SKIN TREATMENTS

Concerns

SUN SPOTS / PIGMENTATION

Pigmentation / Sun Damage

At Mint we offer targeted treatments to address uneven skin tone, sunspots, dark patches and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Treatment choice depends on the type and severity of the concern and often includes a combination of in-clinic and topical therapies. The first step is a consultation with our experienced doctors to determine what types of treatments will best suit your concerns.

EXPRESSION LINES / CREASES

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Creases and furrows are a normal part of aging; while the development of lines and wrinkles is expected,, many of us feel that our lines make us look older or more tired than we feel. There are many factors that contribute to the development of wrinkles, including, repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, environmental pollution, weight changes, skin type, and stress., At Mint we offer treatments that not only reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but help prevent them from progressing and developing in the future.

FACIAL HARMONIZATION & RECONTOURING

Facial Volume Loss

Rediscover youthful vibrancy with our advanced treatments to address facial volume loss. Over time, our natural aging process results in a loss of facial fullness, giving us a more hollowed, tired appearance. As we age, we experience fat redistribution, soft-tissue and bone atrophy, and gravity begins to gradually pull our facial structures downward. At Mint we understand that addressing facial volume loss is one of the most important components of rejuvenation. Regain your confidence and achieve a more youthful, natural radiance with our tailored treatments. Book a consultation to get started today.

UNEVEN SKIN TONE / TEXTURE

Dullness / Uneven Skin Texture

Radiant skin is a step away. If you’re troubled by dullness, dehydration, dryness or uneven skin texture, you’re not alone. While addressing the internal factors contributing to dry, dehydrated, dull or textured skin is critical, results are best experienced when these lifestyle changes are paired with a tailored skin care routine and a series of resurfacing and rejuvenating facials. Say goodbye to lackluster skin and hello to a dewy, glowy you. Book a skin health consultation to get started.

LIP ENHANCEMENT

Lips

Lip treatments are designed to enhance the existing beauty of the lips, creating a fuller, more defined, more symmetrical or proportional, or smoother, hydrated pout. This can be achieved through various methods, including the use of dermal fillers, dysport/botox or PRP. Lip enhancement procedures are tailored to individual preferences, aiming for natural-looking results that complement the overall facial features for added facial balancing and harmony.

UNDER-EYE HOLLOWS / DARK CIRCLES

Tired Eyes

Under-eye hollowing refers to the loss of volume and a sunken appearance in the area beneath the eyes. This can create shadows, making a person appear tired or older than they are. Under-eye hollows develop due to factors like aging, genetics, allergies, or lifestyle habits to name a few. Fortunately, various treatments can address this concern. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be strategically injected to restore volume and smoothen the hollowed area, while skin rejuvenating treatments like microneedling and PRP increase collagen and elastin for firmer under-eye skin. Small amounts of botox can smooth wrinkles and improve the appearance of under-eye crepey texture. Book a cosmetic consultation to get started.

PORE REFINING TREATMINTS

Enlarged / Congested Pores

Pore refining treatments focus on minimizing the appearance of enlarged or congested pores and promoting smoother skin texture. Enlarged pores can result from factors like genetics, excess oil production, incorrect or improper usage of skin care products and general skin aging. Various treatments can help address this concern. A consistent skincare regime paired with in clinic treatments will have you feeling fresh and refreshed!

SAGGING / LINES / SUN DAMAGE

Neck / Chest

The skin on our neck is more delicate than our face, so the effects of aging, posture, genetics and sun exposure can look more pronounced in this area. As we get older, our skin loses collagen and elastin, the two main proteins that keep the skin bouncy and firm, as a result, lines, sagging and crepey texture begin to develop. With repeated sun exposure, sun spots, pigment and redness begin to dominate the decollete. At Mint, we offer effective solutions to address this important area, including botox, fillers and skin rejuvenation treatments. Book a consultation to get started.

SKIN TEXTURE / LAXITY

Crepey Skin Texture / Loss of Elasticity

At Mint, we offer a variety of methods aimed at restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin. As we age, the loss of collagen and elastin fibers leads to sagging and drooping in various areas of the body. Dermal fillers and Skin Boosters deeply rehydrate the skin to improve the texture and appearance of fine lines, while Botox and Dysport can provide subtle lift and smoothing. The rejuvenating effects of PRP plumps and softens skin, while microneedling builds new collagen and elastin for increased firmness. To learn more about what treatments are suited for you, book a consultation.

ACNE TREATMENT

Acne / Blemishes

Treatment for acne begins with identifying the causative factors responsible for cysts, spots and congestion.  These treatments address acne’s root causes like excess sebum, bacteria, and hormones. Personalized plans guided by a holistic doctor target individual variations for optimal results. Topical treatments and medical grade skincare clear pores, reduce inflammation, and boost skin turnover. In clinic treatments strengthen the skin barrier, reduce breakouts, and improve texture, scaring and pigment. Severe cases may require oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies, or specialized prescriptions. 

