From morning glow to evening mastery. ✨

Sculptra® brought the AART of Sculptra® to the Art Gallery of Ontario for a full day of education, science, and art.

We kicked off the morning with media and creators for 1-on-1 skin assessments and a Q&A presentation with top Canadian experts Dr. Metelitsa, Dr. Pon, and Dr. Cam—all set against art-inspired Sculptra® installations that highlighted its treatment profiles for Youthful Glow, Slimming Lift, Filling Lift and Natural Volume.

By evening, the gallery transformed into an intimate space for leading treatment providers and injectors.

Through a collaborative session, industry peers connected to discuss techniques, share clinical insights, and continue advancing the future of regenerative aesthetics in Canada.

Art meets skin science at the AGO. 🎨✨

Galderma hosted Canadian top media and influencers at the Art Gallery of Ontario to explore the AART of Sculptra®—its defining treatment profiles for Youthful Glow, Slimming Lift, Filling Lift and Natural Volume—and how the treatment works from within to build a long-term foundation for skin health.

Through a presentation and Q&A, guests heard directly from industry-leading healthcare providers like Dr. Metelitsa (@calgaryskindoc), Dr. Pon (@drkucypon), and Dr. Cam (@drtheresacam), as well as a first-hand patient POV from Karen Cohen (@therealkco), while also getting the opportunity to ask their burning questions directly to the source.

But that was just the beginning—like any piece of art, Sculptra®’s best results are in the eye of the beholder and treatments are crafted for each person’s face and individual goals. To cap off the morning, guests were able to meet one-on-one with experts for personalized skin assessments before heading out of the gallery with knowledge, a few gifts and inspiration to skinvest in themselves.

Always consult a healthcare practitioner for individualized treatment recommendations and to discuss important safety information and potential risks associated with the use of this product.

Training with implants doesn’t mean you have to stop lifting, but it does mean you need to train smarter

@therealkco and I cover the reality of balancing heavy training with breast augmentation, and why you have to be so careful with your approach

We hit on some important points that every woman in the gym training with implants needs to know:

• Skip the bench press because there is no real need for it and it can put unnecessary strain on the area

• Watch the bench dips since these open up the chest too much and can lead to unwanted separation

• Modify your chest flys by sticking to half reps to keep the tension without fully closing the movement

• Stick to machines because free weights can pull on the muscle, while machines offer the support you need when you are training hard

It’s not a question of if your body will change, but when, so make these small adjustments to protect your results and train with confidence

Send this to someone who needs to hear this!

Want bigger arms? Start focusing on your triceps. They actually make up two-thirds of your arm, while your biceps are only two heads.

@therealkco answer some questions for all the girls following along, and we broke down how to hit all three tricep heads at once:

• The move: Close-grip bench press.

• Why it works: Keep your grip narrow and press toward the center instead of a standard chest press. It fully engages the long, short, and lateral heads.

• If you don’t have equipment? Close-hand bench dips are a killer alternative.

It’s time to level up your training, you just need the right coach to make it happen 💪

Want to create that illusion of a fuller, wider glute shape? @therealkco and I cover the best ways behind glute building here at @bdf_gym and how to target those specific areas for a better aesthetic.

Here is the breakdown on how to shift your training to get that look:

• Side kicks are a bit of a twist that allows you to target the side of the gluteus maximus.

• Targeting the upper part of the glute helps create a wider, hourglass shape.

• Keep in mind that your individual genetics play a large role in how easily you can build a fuller glute versus a “popped-out” shape.

• To better target the bottom of the glute, incorporate exercises that involve stretching the muscle, such as stiff-leg movements or stiff-leg kickbacks.

Your goals are closer than you think, you just need the right coaching 😉😉 to get there.

Leg day with @therealkco at @bdf_gym! 🔥

We all look for any excuse to skip leg day, but we showed up and got it done anyway.

Taking you through exact foot placements, angles, and micro-adjustments on the belt squat, standing leg curls, leg extensions, and hack squat.

Small tweaks make a massive difference in targeting the right muscles. Leg day isn’t easy but it’s worth it. Sometimes you don’t feel like it, but showing up and having the right coach that pushes you helps.

A little behind-the-scenes look at an upper body session with @therealkco

The last few months have been all about finding the right structure to keep moving forward. It’s been incredible watching Karen crush her goals, going from almost 22% body fat down to under 16% in just 90 days. Of course you always need to be consistent and hard-working, Karen is a perfect example of that.

We pulled back the curtain to share some of the tips and tricks I’ve been teaching Karen to help her stay consistent. Whether it’s mastering the mind-muscle connection on rows or perfecting form on the shoulder press, small adjustments make the biggest difference.

If you’re looking for a sign to level up your own training, take this as your cue.

I started in-clinic treatments around 15 years ago, and this list doesn’t even include everything I’ve done. It’s a snapshot of a journey that has spanned more than a decade.

Some treatments I absolutely swear by.
Some I wouldn’t do again.
Some gave me great results.
Some were expensive lessons.
And some were just… meh.

What has changed most isn’t the treatments themselves, it’s my mindset.

Years ago, I was guilty of chasing trends, fixing individual features, and believing the next treatment would be the answer. Now, my focus is much more regenerative and natural looking. Supporting my skin, maintaining structure, and choosing treatments that suit my skin type, goals and stage of life.

For me, that means making decisions based on education rather than hype.

Do what makes you happy. Whether that’s Botox, filler, lasers, skincare, or absolutely nothing at all.

Just make sure you’re making informed decisions, not following trends blindly.

At the end of the day, the goal isn’t to look like someone else.

It’s to look like the best version of you. 🤍
