If every breakout got the same treatment plan, our jobs would be a whole lot easier. 😂

But a blackhead, a deep hormonal breakout, and a cluster of red bumps that looks like acne can all have very different things going on beneath the surface.

And this is where we often see people get stuck.

You notice breakouts → buy something labelled “acne” → add another active → dry out your skin → still break out → add another product. 👀

More isn’t always the answer.

The first step is understanding what we’re actually looking at, what may be contributing to it, and how your skin is behaving as a whole. From there, we can make much smarter decisions about your homecare, professional treatments, or whether it’s time to involve another healthcare provider.

If you’ve been fighting the same breakouts for months (or years 😭), come see us. Let’s figure out what your skin actually needs.

As Canadians, we need to talk about this one. 😂🍂

Yes, the days are getting shorter. Yes, we’re about to spend several months questioning why we live somewhere that hurts our face when we walk outside.

But UV exposure doesn’t disappear just because it’s cold.

UVA rays are present throughout the year and contribute to things like premature skin aging and pigmentation.

And then there’s snow (I know, it feels WAY too early to be thinking about snow). ❄️

According to Health Canada, fresh white snow can reflect more than 80% of the sun’s UV rays. So that bright, beautiful February day when everything is covered in snow? Your skin is still getting UV exposure, including reflected UV.

Which is why we recommend daily SPF year-round.

Especially if fall and winter are when you’re investing in laser, treating pigmentation, or working on your overall skin quality. We want to protect the progress we’re making in clinic.

Your moisturizer might get a little richer.

Your summer wardrobe might disappear for the next eight months. 😂

Your SPF stays.

And if yours needs a restock, we have a Colorescience offer happening right now:

Purchase any 3 Colorescience products and receive a complimentary Colorescience makeup brush + Hale Derma hypochlorous acid spray, an $83 value. 🤍

Come see us and we’ll help you find an SPF that actually works for your skin and your everyday routine.

Weddings are stressful enough. Your skin doesn’t need to be another last-minute panic. 😂💍

If you’re getting married next summer, starting the conversation about your skin this fall gives us something very valuable: time.

Time to understand your skin.
Time to figure out what you actually want to improve.
Time for treatments that work gradually.
And time to adjust the plan along the way.

That does not mean you need a year of treatments or everything we mentioned in this post.

You might benefit from laser or microneedling. You might need a few tweaks to your skincare routine. You might need much less than you think.

The timeline in this carousel is simply a starting point.

Your actual plan should be built around your skin, your goals, your budget, and your wedding date. And the best way to figure that out is to sit down with us for a consultation.

Getting married summer 2027? Come see us this fall and we’ll take one thing off your wedding planning list. 🤍

One of the first questions we get about XERF™ is: does it hurt?

And it’s a fair question. When we talk about delivering radiofrequency energy into deeper layers of tissue, it can sound a little “”ouch””.

This is where Xerf is DIFFERENT from most collagen stimulating treatments. With no needles, and no numbing required, most people tolerate XERF very well. The treatment feels more like a warm, deep-heating sensation, and we’re able to adjust the settings throughout your treatment with your comfort in mind.

What we really like about XERF is what’s happening beneath the surface. That controlled heat stimulates your natural collagen response, so improvements in firmness and laxity develop gradually over the weeks and months that follow.

If XERF sounds like something you’ve been curious about, we’re currently welcoming a small number of XERF First Adopters as we introduce the technology at Soundside.

First Adopters will receive special introductory pricing, and we’re keeping the group quite limited.

Send us an email if you’d like more information about XERF, the First Adopter opportunity, or whether the treatment might make sense for you.

If your sunscreen routine currently ends at “I have SPF 15 in my foundation”… we have a few ideas. 👀☀️

Sunscreen and makeup can absolutely work together, you just need to know how to layer them.

We put together our Soundside guide to sunscreen makeup using some of our favourite Colorescience products, from your tinted SPF base to colour correction, powder SPF, cheek colour and lip protection.

And because we know choosing six products can feel like a lot, you don’t have to build the whole routine at once.

For a limited time:

Purchase any 3 Colorescience products and receive a complimentary Colorescience makeup brush + Hale Derma hypochlorous acid spray, an $83 value.

Building the full six-product routine? You can use the promotion twice. 🤍

Come see us in clinic and we can help you find the right shades, finishes and products for your skin.

Your makeup can look beautiful and your sun protection can be part of the routine. ☀️
