Our answers to your most frequently asked questions
Are hyaluronic acid injections effective?
Yes, filler injections are effective. At Stamina MD, we don’t use fillers to camouflage wrinkles. We prefer to treat the cause of wrinkles: to firm the skin and relax the muscles as they were when you were younger. This takes more patience, but can improve the health of your skin and achieve longer-lasting, more natural results.
If this approach appeals to you, you’ve come to the right clinic. In general, the effect of filler injections lasts between 18 and 24 months. As the effect is shorter for the lips (around 6 months), you should expect to have touch-ups 2 times a year.
What are the disadvantages of hyaluronic acid?
The disadvantages of filler injections are probably that of changing the authenticity of our face if filler agents are used excessively or if they are the only treatment used.
At Stamina MD, fillers are used only after the skin has been thoroughly tightened, to ensure that the skin is able to retain the injected products, thus maintaining a natural look, and to use as little as possible. The secret to natural, elegant results is to offer combined treatments combining several different technologies. Dermal fillers are just one of many tools used in our clinic to treat volume loss (temples, lips, lateral cheeks). They will not be used as an express solution to camouflage wrinkles.
What are the possible complications of filling agents?
Filling agents can lead to vascular complications. That’s why filler injections must be performed by a professional.
At Stamina MD, all injections are performed by Dr. Tremblay. During your consultation with Dr. Tremblay, she will assess your health to identify any medical contraindications to treatment. If so, she can give you the advice you need to reduce the risks or refer you to other types of skin care that are appropriate for your skin. Your safety is a top priority at Stamina MD.
What treatment does Dr. Tremblay recommend for all ages to prevent or reduce the signs of aging?
Microneedling with radiofrequency and PRP. The combination of this powerful trio in a single treatment makes it possible to improve several objectives at the same time (improving texture, complexion, wrinkles, scars, firming, dark circles).
It’s Stamina MD’s signature treatment. Dr. Tremblay has truly developed an expertise in firming and can establish a personalized treatment plan for you, indicating the number of treatments required for your skin’s needs.
What is the difference between botox (neuromodulator) and dermal fillers? Let's dispel the myths.
Neuromodulators (botox) are used to relax the muscle using a toxin (not paralyze it, as many people say to scare people). Muscles get stronger with age (from laughing, crying, worrying). Botox helps restore muscles to the strength they had when you were a little younger, giving your skin less misery.
Neuromodulators can even prevent the appearance of wrinkles. Also, the muscles injected will be mainly those that pull the skin downwards to allow the muscles that pull upwards to pull upwards, giving your face a natural lift effect. It’s all about the art of determining the right number of units for a natural, harmonious result, and a good knowledge of anatomy. There are no secrets left for Dr. Tremblay in this field.
Filling agents are hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our bodies. Its ability to retain water is what makes it so useful in our bodies. Injecting hyaluronic acid allows water to be drawn into the injected area, helping to restore volume loss. An example would be the normal loss of volume in the lips with age. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips restores the volume of our lips when we were a little younger, and moisturizes them for a natural look.
It’s also all about the art of injecting to recreate or restructure what has been lost with age to regain a youthful look.
What is the best laser treatment for all types of dark spots?
The best laser with cutting-edge technology for fading brown spots regardless of phototype (pale to darker complexions) is the Picosure Pro. This laser is one of the fastest. It is 1000 times faster than older lasers (nanolaser or Qswitch).
The faster a laser is, the less heat it accumulates, and therefore the better its performance, while greatly reducing the risk of complications and recovery time. No need for anesthesia. It’s comfortable and fast.
Just a slight redness for 1 to 2 hours after treatment. You can resume your activities immediately after treatment. It’s the perfect lunchtime treatment for an even complexion, summer or winter!
