At Thrive! MedAesthetics, our team brings over 25 years of experience to deliver subtle, natural-looking results that let you look refreshed without looking "done." Whether you're looking to soften existing lines or prevent new ones from forming, our approach is conservative, personalized, and always focused on enhancing your natural beauty. ## What Are Neuromodulators? Neuromodulators are purified proteins that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Botox and Xeomin both work by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother. The key difference between them is their formulation - Xeomin is a "naked" molecule without additives, which may reduce the risk of antibody formation. Our team selects the ideal product based on your anatomy, treatment goals, and how your body responds. ## How It Works - Consultation: Our team assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your concerns and goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan. No pressure - just expert guidance. - Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed. Most patients find the injections very tolerable. - Treatment: Using ultra-fine needles, precise amounts of neuromodulator are injected into targeted muscles. The entire process takes 10-15 minutes. - Immediate Aftercare: You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. A follow-up appointment is complimentary if you have any concerns with your results. - Results Appear: You'll begin to see results within 7-8 days, with full effects visible at 10-14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months. - Maintenance: Regular treatments every 3-4 months help maintain smooth skin. Over time, muscles may require less product as they learn to relax. ## Benefits - Smooths forehead lines and frown lines - Softens crow's feet around the eyes - Lifts drooping brows for a refreshed look - Prevents new wrinkles from forming - Slims the jawline (masseter reduction) - Treats excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) - Relieves TMJ pain and chronic migraines - Quick 10-15 minute treatment - No downtime - return to activities immediately - Natural-looking results that preserve expression ## Treatment Areas - Forehead Lines - Frown Lines (11s) - Crow's Feet - Brow Lift - Bunny Lines - Lip Flip - Chin Dimpling - Neck Bands - TMJ / Jaw Slimming - Hyperhidrosis (Sweating) - Migraine Relief ## Pricing Starting at $10/unit ## FAQs ### How long does Botox last? Results typically last 3-4 months. With regular treatments, some patients find they can go longer between sessions as muscles become trained to relax. ### Will I look frozen or expressionless? Absolutely not. Our conservative approach ensures you maintain natural facial expressions while looking refreshed and rejuvenated. ### Is the treatment painful? Most patients describe a brief pinching sensation. The needles used are ultra-fine, and the treatment takes only 10-15 minutes. ### At what age should I start Botox? There's no specific age - it depends on your concerns. Many patients in their late 20s-30s start preventive treatments, while others begin later to address existing wrinkles. ### Can Botox be combined with other treatments? Yes! Botox pairs beautifully with fillers, laser treatments, and skincare protocols for a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/medical-botox-chronic-migraine # Botox for Chronic Migraine Evidence-Based Preventive Treatment for Chronic Migraine If you have been living with migraines, you already know that describing them to someone who has not experienced one is almost impossible.

A level of pain that reorganizes your entire life around trying to prevent the next one. This is not normal. And it is not something you simply have to manage forever with painkillers alone. Botulinum toxin - most commonly known by the brand names Botox or Xeomin - has become one of the most evidence-backed preventive treatments we have for chronic migraine. It works upstream - interrupting the pain signaling pathways before the migraine cycle has a chance to fully establish itself. ## How Does It Work? A migraine is not just 'a bad headache.' It is a neurological event - a cascade of electrical and chemical signals that, once triggered, can be very difficult to stop. The muscles and nerves in and around the scalp, neck, and temples play an active role in that cascade. Botulinum toxin, injected at very specific points across the head and neck, temporarily quiets those muscle-nerve signals. It does not change your brain chemistry in a systemic way. It acts locally - at the injection sites - to reduce the neurological noise that feeds the migraine cycle. For patients with chronic migraine (defined as 15 or more headache days per month, at least 8 of which have migraine features), this can translate into significantly fewer migraine days, reduced severity, and improved function. ## How It Works - Initial Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of your migraine history, frequency, triggers, and prior treatments. - Treatment Protocol: 10-40 specific injection sites across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and upper shoulders. The pattern follows a standardized, evidence-based map. - Session Duration: Each session takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. No sedation, no recovery time. