Is Vitamin C in skincare worth it?
Let us break this down.
Vitamin C helps to stimulate the production of collagen and provide antioxidant protection against UV-induced photo-damage (which is responsible for both sunburns and aging of the skin).
Since Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it is very difficulty for it to penetrate through you skin barrier. Therefore, skincare formulations of Vitamin C serums must have a lower pH. Also, Vitamin C is very unstable so good quality serums will come in a dark glass bottle to protect against sunlight.
For the visual learners, think of Vitamin C like you skin’s personal body guard! It helps to PROTECT the skin
against …
1. The normal AGING
process of wrinkle formation and loss of elasticity
2. Exposure to ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS such as sun, heat, dry and cold.
3. CHEMICALS present in harsh beauty and cleansing products.
4. Skin INJURY & INFLAMMATION
5. HYPERPIGMENTATION caused by overproduction of melanocytes either by melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g. acne, scars), or sun-damage
With consistent use of a topical vitamin C serum , patients often report their skin appears bright, smoother and more supple.
So eat your fruits and veggies and consider adding a Vitamin C serum
to your skincare regime!

We’re proud to share that The Face Lab and our very own Nurse Joanna Auguste were recently featured in The Globe & Mail in an in-depth article exploring the growing popularity of tweakments —non-surgical treatments that offer natural, undetectable improvements without the need for downtime. In the national feature, “ Subtle Refresh: How Tweakments Are Shaping the Way We Age ,” leading aesthetic experts across Canada shared how patients are embracing a more refined, less-is-more approach to skin rejuvenation. Rather than dramatic makeovers, today’s treatments focus on texture, tone, and long-term skin health. Nurse Jo’s Signature Approach to Tweakments Nurse Joanna, founder and medical director of The Face Lab, was recognized for her innovative, technology-driven treatment protocols that prioritize subtle enhancement and lasting results. One such treatment featured in the article was her proprietary “No Needle BioGlow” —a combination therapy that layers Tixel® , Sofwave™ , Aerolase® NeoElite , and Exosome technology to: Resurface and smooth skin texture Firm and lift the face without injectables Brighten dull, uneven skin tone The result? A refreshed complexion that looks energized, not altered. “I love how my face looks. I don’t feel that I look tired, even when I’m working long hours and am sleep deprived.” — Jenny Boussoulas, as quoted in The Globe & Mail This treatment highlights The Face Lab’s philosophy: combining gold-standard devices with clinical artistry to enhance—not replace—what’s already there. Why Tweakments Are Trending As covered in the article, tweakments are rising in demand across Canada because they are: Customizable and suitable for all skin tones Low-downtime and non-invasive Focused on prevention, refinement, and skin longevity Supported by social media visibility and improved access to credible providers Patients today want to look like the best version of themselves—not someone else. Treatments Highlighted by Nurse Jo 1. Microneedling Joanna described microneedling as the ideal entry point for those new to tweakments. This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin , helping to: Benefits include: Smoother texture and reduced pore size Diminished acne scarring Improved elasticity and firmness “It’s a tried-and-true collagen induction therapy that builds the scaffolding of the skin, and people get great results,” Joanna explained. 2. Aerolase® NeoElite A favorite among patients of all skin tones, Aerolase® NeoElite is a 650-microsecond Nd:YAG laser cleared by Health Canada. It delivers energy deep into the dermis to address: Hyperpigmentation and sun damage Rosacea, redness, and vascular concerns Active acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation Laxity and enlarged pores “The laser goes deeper into the skin, targeting melanin and hemoglobin to help with redness and brown pigment—but it can also tighten the skin, refine pores, and zap acne too,” Joanna shared in the feature A Modern Philosophy of Skin Confidence The tweakment movement reflects a broader cultural shift toward authenticity, confidence, and skin longevity . At The Face Lab, our goal has always been to offer high-efficacy treatments that support your skin’s natural integrity—no overcorrection, no shortcuts, just refined results grounded in science.
