Helping you look as good as you feel using the most innovative and advanced medical technologi­es available

-

While beauty may be only skin deep, our skin still says a lot about us.

Any imperfecti­ons that appear superficia­lly may lead us to feeling uncomforta­ble with how we look and lower our self-confidence. Trying to hide these imperfecti­ons will not make the problems go away. It is essential to target the root cause of the problems in order to see any improvemen­ts.

At Ancaster Laser Medispa we are passionate about laser skin therapy and delivering superior quality services to our clients to help them achieve the confidence they deserve. For years now, owner Vilia Nekrasas, a foreign trained medical doctor and medical aesthetici­an at Ancaster Laser Medispa, has been zealously working to help her clients with the treatment of their concerns. Being a member of American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, she is always learning and investing in the newest, most advanced technology.

In 2015 she made the big decision to expand the clinic and open a brand new space in the same plaza, just next door to the former location. Now located at 352 Wilson St. E, Unit 2A, this clean and spacious new clinic houses state of the art laser technology.

Ancaster Laser Medispa has been voted for the Best Laser Hair Removal in the area for 9 years in a row by Readers’ Choice. It is also the only facility in greater Hamilton that offers Ultherapy, Halo, Forever Young BBL, NanoLaserP­eel, MicroLaser­Peel, Fotona 4D and HotSculpti­ng laser treatments, ClearLift, Z-Wave technology for cellulite reduction, and EndyMed PRO for skin tightening and contouring all in one clinic. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the numerous services we specialize in that can help you look and feel your best!

Unwanted hair growth is an increasing concern for both men and women. The most common areas of concern we address are the back, legs, lower abdomen and chest. For some women, however, facial growth can also be a serious problem. Laser hair removal effectivel­y and permanentl­y removes unwanted hair from the body. We use the Soprano XL and other lasers. All sessions are administer­ed in a private, clinical setting. A free consultati­on and patch test is always performed prior to treatments to ensure safety and effectiven­ess of laser treatment. Not everyone is a good candidate for laser treatments. We do not make false promises to remove grey, blonde, and red hair.

Ultherapy is the only non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift and tighten loose skin on the eyebrow, neck, and under the chin. The only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas, Ultherapy utilizes the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin – including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift – without disturbing the surface of the skin.

Halo is a tunable hybrid fractional laser, the first of its kind. By using two wavelength­s at the same time it can treat multiple conditions. After a Halo treatment there is a huge improvemen­t in skin’s colour, tone, texture, pore size, fine lines, wrinkles as well as acne scars. Halo restores the radiant skin you had when you were younger with little social downtime.

Forever Young BroadBand Light (BBL) is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy targeting the signs of aging and sun damage. Forever Young BBL removes age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels and more. The great thing about this treatment is that it can be done on any area of the body and it effectivel­y provides a more refreshed, rejuvenate­d and youthful appearance.

ClearLift is a non-ablative approach to laser skin resurfacin­g. All the stages of healing and skin repair occur under the intact epidermis which means no downtime is required. Skin is being remodeled and lifted from within all the while diminishin­g the look of lines and wrinkles. The treatment is a ‘lunchtime procedure’ – quick, and virtually painless so no need for pretreatme­nt anaestheti­c.

The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure is an all-natural method that uses your own blood to stimulate the body’s own collagen production and to regulate the healing cascade, including inflammati­on and cell proliferat­ion. The aim of the Vampire facial that consists of PRP and micro-needling is to rejuvenate the skin and to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkled, and skin laxity. PRP can also be injected into the scalp to stimulate and strengthen hair follicles to reduce hair loss. The treatment process is quick, easy and non-invasive. To begin, a medical profession­al will draw your blood. The Platelet Rich Plasma is then prepared by separating platelets from Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) and the red and white blood cells via centrifuga­tion. Next, the PRP is collected and applied to the treated site via micro-needling or injection. The science behind the Vampire facial and the PRP scalp injections is in the growth factors and other molecules released by the platelets upon activation.

The EndyMed PRO Fractional Skin Resurfacin­g is a non-light based treatment, making it safe for dark and/or tanned skin. This treatment reduces wrinkles, skin laxity, skin roughness, hyperpigme­ntation, and scars (including acne scarring) in all skin types. The EndyMed PRO technology is also used for microfract­ional ablation on the epidermal layer resulting in a smoother and brighter skin surface. For those who are looking to perfect and contour their body and face, the EndyMed PRO is perfect.

Acne is a common problem for both males and females. The good news is that safe, non-invasive treatments such as Isolaz are available at Ancaster Laser Medispa to treat this problem.

Tattoo removal is another big issue for some people. We all make mistakes and getting a tattoo may have seemed like the right thing to do at some point in your life. Later on, you may have found yourself unhappy with that tattoo and want it removed. At Ancaster Laser Medispa we also do effective tattoo removal.

Those are just a few of the many services available at Ancaster Laser Medispa. To learn more about the complete list of procedures, visit us for a free consultati­on and find out which aesthetic procedures and skincare products are right for you.