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. - Repeat Cycle: Treatment is repeated every 12 weeks. The benefit tends to accumulate - many patients notice the most significant improvement after the second or third cycle. ## Benefits - Evidence-backed preventive treatment - Reduces migraine frequency and severity - Cumulative improvement with repeated treatments - Rare systemic side effects - Quick 20-30 minute sessions - No downtime - Covered by some private drug insurance plans - Medical tax deductible ## Treatment Areas - Forehead - Temples - Back of Head - Neck - Upper Shoulders ## Pricing Starting at $250 injection fee + cost of medication ## FAQs ### How quickly will I see results? Most patients do not experience significant improvement after a single treatment. By the second treatment (week 12), many begin to notice meaningful reduction. By the third treatment (week 24), results are typically at their most pronounced. ### Is this treatment covered by insurance? The medication may be eligible for coverage under some private drug insurance plans - but this is not automatic. Contact your insurer to ask about coverage and preauthorization requirements. The treatment administration fee is rarely covered. ### What if it doesn't work for me? If three full treatment cycles produce no measurable benefit, we will have an honest conversation about whether this approach is the right one for you. We track your migraine diary together across cycles. ### Are there lower-cost options? Yes. Xeomin is often more affordable than Botox while delivering comparable clinical results. Dosing can sometimes be optimized to reduce medication cost. ### Is this a medical tax deduction? Yes. Because chronic migraine is a medical condition - not a cosmetic concern - treatment costs are eligible as medical tax deductions. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/medical-botox-tmj # Botox for TMJ & Masseter Pain Masseter Relaxation for TMJ Pain, Clenching & Jaw Tension There is a muscle on the side of your jaw - the masseter - that is one of the strongest muscles in the human body relative to its size. Its job is chewing. Simple enough. But for many people, that muscle has taken on a second, involuntary job: holding tension. Grinding teeth at night. Clenching during stress. Bracing through the day without any conscious awareness that it is happening. Over time, a masseter that is chronically overactive does not just ache - it remodels. It enlarges. It can alter the shape of the lower face. It can create headaches that start at the temples and radiate through the jaw. It can make eating, yawning, or simply opening your mouth feel like a significant effort. This is temporomandibular joint pain - TMJ - and it is far more common than most people realize, and far more treatable. ## How Botulinum Toxin Helps When we inject a small amount of botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle, we are temporarily reducing that muscle's ability to generate its full force. We are not paralyzing it - you will still chew, still speak, still function completely normally. We are turning the volume down. Think of it like a muscle that has been sprinting for years without a rest day. The botulinum toxin gives it permission to stop. The clenching reduces. The grinding diminishes. The tension that has been building in the jaw, the temples, and the base of the skull begins to release. For many patients, the masseter gradually softens and reduces in size over subsequent treatments, producing a subtle but noticeable change in the jawline - a softer, less squared appearance. We want to be clear that this is a secondary consequence of the medical treatment, not the goal. We mention it because patients often notice it and want to understand why it is happening. ## How It Works - Assessment: Evaluation of jaw tension, clenching patterns, and masseter size. - Injection: A small number of carefully placed injections directly into the masseter muscle on each side. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes. - Recovery: No downtime. Avoid very hard or chewy foods for the first 24 hours. - Results: Results begin within 2 to 4 weeks. Full effect - including any muscle bulk reduction - may take 6 to 8 weeks. Repeat every 2 to 4 months. ## Benefits - Reduces jaw clenching and teeth grinding - Relieves TMJ pain and tension headaches - Gradual jawline slimming effect - Quick 10-15 minute treatment - No downtime - Results improve with repeated treatments - Non-surgical alternative - Medical tax deductible ## Treatment Areas - Masseter Muscle (bilateral) ## Pricing Consultation required ## FAQs ### Will I still be able to chew normally? Absolutely. The treatment reduces excessive force but does not impair normal chewing, speaking, or jaw function. ### Is this covered by insurance? The botulinum toxin medication may be eligible for coverage under some private drug insurance plans for TMJ - but this is not automatic. Contact your insurer to ask about coverage and preauthorization requirements. The treatment administration fee is rarely covered. Because this is an off-label use, coverage is rare and typically only arises through a Health Spending Account (HSA). If you have an HSA, the full treatment may be eligible. ### What does 'off-label' mean? Off-label does not mean experimental or unsafe. It means the pharmaceutical company has not gone through the formal approval process for that specific use - often because the clinical evidence exists but the commercial case for pursuing a separate approval is not there. We use botulinum toxin for masseter pain because the evidence supports it and it works. Many well-established medical treatments are used off-label every day. ### How long do results last? Initial treatments last 4-6 months. With repeated treatments, the interval often extends as the muscle responds and the clenching pattern is interrupted. ### I wear a nightguard. Should I still consider this? If you have been told by a dentist that you grind your teeth, or if you wear a nightguard, this conversation is worth having. The nightguard protects teeth but does not address the muscle tension itself. