellent cosmetic result in people who desire removal of these lesions.

New Therapeutic Options
Fractional Laser devices to treat sun damage, early wrinkles and to improve scars ‐ including acne scars
Facial Volume restoration ‐ using the new fillers in creative ways to restore a youthful volume and contour to the face.
Liposonix fat buster ‐ non surgical technique using Ultrasound to take inches off your waist line, hips, love handles and thighs.
There is an alarming number of doctors, nurses and dentists opening Aesthetic Cosmetic Clinics who have no special training or experience in skin care or in the creative art of the face. The Remington Laser Dermatology Centre is seeing an increasing number of patients with poor cosmetic results and often unexpected outcomes from Doctors & Nurses that are not the fault of the Laser, filler or Botox, but of the inexperienced user. Lasers, Botox or fillers are not magic. It is the trained, artistic hand that is magic.
At a buffet we have a “menu of options” ‐ from the appetizers to “lighter meals”, to the more complete “full course”. This option concept is similar for todays aesthetic cosmetic procedures. Depending on your age, skin type, degree of sun damage and your goals, you have a menu of options. Because with time, we all sink, sag and wrinkle, most of my new patients will start with Botox and Fillers. They are an outstanding marriage that works well together. More of my patients are realizing their genetically determined baggy eyelids are making them look tired and older. Some of my happiest patients are the ones that choose the Laser Blepharoplasty [Eyelid Lift] as their main focus.
Dr. Remington will be happy to direct you to an equivalent cosmetic centre to ours in your area of the world.
