Doctor Bri

hello! so many new faces, so I thought I would take an opportunity to re-introduce myself. I’m Dr. Bri Budlovsky, and I am a specialist ER physician practicing both emergency and cosmetic medicine in Victoria, BC. I am a mama to two little girls, a novice pelotoner, and an artist. I am passionate about sharing clear, evidence-based information and empowering people with critical thinking skills.... I drink a lot of coffee, ask a lot of questions, and am so happy you’re here!

Wondering what a neuromodulator appointment looks like? my latest blog post lifts the curtain and walks you through a step-by-step of consultation and treatment. Visit www.DoctorBri.ca to read!

THE EYES HAVE IT While there are many non-prescription lash serums on the market, only one is regulated and FDA approved - it requires a prescription. Topical medications can be used to increase both the number and length of eyelashes by prolonging the growth phase of a hair’s life cycle. As with any drug, side effects are possible, so it is important to talk to an MD about what you are applying around your eyes!

Just before Christmas, I was honoured to receive a #CovidHero award from @viatec for my messaging here during the pandemic. This was a huge surprise - and very touching. The truth is, this platform has been a way for me to connect with YOU - my community - during this isolating and uncertain time, and a (dare I say) silver lining of this crazy year. This giant moon man will serve as a reminder that even in darkness it is possible to create light Thank you all!

Don’t forget your ears! With age, cartilage and collagen break down, causing sag. Years of heavy earrings can also lead to elongation of piercings, making wearing earrings a challenge. Did you know that filler can be used to restore volume so that you can wear those hoops again? Minimal downtime, no repeat piercings, and no surgery.
