Are the treatments painful?

This is a very good question! The amount of discomfort depends on the treatment type.

Massage therapy and facials are relaxing and therefore are not painful. For some laser treatments, we may apply a topical anaesthetic to the area to be treated. We also have a Zimmer, a machine which blows a jet of glacial air, which effectively reduces any pain during a specific session. Some treatments require you to feel warmth or some mild discomfort. This is to let us know that the treatment is actually working.

We are thrilled to be the first centre in the Outaouais region to have the latest in Thermage® technology. The Thermage CPT hand-piece is approved by the FDA in the United States. We are waiting on Health Canada approval. Following this, we will be able to offer you the most comfort in Thermage treatments. Until then we are pleased to offer you the traditional format.