At The Face Lab, we don’t just offer Sofwave®—we help shape how it’s practiced across the Canada and the Greater Toronto Area. Earlier this month, our very own Joanna Auguste (NP) , also known as Nurse Jo , led an exclusive hands-on Sofwave® workshop for fellow aesthetic providers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) . This advanced, interactive training session was hosted by Xcite Technologies and THMA Consulting in collaboration with LBL Clinics in Yorkville , and brought together top-tier aesthetic professionals committed to clinical excellence in non-invasive skin tightening and lifting. As a recognized Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Sofwave® and one of the most experienced providers in Canada, Nurse Jo shared The Face Lab’s high-standard treatment protocols , shared case studies, and offered real-time coaching on best practices for delivering optimal results with Sofwave’s unique Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology™ (SUPERB™) . Providers in attendance gained insight into: Precision-based Sofwave® energy delivery Proper patient selection and real-life outcomes Techniques to lift the brows, define the jawline, and rejuvenate the neck without surgery How to combine Sofwave® with other technologies for enhanced skin rejuvenation By investing in education and contributing to clinical advancement and networking with like-minded colleagues, The Face Lab ensures our patients receive the most refined, evidence-based treatment plans —backed by depth of experience, not just access to the device.

When we talk about skin health, one word keeps showing up: inflammation . Whether it’s visible redness, sensitivity, acne, rosacea, or aging beneath the surface, inflammation is often the common denominator. At The Face Lab , we believe in going beyond surface-level skincare. That’s where our CryoFacials come in—combining prevention, repair, and chill-worthy science to support calm, resilient skin at every age. If you’re looking for non-invasive, inflammation-reducing skin treatments in Toronto , here’s everything you need to know about how this cooling facial therapy works—and why it’s become a cult favourite at our clinic. Why Inflammation Is at the Root of So Many Skin Issues Inflammation is your skin’s natural defense response—but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to: Breakouts and acne flares Redness, flushing, and rosacea Collagen breakdown and premature aging Hyperpigmentation and sensitivity In other words, inflammation isn’t just a symptom—it’s often the cause. That’s why The Face Lab’s CryoFacials focus on calming inflammation as a first line of defense in any skin health protocol. What Is a CryoFacial? CryoFacials use precision-controlled cold therapy to reduce inflammation, redness, and sensitivity while boosting circulation and supporting skin repair. Unlike peels or energy-based devices, CryoFacials don’t rely on heat or injury to stimulate results—making them ideal for sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin types . Think of it as a reset button for stressed-out skin. Whether used as a standalone treatment or post-procedure recovery boost, CryoFacials help restore balance and radiance without downtime. How It Works: Cooling Inflammation from the Inside Out CryoFacials work by gently lowering the skin’s surface temperature to trigger vasoconstriction followed by rebound vasodilation. This process: Reduces redness, puffiness, and irritation Soothes inflamed acne and calms rosacea Improves microcirculation for better oxygen and nutrient delivery Supports lymphatic drainage and detoxification By lowering skin temperature in a controlled way, we can help regulate inflammatory responses while preserving and protecting your skin barrier. What to Expect During and After Your CryoFacial CryoFacials are quick, cooling, and completely non-invasive. Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes , and many clients describe the sensation as a relaxing chill—like a cool breeze after a hot day. You’ll leave with skin that looks calmer, tighter, and more radiant . There’s no peeling, no redness, and no post-care restrictions. Who Are CryoFacials For? This treatment is ideal for: Clients with sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin Post-laser or post-Tixel healing support Melasma, inflamed acne, or rosacea Anyone looking for preventative skin health support CryoFacials are safe for all skin tones and types, and they play beautifully with other treatments in your long-term skin plan. Prevention Is Power: Why Cooling the Skin Helps Long-Term Health Chronic inflammation often goes unnoticed until it shows up as premature aging, pigment changes, or stubborn breakouts. By integrating cooling therapies like CryoFacials , we help regulate the skin’s natural defense mechanisms and prevent long-term damage—without relying on injury-based triggers. This is modern skin health: gentle, smart, and effective. Ready to Cool the Fire Within? Whether you’re post-procedure or just want to give your skin a break from stress and sensitivity, CryoFacials at The Face Lab in Toronto offer a targeted, non-invasive way to bring your skin back to balance.

