When I was growing up, my mother made it clear that Gifts for Mom such as a new vacuum cleaner, kitchen appliance or other household item were not going to go over well at Christmas or her birthday.It would be safe to say that we all knew that instant death would follow any gift that was [...]
I've complained in a previous post about a product advertised on the msn homepage that promised to transform a very wrinkled face to a smooth one so I felt a little funny writing the title of this post.However, SkinMedica has a new product (to Canada at least) called TNS Line Refine that really works. This is [...]
I used to feel anxious when a family gathering or holiday time was coming up. I knew that there would be photos taken and mine would always depress the h*** out of me.Now I'm pretty happy with the way I look: beautiful smooth radiant skin, cheeks restored to their correct position, taut jawline, fresh-looking eyes.My transformation [...]
One of the features that differentiates a feminine from a masculine face is the width of the face at the jawline. We may accept a masculine face where the lower face is wider than the upper but a wide lower face is considered to detract from feminine beauty.In many cases, the excessive width of the lower [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I met an attractive 38 year old woman who complained of always looking tired. She had deep circles around her eyes and flattening of her cheeks.I recommended Teosyal dermal filler to restore the volume in her cheeks and smooth out the hollows under her eyes.We did the injections and my client [...]

Her wrinkles are deep and extensive, [...]

I guess it's the old pattern of starting a new school year with new goals and dreams for the future.The leisurely pace of life that we enjoyed in the summer months is past and now we look forward to fall fashions and upcoming social events. Here [...]
For a lot of teens, acne becomes a big deal during the school year. Maybe it's because stress levels are higher or winter weather stresses the skin more or maybe it's because hanging out with a large group of peers every day makes the teen more conscious of skin problems. Whatever the cause, a lot of [...]
This is our makeup specialist, Claire. She wanted very full lips like Scarlett Johansson's (below).Her upper lip was relatively small compared with the lower so I split the syringe of Teosyal KISS with 0.7 mL going in the upper, 0.3 mL in the lower.Claire's results really suit her features and her style. She already had full [...]
This is Jaclyn, another esthetician at Advanced Rejuvenation. Jaclyn's personal style is feminine and dramatic so her small lips weren't working for her.She's had a total of 1 syringe of Juvederm in her lips, creating a very pretty and natural result. Her preference would be to go even bigger in the lips so you may see [...]
