Upper face neuromodulator (Botox, dysport, Xeomin, nuceiva)✨

These before and afters are 3 weeks post dysport treatment done between the brows and in the forehead.

The first before & after show the client bringing her brows together, then doing the same movement three weeks after treatment. We can see that the client cannot frown as strongly and there is a softened result.

The second comparison is actually while the client is at rest. We can see that the lines across the forehead have become much more smooth! This is one of my favourite things about neuromodulator: when we reduce that repetitive folding of the skin, we give those early etched-in lines a chance to soften too. Less repeated contraction = less ongoing mechanical stress on the skin = less opportunity for those lines to become deeper and more fixed over time.

A complimentary consultation is always recommended as everyone is different. Deeper static lines may need multiple treatments, time, and sometimes other modalities to improve them. Howeever, fine lines that are just starting to settle in can sometimes soften significantly after even one treatment, just like you can see here.

Feel free to reach out with questions or booking inquiries 🤍 @dermaspa.uptown

The people who are happiest to see others win usually understand something pretty simple:

You can celebrate people, recommend them, encourage them and genuinely want good things for them while still wanting big things for yourself.

Support has a ripple effect. The more we lift each other up, the more that energy seems to spread.

—

I’m a team-minded person..maybe it’s cheesy, and I know it’s not always easy, but I love being around people who are open to sharing what they know, learning new ways of doing things, asking questions and sometimes figuring things out together.

I also genuinely love when a client comes in excited to tell me about something good happening in their life, or when a coworker or even a stranger has a win they’re proud of. I think being able to be excited for people — even when their win has nothing to do with you & is such a good kind of energy to carry.

I try to bring that into a lot of areas of my life, but especially into an industry that’s always evolving. There’s so much value in staying curious, being open to another way of doing something, and being willing to learn from each other.

Live, laugh, love.. jk but seriously spread some good vibes! Because the energy you give to others has a way of coming back to you

A little moment of appreciation for getting to do something I really love. 🫶🏻

Being a nurse injector has given me the perfect mix of nursing, creativity, connection, and constant learning!

There’s something really special about being trusted with someone’s face and getting to help them feel a little more confident while keeping their features natural and true to them.

No two faces, treatments, or days are ever the same & I’m so grateful that this is the work I get to call mine.

Before & after facial balancing ✨♥️

Things to know about my lovely clients treatment! 👇

-can you believe that we mainly treated the upper face?! By replacing volume loss in the upper face, we were able to soften and support the lower face!
-we chose to do the four syringe dermal filler facial balancing package to achieve this outcome
-we had done some lip filler previously which was fully healed in the before photo
-the after photo is taken immediately post injection and while she looks amazing 😍 swelling and bruising goes down a few days post injection and the product integrates with the tissues over the next 4-6 weeks. At that time our clients generally come back for a follow up and more photos
-Lips can especially look more swollen and the swelling in the lips can take up 10-30% of the final volume…it can be intimidating at first but often clients miss the swelling

*if you have more questions about treatment we did, please feel free to reach out! As always, it is best to come in and see me for a no pressure complimentary consultation. Everyone is different and requires a unique treatment plan!

Message me directly or the lovely team @dermaspa.uptown

Turns out caring about faces, skin, science, the space we work in AND the people we get to do it with is kinda chic. 🤍 by @skin_bysimone

Something you might not know about tox: we’re not actually treating the wrinkle. We’re treating the muscle movement that’s creating it. ✨

And those muscles don’t all work alone. Some pull brows down, some lift them up, some are stronger than others, and changing the movement of one can change what another muscle does.

Which is why placement + dose matter so much.

Too little isn’t necessarily more “natural” either. Dose plays a role in how well a treatment works and how long the effect lasts.

The goal is figuring out which muscles we want to change, which ones we need to respect, and what dose makes sense for your anatomy.

There’s a lot more happening behind those little dots than you’d think.

