Soundside Skin & Wellness Studio

There’s a LOT of pressure online to know exactly what your skin needs.

Microneedling or a peel? Facial or laser? Is your skin dull, dehydrated, sun damaged… or somehow all three? 😅

The good news? You don’t need to figure it out before you book.

That’s where Lainie comes in.

With years of experience in advanced skincare + aesthetics, Lainie can look at what’s actually happening with your skin, listen to what you want to work on + help you choose the treatment that makes sense for you.

Sometimes that’s a facial. Sometimes it’s microneedling, dermaplaning, a chemical peel or LaseMD Ultra. And sometimes the best place to start is simply having a conversation about your skin.

You bring the skin goals. Lainie will help with the plan.

Aesthetic medicine might happen in a beautiful clinic instead of a hospital, but it is still medicine. 🤍

And we’re happy to see Ontario continuing to strengthen the standards surrounding how medical aesthetic care is delivered.

These treatments come with real clinical considerations, which is why things like proper assessment, informed consent, treatment planning, documentation, Health Canada-authorized products + appropriate prescriber involvement matter.

You may notice some changes to the process as new guidance comes into effect, and if something changes at Soundside, we’ll always explain what’s changing + why.

But many of the principles being emphasized are already part of how we approach your care.

Because behind every treatment is a medical decision.

And when you trust us with your face, skin or body, you deserve care that is thoughtful, accountable + held to appropriate clinical standards.

We’re glad to see our industry continuing to move in that direction.

Better standards mean better protection for patients. And that’s something we can all get behind.

By now, you’ve probably heard us (and the rest of the internet) talking about laser season. 🍂

But there’s a reason we get excited about this time of year.

As summer wraps up and our UV exposure starts to decrease, fall gives us a great window to start working on some of the things that may have become a little more noticeable over the last few months: pigmentation, sun damage, redness, uneven texture + changes in skin quality.

And the key word here is start.

Great skin plans take time. Depending on your skin and your goals, that might mean LaseMD Ultra, Clarity II, XERF, microneedling, a peel, medical-grade skincare or a combination of treatments over time.

You don’t need to know which one to book. That’s what we’re here for. 🤍

Bring us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll assess your skin, talk through your options + build a plan that makes sense for you.

Hair loss doesn’t always look the way you expect it to.

For some people, it starts at the hairline or crown. For others, the first sign is a widening part, more visible scalp or realizing their hair simply doesn’t feel as dense as it used to.

And because hair loss can have different patterns and contributing factors, we don’t think the answer should be to immediately reach for the latest hair growth product and hope for the best.

Understanding what you’re noticing + what may be contributing to it is an important first step.

For appropriate candidates, one option we offer at Soundside is our KeraLase Hair Restoration Program, which combines LaseMD Ultra treatment of the scalp with KeraFactor® serum as part of a treatment series designed to support the scalp and hair.

Hair changes can feel incredibly personal, and you don’t need to figure out what they mean on your own.

If you’ve started noticing a change in your hairline, part or overall density, come talk to us about what you’re seeing. We can assess your concerns and help determine what the next step should be.

There is such a thing as asking too much of your skin.

Retinol, vitamin C, exfoliating acids and niacinamide can all have a place in a great skincare routine. But using more actives, higher percentages or layering everything together doesn’t automatically mean better results.

Sometimes it means redness, flaking, stinging, sensitivity and a skin barrier that’s struggling to keep up.

And this is where things can get confusing. When your skin starts feeling rough, breaking out or looking dull, your first instinct might be to add another active to fix it.

Sometimes what your skin actually needs is less.

A good routine isn’t about collecting every ingredient TikTok tells you about. It’s knowing what you’re trying to treat, choosing products that make sense together + giving them enough time to work.

And if your bathroom cabinet is currently telling a different story… Dump Your Dupes is for you. 👀

Bring your current skincare into Soundside and let us help you simplify your routine + build one that makes sense for your skin.

Sometimes the best way to refresh the under-eyes is to not treat the under-eyes at all. 👀

The face is connected, and changes through the midface can influence how the under-eye area looks. When support through the cheeks and midface starts to change, the transition into the under-eye can appear more hollow, shadowed or tired.

By strategically restoring support through the midface, we can sometimes soften that transition and create the appearance of a smoother, more refreshed under-eye, without treating the under-eye directly.

This is why we don’t look at one feature in isolation. We look at your facial structure, proportions, movement and where support has changed before deciding where treatment will have the most impact.

Because sometimes the area bothering you isn’t actually the area we need to treat. 🤍
