This month I had a terrible moment: my husband was driving me to work and I happened to open the visor mirror. OMG! The slanting early morning light and the position of my arm combined to reveal every little crepey wrinkle on my decolletage! Picture taken on that fateful morning, gives you an idea of [...]
I used to think that I would need a lid lift or blepharoplasty. As I approached my 40s, I could see my lids getting heavier. It was a family trait: I was heading down the same path as my mother and my older sister. As we age, our skin levels of collagen and elastin decline, making [...]

I love the French term for it: décolleté or décolletage. The English term, chest, sounds so mundane and, maybe, masculine. We're not just talking about the breasts but rather, the lovely expanse of skin from the neck down; the part that looks very inviting framed in a nicely-shaped neckline. Even if you're carrying a few extra [...]
Introducing GrenzCine Eye cream from Vivier. Here's the thing that makes it different from other eye creams: You can apply it to your mobile eyelid! If you tried that with most other effective eye creams, the cream would get into your eye and sting like the dickens. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. As we age, [...]
About 10 years ago, we started using dermal fillers in a different way, to restore softness and lift to the face. Here are the before and after pictures of Kathy, who was in our 10 Years Younger in Burlington program: You can see that Kathy's filler has lifted her cheeks making her face look more [...]
Prior to 10 years ago, dermal fillers were used to fill specific wrinkles and to augment to the lips. This approach might work for a younger woman who has generally good skin and good volume in her face but for most people, the results were lackluster. Early techniques I found this picture on the internet and [...]
"Are you tired?" "What are you so mad about?" "You look sad today." How often do you hear questions like that and think "I'm not tired" "I'm not mad about anything" "I feel fine" ? As we age, wrinkles become ingrained, and our faces lose volume in all the wrong places, making us look angry, sad [...]
Editor's note: We have upgraded to newer and better equipment called the ACS pen. The general principles of how the treatment works remains the same. However the needles are finer so the healing is much faster. Most people leave us looking like they haven't had anything done, and the degree of pinkness, dryness, tightness and flakiness [...]
Botox is the original wrinkle-buster. It relaxes the muscles where it is injected so they can't form the folds in the skin that lead to wrinkles. Now Canadians have access to 2 more muscle relaxants: Xeomin and Dysport. These 3 agents differ from each other in their composition, leading to differences in onset of action, ability [...]
