The secret to youthful skin is a combination of factors, but one if biggest ones are WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT HOME??? I want to shake it up and discuss a surprising in-home treatment that rivals some of the results you would only expect to get from your doctors office or medical spa….The ZO Retinol Stimulation Peel. Having tried every procedure we have to offer, the team at Skin Worthy decided to take on the task of testing this at home treatment to see if it truly gave notewor

At Skin Worthy we have 2 Microneedling devices, the Eclipse Micropen Elite and the V2 Beauty Booster gun.

With summer having come and somewhat gone here, in Toronto our schedules tend to dramatically change and so do our skincare needs.

Have you heard the term "TECH NECK"? And thought to yourself: "what the heck is "tech neck"

“It’s embarrassing being my age and having acne!” “I don’t understand, I never had acne when I was in high school?” These are what so many of our beautiful patients are telling us. A common trend at Skin Worthy - a patient comes in for their Filler or Botox treatment and they don’t even think of asking about acne because they have “tried everything” and have given up. Patients love their injectables but are now residing to heavy makeup to cover

Ahhh the dreaded appearance of large pores. Most of us complain about them, we all try to do our best to hide them with makeup and apply products that say they are going to help reduce the size and look of them, but it doesn’t seem to work as well as we hope. Well I'm here to help with some insight on this troubling issue. First of all, what is a pore? A pore is a tiny hole in our skin that has a tiny hair attached to it, this hair has a gland inside of it called the sebaceou

Often, we tend to hear a lot of conversation on whether or not Microneedling is a safe treatment technique for women of colour. Many of these debates stem from the idea that because women of colour are biologically known to produce higher concentrations of melanin in their skin, makes their skin type more prone, or susceptible to scarring or hypo or hyper pigmentation to various facial rejuvenation treatments. Well, let us be the first to demystify any ideologies surrounding

This is a common question a lot of patients inquire about and aren’t entirely sure which of the two is best suited for their skin concerns or what these treatment benefits are. Both the V2 Beauty Booster and micro-needling fall under the category of collagen induction therapy (CIT), these are non-invasive treatments that involve the repeated puncturing of the skin using very tiny, sterile needles. These controlled micro-injuries induce the production of collagen and elastin

Hi Skin Worthy fans! Thank you for taking interest in this post, I hope that my #accutanejourney will shed some light on Accutane use and acne treatments. First of all, I would like to state that everyone’s skin is different, as are the reactions to various treatments. Most treatments come with side effects and I caution everyone to listen to their bodies first and foremost, and consult with your physician/dermatologist/medical aesthetician to find what works best for you. I

Everyone has a skincare routine- whether it be a 1 step wipe, or a 16 step sacred ritual. We fall into skincare habits or try new things that may ultimately damage our beautiful visage. At Skin Worthy we honour natural beauty and that starts with the skin. We hope to address some bad habits and misconceptions and encourage our readers to save face- literally. Not Cleansing Properly- Cleansing your face may seem like the easiest and most basic step of your routine. Washing you

Just in time for Halloween, we want to tell you all about the Vampire Facial that everyone is eager to try. This treatment is not nearly as gruesome as Kim K claims it to be and it produces great results. The Vampire Facial is actually Micro-Needling with PRP which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma that is found in our blood. In order to use this “ liquid gold” we need to first extract your blood and spin it so we can separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Once we have e

Hello Everyone, My name is Megan and I’m the manager here at Skin Worthy Clinic. You may have seen me in some of Barbs posts on Instagram getting injected or laser treatment or micro needled…the list goes on lol. I’m excited to be writing my very first blog post ever and even more excited to be able to share my experiences with you! When I was thinking about what I wanted to write about so many ideas came to mind, but the idea that stuck out the most for me was sharing what w

This post is brought to you by Skin Worthy's very own Dr. Cody Hemsworth. Dr. Hemsworth recently participated in a regenerative treatment using platelet rich plasma (PRP) for hair restoration. He is finding that his hair line is receding and the overall thickness of his hair is decreasing. For hair restoration it is recommended to have 1 treatment a month for 3 months and then continue with 1 treatment every 6 months for maintenance. Dr. Hemsworth has had 2 treatments thus fa

Hello Skin Worthy Fans! It's Carolina Mendes, the Medical Aesthetician at Skin Worthy.