UNEVEN TEXTURE & PIGMENT

Acne Scars

If you no longer have active acne but have visible acne scarring, we offer a variety of treatments to reduce acne scarring and revitalize the skin’s overall health and appearance. The severity of scarring will determine the approach; mild scarring may benefit from topical methods such as retinoic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, niacinamide or vitamin C, while deeper scars will benefit from therapies like microneedling, PRP, dermal fillers, and resurfacing treatments. Book a cosmetic consultation for a tailored plan based on your scars and skin condition.

DISCOLOURATION & DARK PATCHES

Melasma

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by dark patches that typically appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetic predisposition. Treatment options include topical creams containing ingredients which help to lighten the dark patches and promote even skin tone. Consulting our docs is crucial for a personalized treatment plan tailored to the specific type and severity of melasma.

FACIAL REDNESS & FLUSHING

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and often small red bumps on the face, particularly the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Triggers such as sun exposure, certain foods, alcohol, and temperature changes can exacerbate symptoms. There is no cure for rosacea, but various treatments, including topical creams, and oral medications can help manage its symptoms and reduce redness and inflammation. Consulting our docs is essential for accurate diagnosis and creating a customized treatment plan to effectively manage and control rosacea symptoms.

THE UNSQUEEZABLE SPOT

Milia

Milia are small dome-shaped white or yellow bumps that can appear anywhere on the face. Although they resemble white heads, you can’t pop these little hard lumps. Milia develop when protein (keratin) gets trapped under the skin; while they are harmless, their appearance (and persistence) can be frustrating. Having the appropriate skin care routine for your skin type is essential when it comes to the treatment and prevention of milia. To learn more, book a skin health consultation.

DERMATITIS / RASH

Eczema

When eczema is acute it’s relatively easy to deal with. Slather some lotion and you’re good to go. When it’s chronic we can go down the rabbit hole of contact allergies, food sensitivities and stress. What a lot of people don’t know is that even chronic eczema can sometimes be easy to deal with. At Mint we scrape to see if it’s fungus, swab to see if it’s bacteria, prick to see if it’s allergic. You’d be surprised that eczema is another problem in disguise.

DRY, THICK PATCHES

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic non contagious skin condition with several subtypes (plaque, inverse, guttate, erythrodermic, and pustular psoriasis. Psoriasis can affect any age group, and treatment will depend on subtype as well as severity.

There are various types of alopecia, including male and female pattern baldness, telogen effluvium, and autoimmune-related alopecias like alopecia areata. Hair loss can result from genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors. It can significantly affect self-esteem and quality of life. Treatment options range from over-the-counter topical solutions like minoxidil to prescription medications like finasteride and spironolactone, which aim to slow down or reverse hair loss. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has gained significant popularity as an effective standalone or adjunctive treatment for hair loss.

HYPERHIDROSIS

Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect various parts of the body, most commonly the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. Hyperhidrosis often leads to social discomfort and can impact a person’s quality of life. Treatments for hyperhidrosis include antiperspirants with higher concentrations of active ingredients, oral medications that help regulate sweat glands, Botox injections to block nerve signals that trigger sweating, and, in severe cases, surgical options such as sweat gland removal.

WARRIOR WOUNDS

Stretch Marks / Scars

Stretch marks are common skin imperfections that result from rapid stretching of the skin due to factors like pregnancy, weight gain, or growth spurts. They often appear as thin, discolored lines on the skin’s surface, varying in color from red or purple to pale white. While they’re a natural occurrence, many individuals seek to minimize their visibility. A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after a wound, injury or surgery. Scars can appear hypertrophic or keloid (raised) or atrophic (sunken) and vary in colour from red or purple to pale white. Various treatments are available, including topical prescriptions and skin care products, lasers, microneedling and PRP, which can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, dermal fillers and skin boosters to name a few. A consultation with one of our experienced NDs will get you started on your journey.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDER (TMJD)

Jaw Tension / Clenching

Botox can offer relief from the pain and discomfort resulting from TMJD . Injections of botulinum toxin into the jaw muscles relaxes them, thereby reducing the muscle’s ability to clench and grind. This eases tension, alleviates pain, and prevents further joint damage. A therapeutic botox consultation with one of our team members at Mint is the first step!

CHRONIC MIGRAINE TREATMENT

Headaches

Migraine and headache treatment with Botox has emerged as a promising option to alleviate the debilitating pain and frequency of these conditions. Botox, a neurotoxin, is injected into specific areas of the head and neck to block nerve signals that trigger migraines and tension headaches. This process relaxes the muscles, reduces pain sensitivity, and prevents the onset of migraines. The effects of Botox treatment for migraines and headaches can last for several months, providing relief and improving overall quality of life for those who suffer from chronic or severe head pain.
