Procedures & Treatments
Developing desired skin health typically requires a combination of procedures, products and treatments. The objective is to restore skin health at the cellular level by correcting problems and damage below the skin’s surface, and to strengthen and stimulate cell growth so results are maintained.
Brampton Cosmetic develops Skin Health programs designed to treat skin imperfections caused by aging, skin conditions such as acne, and environmental factors such as sun damage or lifestyle choices.
Optimal skin health requires a combination of procedures, products and treatments - working together - to achieve and maintain desired results: smoother, tighter, healthier skin. Dr. Sleightholm and his skin health specialists tailor skin health programs to treat specific skin conditions and to make certain patient objectives are met.
Skin Health Procedures
Based on state of the art technology, these procedures are specifically designed to repair and rejuvenate the skin. All skin health procedures are medically supervised by Dr. Sleightholm so desired results are safely achieved.
Correction of skin conditions can be effectively treated with various types of laser technology.
Photorejuvenation
BBL broadband light's innovative technology sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles and sun damage. BBL broadband light energy allows your physician to precisely treat fin wrinkles, age and sun spots, small facial veins and several other skin blemishes. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin's condition and your desired results. BBL technology utilizes the power of pulsed light to deliver excellent results in photorejuvenation therapy.

Fraxel is a safe, non-invasive laser treatment that is used to improve texture and tone of the skin. Fraxel Laser helps with:
- reducing pore size
- eliminates brown spots
- it smoothes out wrinkle around the eyes
- flattens acne scars
- rejuvenates the skin on hands, neck and chest.
Fraxel treatments work by producing thousand of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin known as microthermal treatment zones.

The Lightsheer and BBL contain a laser that targets microstructures such as hair follicles. It is very effective for lighter skin types and, because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin; it is the best choice when treating darker skin types. Additionally, the ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin makes this treatment of choice for active individuals.
Read MoreCellulite Procedures
Deep massage procedures used to increase blood and nymph circulation, which help to eliminate the condition that causes cellulite. C ellulite is caused by an excessive deposit of fat and toxins trapped in connective tissue, just beneath the skin. Most of the time, cellulite comes with water retention. This water is stagnant and full of toxins not eliminated by the lymph system, creating swollen fat pockets and inflammation of connective tissues. Cellulite procedures treat this condition, helping to get rid of the “orange peel” effect and improving the appearance and quality of the skin.
Lymphatic draining (Endermologie) is a treatment that stimulates the lymph system and improves blood circulation. The key to good health is well functioning organs and circulatory systems. When blood circulation is poor, less oxygen is provided to organs and tissue, including the skin. Endermologie deep massage eliminates the toxins trapped in the lymphatic system, reducing fat deposits and water retention and improving blood circulation. This increases overall health and well being, and positively impacts the quality and look of the skin in treated areas.
Pre and Post Surgery Therapy
What is Cellulite?
Described as “orange peel”, “dimples” or more crudely as “cottage cheese”, this disorder plagues over 80% of the female population today. Even women who diet, exercise, and maintain a healthy weight are not immune to its disfiguring effects.
Research, and perhaps your own experience, has proven overwhelming that cellulite is resistant to diet, exercise, and invasive procedures. Cellulite is a viscous cycle that involves hormones, cellular aging, fluid retention, and the reorganization of fat cells and connective tissue.
Why are women prone to develop cellulite?
Women’s skin is built differently than men’s to help them to store fat during pregnancy and breast feeding and also to allow the skin to expand during these times. When estrogen levels fluctuate in the body, the skin will retain fluid, connective tissue in the skin hardens, blood, and lymphatic circulation is decreased, and fat cell storage is favored, causing the development of cellulite.
How does our Endermologie™ (Keymodule Cellu M6) device work on cellulite?
Connective tissue is massaged through the action of the two motorized rollers in which restores proper microcirculation and stimulates subcutaneous fluid exchange. As the series of treatment progresses, improvement of blood flow and it’s effect on lymphatic flow restores proper metabolic exchanges. This allows the adipocytes (fat cells) to return to their normal shape and size. The septa are progressively relieved of pressure in the hypertrophic lobes. During treatment, the action of the Cellu M6 motorized rollers head induce stretching of the connective tissue, resulting in a smoother appearance of the skin.
