Understanding Climate Impact
Why Wrinkles Happen Faster in Calgary's Climate
The Effects of Sun and Dryness on Your Skin
Calgary’s high altitude and dry climate can accelerate the aging process, leading to the early formation of wrinkles. The intense UV radiation and lack of humidity break down collagen and elastin, leaving skin more vulnerable to fine lines and loss of firmness.
Intrinsic vs extrinsic aging: collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid
It's important to understand that fat dissolving injections are not a weight-loss treatment. They're designed for people at or near their ideal weight who have stubborn, localiYour skin naturally changes over time. Starting in your mid-20s, you lose about 1% of collagen each year. Elastin breaks down, making skin less bouncy. Hyaluronic acid levels drop, reducing moisture and plumpness. These internal changes create wrinkles even with perfect skincare. Fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen, become less active with age.
External factors speed up this process. UV exposure damages fibroblasts. Pollution, stress, and poor sleep all contribute to faster aging.
zed fat deposits. Think of it as spot reduction for specific problem areas rather than overall weight management.
Dry air, chinook winds, altitude UV, and indoor heat
Calgary's weather is tough on skin. Our low humidity (often below 30%) pulls moisture from your face. Chinook winds can drop humidity even more, causing dehydration lines overnight. At our altitude, UV rays are 20% stronger than at sea level. Indoor heating in winter makes things worse, creating a year-round moisture challenge.
Sun, smoking, sleep, and glycation
Lifestyle choices matter. Sun damage causes 80% of visible aging. Smoking reduces blood flow and damages collagen. Poor sleep prevents skin repair. Sugar in your diet creates glycation, making collagen stiff and brittle. Small changes in these areas can slow aging significantly.
Addressing Different Concerns
Fine Lines vs Wrinkles: Best Treatments for Each
Tailoring Solutions to Your Specific Needs
Fine lines are often dynamic, appearing with facial expressions, while wrinkles are deeper, static lines. We customize your treatment plan by selecting the right modality—from neuromodulators for dynamic lines to fillers and lasers for static wrinkles—to achieve the most effective outcome.
Dynamic lines: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin
Dynamic lines appear when you smile, frown, or squint. Think crow's feet or forehead lines. These respond best to neuromodulator injections like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. Dysport often has quicker onset, but duration is similar when dosed appropriately.
Static lines and crepey texture: fillers, lasers, peels
Static lines show even when your face is relaxed. These deeper wrinkles need volume replacement with hyaluronic acid fillers or collagen stimulation treatments. Crepey texture responds to surface treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Understanding texture/crepiness vs laxity helps determine the right approach.
Candidate Suitability
Am I a Candidate? Skin Types I-VI and Contraindications
Safe and Effective Care for All Skin Tones
Our wrinkle treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types, from Fitzpatrick I to VI, and we have protocols in place to ensure safety and effectiveness for every patient. We will review all potential contraindications during your consultation to determine your suitability for treatment.
Fitzpatrick Prevention
We treat all Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI safely. Darker skin (types IV-VI) needs special care to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). We use pre-treatment protocols like hydroquinone or azelaic acid with strict SPF, and choose safer device settings for darker skin tones.
Pregnancy, neuromuscular anticoagulants
Some conditions affect treatment safety. Contraindications include pregnancy, neuromuscular disorders (for Botox), recent isotretinoin use (for lasers), and anticoagulants (increases bruising). Always share your full medical history during your consultation.
Skin Laxity, sequencing
Be realistic about results. Most treatments need multiple sessions. We'll create a personalized treatment plan with proper sequencing for best results. Event timelines: toxin 2 weeks; fillers 4-6 weeks; lasers 6-12 weeks before major events.

Targeted Solutions by Area
Best Treatments by Area (Forehead, Crow's Feet, Lips, Neck, Hands)
Customized Plans for Your Unique Concerns
We understand that different areas require different solutions. We specialize in treating specific areas like the forehead, crow’s feet, lips, and neck with customized plans that ensure a natural-looking and harmonized result.
Forehead/glabella: neuromodulators
Botox works best for horizontal forehead lines and vertical frown lines between brows (glabella ~20 units; forehead ~10-20 units).
Crow's feet/under-eye: toxin + RF microneedling/lasers
Combine Botox for dynamic lines with RF microneedling or lasers for crepey texture under eyes.
Perioral lines: microfiller + resurfacing
Perioral lines (smoker's lines) need combination therapy: subtle microfiller technique plus laser resurfacing or peels.
Neck bands and jawline: toxin, RF microneedling, RFAL, Ultherapy
Platysmal bands can be softened with neuromodulators (Nefertiti neck lift) for contour refinement. RF microneedling, RFAL, or Ultherapy address laxity and fat.
Hands/décolletage: fillers, lasers, peels
Don't forget visible areas beyond your face. Hands and chest respond well to fillers, lasers, and peels.

Long-Term Results
Combination Therapy and Maintenance Schedule
A Holistic Approach to Youthful Skin
For the most comprehensive and lasting results, we often recommend a combination of treatments. We will create a maintenance schedule to help you protect your investment and ensure your skin stays smooth and refreshed over time.
Combining treatments amplifies results. We might do Botox first, add filler two weeks later, then laser resurface in winter. Plan for regular touch-ups: toxins every 3-4 months, fillers 6-18 months, resurfacing annually.
At-Home Skincare
Prevention & At-Home Care (Retinoids, Vitamin C, SPF)
Protecting Your Results with Daily Habits
Your at-home skincare routine is a critical part of your anti-aging strategy. We will recommend medical-grade products with key ingredients like retinoids, Vitamin C, and daily SPF to prevent future wrinkles and enhance the effects of your in-clinic treatments.
Daily care matters. Use retinoids (tretinoin) at night, vitamin C antioxidants in morning, and broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ always. Add a humidifier in Calgary's dry climate. Calgary's long winter is perfect for laser treatments—less sun exposure means better healing.
