What are the benefits of shockwave therapy?2022-12-14T16:55:48-05:00

Shockwave therapy is quickly becoming the gold standard for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) and musculoskeletal pain (MSK) because of its many benefits. Along with having an excellent cost vs effectiveness ratio, this treatment is non-invasive and requires no anesthesia. New research and the growing popularity of shockwave therapy in orthopaedics, rehabilitation, and sport medicine, prove competitive athletes through to retired gold enthusiasts can find relief with this advanced treatment.

Is there any downtime associated with shockwave therapy?2022-12-14T16:49:57-05:00

After each of your shockwave therapy sessions, you can return to most regular activities immediately. Some temporary soreness or swelling may be experienced for the first couple days post-treatment, but this is expected as the shockwaves stimulate an inflammatory response to naturally heal the treatment area. Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication post-treatment as it can slow down the recovery process. 

Who should not try shockwave therapy?2022-12-14T16:43:03-05:00

Those with circulation or nerve disorders; open wounds; pregnant or breastfeeding; deep vein thrombosis; infection; bone tumour or a metabolic bone condition; should not use shockwave therapy. Those using blood-thinning medications may not be eligible for this treatment. As with any new treatment, always consult with your family doctor.

While the actual treatment takes approximately 15 minutes, clients should expect additional time added to their visit for RN consultation.

How does shockwave therapy work?2022-12-14T16:36:42-05:00

Shockwave therapy actually uses sound waves to penetrate deeply into treatment area tendons to cause a mechanical irritation. This will cause your body to perceive the sensation as an injury and respond by sending growth factors to the treatment site, restore smooth muscle cells (restore tissue elasticity) and increase blood flow (Angiogenesis). This is an effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain (tennis elbow, etc.) and erectile dysfunction (ED). To learn more about the technology we use at Elegance Sculpting, click here.

Is shockwave therapy painful?2022-12-14T16:28:24-05:00

Despite its name, shockwave therapy does not use shocks, but actually uses sound waves. The treatment produces a mild sensation in the treatment area but is not described by clients as painful. At most, you may feel some tightness during your shockwave therapy session, but will experience immediate relief post-treatment.

How many shockwave therapy treatments will I need?2022-12-14T16:21:43-05:00

As a general rule of thumb, substantial results will be experienced after four to six treatments of shockwave therapy, one treatment per week. This, of course, will vary based on the individual. 

After the first round of sessions, we will enter a waiting period of four to six weeks as the shockwaves will continue to take effect at a cellular level. After the wait period, we are able to reassess and determine if additional maintence treatments are required.

It’s important that you stay out of direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after your Sylfirm treatment and apply an SPF 30 or greater. Avoid strenuous activities, saunas, other facials and swimming while the skin heals. Avoid touching your face and be extremely gently when cleansing.

How many thermocoagulation treatments will I need?2022-10-25T15:20:27-04:00

Is there downtime associated with thermocaogulation? 2022-10-25T15:16:51-04:00

Thermocoagulation is considered a lunchtime treatment, meaning there is little to no downtime required. It is extremely important that the micro-crust or scabs that form are not touched or removed. They will fall off on their own within three and 21 days, when the body has completed the healing process. Please note, treatment areas closer to the heart, heal faster. For instance, skin anomalies on the legs will take longer to heal. If the treated skin anomaly is on the face, cleanse the area gently using fingers and a mild facial cleanser. You may still wear makeup over the treatment area, but be gentle. Avoid any facials until the natural healing process has been completed. If the treatment area feels irritated or hot, apply a cold compress. Refrain from any strenuous physical activity, tanning beds, saunas, swimming pools or baths for 48 hours to ensure optimal healing. Apply a moisturizing heading cream four to five times a day. As always, wear an SPF of 30 or more over the treatment area.

How does thermocoagulation work?2022-10-25T15:14:35-04:00

Using high frequency currents, our thermocoagulation VascuLyse 2G RF technology is able to pin point heat energy to unwanted skin imperfection. The thermal lesion produced from this process leads to the nearly immediate elimination of the imperfect (or vein) while leaving the epidermis unharmed. The dilated section of the capillary being treated is first coagulated to solidify the blood. With the blood for interrupted at the treatment section, it will be redirected to neighbouring capillaries. Post-treatment, clients are typically will see a circular red mark at the treatment site which will turn into a micro-crust. Once this micro-crust sheds (typically within three to 21 days, do not pick at it early), the skin will heal with little risk of scarring. This is a permeant treatment.

