What can light actually do for a softer jawline?

Infrared light is absorbed in the skin and converted into heat. That controlled heating can cause existing collagen fibres to contract and start a longer-term collagen remodelling response.

An early tightening effect and the improvement that develops over time are two different parts of the process.

At SO, I use this treatment through the lower face, jawline and neck. The goal is firmer-looking skin, with a plan suited to the changes you’re noticing.

How does warming your skin help it become firmer?

Radio frequency sends electrical energy into the tissue, where it becomes heat. That controlled warmth stimulates collagen remodelling—the renewal of some of the support that helps skin stay firm.

So while you see me moving a handpiece across the skin, there’s more happening than a warm massage.

The aim is a gradual improvement in firmness as your skin responds. That’s why I look at your skin, your goals and what we can realistically achieve before recommending it.

Bring the skincare questions you thought you weren’t supposed to ask.

Skin, Unfiltered.
Bad habits. Bold questions. No lectures. Honest options.

Sunday, November 22, at SO Medical Aesthetics.

I’m planning something a little more indulgent—and a lot more candid—than the usual skincare talk.

A chance to ask the questions you’ve hesitated to ask. Talk about the advice that’s never made sense to you. And explore realistic options without pretending we all live on perfect sleep and impeccable skincare habits.

You don’t need a perfect routine to be part of the conversation.

Choose your seating: 1 pm, 3:30 pm or 6 pm. Each seating is planned for 6–8 guests.

Tickets are $35 plus taxes and fees, with $35 from your ticket available toward product purchases. There’ll also be event specials for attendees.

Choose your seating and reserve your place: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/skin-unfiltered-registration-2002938427755?aff=oddtdtcreator

Before you book a hydrafacial/hydrofacial, there's something I want you to know.

Similar names can make different treatments sound like the same thing. When you book a Hydrafacial® with me, you’re getting the original.

The signature Vortex-Fusion® handpiece and patented spiral tips sweep away dull surface skin, lift out debris and bathe your skin in treatment serums. A thorough clean, with hydration built right in.

There are plenty of lookalikes with similar names—“hydrofacial,” “hydra facial”—but a similar name doesn’t give another machine Hydrafacial’s technology.

At SO, I use the authentic Hydrafacial® system and tailor your treatment to what your skin needs.

If your skin is feeling dull, congested or ready for a little attention, this is a lovely place to start.

Find your Hydrafacial® and book at https://so-medical-aesthetics.ca/.

IPL can make treated brown spots look darker before they look lighter.

When light energy is absorbed by melanin, the targeted pigment heats and may become temporarily more noticeable. Over the following days, those treated spots may gradually flake or fade as the skin renews.

That does not mean you should help the process along.

Do not pick, scrub or exfoliate the darkened areas. Follow the aftercare provided, keep the skin protected from sun and allow it to shed naturally.

There is also an important distinction between expected darkening of the specifically treated spots and an unexpected reaction. Blistering, significant or worsening pain, spreading or unusual darkening, or anything else that concerns you should be reported to your treatment provider.

IPL is not appropriate for every type of pigmentation. Assessment comes first; aftercare protects the correction.

The treatment plan doesn’t end when the fractional laser turns off.

Fractional resurfacing creates controlled microscopic treatment zones. The appointment initiates the response—but renewal, inflammation, barrier repair and collagen remodelling continue after you leave the clinic.

That makes aftercare part of the treatment itself.

Early recovery is especially important. Heat needs to escape rather than becoming trapped against the skin. Avoid heat, strenuous exercise and occlusive products or coverings during the initial cooling period. If you use a covered ice pack, keep it moving instead of holding it against one area.

As healing continues:

Don’t pick, scrub or force flaking skin to shed.

Avoid irritating products and premature exfoliation.

Follow your sun-avoidance and sun-protection instructions carefully.

Use the aftercare routine provided for your specific treatment—not a generic routine found online.

Poor aftercare can prolong inflammation, delay barrier recovery and increase the risk of unwanted pigmentation, infection or scarring.

The appointment creates the response. Aftercare helps the skin complete it safely.

The treatment worked. So why is the pigment back?

Pigment treatments address melanin that has already accumulated in the skin. What they do not do is permanently switch off the melanocytes—the cells responsible for producing it.

If those melanocytes remain overactive or highly responsive, new stimulation can start the process again.

UV exposure is a major trigger. Depending on the type of pigmentation, hormones, visible light, heat, inflammation and skin injury may also contribute.

This does not mean the original treatment failed.

It means pigment correction often has three different parts:

Professional treatments clear deposited pigment.

Home care and consistent sun protection help reduce the signals that encourage continued pigment production.

Periodic maintenance treatments clear pigment that gradually becomes visible again.

Some pigment conditions are managed—not permanently cured. Understanding that from the beginning creates much more realistic expectations for treatment and maintenance.

You cannot exfoliate away every texture concern.

“Texture” is a broad description—not a diagnosis.

Sometimes the surface feels rough because it is dehydrated. Sometimes the barrier is disrupted and the skin is losing water, becoming inflamed and shedding irregularly. Sometimes excess surface cells need appropriate exfoliation.

And sometimes the concern extends deeper than the surface.

Scarring, etched lines and structural irregularities cannot simply be polished away with another scrub or acid. Those concerns may require a controlled resurfacing treatment, such as Fractional Er:YAG, to initiate renewal and collagen remodelling.

More exfoliation does not automatically create smoother skin. If the barrier is already impaired, it can make the texture look and feel worse.

The most effective plan may combine barrier repair, properly timed exfoliation and resurfacing—but not everyone needs every approach, and they should not necessarily happen at the same time.

Book a consultation to figure out which approach is actually right for your skin.

I don’t automatically IPL every brown spot I see.

IPL is a treatment tool—not a diagnosis.

When IPL is used to treat suitable brown pigmentation, filtered light is absorbed by melanin and converted into heat. But seeing a brown spot does not tell me everything I need to know.

I still need to consider what may be producing the pigment, how it behaves, the contrast between it and the surrounding skin, tanning history, medications, barrier condition and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Some pigmentation responds well to IPL. Some requires a different approach. And anything suspicious or difficult to identify should not be treated cosmetically.

The decision should be based on whether IPL is appropriate for that pigmentation—not simply whether the spot is brown.

Book a consultation to find out which approach is appropriate for your skin.

Those spots didn’t suddenly appear in September.

What often changes after summer is the contrast.

A tan is created when UV exposure signals melanocytes—the pigment-producing cells in the skin—to produce more melanin. As that more evenly distributed colour begins to fade, areas holding concentrated pigment may remain darker.

That is when people suddenly start noticing spots that may have been developing over years of repeated exposure.

But not every brown spot is the same.

Freckles, sun-induced lentigines, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can look similar while behaving very differently. Their triggers, pigment depth and risk of returning all affect how they should be treated.

That’s why identifying the pigmentation comes before choosing IPL, a peel or any other treatment.

Book a consultation and we’ll determine what is actually happening in your skin—and which approach makes sense for it.
