You can invest in all the treatments you want… but if your skincare isn’t supporting your skin, your results will only go so far.

We said what we said 😅

Treatments like Botox, Dermal fillers, microneedling, lasers all work. But they’re not meant to carry your entire routine.

Your at-home skincare is what maintains and protects those results in between appointments.

If your routine is inconsistent, overly harsh, or missing the basics, you might notice:
✨ Results not lasting as long as expected
✨ Skin looking dull or dehydrated
✨ Increased sensitivity or irritation
✨ Overall less “polished” results, even after treatment

Your skin responds to what you do every single day, not just what happens in clinic a few times a year.

A strong routine doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does need to be intentional:

• A gentle, effective cleanser
• Prescriptive actives suited to your skin
• Hydration and barrier support
• And daily SPF (non-negotiable)

Treatments enhance your skin. Skincare sustains it. 🤝🏼

Everything “spring refresh” hallelujah ✨🌿

Spring is officially here on the Island, so that means we’re moving away from heavier, downtime-focused treatments and leaning into what your skin actually needs right now:

✨ collagen support
✨ hydration
✨ brightening
✨ and a fresh, healthy reset

This season is all about repair and bringing back some of the life we lost during the winter months. Prepping our skin is important, especially when we’re about to spend the next foreseeable future outside in the sun.

Some treatments we love to focus on in the spring and summer 👇🏼

• Chemical peels for a smoother complexion
• Skin boosters (like Skinvive) for deep hydration + glow
• Microneedling for collagen stimulation + overall skin quality
• Biostimulators like Sculptra for natural volume and skin laxity

Our clinic doesn’t focus on “more”. We focus on what’s “right” for your skin.

This summer, let’s build a treatment plan that is sustainable, gives you the results you’re looking for, and makes you feel like the best version of YOU.

Just our opinion. 😏

If you’re thinking Botox or filler for summer, timing matters—because the best results are the ones that have time to fully develop and settle.

Botox (neuromodulators) isn’t instant. Most people start noticing changes in a few days, with full results typically showing around 10–14 days. Results generally last about 3–4 months. Booking ahead means you’re enjoying the final, balanced result when it matters—not waiting for it to “kick in.”

Dermal filler also needs time. You’ll see an immediate change, but the first days can include swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising. Early on, things can look a little uneven simply because tissues are healing. Over the next 1–2 weeks, filler settles and integrates, swelling resolves, and the result looks smoother and more natural.

That’s why last-minute treatments can feel stressful—you’re judging results before your body has finished doing its part.

Subtle, settled, natural-looking results almost always come down to good planning.

Botox and filler can absolutely elevate your results, but they’re not a complete plan. 💉

Botox (neuromodulators) relaxes specific muscles to soften dynamic lines (the lines created by movement). Dermal filler restores or supports volume and structure.

Both can make a big impact, but neither is designed to meaningfully improve the underlying quality of your skin. The things like tone, texture, sun damage, congestion, and redness can still happen, and treatments don’t replace the daily habits that protect your results.

Skin quality is built through a long-term approach:
- Daily SPF (because UV exposure is the biggest driver of premature skin aging)
- Prescriptive skincare to support the skin barrier and improve hydration + function
- Treatments that target the skin itself, like collagen stimulation and resurfacing
- Lifestyle factors that show up on your skin every day: sleep, stress, nutrition, hydration, alcohol, and smoking all influence inflammation, healing, and how your skin ages over time

When skin health improves, your injectable results tend to look more refined and balanced. We’re able to address your overall face, not just one area.

The goal isn’t to look good for one event. It’s to build healthier, stronger skin for the long haul.

Book a consultation and we’ll create a plan that makes sense for your face, your skin, and your timeline. ✨

Overwhelmed by all the skincare options out there? You’re not alone. 👇🏻

If you want one product that covers a lot of ground, Crème 47 by is a clinic favourite for a reason: it’s a well-rounded, barrier-supporting moisturizer that layers beautifully and fits into most routines without the guesswork.

Lauren’s skin is a great example of what consistent, long-term use can do.

At your next appointment, ask us about skincare and we’ll look at your skin, your goals, and what you’re already using, then recommend the right products (and the right order) for you. 🪷

The Secret to Smooth Skin? Retinol.

Someone recently asked our skincare expert Brianna about her smooth skin. Her answer? The Vivier retinol complex.

Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that works by:
✨ Increasing cell turnover
✨ Improving fine lines and wrinkles
✨ Smoothing texture
✨ Fading pigmentation
✨ Supporting collagen production
✨ Reducing breakouts

In simple terms: it accelerates your skin’s natural renewal process.

What makes Vivier Retinol Complex effective is the formulation.

It’s potent but intentional, and it’s available in three strengths (0.3%, 0.5%, 1%) so we can match the right dose to your skin instead of starting too strong.

Retinol does require consistency. Results typically appear within 4-8 weeks of regular use, and your skin may experience mild adjustment initially. Some slight dryness or sensitivity is normal as your skin adapts.

Ready to start? We’ll guide you through the process and find the right strength for your skin. 🫶🏼
