MONTREAL
CLINIQUE ANTI-AGING 3431 Stanley St., Montreal, 514-482-1262, cliniqueantiaging.com. A degree in medical illustration gives major aesthetic cred to Dr. Cynthia Stolovitz, whose talent with injectables is her calling card. Her contemporary clinic (tucked away in a heritage building) is a perfect lunchtime getaway for a little IPL laser work to zap dark spots or a Mesolift treatment. The latter involves making micro-injections in the middle layer of the skin and works wonders on fine lines, as well as scars, stretch marks and cellulite. CLINIQUE DGB 420 McGill Ave., Suite 402, Montreal, 514-654-1445, drgblackburn.com. Resident doc Geneviève Blackburn recently upgraded her space to accommodate a growing clientele. The now-standard trio of Botox, fillers and IPL produces beautiful results: gently sculpted faces with clearer skin, smaller pores and a brighter complexion. Also on the menu is CoolSculpting, for noninvasive fat reduction, and SkinTyte, for tightening post-pregnancy or after weight loss. LES COURS MEDICAL CENTRE 1455 Peel St., Suite 111, Montreal, 514-9051234, lescoursmedical.com. Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Omar Fouda Neel is part of the aesthetic team here at the largest medical clinic in Canada. He’s renowned in Montreal for his talent with fillers and Botox. Below the neck, the centre also offers Ultrashape V3 body contouring and Thermage CPT. For those looking to say a permanent goodbye to their exes, the Picosure Laser for tattoo removal is speedy. DERMAPURE 506 McGill St., Suite 200, Montreal, 438-793-5152, 877781-1811, dermapure.com. One of five Dermapure clinics across the province, this spot is a popular address for aesthetic touch-ups and refinement. CoolSculpting and Ulthera (for body contouring and tightening, respectively) are the buzzwords in non-invasive treatments, popular for their results in whittling down your waistline and toning your jaw line and neck. »
