At The Face Lab, innovation isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about leading the way. Intentional Innovation is one of our core pillars, and it drives how we refine techniques, integrate new technologies, and elevate patient outcomes. Over the past couple months, our staff has spent hours engaging in clinical and professional development training. From injectables and energy-based devices to cutting-edge skincare breakthroughs and adding the Glacial Skin device to improve outcomes, we have been busy expanding our expertise through hands-on training, online certifications, and clinical workshops. Injectable Advancements: Mastering Rejuvenation from Face to Hands Our team recently participated in intensive injectable filler, hydrators, and regenerative biostimulator refresher training to refine our precision techniques: HyperDilute Radiesse – A collagen-boosting injectable that improves skin texture, tightness, and elasticity in the neck, décolleté, arms, upper knees, and hands SkinVive Hydrator – The next evolution in skin hydration with Skinvive’s hyaluronic acid microdroplets, now being used for not only facial hydration and smoothness, but also necklace line correction by smoothing out horizontal lines across the neck. Sculptra – Galderma launched their four new advanced injection techniques for Sculptra (PLLA) to maximize collagen stimulation, restore volume, and enhance long-term results. ✔ More precise placement to sculpt and restore natural facial contours. ✔ Customized dosing strategies for different skin types, outcomes, levels of volume loss. ✔ Improved collagen regeneration for long-lasting skin firming and elasticity. RHA Teoxane Dermal Fillers – The next generation of flexible fillers designed for dynamic movement and soft, natural enhancements. We learned the RHA Dermal Fillers new triple layer advanced techniques for precise, longer-lasting, most importantly natural-looking results—customized for each patient. Energy-Based Devices Updates: Lift & Glow Non-invasive skin tightening and collagen stimulation have entered a new era, and we’re leading the way with Sofwave’s latest protocol updates . As the first in Canada to have the Sofwave Ultrasound Lifting & Tightening Device, it is essential for us to continue to revisit and revise our protocols to offer the best results to our patients. We launched the Glacial Skin cryotherapy device as a cool, new offering that works on skin health and inflammation first & compliments all of our treatments at the clinic! CryoGlow – A cooling facial that uses targeted masks, serums, LED therapy, dermaplaning and cryotherapy to exfoliate, brighten, and reduce inflammation while boosting circulation for radiant, refreshed skin. CryoGlide – Designed as a standalone for overstressed skin to reduce redness, inflammation, and swelling or to stack seamlessly with treatments like Sofwave, Tixel, Aerolase, and microneedling, this advanced cryotherapy session enhances recovery and minimizes downtime while amplifying results. We are now offering patients an option to add-on a complimentary CryoGlide after their Sofwave treatments to help relax and cool the skin! Breakthrough in Lash Science: The New Colorescience Mascara That Grows Lashes Skincare doesn’t stop at the skin—it extends to lashes and brows , too. Our team has been fans of the Colorescience products since we brought them in the clinic over 2 years ago. We learned about their newest products including our favourite - the Total Lash™ Serum Mascara, clinically-proven to stimulate lash growth while providing fuller, longer-looking lashes instantly. This dual-action formula includes: ✔ Peptides and conditioning agents that enhance lash growth over time. ✔ Ophthalmologist-tested, lash-friendly ingredients for eye health. ✔ Smudge-resistant, long-wearing technology for daily wear. This is a first-of-its-kind in lash enhancement, combining instant volume with long-term growth benefits. More Than Just Skin Deep Innovation isn’t just about techniques—it’s about understanding ourselves and each patient’s unique needs. That’s why our team participated in Staff Color Analysis training using the red, blue, yellow, and green personality framework. We all learned how to: ✔ Understand our own strengths and weaknesses in our personalities and communication style ✔ Enhance the overall experience for our patients ✔ Build trust and connection to deliver results aligned with each patient’s goals.