Endermologie™ is the ultimate advancement in body contouring and skin conditioning. This whole body experience is extremely gentle, with deep, soothing motions.
Endermologie™ reduces water retention by boosting the venous and lymphatic systems.
Endermologie™ can reshape the body and reduce volumes by enhancing lypolysis at various fatty tissue levels.
Endermologie™ improves Blood Flow/ Microcirculation by 400% and lasts of to 6 hours (20 minute treatment)
Endermologie™ Stimulates the Lymphatic system and is increased by 300% and lasts 4 hours
Endermologie™ tightens the skin and increases collagen from 27% - 130% after 20 sessions proportional to the number of treatments.
Endermologie™ has a neuro-sensorial action and plays a role in fine tuning posture and gesture to allow for better coordination and movement.
Are you a candidate for Endermologie™?
Endermologie™ is not a weight loss program. Individuals who are 10-15 lbs over their ideal weight are considered good candidates for this treatment. Combining diet, exercise and adequate water intake will provide the best results.
If weight loss is a concern to you, the Brampton Cosmetic Clinic can provide you with a proven weight loss program which can alter your body’s composition, and assist with your cellulite results.
Endermologie™ as an anti-aging & anti-stress therapy
Because of it’s multiple benefits, Endermologie™ is also used as an anti-aging therapy that can improve overall well being as well as yield anti-stress benefits.
Endermologie™ and Liposuction – Maximize the value of your liposuction results.
Did you know that many of the nation's most respected cosmetic surgeons include Endermologie™’s pre and post therapy program with all their liposuction procedures? Clinical tests support the efficacy of Endermologie™ used pre and post liposuction to smooth and soften subcutaneous tissue in preparation for surgery as well as refine post-surgical results.
After liposuction, Endermologie™ treats oedemas, residual ecchymosis, improves asymmetries as well as treat areas that would not benefit from surgery. Endermologie™ also speeds up recovery time.
How long does a session last? Do you just work on my problem areas?
A session lasts for 30-60 minutes depending on the protocol chosen. The main focus of the treatment is directed to the problem areas, but the entire body must be treated in order to stimulate general circulation and the elimination of toxins.
At the Brampton Cosmetic Clinic, depending on the indication or area to be treated, we use both our devices (VelaSmooth™ & Endermologie™) or simply one of our devices. A personalized program will be designed for you.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion a skin freshening technique that helps to reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation. Microdermabrasion is a natural and safe way to remove dead skin cells using crystals with gentle abrasion and suction. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be required.
Therapeutic Peels
Therapeutic Peels solutions to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers and inhibiting pigment production. Peels are beneficial in reducing breakouts and blemishes, controlling excess oil, softening facial lines and wrinkles, providing a smooth, even skin texture, and treating areas of blotchy or damaged skin. Therapeutic peels may also be used to remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and to even control acne. Various concentrations or strengths of peels are used to treat differing skin conditions and types. A fresher and improved skin texture will result with a therapeutic peel treatment program.
Injectables
These treatments fill wrinkles or folds, correct skin imperfections and remodel facial contours. Injectables come in a variety of wrinkle treatments and face and lip fillers.
Botox
Treats the lines that appear between the brows (glabellar lines) that result from muscle movement and the passage of time. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Treatment with Botox Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Botox is injected into the treated areas using an ultra fine needle and an improvement can be seen within days. Results can last up to 4 months, although this may vary by individual.
Juvederm
Similar in nature to one of the body's own natural substances (hyaluronic acid). Juvederm is injected into treated areas with an ultra fine needle. Once injected, itLifts and adds volume to those treated areas. Juverderm is a long lasting treatment that restores volume of the lips and smoothes contours to the face by filling in the deep wrinkles in treated areas.
Restylane/Perlane
Restylane/Perlane are safe and natural cosmetic fillers, used for wrinkle correction, lip enhancement, correcting thin superficial lines around the mouth and eyes, for shaping facial contours in the cheeks and chin and to correct skin deep folds. Restylane/Perlane are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The shape of the filler is maintained using the body's own moisture, and the effect remains for six to twelve months in most patients.
