Estrogen in Men: It’s More Important Than You Think!

When we think of estrogen, we often think of it as a female hormone, however, men need estrogen too.

Many men turn to aromatase inhibitors(AI’s) to keep estrogen low, but this can lead to unwanted side effects like joint pain, reduced libido, reduced quality of sleep and poor cardiac outcomes.

Having healthy levels of estrogen supports strong bones, heart protection, and even boosts mental clarity. So instead of blocking estrogen, the goal is to balance it; making sure both testosterone and estrogen are optimal.

Simple and subtle results after lip filler.

Our focus is on enhancing your natural shape for a refreshed look, not overdoing it. Sometimes, a small change makes all the difference.

Curious about Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and why it’s so beneficial? Here’s what the treatment entails and why it stands out.

What’s the process?
1. We draw a small amount of blood, just like a routine blood test.
2. Your blood is placed in a specialized centrifuge and spun at LOW speeds to carefully separate out the platelet rich fibrin. The gentle speed preserves more growth factors, white blood cells and stem cells, making it far more effective then PRP.
3. The result? A fibrin matrix rich in healing factors which is then injected into the treatment area to stimulate natural regeneration.

If your looking to improve hair thickness and follicle count, enhance the appearance of under-eye areas and skin, minimize acne scars or relieve joint pain and boost joint health, PRF is for you!

Menopause is a natural transition, but it comes with risks that can significantly impact quality of life. From osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, to sexual dysfunction, sarcopenia (muscle loss), cognitive decline, and recurrent UTIs—these changes can feel overwhelming.

This weekend, I had the privilege of learning from some of the top physicians, researchers, and metabolic health specialists. We dove deep into the latest on hormone therapy, weight management, exercise physiology, and strategies to enhance longevity.

These risk factors are why I’m so passionate about treating women, not only does BHRT help with symptoms but it helps PREVENT chronic disease.

Let’s discuss how we can navigate this transition together.

I am back in the clinic today after a week of vacation with my family! We visited Seattle and Victoria our boys got to see their first NFL game(so much fun)!

As a small business owner it’s hard to get away from work at times, I worry about my clients and my business, and hope everything and everyone is ok while I’m away. It may sound silly but it’s hard to step away mentally. Are you a small business owner? Do you feel the same?

Tox Results🎉

This client is young, wanted to look refreshed and to prevent static lines from forming.

This was at her two week follow up, she had slightly more movement in her left brow than her right. A follow up visit after 2-3 weeks is always a good idea to make any adjustments, to ensure placement and dosing was effective and most of all to ensure the client’s satisfaction!

Did you know??

Toxin treatments are one of the top cosmetic procedures in North America?! One of the most commonly treated area is the “number 11’s” or Glabella complex-those pesky lines between the brows.

Why is it so popular?

Neurotoxins smooth out lines and giving a refreshed and lifted appearance. Treatments are very safe and require little downtime.

Did you know that over a third of Canadian adults don’t meet recommended magnesium intake levels. 🤯

Why does this matter? This mineral plays a crucial role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, influencing everything from nerve function to muscle health. Magnesium is also one of the most essential minerals to help balance thyroid hormones. Magnesium deficiency can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, and mood changes.
During your consultation, I may recommend adding a magnesium supplement into your daily routine. I personally suggest Mag Glycinate, a specialized supplement developed for optimal absorption and stomach gentleness. Unlike certain other magnesium forms, Magnesium Glycinate doesn’t depend on stomach acidity for absorption, rendering it suitable for individuals with sensitive digestive systems.

Next time you pop by the clinic, ask me about Mag Glycinate.

Hydration with lip filler💋

Hyaluronic acid(HA), the primary ingredient in HA fillers is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (sugar), in the body. It plays a crucial role in cushioning the joints and hydrating the skin.

As we age, we lose HA, which can increased dryness of the skin and wrinkles become more visible.

By using HA fillers, we can rehydrate the skin and fill in fine lines within the lips. This can give a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Before and after lip filler treatment!

This client wished a fuller upper lip and was very adamant she wanted a natural result. She had a poor experience with lip filler over 10 years ago and was understandably nervous. Thankfully, our products, techniques and education have come a LONG way in the past 10 years!

I used a soft, adaptable filler and she was very happy with the natural result and was surprised at how painless her injections were.

The second picture was taken 1 week after a “lipflip” and immediately after 0.5 mls of filler.

The fear of discomfort often holds people back from experiencing the amazing benefits of injectables. But what do injectables REALLY feel like? Let's break it down 👇🏻

👉 Botox: It's just a quick little pinch! Most are pleasantly surprised by how minimal the discomfort is. (I love Botox, and you barely feel a thing!)

👉 Dermal Fillers: Can be a bit spicier, but fear not! Topical numbing creams and distraction tools like squeeze balls and vibration tools are at your disposal to ease any discomfort.

👉 PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin): Many report tolerable discomfort. More discomort than Botox but less than filler. Often times, it's more pressure than it is pain. PRF is also reported to be more comfortable than PRP due to the absence of anticoagulants.

Your comfort is my priority. During your consultation, we'll discuss pain management strategies and ensure your appointment is as comfortable as possible.
