Sometimes the goal isn’t more volume, it’s better balance ⚖️

A gummy smile happens when the upper lip lifts high enough to show more gum tissue when you smile.

This can be related to lip anatomy, muscle movement, tooth or gum proportions, or even jaw structure.

‼️And it’s important to say that it isn’t a flaw, it’s a preference.

For this patient, we used a small amount of neurotoxin to gently relax the muscles that pull the upper lip upward. This allows the lip to soften, “flip” slightly outward, and sit in a more balanced position when smiling.

No filler. No added volume. Just a natural-looking adjustment that helps create a softer, more proportionate smile while keeping his features looking like his own.

Curious if a lip flip is right for you? Book a consultation or send a dm with any questions.

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Pride Month feels like an important time to say this clearly: everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in their care.

In medical aesthetics, we often talk about helping people feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin. For many people, that care can feel affirming.

But we also want to be clear that gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary people is not simply cosmetic.

It is deeply personal healthcare, and it deserves to be protected, respected, and approached with compassion.

We don’t have to fully understand someone else’s lived experience to respect their right to safe, affirming care.

At The Skin Clinic Antigonish, our goal is to create a space where people feel informed, supported, and welcome exactly as they are.

🚪Four years ago, we opened our doors as Nurse Yvonne Aesthetics….

Since then, we’ve grown from one, to two, to three, to four…and now a team of five, working together to bring thoughtful, personalized care to skin health and medical aesthetics in Antigonish.

It’s pretty incredible to look back on how much has changed in four years, but we know that growth didn’t happen on its own. It happened because of you. Our clients are truly what have shaped this clinic 😊

You come to us with different goals, different concerns, different stories, and different seasons of life, and being trusted with your care is something we never take lightly.

Usually, we celebrate with an event, but this year we’re taking a little break from that ✨

Between our new location, our expanded team, new treatments, and a very full schedule, we’re keeping things a little more simple this time around…

…but simple doesn’t mean boring 😉

This month, we’ll be celebrating our 4th birthday by reintroducing ourselves, sharing more about who we are now as The Skin Clinic Antigonish, and taking a little time to reflect on how far we’ve come….Because it’s our birthday month, and apparently we can do what we want 🤷‍♀️

P.S. We also have a very lovely giveaway coming soon, so keep an eye out.

Fear gets clicks, but facts protect your skin 🛡️

‼️ SPF does not cause cancer ‼️ UV radiation is a proven carcinogen, and proper sun protection is one of the most important things we can do to protect our skin from sun damage, premature aging, and skin cancer risk.

A lot of sunscreen misinformation comes from misunderstood studies, manufacturing recalls being taken out of context, and social media content designed to get clicks, shares, and views.

☀️So here’s your reminder: choose an SPF you actually like wearing, make sure it’s broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or higher, apply enough, and reapply when needed.

And when it comes to your skin health, please get your information from qualified professionals, not the loudest person on your feed 🫶

Sensitive, breakout-prone skin deserves SPF that feels calm, comfortable, and easy to wear 🥰

If you’ve ever avoided sunscreen because it felt too heavy, made you break out, left a white cast, or irritated your skin, EltaMD may be a great option for you.

Their lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas are designed with sensitive, acne-prone, and redness-prone skin in mind, helping to protect your skin without clogging pores or feeling greasy.

We especially love that EltaMD contains niacinamide, which helps calm the skin, support a more even-looking tone, and visibly improve the look of discoloration. It’s also available in tinted and non-tinted options, making it easier to find something that works for your skin, your routine, and your preferences.

Because the best SPF? It’s the one you’ll actually want to wear every day.

This month for Sun Awareness Month, all SPF products are 15% off at The Skin Clinic Antigonish 🧴

Pop by the clinic and we’ll help you find the right one for your skin.

Dull skin, uneven tone, pigmentation, texture changes… we have a new treatment for that.

We’re introducing LaseMD Ultra at The Skin Clinic Antigonish, and it’s a thoughtful addition to how we support long-term skin health. 🤍

LaseMD Ultra is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to gently support skin renewal without the downtime of more aggressive resurfacing lasers.

It can help improve the look of uneven tone, sun damage, pigmentation, dullness, rough texture, early fine lines, and overall skin clarity.

In simple terms: it helps your skin begin a fresh repair process from within, while keeping recovery more manageable.

Most treatment plans include a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with results developing gradually as your skin renews and collagen production is supported.

As always, the consultation matters. We’ll assess your skin, talk through your goals, and help decide whether LaseMD Ultra is the right fit for your treatment plan.

Book your consultation at The Skin Clinic Antigonish to learn more. ✨
