Did you know?
Morpheus8 isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment.

One of the reasons I love this technology is the multiple tip configurations, which allow me to safely and precisely treat the face by customizing depth, size, and energy for your skin.

This means:
✔ Targeted collagen stimulation
✔ Safer facial treatments
✔ Results that are intentional, not aggressive

As a nurse, my approach is always science-based, anatomy-driven, and individualized. Your skin deserves a plan not a preset.

Thank you for being part of 2025. As we step into a new year, I’m reflecting on the one just passed.

Once again, this year was centred around education.
Cadaver labs.
Lectures.
Hands-on full-face training.
Advanced temple work.
Biostimulator hands on education.
Time in the operating room alongside Dr. Jenny.

Specialty aesthetic nursing isn’t something you invest in once it’s a journey you commit to, year after year.

Anatomy doesn’t stay static.
Techniques evolve.
Standards rise.

And with every layer of learning comes a deeper understanding of responsibility knowing not just how to treat, but when to pause, when to say no, and when less truly is more.

As we welcome a new year, my commitment remains the same: to continue learning, refining, and practicing with intention, humility, and respect for the trust placed in me.

On a personal note:
I walked the Brooklyn Bridge (bucket list ✔️)

I had high tea at the Fairmont Empress in Banff; I’ll never pass up high tea.

I finally made it to Salt Spring Island, explored, and hit the market. It only took me years of saying, “I really need to do that.”

Thank you for being part of that journey. I’ll see you in 2026.

Why do changes stop feeling noticeable over time?

It isn’t because the result faded.

It’s because your brain adapted.

Neuroscience calls this habituation the process where the brain reduces its response to anything that becomes familiar. It’s the same reason a new haircut feels exciting for a week… and then simply feels like you.

When a change is introduced, the brain reacts to contrast. Once that contrast becomes your new baseline, the brain stops flagging it as “new,” even though the change is still present.

This is especially true with subtle, natural results. Improvements that are designed to integrate not announce themselves are meant to settle into your identity. When that happens, perception quiets.

Feeling “used to” a result is not dissatisfaction.

It’s neurological acceptance.

This is also why people can unintentionally overdo treatments. That’s often the moment you’ll hear me say:
“You don’t need that.”

This is also why objective tools matter more than the mirror alone. Side-by-side photos, follow-ups, and professional assessment help separate perception from reality.

The goal has never been to look so changed that you’re unrecognizable. It’s to feel comfortable enough that the change disappears into you.

If you’re unsure whether something is needed, a professional consultation can help clarify what supports your goals and what doesn’t.

And that’s a wrap on 2025!

Just finished my last appointment of the year, and I’m officially clocking out of clinic mode and stepping into festive chaos mode. If you need me, I’ll be over here pretending shortbread is a legitimate food group. We seriously had the best homemade shortbread from one of our patients!

I’ll be back in clinic on January 2nd, but you’ll still see me online between now and then.

Wishing you a holiday season filled with good skin days, good people, good food, and the chance to be fully present with the ones you love. ❤

I’m sharing this review because it reflects what matters most in my practice: trust, collaboration, education, and a long-term relationship to aging well.

In aesthetics, the technical side is important but the relationship is just as essential. Before any treatment, there is listening, assessing, understanding goals, reviewing health history, and making sure the plan feels right for the patient.

This review speaks to the parts of my work that I value deeply:
• taking time to explain the “why” behind every decision
•creating thoughtful, individualized plans
• supporting patients in feeling informed, safe, and understood
• focusing on healthy, natural aging not chasing trends

People don’t choose an injector based on one appointment. They choose based on trust, communication, and alignment in philosophy.

That’s why I chose to share this not as a promise of results, but as a reminder of what intentional, patient-centred care looks like in real life.

If this approach aligns with what you’re looking for, I’m here when you’re ready to start the conversation.

Understanding Neuromodulator Dosing

In aesthetic medicine, the most important part of any treatment is not the product itself it’s the assessment, the plan, and the clinical reasoning behind how and why it’s used.

Every dose of a neuromodulator is carefully tailored to your anatomy, muscle activity, and goals. There is no universal amount and no template that applies to everyone. What you see here are simply the vials the real work happens long before anything is ever drawn up.

My role is to:
• assess movement patterns and baseline anatomy
• understand how your muscles work together
• determine safe, evidence-informed dosing
• and create a plan that respects natural expression and function

Education is a core part of every consultation. We review how neuromodulators work, what they can and cannot do, appropriate treatment intervals, and how to support realistic expectations. Transparency and informed decision-making aren’t optional they’re foundational.

Disclaimer: Neuromodulators are a category of prescription medications. Botox® is one brand, but it is not the only option. Product selection is individualized and based on clinical assessment and patient-specific factors.

If you’re curious about treatment, the conversation always begins with an assessment, not a syringe. My priority is safe practice, clear communication, and outcomes that respect your natural anatomy.

This is 48, no hiding it, no shame in it, only so much gratitude for another trip around the sun.