The ABCs of Vitamin C: Why This Antioxidant Should Be a Non-Negotiable in Your Skincare Routine If there’s one skincare ingredient that belongs in everyone’s regimen , it’s Vitamin C. Whether you're just beginning your skincare journey or refining a clinical-grade routine, Vitamin C is the multitasking MVP that helps protect, brighten, and firm—no matter your age or skin type. At The Face Lab in Toronto , we believe in intentional skincare powered by evidence , and few ingredients have as much clinical backing as Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) . What Does Vitamin C Actually Do for the Skin? Think of Vitamin C like your skin’s daily bodyguard —it doesn’t just boost your glow, it fights off environmental threats that accelerate aging. Here’s what makes it a powerhouse: Brightens dull, uneven skin tone Neutralizes free radicals caused by UV rays and pollution Boosts collagen production to improve firmness and elasticity Reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and sun damage Helps prevent premature aging when used consistently Why Not All Vitamin C Is Created Equal The truth? Not every Vitamin C serum is effective. Like a freshly sliced orange, Vitamin C is highly unstable and oxidizes quickly when exposed to light, air, or heat. That’s why we only recommend clinically stabilized formulations that are proven to penetrate and perform. How to Choose the Right Vitamin C Serum Look for these ABCs when selecting your Vitamin C: A ctive Form: Opt for L-ascorbic acid , the most researched and potent form of Vitamin C B lendability: It should pair well with other active ingredients like niacinamide , Vitamin E , or ferulic acid C linical Formulation: Stick to medical-grade brands with research-backed ingredients, tested pH levels, and proper packaging When and How to Use Vitamin C Use your Vitamin C serum every morning after cleansing , before moisturizer and SPF. It works best during the day, when your skin needs extra protection from oxidative stress. 💡 Pro tip from The Face Lab: Layering Vitamin C under sunscreen can amplify your UV defense , giving you better long-term protection against photoaging. Our Favourite Vitamin C Serums at The Face Lab™ We’ve curated only the most effective Vitamin C serums that meet our clinical standards. These are the ones we trust on our own skin and recommend to patients daily: 1. AlumierMD® EverActive C&E™ + Peptide A stabilized, dual-chamber system that maintains potency with every use.

Looking for next-level skin rejuvenation that’s all natural and seriously effective? Let us introduce you to Microneedling with PRFM —a clinic-fave at The Face Lab that combines collagen-boosting microneedling with the regenerative power of your own plasma. Yup, it’s that good. What Is Microneedling, Anyway? Microneedling (also called Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) uses super-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. Sounds intense, but your body loves it—it kicks your natural healing response into gear, boosting collagen and elastin to smooth texture, soften scars, fade fine lines, and tighten things up. Enter PRFM: The Upgrade Your Skin Deserves PRFM stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix . It’s like the cooler, more advanced version of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). We draw a small amount of your blood, spin it in a special centrifuge, and extract the fibrin-rich golden layer full of growth factors. This natural elixir speeds up healing, enhances glow, and helps you bounce back faster. PRFM = next-level results with minimal downtime . Why Our Clients Love It: ✨ Smoother Skin Texture – Think: refined pores, faded acne scars, softer surface ✨ Anti-Aging Benefits – Reduces wrinkles, boosts elasticity, lifts tired skin ✨ Even Skin Tone – Helps with pigmentation and dullness ✨ Speedy Recovery – Less downtime thanks to those healing growth factors ✨ All-Natural + Safe – It’s your own blood. No additives. No risk of allergic reactions ✨ Long-Lasting Results – Enjoy firmer, clearer skin for up to 1–2 years Is Microneedling with PRFM Right for You?

