Always Cold? This May Be Why.

Hormone Imbalance Can Increase Cold Sensitivity
-Low thyroid hormone levels are a common cause of increased sensitivity to cold.
-Hypothyroidism affects 4.6% of adults, and is often undiagnosed for years.
-Women with untreated thyroid conditions are twice as likely to experience severe sensitivity to cold.
-Long-term thyroid dysfunction can lead to a 20-30% decline in metabolic function, affecting weight and energy levels.

It’s Fall at Pivital!

Laser Treatments are Back!
If you’re ready to do a Broadband Light (BBL) treatment or the profractional Halo laser, fall is the perfect time to book.

Check that your inside forearm colour is similar to your face colour for maximum comfort. The less tan you have the better!

Start Up Retinols
The benefits of retinol include:

1. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Retinol stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and more youthful.

2. Improves Skin Texture: By increasing cell turnover, retinol helps to exfoliate the skin, improving overall texture and promoting a brighter, more even complexion.

3. Treats Acne: Retinol helps prevent clogged pores, which can reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts. It also speeds up cell turnover, promoting clearer skin.

Retinol does make your skin sun-sensitive, so fall is the perfect time to adjust to your new retinol routine!

Hyped about HQ

Hydroquinone is highly effective in lightening dark spots, age spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production in the skin.

Hydroquinone (HQ) in skincare products is very powerful when used properly. It also makes your skin photosensitive, so the fall is a great time to start.

*HQ treatments need to be slowly built up, and slowly decreased after 3 months. Do not stay on an HQ treatment longer than prescribed as over-use can lead to permanent marks in the skin.

Get Going!

Book a consultation with Dr. Tetley to get started with any new laser treatments.

Resurface Your Stretch Marks This Winter
- Here’s How

You’re Not Alone

-Stretch marks affect men and women of all ages and races.
-Between 75 and 90 percent of pregnant women develop them during their third trimester.
-Stretch marks also strike in 70 percent of adolescent females and 40 percent of adolescent males due to growth spurts.
-Stretch marks never completely go away, but can be greatly reduced in texture, colour and depth with a series of microneedling treatments.

Microneedling is used to create microscopic injuries in the stretch marks, and the body responds by producing new collagen at the wound sites.
-This natural reaction by the body heals the tears in the dermis responsible for the stretch marks.
-Stretch marks require a series of 4-6 microneedling sessions, at 4-6 week intervals.
-People feel very little to no sensation during treatments, but everyone must follow the guidelines for healing time - for about 1 week.

Results
-You can expect significant improvement in the texture, appearance, colour and depth of stretch marks after 4-6 treatments.
-There is a low risk of hyperpigmentation and healing time is quick - complete healing in under 2 weeks.
-People prone to keloid scars should not have this treatment, nor should people who have recently tanned.
-The fall and winter is the perfect time to treat stretch marks!

Sleep & Hormones:
How Hormone Optimization Can Improve Your Rest

Remember sleep in your 20’s?
You can have that again!

The Sleep - Hormone Connections

Why do hormones affect sleep?
*Estradiol & progesterone influence sleep quality
*Low estradiol can lead to night sweats & insomnia
*Progesterone has a natural sedative effect
*Melatonin - the “sleep hormone” can be suppressed by light
*Testosterone supports deep sleep, low levels can lead to sleep disturbances

How Hormone Optimization Works
*Hormone optimization can reduce night sweats & hot flashes that disrupt sleep
*Balancing testosterone and progesterone can improve sleep duration & quality
*Optimize melatonin to fall asleep faster
*Hormone Optimization works best when personalized - What works for someone else may not work for you.

At Pivital, Dr. Tetley provides evidence-based, life-enhancing sleep management to men and woman who deal with insomnia and poor sleep quality due to aging and hormonal changes.

The Benefits of BBL Broadband Laser For Couples

Share the Benefits
*BBL targets and reduces signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and age spots by stimulating collagen production in the skin. This results in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

*Both men and women love the results. You can split BBL packages to share costs - and you can come in for treatments together. Share the excitement of a new treatment!

Share the Reaction
*Immediately after treatment the skin will be darker in colour and possibly red and flushed.

*But these reactions subside quickly, even within a few hours. Brown spots fade and completely slough off within 14 days.

*Why do it alone?! Find out who has the most sun damage, and who gets the best results with each treatment!

Easy Upkeep
*Studies show that people who undertake lifestyle changes with a friend or partner keep them up longer and get the most benefit from them.

*All you need to do to maintain results is use a gentle cleanser, a medical grade moisturizer and a sunscreen.

*If you use medical grade products you will find your skin will continue to improve between treatments in tone, texture and softness.

Talk to Dr. Tetley about what results you can expect with BBL Laser treatments.
