Botox Cosmetic® – Has been used in Canada for 20 years for natural-looking results. Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes muscles and is used for the treatment of wrinkles that are caused by muscle movements such as frowning and squinting. It gives excellent results for lifting the brow, sharpening the jaw line and for the lines around the eyes and on the forehead.
Other popular applications are in the neck and lower face for lip and chin lines and dimples, and to reposition the corners of the mouth. Not only is this procedure safe but you can return to your usual activities immediately. It is our most popular cosmetic procedure.
Botox Filler Soft Lift
The Soft Lift™ is one of our most popular combination treatments. Using Botox® with Juvederm™ and/or Voluma™ in a single treatment session, remarkable, natural-looking results are achieved that lift the toll of years, sun, stress and other lifestyle factors. To attain an even greater outcome consider adding a skin renewal treatment to the Soft Lift™.
Helping hands, neck and chest areas to match the improvements seen on the face is also a priority for many patients. Ask us how all of the procedures used to treat the face can be applied to other body concerns.
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to reduce fat in targeted areas of the body. It utilizes a technique called cryolipolysis, which essentially freezes fat cells. During a CoolSculpting session, a device is placed on the area of the body where fat reduction is desired. This device then applies controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells beneath the skin, without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The changes of aging go deeper than the skin, which is why soft tissue fillers play such an important role in rejuvenation. Today, patients want natural looking results and the dermal fillers we use to give just that. These versatile products literally fill in lines and folds and restore lost volume to the cheeks, jawline, chin and mouth area. They can also be used to reshape or enhance lips, lighten dark under-eye circles and fill in some scars.
The procedure may cause swelling and redness which lasts hours to days. We offer anesthetics for improved comfort. We use several different types of fillers and we continually evaluate what is new and safe. This service is priced according to the volume and the type of filler used and is determined at the time of consultation based on your individual needs and the area being treated. Benefits last 12 months or longer.
The SmartXide DOT™ is a great innovation for patients who have been using IPL, Botox® and dermal fillers who would like to do more for their skin’s texture or for the lines and laxity these treatments may not address. It is also an excellent choice for patients who prefer a non-injection solution for skin rejuvenation. The DOT combines the low downtime and safety profile of fractional techniques with effectiveness approaching that of a full resurfacing CO2 laser – the gold standard in skin resurfacing. The DOT works by safely breaking down old dysfunctional collagen and triggering new, robust collagen synthesis.
The skin becomes thicker, more elastic and healthier. It is the best choice for patients with distressing acne scarring, stretch marks or moderate and severe wrinkles. Because of its flexibility, we can also treat patients with earlier signs of skin aging of the face: sun spots, fine lines, crêpiness, loss of elasticity and enlarged pores, as well as safely treat the delicate eye area and non-facial areas such as the neck, chest and hands, which pose their own challenges. Depending on the goal and area treated, 1-3 treatments may be best and 4-8 days are needed for healing.
Photorejuvenation uses Intense Pulse Light (a type of laser) to treat sun damaged and aging skin. Light energy is delivered into the skin to safely target pigment or vascular irregularities. The goal is to improve skin texture, colour and reflectivity. This treatment works for brown spots, freckles, stretch marks, rosacea and other forms of dilated blood vessels of the face, neck, chest and other areas.
After the treatment, you may look as if you have been in the sun with flushing and darkened brown spots. Most people return to their usual activities immediately. Sun exposure should be avoided while undergoing any IPL treatments. Recommended as a course of 3 but may require 5 treatments especially with darker skin tones or advanced aging.

Combination Treatments
Combination treatments.
These treatments are used to refresh the skin by improving its texture and sheen. Exfoliation is an important aspect of any skin care regime because it removes the old outer layer of skin enabling the active ingredients and hydrators in the treatment and in skin care products to get to the deeper epidermal cells. A series of medical “facials” are given to safely exfoliate the outermost layer of the epidermis. The treatment is followed with a mask to calm, nourish and protect the freshly treated skin.
A tightening serum, peptides or other active ingredients may then be applied to the skin. Microdermabrasion can also be used as pre-treatment before photodynamic and DOT™ treatments, and to speed recovery after photo rejuvenation.