The channels we create help the growth factors absorb deep into the dermis, where real change happens. 5. Aftercare Post-treatment, expect a bit of redness and tightness for up to 3 days. No heat, workouts, or makeup for 48 hours. You'll start glowing in days—but best results come after 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
The Face Lab’s Signature Rejuvenation Facial has proudly earned a spot among Toronto’s best facial treatments, recently featured in The Kit ’s roundup of the top spring facials for 2025 . This 65-minute, 15-step experience is designed to deeply revive and restore the skin, expertly blending advanced medical-grade techniques with the calming experience of a luxury facial. Why The Face Lab’s Rejuvenation Facial Stands Out Located in the heart of Toronto’s Little Portugal, The Face Lab offers a serene, below-street-level retreat that feels like a hidden sanctuary. Patients describe the atmosphere as warm, welcoming, and intentionally curated, making each visit as emotionally rejuvenating as it is physically transformative. The Signature Rejuvenation Facial is a multi-pronged treatment that targets fine lines, sun damage, congestion, dullness, and dehydration. Patients often leave with visibly brighter, smoother, more radiant skin and a noticeable reduction in puffiness and signs of fatigue around the eyes. Inside the 15-Step Multi-Pronged Approach The Rejuvenation Facial is more than a traditional spa treatment—it’s a complete skin health protocol. Some of the highlights of the 15-step approach include: Deep Cleansing and Gentle Exfoliation : Carefully removes impurities and dead skin cells, setting the foundation for optimal absorption of active ingredients. Steam and Extractions : Softens the skin and clears congestion without aggressive force, reducing the likelihood of future breakouts. Clinical-Grade Chemical Peel : Tailored to your skin type and concerns, this step uses AHA and BHA solutions to brighten, smooth, and even out tone and texture. Customized Masks and Serums : Precision formulas are layered to nourish, hydrate, and rebuild the skin barrier. SPF Protection : Every treatment concludes with medical-grade sun protection to preserve and protect results. Every step is intentionally chosen to stimulate cell turnover, enhance skin clarity, support collagen production, and restore the skin’s natural glow. Why It’s the Best Facial for Spring Spring is the ideal time to refresh and reset your skin after a long, harsh winter. Cold, dry conditions can compromise the skin barrier, causing dullness, dehydration, and sensitivity. The Face Lab’s Signature Rejuvenation Facial is specifically designed to address these seasonal skin concerns, preparing your skin for the months ahead with hydration, resilience, and renewed vibrancy. It’s the perfect investment in your skin's long-term health—and it’s no surprise it was recognized by The Kit as one of the top facials to book this season.

If you’re looking for skin rejuvenation that’s subtle, regenerative, and long-lasting—without the instantly “filled” look— Sculptra might be the biostimulant you’ve been searching for. At The Face Lab, we specialize in treatments that work with your body’s natural healing systems, not against them. And Sculptra is a prime example of that. So how exactly does Sculptra work? Let’s break it down. What Is Sculptra, and What Does It Do? Sculptra is an injectable biostimulant made from PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) —a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic compound that’s been used safely in medicine for decades. When injected beneath the skin, PLLA particles stimulate your body to produce collagen , the protein responsible for skin structure, elasticity, and firmness. This process is called neocollagenesis —aka the rebuilding of your skin from the inside out. How Does Sculptra Work Over Time? Unlike traditional dermal fillers that offer instant volume by physically filling space, Sculptra works gradually by jumpstarting your skin’s natural collagen production. Here’s what you can expect: Week 1–4: You may notice a subtle, temporary “plumping” from the injection fluid—this fades within a few days. Month 1–3: Your skin begins building collagen beneath the surface. Month 3–6: Full results develop slowly, revealing firmer, fuller, smoother skin —without looking overdone or obvious. Results are long-lasting—typically 2 to 3 years —and can be maintained with regular touch-ups. Where Is Sculptra Used? Sculptra is most commonly used to treat facial volume loss , especially due to aging or weight loss. It’s ideal for areas like: Temples Cheeks Pre-auricular area Marionette lines Smile lines And even off-label for areas like the buttocks, chest, and arms for skin tightening and contour Is Sculptra Worth It? This is one of the most searched questions—and for good reason. If you're looking for a treatment that delivers long-term, natural-looking results , Sculptra is absolutely worth considering. Here’s why patients at The Face Lab love it: It supports your body’s own collagen synthesis There’s no “pillow face” or overfilled look It’s discreet—your skin just starts looking better, and no one knows why Results can last 2–3x longer than traditional fillers Sculptra vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference? One of the top Google searches we see is: “Is Sculptra better than filler?” The answer depends on your goals.