We’re lucky to have an incredibly talented team of injectors who really understand the anatomy behind the treatment. If you’re curious about tox or wondering what might make sense for you, reach out. We’re always happy to chat. 🌻 by @skin_bysimone

5 things I think are worth knowing about the aesthetics industry as a nurse injector 👩‍⚕️💉

1) let’s start with one of my fav fun facts: cosmetic Botox was pioneered in Vancouver by Dr. Jean Carruthers and her husband. A woman in Canada helping change the aesthetics industry… how badass is that?!

2) If you have an issue with a treatment outcome, talk to the provider you originally saw. It is important to find a provider who you align with and vibe with! However, I’ll have clients come in with concerns about a recent treatment at a different clinic. I always encourage clients to at least have that conversation first because things aren’t always simple, and they likely really want you to be happy. If you still want to see someone else after, of course you can.

3) if you’ve seen me in clinic we have prob already chatted about how the left side of the face is often “spicier” than the right 🌶️ (you guys also know I don’t like saying painful lol). There are actually studies showing people report more pain with injections on the left side. We don’t totally know why, but it may have something to do with how the brain processes pain.

4) Bruising, swelling and tenderness are always part of the equation to varying degrees — more so with fillers or biostimulators. I’m honestly more surprised when people don’t bruise. There is blood flowing through sooo many vessels in the face, and it’s impossible to predict exactly if you’ll bruise or how much. Same goes for swelling. Sometimes it’s minor, other times it looks like you were in a brawl lol. I always tell my clients to be prepared by booking treatments well in advance of special events, and to remember that bruising and swelling ultimately heal 😮‍💨

5) Nobody is perfect. Period. Nobody is poreless, nobody is perfectly symmetrical and nobody is going to stop aging (yet). Be kind to yourselves and realistic with expectations. You can have a really happy relationship with aesthetics and still accept that not every little thing needs to be changed. We’re all unique for a reason, and I don’t think the goal should ever be to completely erase the little things that make us look like us. ♥️ taken in Derma Spa Uptown by @skin_bysimone

Under-eye filler isn’t for everyone… but that doesn’t mean you don’t have options. ✨

This patient was an appropriate candidate for a combination of under-eye filler and medial cheek filler. By restoring volume in both areas, we were able to soften the hollow under the eyes and create a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is, “I need under-eye filler.” The reality is that most people actually aren’t ideal candidates.

For many people, supporting the medial cheek alone can make a noticeable improvement by blending the lid-cheek junction and reducing the appearance of the hollow without placing filler directly under the eye.

& filler isn’t the only option. Depending on what’s causing your concerns, treatments like PRP, skin rejuvenation, or a combination approach may be a better fit.

There isn’t one treatment that’s right for everyone—that’s why a proper assessment is so important.

If you’ve been thinking about treating your under-eyes, I’d love to help you figure out the best approach for your anatomy and goals.

Send me a message or contact the clinic @dermaspa.uptown to book a consultation. 🤍

Facial harmonization before & after ✨

The goal with this stunning client was to enhance and refresh without making drastic changes.

Through our facial harmonization package we were able to soften, refresh, restore and highlight the features that already make her beautiful. We also discussed skincare which should always be included in the treatment plan! She picked up a few products perfect for her skin type, age and goals.

There’s still some swelling (lips always swell!) and redness here, but once everything settles, the final result will look very similar — just a little softer and more refined.

Can you tell what we did? Message me if you’d like to know or if you’d like to book in for a complimentary consultation. ♥️

As many of you know, I eloped! 💍✨

Here’s a little look at some of the treatments I chose to help me feel my best leading up to such a special day. From skin quality and hydration to balance and soft refinement, every treatment was selected with natural, timeless results in mind.

I’ll be posting a video soon sharing some of the other wellness and lifestyle habits that helped me feel wedding ready as well. I can also make a more detailed breakdown explaining why I chose each treatment, how they work, and how far in advance I had everything done before the wedding day.

Whether your goal is glowy skin, subtle facial balancing, or simply feeling a little more confident, we’re always here to help create a personalized wedding prep plan tailored specifically to you and your goals 💖

Thank you everyone who sent me lovely messages congratulating me and to @the.jade.editt and @nursejovanna for helping me prep ✨
