Skincare With Précieux

UK-trained plastic surgeon, Sherine Raveendran, of Toronto Medical Aesthetics has developed a cutting-edge advanced skin treatment near you based on the genetic background of individuals. 


A first of its kind and unlike any other skin care line, Précieux is formulated to treat and prevent problems related to the ethnic background of an individual. These products are also formulated to target the concerns of the skin related to the specific seasons.


The structure and behavior of the skin display variations based on the genetic background of an individual. Racial characteristics explain the differing degree of the aging process and disparities in the response of the skin to the active ingredients in the skin care product. Climate and seasonal changes can also have an impact on the skin.


Our products will help:


  • Give you a well-balanced, even skin tone
  • Restore the elasticity and smoothness of the skin
  • Reduce pore size
  • Reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Provide moisture and a healthy glow to the skin
  • Prevent skin from further solar damage
  • Prepare the skin for chemical peels and laser resurfacing


This treatment works particularly well when paired with a microneedling vampire facial near you.

Treating Scars and Moles

A scar is a result of the natural healing process following an injury, resulting in fibrous tissue formation. The main types of scars are hypertrophied scars, keloid scars, and atrophic scars. The scars can also appear as surface irregularities with pigmentary changes. Stretch marks are also a form of scarring, usually resulting from pregnancy, weight gain, growth spurts, hormonal irregularities, and steroid therapy. 


Scars can be treated by surgical and non-surgical methods, such as the application of advanced skin care treatments. The choice of treatment depends on a number of factors such as the age of the scar, anatomical location, and type of scar. Surgical correction is considered to improve the appearance of the old scar and to release contractures related to the scars. The final appearance of the scar depends on several factors and one of the most important factors is the genetic healing and scar-forming characteristics of the individual. 


Acne scars are often deep and pitted and can be difficult to treat. They are often treated with dermabrasion techniques and fractionated laser resurfacing.


Moles can be non-cancerous or cancerous. Harmless moles are removed for cosmetic reasons. Suspicious moles need careful excision and pathological examination to exclude any cancerous growth.


Moles can be removed under local anesthesia. The recovery period is short and the patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure to the scar.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure which gently resurfaces the skin. 


Microdermabrasion exfoliation is performed with a diamond tip which brushes the skin's surface with the aid of a gentle vacuum. This action removes dead and damaged cells at the skin's surface. By eliminating these surface cells with microdermabrasion, the skin is left soft and supple while forcing the regeneration of new skin cells.


Microdermabrasion at Toronto Medical Aesthetics is combined with a complete facial which includes treatment creams, a mask, high frequency and extractions if necessary.


Microdermabrasion is used for:


  • Scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines
  • Sun damaged skin
  • Blemishes
  • Dull and congested skin
  • Uneven skin tones and textural damaged skin
  • Enlarged pores


  • What to Expect When You Come in for Your First Appointment?

    After a microdermabrasion treatment, the skin may feel tight. Some individuals experience light flaking of the skin, therefore, it is important to use a good moisturizer as advised by our skin therapists. Otherwise, there are minimal side effects, which is why microdermabrasion is often described as the lunch hour procedure.


    Microdermabrasion facials are usually kept at 2-3 week intervals and maintenance treatments are usually performed once a month. Microdermabrasion treatments are approximately 45 minutes in length.

Acne Treatment

Acne is one of the most common skin disorders. It mostly affects the face and sometimes involves the back, neck, shoulders and chest. Acne results when the pores on the skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells and can be triggered by hormonal changes.


The treatment involves lifestyle changes and customized treatment. The skin treatment includes customized skin care, microdermabrasion, peels, specialty facials and lasers. Long-term uncontrolled acne can lead to scars on the face which could be treated with micro-needling and platelet-rich plasma.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one of the most popular facial treatments available, and for good reason. This advanced skin treatment can help to improve the appearance of skin by removing the damaged outer layer.  As a result, it helps to reveal fresher, smoother skin beneath.


Peels can be customized to meet the specific needs of each individual patient, making them an ideal treatment for nearly anyone who is looking to improve the appearance of their skin.

Rejuvenate Your Skin with Chemical Peels

  • Uneven skin tone
  • Age spots, freckles, dark spots and pigmentation related to pregnancy and sun exposure
  • Oily skin with blackheads and whiteheads
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve the appearance of the scars
  • Acne


Our team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs. With regular care, you can enjoy beautiful, healthy-looking skin.

The Treatment Explained

The agents used in a chemical peel facilitate the restoration of younger, fresher, and healthier skin. The treatment also helps to stimulate collagen and improve pigmentation and flakiness caused by sun damage and fine wrinkles.


Alpha hydroxyl acid peels, such as fruit acid peels, glycolic acid, and lactic acid peels act on the superficial layers of the skin. These peels not only exfoliate the skin but also hydrate and smooth fine lines and improve the texture of the skin. The peels are performed at lower concentrations and can be increased gradually.


Salicylic acid peels are used in breakout-prone skin such as with acne. These compounds help to treat oily skin with blackheads and whiteheads. Trichloroacetic acid peels can also be used in various concentrations to treat a variety of skin conditions. These peels help improve the texture and tone of the skin, fine wrinkles, sun spots, and freckles.

Common Questions

With so many products and treatments on the market, it can be hard to know where to start on your path to better skin. Chemical peels are one option that can offer dramatic results with relatively little downtime. In this section, we'll answer a few of the most common questions about the treatment, so you can decide if a chemical peel is right for you.

  • What can I expect for my first time?

    • Consultation with a detailed medical history
    • Analysis of the skin and skin typing
    • The choice of peel depends on your skin type and the associated skin conditions
    • The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes to perform and does not require anesthesia
    • You will feel a stinging sensation during the application of the peeling agent, though this is normal and should not be a concern

  • How many sessions do I need?

    The number of sessions needed for a chemical peel will vary depending on the depth of the peel and the desired results. 


    For a superficial peel, only one or two sessions may be necessary. For a medium-depth peel, three to six sessions may be required. For a deeper peel, six to twelve sessions may be necessary.


    The number of sessions needed can also vary depending on the individual's skin type and healing process. As such, it is important to consult with a qualified aesthetician to determine how many chemical peel sessions will be best for you.

  • Is there any downtime?

    The skin may become red and irritated during your treatment. Most of the symptoms settle quickly. Soothing creams have to be applied to keep the skin soothed.


    Chemical peels are safe and effective for all skin types, and our experienced aesthetician will tailor the treatment to your specific needs. Contact us today to learn more about our chemical peel treatments and see if they are right for you!

  • How soon will I see results?

    As with any skin treatment, the results you see from a chemical peel will depend on several factors, including the type of peel you choose and your individual skin type. 


    Generally speaking, you can expect to see some improvement after just one peel. However, multiple peels are often necessary to achieve the desired results.
