Smokers’ Lines
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we age changes to our skin may cause us to be self-conscious. Some people experience aesthetic changes they feel don’t align with the person they have been all their lives. Smokers’ Lines are a good example of this. Many patients who have never smoked a day in their lives come to the clinic distressed by the row of fine, vertical lines framing their lips. These subtle lines can cause a lot of stress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Morpheus8’s nonsurgical microneedling and radiofrequency technology treats Smokers’ Lines in approximately 3 one-hour appointments spaced about four weeks apart. This hassle-free, non-invasive procedure easily fits into any schedule and results are long-lasting with some maintenance.

Menopause and Plus90
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During menopause, women experience a loss of estrogen that can cause va**nal tissue to become thinner and dryer. As a result, s*x can be very uncomfortable. Plus90’s radiofrequency heat encourages blood flow to the va**na and stimulates tissue growth, improving dryness and relieving discomfort.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Too many women suffer without knowing what solutions are available.

MORPHEUS8 most common facial treatment areas

The face and neck are, by far, the most common areas we treat with Morpheus8 at Kraftwürk. Because these areas are what we present to the world, we encourage patients to consider this when scheduling treatments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Following most procedures, you can expect some redness, slight swelling, and possible bruising for a few days. Typically, treatments performed on the neck may take longer to heal. Aquaphor or Vaseline can often be used to help with discomfort.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Always consult with your practitioner about how best to manage discomfort and other side effects in the days following any procedure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are always available to help you through recovery.

After a baby is born, young moms often begin experiencing something they hadn’t experienced before. Sneezing, jogging, some innocent fun jumping on a trampoline – they can cause us to p*e our pants. Not a lot, necessarily. Maybe just a dribble. But enough to ruin the moment. Enough to cause some embarrassment or require a quick wardrobe change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t talk about this a lot. Incontinence isn’t exactly acceptable everyday conversation. But not talking about it doesn’t fix it and it certainly doesn’t spread the word of treatments that can remedy the situation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus90 treats postpartum incontinence. The radiofrequency heat stimulates collagen elastin and tissue growth which provides structure and tension improving the overall health of the tissue and minimizing symptoms.

Warm sun feels incredible on the skin. After a long winter that seemed to stretch into spring, it’s nice to finally enjoy summer sunshine. But skin is delicate, and too much sun exposure can cause visible and invisible damage. ​​​​​​​​
Remember to use sunscreen. Even this early in the season. ​​​​​​​​
I recommend SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50. ​​​​​​​​

Human papillomavirus a virus responsible for that majority of cervical cancers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankfully, a vaccine exists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The HPV vaccine is safe, and in Ontario, school-based vaccination programs offer the HPV vaccine to all students in grade 7.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The program is currently paused due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Many students will miss out on this very important vaccine, and who knows for how long. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Important gains have been made in preventing cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can’t stop now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you or a young person you know has not received the HPV vaccine, I urge you or them to see a doctor to discuss HPV and the vaccine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s not loose the ground we’ve gained. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pregnancy causes a woman to question the products she’s been using her entire life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, pause your use of products containing active ingredients such as retinol and salicylic acid, these include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Blemish + Age Defense serum⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- LHA Cleanser⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Advance Skin Discolouration Correction ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Retinol 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Tripeptide-R Neck Repair⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the meantime, Skinceuticals offers other incredible products that are safe to use throughout pregnancy or breastfeeding. Emily and I recommend: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GLYCOLIC BRIGHTENING RENEW OVERNIGHT is an exfoliating treatment that improves the overall texture, clarity, and brightness of skin. Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight works wonders in treating melasma, or ‘mask of pregnancy,’ of which pregnant women are prone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PHLORETIN CF also helps prevent melasma and sun damage in pregnancy. It contains vitamin C and phloretin, which interrupt melanin production thereby preventing and treating sun spots and other pigment changes experienced during pregnancy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GENTLE CEANSER is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. It cleanses, removes impurities, and washes away make-up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SOOTHING CLEANSER is also good for dry and sensitive skin. This foam cleanser contains cucumber. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And of course, use sunscreen such as SHEER PHYISICAL UV DEFENSE SPF 50. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
