“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.

How much is actually in a syringe of filler?

Here’s the truth most people don’t realize: One syringe is only 1 mL is about the size of a blueberry.

In a face made of multiple structural layers, fat pads, ligaments, and support zones, 1 mL doesn’t create “big” changes. It creates refinement.

That’s why thoughtful, natural filler plans often include:
🍒 Multiple syringes placed strategically
🍒 Layering over time for stability and longevity
🍒 Treating foundation areas (cheeks, temples, chin) before fine-tuning details.

The face isn’t just one line or one fold, it’s a complex, layered, three-dimensional structure. Skilled injectors look beyond the surface. We don’t simply soften a crease; we consider the deeper support system that shapes the entire face.

The goal isn’t to “fill.” It’s to gently rebuild the areas that have lost structure over time, creating balance and restoring natural contours in an anatomically thoughtful way.

When filler is done properly, it doesn’t look done at all, it just looks like you, refreshed in the most subtle, believable way.

There’s an art to injecting, but there’s also a responsibility.

Before a needle ever touches the skin, there’s assessment, anatomy, safety planning, and a whole lot of intention.

Because your face isn’t a trend it’s structure, identity, expression, and confidence.

In every appointment, my job is to:
✔ understand your goals
✔ respect your natural shape
✔ protect your anatomy
✔ and create results that look undetectably refreshed

No overfilling. No chasing lines. No doing “the most.”

Just thoughtful, medically directed care, the kind that lets you look in the mirror and still see you.

Healthy. Balanced. Beautiful. This is…Injecting Healthy Beauty!

What Is Temple Filler and Why Do We Use It?

When we think about aging, most people focus on lines and wrinkles… but one of the earliest (and most overlooked) changes happens in the temples.

As we age, we naturally lose fat, bone, and structural support in this area. This leads to:
* A hollow or concave appearance
* A more angular, tired look
* Brow descent and increased upper eyelid heaviness
* A less balanced facial contour

Temple filler helps restore the foundation of the upper face and with the right product, technique, and dosing, the results are subtle, supportive, and natural.

Temple filler requires advanced anatomical knowledge and experience. At Dr. Jenny Skincare, this treatment is performed by myself with Dr. Jenny’s oversight, using ultrasound guidance when needed and evidence-based protocols for safety.

As I moved past my mid 40s, I noticed changes in my skin that had nothing to do with my skincare routine, dryness, dullness, and a loss of that natural glow I used to take for granted.

Like so many women, a lot of it came down to hormonal shifts. Perimenopause and menopause naturally change our skin’s ability to stay hydrated, hold structure, and reflect light.

When I tried SkinVive™ for the first time, it wasn’t about looking “different.” It was about supporting my skin from within adding back some of the hydration that naturally decreases with age. I loved how subtle it was. My skin didn’t look treated; it just looked healthier.

This is why I believe in these types of treatments: they’re not about chasing youth, it’s a privilege to age, it’s about feeling like myself in every chapter.

Placement matters. Dose matters.

Every face has a unique muscular blueprint.The frontalis lifts the brows, while the corrugator and procerus pull them downward. The orbicularis oculi contributes to facial expressions involving the eye; the depressor muscles along the jawline influence facial tension. These muscles don’t work in isolation they function as a system. When one is relaxed, others compensate.

That’s why dosing must be individualized. Over-treating a strong depressor can create heaviness; under-treating a dominant frontalis can leave asymmetry. It’s about identifying where the imbalance exists and adjusting accordingly. This is why your friend’s dosing doesn’t work for you and why, over time, you may require a different number of units.

When neuromodulators are placed with anatomical placement and clinical intention, they don’t change how you look they restore harmony to how your face moves and leave you looking refreshed but not changed.

Placement matters. Dose matters.
