This week we completed several skin procedures and also had quite a few clients come through the doors with questions about skincare. The cold snap definitely doesn't help our skin that's for sure!
For those that haven't been in to see us yet, at Elev8 Aesthetic Medicine Inc. our approach goes beyond quick fixes. We focus on delivering comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how we help:
1. Professional Skin Assessment
Before starting any treatment, we thoroughly evaluate your skin to confirm whether you’re dealing with skin tags or milia. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and the best course of action for safe removal.
2. Minimally Invasive Extraction Techniques
For milia, we use a sterile needle to create a small opening, allowing us to safely extract the trapped keratin. This gentle technique minimizes discomfort and promotes faster healing.
For skin tags, we assess whether they can be removed using a similar approach or if referral to a specialist is necessary for more advanced cases.
3. Nurse & Nurse Practitioner-Led Care
Our RN's & Nurse Practitioners (NPs) bring advanced medical expertise to every consultation. This means we can:
Provide medical-grade topical treatments to support healing and prevent recurrence.
Prescribe medications for skin conditions if needed.
Offer personalized advice for maintaining skin health, including integrating products like ZO Skin Health and other professional-grade solutions tailored to your skin.
4. Medical-Grade Skincare Solutions
At Elev8, we proudly offer ZO Skin Health, a leading line of medical-grade skincare products designed to promote healthier, clearer skin. These products are ideal for preventing and managing conditions like skin tags and milia by:
Exfoliating dead skin cells that can clog pores.
Improving skin hydration, reducing friction and irritation.
Strengthening the skin barrier to protect against environmental stressors.
Exciting New Partnership: Face Fit Canada
We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Face Fit Canada, giving our clients access to exclusive, premium skincare products. These advanced products target hydration, anti-aging, and skin repair, complementing our treatments to maximize your results.

Post-Treatment Care and Prevention
To ensure smooth healing after skin tag or milia removal, follow these steps:
Keep the Area Clean: Use a gentle cleanser and avoid makeup for 24-48 hours.
Avoid Picking or Scratching: Let the treated area heal naturally to avoid scarring.
Protect Your Skin: Apply sunscreen to prevent post-treatment pigmentation.
To reduce the likelihood of future skin tags or milia:
Maintain Skin Hygiene: Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
Choose Non-Comedogenic Products: Avoid heavy creams that may block pores.
Incorporate ZO Products and Face Fit Canada Solutions: Use recommended exfoliators, hydrators, and calming solutions for enhanced skin maintenance.
Use Omnilux LED Masks: Regular use of these advanced devices supports skin health and reduces inflammation.
Stay Healthy: Managing weight, keeping skin hydrated, and minimizing friction can help reduce irritation.
