It’s common to have questions about your skin and experience nuanced cases. The following information can guide you through your skin health journey and provide solutions to common skin concerns. Please speak to a member of our team for a plan designed specifically for your skin. For longer formatted content, please read our blog.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of aging and not harmful to the skin. You may see shallow, small creases or deeper folds in the skin around your eyes, forehead or near your mouth. Or your skin might feel slightly rough and appear looser or saggier in certain areas. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced or softened.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Neuromodulators, Microneedling, Dermal Fillers, skin boosters, and medical-grade topicals containing retinoids, peptides, and growth factors that stimulate collagen production. (Speak to one of our clinical specialists to find a product that’s right for you.)
Sagging Skin
If your skin is hanging or folding, especially around the jawline and cheeks, you may be experiencing sagging skin. Your skin could also feel thinner, fragile, and droopy, which occurs more commonly near or around the chin, neck, eyelids, or arms. Sagging skin is also a natural part of aging and can be treated in several ways.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Targeted microneedling, biostimulants, neuromodulators, topicals, and oral collagen

Hyperpigmentation, Dark Spots, or Sun Damage
An excess production of pigment (caused by a variety of factors, including inflammation, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and medications) or sun damage can cause your skin to look darker, blotchy, or discoloured. Your skin may feel slightly rough in texture and you may notice small freckles, larger patches, or wider spread discolouring. The face, hands, neck and other areas of the skin can be exposed to the sun frequently so it’s important to take good care of your skin and prevent it from damage.

Acne and Breakouts
Anyone can experience acne and breakouts at any age and for various reasons (hormones, stress, diet, and environmental factors). The common symptoms include red or inflamed bumps, large or small in size. You may notice swollen spots or small, clogged pores, cystic lesions, or experience an excess of oil in your skin, resulting in a shiny appearance. Your skin may feel sore, be sensitive, itchy, or irritated, or you may notice dry, peeling, flaking skin.
PACKAGE RECOMMENDATION
Radiance Program
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Chemical peels, medical-grade topicals with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids, as well as lifestyle factors (regularly cleaning bedding, handheld devices, improving hydration and sleep, and reducing greasy foods, sugar, and alcohol intake)
Dull or Uneven Skin Texture
Skin can commonly and easily look flat, tired, and dull, especially if lifestyle factors (alcohol intake, poor eating and sleep habits, stress) or environmental factors (weather, pollutants, unsanitary spaces) are negatively impacting. You may see or feel uneven patches, dryness, or small bumps that make your skin coarse or you could experience peeling, dry or flaky skin. Dull or uneven skin usually requires rejuvenation and replenishment.
