Peterborough

Dermatology is central to the Peterborough clinic's medical approach. Beyond providing medical and aesthetic dermatology services, the team's expertise informs how concerns such as redness, pigmentation, acne and changes in skin texture are assessed and treated. These concerns can have different underlying causes, making an understanding of skin health important when selecting appropriate treatments.

Dr. Melinda Gooderham also brings extensive experience in clinical research and medical education. As Medical Director and Principal Investigator at the SKiN Centre for Dermatology, her involvement in research helps keep her clinical practice informed by developments in dermatology, aesthetic technologies and treatment techniques.

This combination of dermatological expertise and research experience supports an approach to aesthetic medicine that considers both the appearance and underlying health of the skin.

Advanced Laser and Skin Rejuvenation

Advanced laser treatments have been part of the Peterborough clinic since its beginnings as Skin Laser Clinic Peterborough. Today, its range of laser, light-based and skin rejuvenation technologies addresses concerns ranging from active acne and pigmentation to uneven texture and visible signs of aging.

BBL Forever Clear targets active acne, while BBL Forever Young addresses sun damage, pigmentation, redness and uneven skin tone. For patients looking to improve texture, enlarged pores, fine lines or signs of aging, Halo and fractional laser technologies offer different levels of skin resurfacing.

Additional treatments, including microneedling, Bela MD and chemical peels, provide options for improving skin texture, clarity and overall skin quality, often with different recovery requirements than more intensive laser procedures.

Facial Rejuvenation and Collagen Stimulation

Facial aging involves several changes that can occur together, including expression lines, volume loss, changes in facial contours, skin laxity and declining skin quality. Peterborough offers a range of injectable and energy-based treatments to address these concerns.

Neuromodulators help soften expression lines, while dermal fillers can restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. Collagen biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse support the skin's natural collagen production over time, while hybrid injectables like HArmonyCa combine immediate volume enhancement with collagen stimulation. Skin boosters provide another option for improving hydration and overall skin quality.

For skin laxity, technologies such as Ultherapy and Exilis Ultra offer non-surgical options to stimulate collagen and improve firmness. These treatments address different aspects of facial aging and may complement injectable treatments or laser resurfacing when multiple concerns are present.
