The holiday season is full of joy—but it can also bring its share of stress, which impacts more than just your mood. Stress affects your skin, hair, and overall well-being in profound ways. ⁠
⁠
Under pressure, your body produces stress hormones like cortisol, which can increase oil production and worsen acne, trigger flare-ups of conditions like eczema and psoriasis, and even speed up aging by breaking down collagen and elastin. These effects leave skin more vulnerable to irritation, fine lines, and enlarged pores.⁠
⁠
👉Managing stress is essential to keeping your skin healthy. Mind-body practices can make a difference: ⁠
⁠
😮‍💨Breathwork and meditation calm the mind and reduce cortisol levels, improving skin resilience. ⁠
⁠
Yoga combines movement and mindfulness to enhance emotional balance. ⁠
Balanced nutrition and regular exercise support your body from within. ⁠
⁠
Lastly, medical-grade skincare can support your skin through stressful times in your life!⁠
⁠
Reach out if you're looking for some extra support in this!⁠

⛷️Ski season is here, and while we’re all excited to carve up the slopes, don’t let the cold, snowy days take a toll on your skin. Yes, it’s possible to come back from the mountains with redness, dryness, or even irritated skin. ⁠
⁠
The combination of high altitudes and UV exposure can weaken your skin barrier, leading to redness, rough texture, stinging, and even accentuated fine lines. To avoid this, focus on nourishing and hydrating your skin before and after your time outdoors. ⁠
⁠
Start with a rich, heavier moisturizer to create a protective barrier against the elements. 🛡️❄️Apply a nonirritating lip balm to prevent chapping, and consider a thin layer of Aquaphor under your nose to guard against dryness. And don’t forget sunscreen—yes, even when you’re surrounded by snow! UV rays are stronger at high altitudes and reflect off the snow. ⁠
⁠
Once you’re off the slopes, replenish your skin with hydrating, gentle products to restore balance. ⁠

As we age, it’s normal to notice new bumps, spots, or growths on our skin. While many of these changes are harmless, it’s essential to have them checked to ensure your skin’s health. 👀👌 At COCO Laser and Skin, I offer both surgical and laser removal for moles, lesions, skin tags, birthmarks, beauty marks, and other pigmented or red spots on your body. ⁠
⁠
It’s especially important to monitor any changes in the size, shape, or colour of moles or bumps and have them assessed promptly. Regular skin checks are key to maintaining your peace of mind and overall skin health. ⁠
⁠
No referral is needed to book an appointment, and there’s often availability within a week—so you won’t be stuck waiting. Most appointments are covered by Alberta Health, making it convenient and accessible for you. ⁠
⁠
Reach out today to schedule your consultation. Your skin deserves expert care!⁠

Lately, I’ve been getting so many questions and requests about this treatment—who it’s best suited for and why it’s such a popular choice. ⁠
⁠
💉🗓️ Chin filler typically lasts around 12 months or longer, depending on individual factors. One reason it tends to last a bit longer is that it’s a firmer product applied to a non-mobile area, which naturally slows its breakdown over time. ⁠
⁠
The goal is always to create harmony and balance in the face. Many of my patients choose chin filler to complement their other features and achieve a more proportional look. ⁠
⁠
For younger patients, chin filler often enhances profile balance and defines the jawline, creating a more contoured and sculpted appearance. For more mature patients, it provides support to the tissues, helping to smooth out jowls, folds, and chin dimples for a refreshed, youthful look. ⁠
⁠
A consultation and assessment are the first steps to determine if chin filler is the right choice for you. ⁠

Let’s talk solutions tailored for men’s skin! ⁠
⁠
Did you know that men’s skin tends to be oilier and more prone to larger pores due to higher sebum production? While this natural oiliness can reduce dryness, it also challenges managing skin texture. ⁠
⁠
Microneedling is a treatment that helps improve skin texture by boosting collagen production, which naturally slows down after age 35. Collagen is what keeps your skin firm and elastic, and microneedling encourages your body to rebuild it, leaving you with smoother, rejuvenated skin. ⁠
⁠
👉For men, microneedling offers even more benefits. It can reduce the appearance of early wrinkles, scars, and wear and tear caused by daily shaving or environmental factors, resulting in refreshed, healthier skin that looks and feels more balanced. ⁠
⁠
If you’re curious about how microneedling can work for you, let’s chat!⁠

Don’t wait until it’s too late! ⁠😨⁠
⁠
There’s no magic number for when to start Botox, but starting before lines and wrinkles settle in makes a big difference. Once static lines (the ones you see even when your face is at rest) appear, it can be much harder to smooth them out and achieve the skin you’re aiming for. ⁠
⁠
For most, the sweet spot tends to be somewhere in your mid-20s to early 30s—but everyone’s skin is unique! ⁠
⁠
Not sure if it’s the right time for you? Stop by for a free assessment, and let’s chat about your goals!⁠

The snow has officially arrived! ❄️We all knew it was just a matter of time—but how is your skin holding up?🫣 ⁠
⁠
With the colder, drier air, skin conditions like dryness, eczema, and flare-ups often make an appearance, especially during weather transitions like this. Babies and young children can be particularly affected. For toddlers, the combination of being bundled up in warm winter gear, getting sweaty while playing, and then transitioning back to the dry indoor air can be tough on their skin. It’s a constant balancing act for many of my patients with little ones. ⁠
⁠
If you’re noticing skin concerns—whether it’s dryness, eczema, moles, bumps, melasma, or anything in between—remember, I’m here to help! ⁠
⁠
👉Appointments are available at the clinic, and most are covered by Alberta Health. Don’t hesitate to reach out and book your spot. ⁠
