Dr. Brace walks us through getting Profound Treatment: a nonsurgical face lift alternative for treating facial wrinkles and sagging skin in the jowels and neck area. It combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with ultrafine needles (microneedles) to get the laser energy below the skin so it can renew your skin from the inside out.

This lovely 73 year old lady underwent a bilateral temporal brow lift, upper lid blepharoplasty and transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty. The lower lid blepharoplasty incision was made on the inside of her eyelid and the ‘fat bags’ (orbital fat pads) were relocated into the tear trough deformity to soften and fill the shadows naturally. The eyelids were tightened with a canthopexy suture and a small amount of skin was excised using a pinch excision technique. Here sh...e is 3 months later, looking fantastic with natural and age appropriate but rejuvenated eyelids. Questions/Comments?

A shoutout and to our good friend @drlesliekim in Ohio for her very thorough write up of eyelash serums and her noteable #PSA. Swipe to see her infographics as she breaks down lash serums, their potential ingredients, side effects, and contraindications. Cosmetic products/ingredients do not undergo rigorous long-term safety and efficacy evaluations. ... They are not subject to FDA premarket approval and vary in the quality of consumer information provided. Topical bimatoprost 0.03% is the ONLY lash serum that is FDA-approved to increase the length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes. It requires a prescription from a physician. Guelph Facial Plastics carries this product (called Latisse) in clinic. @ Guelph Facial Plastics

This eye cream is the unsung hero of skincare, improving what is arguably the most beautiful part of the face. Knowing this, @vivierskin created the GrenzCine Eye to stand out from the rest and create real results for your complexion, increasing firmness, luminosity, and diminishing the appearance of fine lines - maybe that's why it was awarded @ellecanada’s Beauty Grand Prix Award for Top Eye Product of 2019. #repost @vivierskin

What is Dysport? Dysport Aesthetic is an injection used to temporarily soften the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and crow’s feet lines (lateral canthal lines). Dysport is part of the same botulinum toxin family as Botox. ABOUT FROWN LINES & CROW’S FEET... Glabellar lines or frown lines are vertical wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows. Crow’s feet are lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes. Frown lines and crow’s feet are created by repeated facial expressions and movements, like frowning and squinting, so they can start to appear at a younger age. But there are other factors that can cause or worsen the appearance of frown lines, including: Sun Exposure UV light in the sun can damage collagen Aging can create a loosening of collagen fibres and decreased skin elasticity Smoking can reduce the amount of new collagen produced Repeated facial expressions The good news is that treatments like Dysport can treat them both and help create a smoother, younger-looking appearance. You should see results 4-10 days after injection. Dysport is injected into the muscles around your frown lines and/or crow’s feet. Dr. Brace will determine how many injections are needed, the right dose, and where to inject for the desired effect. Treatment generally takes 10-20 minutes. The improvements seen with Dysport Aesthetic are only temporary and typically last 3-4 months. Questions/Comments?
