Pigmentation treatment, Mississauga
Sun spots, melasma and uneven tone have different causes, and the wrong treatment can make some of them worse. A dermatologist diagnoses your pigment first, then plans treatment.
What it treats
Medical grade peels chosen by depth for the concern in front of us, not a single peel offered to everybody. Prescribed rather than picked from a menu.
Flat brown spots from years of sun. Often respond well to targeted laser.
Hormonal, patchy pigment that can worsen with heat and the wrong laser. Managed carefully, usually with peels and skin care first.
Diffuse uneven pigment across the face, chest and hands.
Darker patches left after acne or irritation, common in deeper skin tones.
Improved over a course of peels and a consistent home routine.
Examined as a medical question first. That is the advantage of a dermatology practice.
How it works
Nothing is treated until it has been examined by a physician led team, and nothing is repeated until it has been reviewed.
A physician or medical aesthetician assesses your skin type, pigment risk and what you are already using. Retinoids and some medications change what is safe.
Some skin, particularly skin prone to pigment change, needs preparing for two to four weeks. This reduces risk and improves the result.
Twenty to forty minutes. Tingling and warmth during application. You leave with a specific aftercare protocol and sun protection that is not optional.
Light peels work as a course of three to six. Medium peels are usually single treatments reviewed at four weeks.
Who you will see
Skin&Co sits inside a medical dermatology practice in Mississauga, and every plan is set by a physician. Dr. Ejaz is a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine and its Dermatology Residency Program, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Her approach is built around subtle, refined results that keep a face recognisably your own, and an honest answer when a treatment is not the right one for you.
When we say no
A consultation sometimes ends with less treatment than you expected, or none. These are the situations where we will tell you so.
Questions
It depends on the depth. Superficial peels often produce very little visible flaking. Medium peels produce several days of obvious peeling. We tell you which you are having before you book.
Light peels work as a course of three to six, two to four weeks apart. Medium peels are usually one treatment with a longer recovery.
Yes, with the right agent, the right depth and proper preparation. The wrong peel on skin prone to pigment change causes exactly the problem you came to fix.
Sometimes, with specific agents and great care. Melasma is easily worsened and needs a considered plan rather than a standard peel.
Tingling, warmth and some stinging during application, lasting minutes. Deeper peels are more intense and we talk you through it.
After a superficial peel, usually the next day. After a medium peel, not until peeling has finished, typically around a week.
