Innovation at Terra Skin Clinic: Advancing Skincare with Cutting-Edge Treatments

Terra Skin Clinic • September 5, 2024

Introducing a new standard of skincare excellence, Terra Skin Clinic leads the way in innovative treatments with the guidance of Dr. Zhi Lynn Fong, a board-certified family physician specializing in skin disorders and restorative aesthetic dermatology. Her dedication to personalized care and patient education shapes our focus on cutting-edge procedures customized to individual skin needs and beauty goals.


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): A Multifaceted Approach to Skin Concerns


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are a cornerstone of our clinic's service offerings. This form of light therapy addresses a wide range of skin conditions and aesthetic goals, from rosacea and facial redness to age spots and sun damage. IPL utilizes optimized pulsed light technology which, unlike lasers, uses many wavelengths of light with special filters that deliver the best wavelengths to treat specific aesthetic conditions. Specialized pulses of light are delivered to your skin to target brown spots, sun damage and vessels without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once these targets absorb the energy they are destroyed and will slowly disappear through your body’s natural healing process. 


The frequency of treatments is tailored to the condition being treated, and the results are transformative: reduced redness and pigmentations, even skin tone, and improved skin texture, to name a few. Our IPL system, Icon™ by Cynosure is the only pulsed light technology in the world to utilize a Health Canada and FDA-cleared melanin reader, to help us safely tailor each treatment to our client’s skin type, lifestyle, ethnicity and sun exposure.


Revolutionizing Skin Rejuvenation with RF Microneedling


RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that infuses traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This innovative treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced skin firmness. At Terra Skin Clinic, we also offer RF Microneedling with PRF, a powerful combination that leverages the rejuvenating capabilities of radiofrequency energy, microneedling, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for maximum results. 


Our Potenza™ radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system utilizes its one-of-a-kind Fusion Tip for enhanced topical penetration customized to your specific concern. With its dual-air chamber design, the Fusion Tip captures and releases air towards the skin with each pulse, enhancing the penetration of topicals into the skin by 67% for maximum results. Unlike other skin revitalization treatments, these treatments can be performed on all skin types, anywhere on the body and at any time of the year. 


Steroid Injections for Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars


Steroid injections are an effective treatment for reducing inflammation and softening scar tissue. Particularly effective for hypertrophic and keloid scars, this procedure can significantly reduce the size and appearance of these types of scars. Lidocaine may be combined with the steroid to lessen pain, whereas using adjunctive cryotherapy immediately before injection may improve the efficacy of the treatment by softening the scar.


Laser Resurfacing: Pairing Precision and Care for Skin Restoration


Terra Skin Clinic offers fractional non-ablative laser skin resurfacing treatments that effectively address fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and UV-induced skin damage with minimal recovery time. Specialized pulses of energy are delivered into your skin and target your unwanted pigment, wrinkles, stretch marks or scars without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once the energy is absorbed into the skin your body’s natural healing process will begin creating new, healthy skin in the area that was treated by collagen synthesis. 


PRP: Harnessing the Power of Growth Factors


Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a revolutionary procedure that stimulates rejuvenation using the patient's own blood. It can be used to stimulate hair growth; reduce dark circles and eyebags; rejuvenate the face through wrinkle reduction, plumping and tightening; as well as aiding wound healing and scar removal. Scalp PRP injection is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss, with results that include improved hair thickness and density. In Terra Skin Clinic, we utilize the Arthrex™ ACP™, the only all-in-one closed system available in Canada that provides the highest concentration of pure platelets (PRP) and fibrin (PRF) from your own plasma, without the use of anticoagulants or synthetic additives.


Skin Lesion Removal


Our physicians with a special interest in skin disorders and dermoscopy will assess the nature of the lesion and determine the most suitable removal method for cosmetic purposes. We utilize electrosurgery, cryotherapy, shaving and elliptical excisions to remove various benign skin lesions. Our goal is to ensure minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic results while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