I have to say birthdays feel different as the years go by. The older I get, the more aware I become of time how it stretches, shrinks, blurs, and gathers up whole seasons while I’m busy living inside them. Some years feel like chapters, others like lifetimes.

This year, I could feel the aging process in a new way and it made me pay attention. So I decided to take action. I went for a DEXA scan, booked in with my Naturopath, joined boot camp classes, and became much more mindful of my choices.

And honestly? I’m ending this year stronger than I started.
Stronger in my body.
Stronger in my habits.
Stronger in the way I care for myself as I age.

Aging isn’t something I fear, it's something I’m learning to meet with intention, awareness, and a whole lot of gratitude. This year reminded me that we don’t get to slow time, but we do get to shape how we move through it.

So here are 10 gentle reminders I’m carrying with me.

Thank you for following the journey!

“When people say ‘vanity,’ they usually mean ‘confidence I don’t understand.’”

I hear this more often than you’d think the idea that caring about your skin, your aging process, or your confidence must somehow be “vain.”

But here’s the truth I see every day in clinic:
Wanting to feel comfortable in your skin is not vanity.Wanting to look rested, healthy, or like yourself again is not vanity. Investing in your wellbeing inside and out is not vanity.

It’s fuelling confidence!

Most of the women I see aren’t trying to look younger. They’re trying to look like themselves, just without the heaviness, dullness, or fatigue that life (and hormones, and stress, and time) can bring.

Positive aging isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about supporting your skin, your structure, and your confidence in a way that feels aligned with your values not anyone else’s opinion.

If caring for your skin brings you joy, confidence, or comfort, that’s not vanity. That’s you choosing to show up in the world the way you feel inside.

❤ Healthy, natural, confident aging that’s our lane!

I’m here to discuss individualized approaches during a consultation if that’s something you’re exploring.

There’s a difference between skin that’s moisturized and skin that’s hydrated from within.

Serums can pe*****te the skin but only to a certain level. Creams can support your barrier, but SkinVive™ does something different.

Think of it like a micro-serum placed just beneath the skin, where your own hyaluronic acid naturally lives. It can help improve skin smoothness and hydration and the results can last for up to six months.

Patients often describe it as:
✨ “light reflects better,”
✨ “makeup sits smoother,”
✨ “my skin just looks… fresher.”
✨ "my fine lines look softer."

SkinVive™ it’s about improving the quality of the skin itself. Skin health matters just as much as structure.

If you’ve ever wondered what healthy, hydrated, “undetectably refreshed” skin looks like this is one of my favourite places to start.

Positive aging begins with healthy skin.

If you’re curious whether this treatment may be appropriate for you, feel free to reach out to book a consultation.

It’s easy to talk about results, technology, or training, but the real magic at Dr. Jenny Skincare is the team.

Three very different strengths, one one common goal:

• Dr. Jenny — steady leadership and clinical excellence

• Tamara — organization, heart and the glue that holds everything together

• Nurse Moreen — connection and a drive to keep learning

We communicate openly. We challenge each other. We celebrate the wins and somehow the work feels lighter because we do it together.

Last night wasn’t about treatment plans, patients, or protocols just good food, laughter and gratitude to work together.

There’s no shortcut to a team that works this well. We are all agreeable of something simple: good medicine begins with good people.

Hello December, goodbye November 🤍

What a month it was. November’s recap included temple training, the Allergan Signature LiftUp with a live demonstration from the amazing Leah Dumaine, two Zoom education sessions, and most importantly a month filled with wonderful patients.

I’m grateful every day for the work I get to do.

Now to welcome one of my favourite times of year…..

A Slow, Thoughtful Approach to a Treatment Plan

This patient had always taken care of herself, but she began noticing subtle signs of aging that didn’t reflect how she felt inside. She wasn’t interested in doing “everything at once” or making dramatic changes. What she wanted was a plan, something steady, natural, and aligned with her long-term goals.

So, over the course of 10 months, we worked together one step at a time. We started with neuromodulators to gently soften overactive muscles and create a more relaxed, refreshed expression. Once those softened, we added mid-cheek support to restore foundational structure. This helped improve light reflection, balance, and overall harmony of the midface. We introduced the lower face, subtle, hydrating lip treatment, not for volume, but for improved softness and definition. When appropriate, we added small, precise treatment to the temple area to restore a bit of support where natural volume loss occurs with time. Along the way she incorporated skin health and treatments.

Each appointment had space for discussion. Each step was intentional, anatomically guided, and aligned with what she felt ready for. Nothing rushed. Nothing excessive. Just steady, thoughtful care.

Her journey is a great reminder that you don’t need six syringes in one sitting. You don’t need to change everything at once. You can move slowly, check in often, and build toward your goals at a pace that feels right to you.

This is what medical aesthetics looks like when it’s grounded in education, collaboration, and a respect for natural anatomy. Aging isn’t something to fix. It’s something we navigate together with a plan that feels authentic to you.

Can more work be done? Absolutely. However, it doesn’t need to be not if the patient is happy, supported, and aligned with their goals. The beauty of a paced, thoughtful approach is that you can stop when it feels right, or continue when you’re ready.
