Lip fillers can help you get fuller and more voluptuous lips through a simple process. As with most procedures, there are several myths surrounding lip augmentation. Dermal fillers like collagen or ‘hyaluronic acid,’ which naturally occurs in our body, can be injected in your lips or around the mouth. Redwood Medi Spa & Wellness Centre points out some of the common confusions generally faced by users regarding fillers.

Do you have dark spots on your skin that you just can’t get rid of? Whether you call them freckles, age spots, liver spots or acne scars, it’s likely that you have some type of hyperpigmentation on your face and body. This common skin condition occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its colour.

Whether you are a teenager or an adult, the sight of a pimple on your face is enough to disturb your peace of mind. What’s even more tormenting is the dark mark or scar that persists long after the acne is gone. Everyone loves flawless skin, and that noticeable mark or scar is bothersome enough to dent your self-esteem.

Our skin is the largest organ that protects us from the elements, acts as a barrier and houses organs. But due to our busy lives, we often forget to take care of it and end up ignoring the matter. A medical spa can offer rejuvenating therapies to keep the skin youthful and fresh. It offers many of the same treatments as a regular spa, along with nonsurgical medical aesthetics services with medical supervision.

Has your skin lost its lustre? Do you have wrinkles and age spots? Too much exposure to the sun, repetitive contraction of facial muscles and gradual loss of elasticity could be responsible. Smoking and sunbathing further speed up the aging process. Laser resurfacing, also referred to as laser peel, is an effective and non-surgical solution to these problems.

Normally, every individual sheds about 50–100 hair strands a day. Although this may sound alarming, new ones grow back naturally to replace them. Bald patches or thinning occurs when you lose more hair than is replenished. If you are looking for hair loss treatments, Redwood Beauty Group Inc. is the place for you. If you have tried several cures which were ineffective, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment could be the best option for you. It helps promote hair regrowth and does not have many side-effects. We also offer laser resurfacing and medical rejuvenation services.

The phenomenon of the medical spa (often shortened to “medi spa”) has been popping up more and more in the Toronto area and people are finding out what these trendy establishments have to offer. To get the most out of the experience, it’s best to educate yourself on what medi spas are and what they do before choosing one.

You've probably heard that IPL photofacials work wonders for reducing the signs of aging, blemishes and damage to your face's skin. And the rumours are all true! During each non-invasive facial, intense pulsed light (IPL) penetrates into the skin, boosting collagen levels and banishing imperfections, while constricting blood vessels to reduce redness and signs of age.

If you're on the fence about trying a photofacial, Redwood Medi Spa & Wellness Centre, your trusted Toronto spa, knows six great reasons why this treatment could benefit you. Let's chat about it.

Reversing the signs of aging and skin damage is made possible with laser skin resurfacing. With each treatment, the skin's collagen production is stimulated naturally, increasing its elasticity and tightness. As a result, your body continues to heal itself long after the session ends.

At Redwood Medi Spa & Wellness Centre, a leader in laser resurfacing in Toronto, our clients often ask how often they should come in for treatments. We're happy to talk about your options below.

Hyperpigmentation, or dark spots on the skin, is a common affliction among Canadians. Characterized by an increase in melanin, these markings can take the form of freckles, age spots, sun spots, and melasma (also called “the mask of pregnancy”).

Thankfully, there are solutions available.
