An important message on sun safety.

June is Sun Awareness Month, which means it is time for our annual refresh on the very real dangers of prolonged, unprotected sun exposure. Take a quick glance in the mirror - has your skin changed since you were 18? Ours has too.

We often attribute the wrinkles, scars, freckles and spots, the large pores and sagging to run-of-the-mill aging: we get old with time and so does our skin. In truth, most of those changes were caused by the daily (unprotected) exposure we have had to the sun; its harmful, invisible waves of radiation affect the very makeup of our skin’s DNA. Some of its effects are what we consider cosmetic, others bear medical consequence.

Know the facts. The best practice is prevention - protect yourself from direct exposure when possible and wear sunscreen every day. Reverse damage with sound science - talk to us about medical-grade skincare and researched, clinically proven treatments. A healthier, clearer complexion is possible.

Trend report: men among fastest growing demographic in aesthetic medicine.

The sexes may not always see eye-to-eye, but most everyone would agree they’d like to look and feel their best with age. Today, male patients are looking for options that require minimal to no social downtime and help them keep their choice of treatment more private. Choice treatments also benefit overall wellness and, of course, all men want to ensure a manly outcome; natural results are critical.

With this in mind, we’ve developed a service for men that is both simple and discreet. Personal consultations feel easy and effortless. We build results slowly for an outcome that is subtle and comfortable. Best of all, our male patients report great improvements to self-confidence. It’s a great time for men to learn what’s possible.

To Mr. Twain’s point, aesthetic medicine is not about erasing all signs of a life well-lived - in fact, when done right, it should support a vigour for that same life as years go on. That is what it means to look as good as you feel. Here is how the landscape for men is changing:

To yield subtle, natural outcomes that improve self-confidence with age…

To resolve noticeable, bothersome spots…

And to redefine facial contours without downtime from real life.