At The Face Lab, we’re all about treatments that work with your body, not just on it. If you’re exploring more regenerative options for facial rejuvenation beyond traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, you’ve likely come across Sculptra and Radiesse. While both are biostimulant injectables—designed to stimulate your own natural collagen—they work differently and are tailored for different goals. Let’s break down the differences between Sculptra and H yperdilute Radiesse , so you can feel confident about choosing the treatment that aligns best with your skin goals. What Are Biostimulants, and Why Choose Them? Biostimulants are not your typical fillers. Unlike HA fillers, which simply add temporary volume, biostimulants trigger your body to produce collagen , offering results that evolve naturally over time. If you're looking for subtle rejuvenation, longer-lasting outcomes, and treatments that support your skin's internal architecture, biostimulants like Sculptra and hyperdilute Radiesse might be your perfect match. The Breakdown: Sculptra vs. Hyperdilute Radiesse 1. Composition + Mechanism of Action Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic Acid) Composed of PLLA, a synthetic, biodegradable substance. Works by stimulating collagen deep within the dermis. No instant volume—results develop gradually over weeks to months. Ideal for global volume restoration and natural rejuvenation. Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite) Made from CaHA microspheres suspended in a gel. Offers immediate volume while also kickstarting collagen production. When hyperdiluted, Radiesse becomes more spreadable, perfect for skin tightening, texture improvement, and mild volume support. Think of it as both a volumizer and a collagen-booster depending on how it’s used. Treatment Areas Sculptra is great for: Cheeks and temples (think: lifting and restoring contour) Jawline refinement Facial hollowness from aging, weight loss, or illness Chest and body areas when used off-label (we’ll guide you through what’s safe and effective) Hyperdilute Radiesse shines in: Lower face: smile lines, marionette lines, jawline Neck and décolletage: for tightening and texture Hands: for volume and skin quality Arms, thighs, and buttocks (off-label) to improve crepiness and firmness Results Timeline + Longevity Sculptra Collagen-building takes time—expect to see results gradually over 3–6 months. Long-lasting: up to 2+ years with proper treatment. Perfect if you’re after a slow, steady, and natural-looking transformation. Radiesse (Hyperdiluted) Delivers instant volume when used undiluted. When hyperdiluted, it improves skin texture and firmness over time—results can last 12–18 months. Best for those who want a visible “glow-up” sooner, while still benefiting from longer-term collagen production. What Does the Treatment Process Look Like? Sculptra Typically done in a series of 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Minimal downtime—expect mild swelling or bruising post-injection. Full results develop over time as collagen builds. Hyperdilute Radiesse Often requires 1–2 sessions depending on the area and desired result. You’ll see some instant improvement, especially with undiluted Radiesse, followed by ongoing skin enhancement. Low downtime, with results that build and refine over weeks. Who’s a Good Candidate? At The Face Lab, we personalize every treatment plan based on your anatomy, skin health, and goals—but here are some general guidelines: Sculptra may be right for you if you: Have experienced significant facial volume loss Are looking for subtle, long-term improvement Prefer results that appear naturally over time Hyperdilute Radiesse might be ideal if you: Want immediate skin rejuvenation with a side of collagen-building, especially in the neck and hands Are targeting skin laxity or texture issues Are looking for a more lifted, smoother look without the “overfilled” appearance Final Thoughts: Which One Should You Choose? Both Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse offer incredible skin-regenerating benefits—but the best option depends on your goals, timeline, and what kind of transformation you’re envisioning.
