Fillers: medications made of hyaluronic acid (which already exists in our bodies) used to volumize, achieve asymmetry, or smooth things out. Can also be used to alter features like lips, jawline, and cheek contour.

Start low and go slow. Low strength - 0.25-0.3. Slow application - spaced out just twice a week to start and monitor how your skin reacts. Ensure adequate skin barrier and moisturizer before and throughout use. There are many great over the counter brands.

Maintain or repair the skin barrier AND slow down water loss - important foundation of skin health. Moisturizer right after washing/bathing is the best time. If you have acne prone skin, an oil-free formulation is better. If you have very dry skin or eczema (atopic dermatitis) or psoriasis, you may require moisturizing more than once daily.

I will also be talking about tracking moles or lesions and when to seek medical assessment.

The OHIP covered clinics is now open again to accepting new referrals for patients of the Straford Family Health Team. We hope to expand access once we gauge the demand and see how wait times evolve.

My OHIP-Covered Menopause Consultation wait time: June 2023 - Dec 2025 = 2.5 years. I know I’m not alone. I want to remind you that You are not alone. Together We can continue to arm ourselves with knowledge, which is powerful and beautiful. And we can channel of it to help ourselves, each other, and others.

We all have to look out for each other. That means giving each other permission and nudging to take care of ourselves. Remember that you matter just as much.

FEEL FREE to ask for ALL of the information that is pertinent to the decisions you make about your body, your time, your money, your energy and your health. TRULY informed consent means that you know if there is supporting evidence for safety and benefit AND financial relationships related to the recommendations. Truly empowering you means providers will be open and honest and let you decide. 🥰

Wonderful work by the team and great group of patients advocating for this care and women’s health focused care providers. We all met several times and discussed the tool through each stage of development to make it as evidence-based, concise, and clear as possible, remembering that this is a huge are of care to cover.