Dermaplaning involves using a medical-grade scalpel to gently scrape away the epidermis, or top layer of your skin, along with the small hairs commonly known as peach fuzz. This is a completely manual exfoliation treatment and should be performed by a licensed esthetician. Typically, treatments take between 15 and 30 minutes and are often combined with a secondary treatment due to its priming benefits—dermaplaning increases absorption and treatment effectiveness for chemical peels, facials and laser treatments.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?2022-07-23T19:36:59-04:00

Luckily, the HELIOS IV 785™ is a lot more comfortable than traditional laser tattoo removal (some of you reading this may have even tried older technology and stopped because of the pain). With our technology at Elegance, the treatments (which can range from 20-40 minutes depending on the size of your tattoo) feel more comparable to the flick of an elastic band. Prior to beginning your treatment, a topical numbing agent can be applied to help reduce any discomfort. Some of our clients opt for this, and some are fine without—it is totally personal preference.

Is there any downtime associated with laser tattoo removal?2022-07-23T19:36:36-04:00

Yes! This is an advanced treatment that requires you follow the post-care instructions of your technician. During your consultation or first session, your laser technician will review all of the post-care instructions in detail—some of the instructions may cause you to alter your daily activity for two to three weeks after each session and one week before your next one, which booked after 6-8 weeks. This advanced treatment requires you to follow the instructions for best results and to avoid scarring and other negative side effects. As the process includes naturally scabbing, be mindful when you begin your treatment. For example, if you have a wedding coming up, give yourself at least a month prior to heal.

After each session, you’ll need to keep the area cool to reduce irruption. This could mean using a cold compress on the area for an hour or two post treatment, but also means staying out of the direct sun, hot tubs or saunas.

For the first 48 hours, you’ll need to keep the area completely dry. Warm showers are permitted after 48 hours as long as the area is gently washed with uncounted soap.

The natural process that your body goes through post-treatment will involve scabbing. We recommend utilizing aftercare ointment (coconut oil, vitamin E, etc.) to keep the area fully moisturized.

Direct sunlight of the treatment area should be avoided as much as possible throughout the entire process. The treated skin will be more sensitive to the sun’s powerful rays and exposure could lead to burning, sun damage or scarring. If direct sunlight cannot be avoided, be diligent with reapplying your SPF of 30 or greater every hour.

You’ll also want to stay hydrated throughout your entire laser tattoo removal treatment. Since the lymphatic system is essentially what drains out the broken up ink particulars, you’ll want it performing at its peak.

All proper precautions are taken for a safe session by using single-use tools, and a completely clean and sanitized environment. Should clients follow our pre and post care instructions, there should be minimal risks or complications. Although allergic reactions to the pigments are rare, it could be possible for certain individuals.

  • Hair dyes

Patch tests can be booked 5-7 days prior to your appointment.

Is the touch-up session necessary?2020-10-26T17:57:10-04:00

Yes! A touch-up session after 6-8 weeks is necessary as everyone heals differently and the outcome will vary. Certain areas may not pick up during the first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment colour may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch-up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch up session is when I refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the colour for the whole year! Remember, Microblading can be a 2-3 step procedure depending on skin type.

How long does Microblading last?2020-10-26T17:56:37-04:00

Since microblading pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade over time. Microblading typically lasts 1-1.5 years, depending on skin type (normal, oily, dry), age (youthful/mature). Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: patients who tan uses products with AHA or Glycolic Acid, work out a lot, have certain medical conditions etc. with fade faster as your skin will resurface faster. Each individual’s colour retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 6-12 months. Clients can let the microblade area fade over time, but please note a slight shadow may remain.

The eyebrow area may be slightly red after the procedure and colour will appear very dark. This is a totally normal part of the healing process. The colour will fade and the brow will shrink by up to 40% as it heals. In the following days, the eyebrows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight scabbing. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the microblade area. The eyebrows will lighten up in colour as it heals. No downtime is required after a microblading procedure. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the colour to fully set in. You’ll notice the colour is very light right after the two weeks after healing; the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. This is known as the milk skin and is common in tattooing. This is due to the tissue still healing from the inside out even though the surface of the skin is healed. True colour will reveal itself once healed.
