Compass Dermatology

Aging is something we embrace, but on our own terms. We want how we feel on the inside to be reflected in our outward appearance, and we know you do, too. Neuromodulators (which are known by the brand name Botox, among others, in Canada) are non-invasive injections that improve the signs of aging with no recovery time and natural-looking results.

Collagen plays a vital role in healthy skin, maintaining strength, structure, elasticity and hydration. Unfortunately, by the time people reach their 40s, the amount of collagen in their skin decreases by about 20% — and it only gets worse with every passing year. This is why wrinkles and volume loss develop with age.

The C-LIFT works to restore healthy collagen levels using the synergistic power of two of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments: calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler and Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization.

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that is not related to heat or exercise. Excess sweating under the arms (axillae) can be embarrassing. It can also ruin your favorite clothes or force you to wear layers to cover up. For people affected by hyperhidrosis, Botox injections can significantly decrease sweat production, leading to improved confidence, comfort, and quality of life.

Over time, your skin loses its youthful glow as a result of sun exposure and the aging process. Age spots and broken blood vessels appear. Collagen production decreases, resulting in fine lines and prominent pores. It's time to restore the health of your skin.
