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, [...]
Dermal filler use is much more scientific now than it was in earlier years and the products available for injection keep getting better and better. Our focus is now on the whole face, the proportions of the face and the specific structures that have changed. Dermal fillers are used in many different locations to restore lost [...]
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.

"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 [...]
I met with a woman for the first time yesterday for a consultation about CoolSculpting. I'll call her Jane. After we had gone through everything, she shared that she had had a consultation at a different clinic and that it had been a completely different experience. In fact, it was so different that I feel compelled [...]
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 [...]
