Nurse Arlena at Subtle Enhancements

When someone tells me their last injector treated their whole face with 10 units…

Me: “That sounds amazing so what are you doing here?” 😂

But in all seriousness Your treatment should be based on your individual anatomy, muscle strength, movement patterns and desired outcome.

Different areas of the face require different dosing, and every patient is different. Using less product doesn’t automatically mean a more natural result sometimes it simply means an under-treated muscle and results that don’t last as long as expected.

Why do you get Botox? You don’t even look like you need it.” 🤔

Exactly. 😂

Proof is in the pudding.
Botox isn’t just about softening existing lines—it’s also about preventing them from becoming deeper over time. Think of it like wearing sunscreen. You don’t wait until you have a sunburn to start protecting your skin.
By relaxing the muscles that repeatedly crease the skin, wrinkle relaxers can help slow the formation of static lines while still keeping you looking like you—just a little more refreshed.
The goal has never been to look frozen or “done.” My favourite results are the ones no one can quite put their finger on… they just think you look well-rested.
Natural. Subtle. Preventative. That’s the vibe. ✨

Masseter Botox can slim the jaw beautifully, or make it look less supported. The difference is candidacy, not the treatment itself.

Here’s what’s actually true: relaxing the masseter muscle can soften jaw tension and slim the lower face for some people. For others, especially those with less skin elasticity or a different bone structure, the same treatment can make the jawline look less supported.

Neither outcome means the treatment is “good” or “bad.” It means candidacy matters more than the treatment itself.

This is why we don’t start with what you want done. We start with what your face actually needs, and whether this is the right fit for your structure and your goals.

If you’ve been curious about this one, it’s worth a real conversation first.

Every summer, we hear the same thing: “I’ll just wait until fall to start my skin treatments.”

We are here to tell you otherwise.

Microneedling can be performed safely throughout the summer with the right aftercare and diligent sun protection. The season isn’t what determines your results; how well you protect your skin while it heals does.

One of the ways we elevate many of our microneedling treatments is by pairing them with VAMP, a topical skin booster containing PDRN, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. It’s designed to support the skin’s natural renewal process, enhance hydration, improve the appearance of texture, and promote healthier-looking skin while your skin is already in repair mode.

Our philosophy has always been to focus on skin quality first. Healthy, hydrated skin will always age more gracefully than skin that’s simply chasing the next trend.

Book a consultation with Arlena or Hilary, and let’s create a treatment plan that helps you build healthier skin all year long.