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/medical-botox-hyperhidrosis # Botox for Hyperhidrosis Excessive Sweating Treatment - Predictable, Lasting Relief Sweating is completely normal physiology. It is your body's precision cooling system, and it works beautifully - most of the time. But for some people, the sweat glands simply do not know when to stop. The system stays on when it should be off - during a calm meeting, sitting in an air-conditioned room, before a first date, right before a presentation. The sweating is excessive, unpredictable, and entirely out of proportion to any actual physical demand. It soaks through clothing. It affects handshakes. It becomes something to manage, to hide, to plan around. This is primary hyperhidrosis - a medical condition driven by overactive sweat gland signaling, not by temperature, anxiety, or anything the person is doing wrong. It is more common than most people admit, because most people are too embarrassed to bring it up. We would like to change that. ## How Botulinum Toxin Works for Sweating Sweat glands are activated by a chemical signal from your nervous system - specifically, a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Botulinum toxin works by blocking that signal at the level of the gland itself. When we inject botulinum toxin into the affected area - most commonly the underarms (axillae), the palms, or the soles of the feet - we are essentially interrupting the communication line between the nervous system and the sweat glands. The glands are still there. The nerves are still there. The signal just does not get through. The result is a dramatic and predictable reduction in sweating in the treated area. Not dryness that feels abnormal - just the absence of the excessive, uncontrollable component that has been affecting your daily life. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of sweating severity and discussion of treatment areas. Each site is assessed individually - we treat what is most affecting your quality of life. - Treatment: Small, superficial injections spaced approximately 1-2 cm apart across the treatment area. For underarms, most patients find it very tolerable. For palms, numbing cream is applied beforehand. - Results: Results begin within 2-4 days and reach full effect within 2 weeks. Significant reduction lasts 2-6 months, often longer with repeat treatments. No downtime - return to normal activities immediately. ## Benefits - Dramatic reduction in excessive sweating - Results within days - Lasts 2-6 months per treatment - No downtime - Return to normal activities immediately - Covered by some private drug insurance - Medical tax deductible - Improves confidence and quality of life ## Treatment Areas - Underarms (axillae) - the most common treatment site, highly effective, minimal discomfort - Palms (hands) - very effective, numbing cream applied for comfort - Soles of the feet - less commonly treated but effective for the right patient - Scalp and forehead - helpful for those who experience significant sweating of the scalp or face ## Pricing Insurance may cover medication ## FAQs ### Is the treatment painful? For underarms, most patients find it very tolerable. For palms, we apply numbing cream beforehand to make the process comfortable. ### Is this covered by insurance? For hyperhidrosis, botulinum toxin medication may be eligible for coverage under some private drug insurance plans. Contact your insurer to ask about coverage and preauthorization. The administration fee is rarely covered. See the coverage section above for full details. ### How long do results last? Most patients experience 2-6 months of significant reduction. Over time, many patients find results extend with each subsequent cycle. ### Will I stop sweating completely? No - and that is by design. The goal is to remove the excessive, uncontrollable component while allowing normal thermoregulation to function. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/fillers # Dermal Fillers Hyaluronic Acid and CaHa Fillers - Volume, Contour & Rejuvenation Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile tools in aesthetic medicine - capable of restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours, smoothing deep lines, and rejuvenating the overall appearance of your face. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we use only premium hyaluronic acid and CaHa fillers that integrate naturally with your tissue. Our team's artistic eye and deep understanding of facial anatomy ensure that every filler treatment looks effortlessly natural. Whether you're looking to plump your lips, define your jawline, or soften under-eye hollows, we create results that enhance - never overdo. ## What Are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are injectable gels - most commonly made of hyaluronic acid or Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHa), substances both naturally found in your body - that add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Unlike neuromodulators that relax muscles, fillers physically fill and plump the treated area. Different filler consistencies are used for different areas: softer gels for lips and under-eyes, firmer gels for jawline and cheek structure. Results are immediate and can last 6-18 months depending on the product and area treated. ## How It Works - Consultation: Our team evaluates your facial structure, discusses your aesthetic goals, and recommends the ideal filler type and volume for natural-looking results. - Preparation: An optional topical numbing cream can be applied for your comfort. Most fillers also contain lidocaine for a comfortable injection experience. - Treatment: Using fine needles or cannulas, filler is precisely injected into targeted areas. Our team sculpts and shapes as they go for optimal symmetry. - Immediate Results: Results are visible immediately. Some swelling is normal and resolves within a few days, revealing the final result at about 2 weeks. - Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment is complimentary if you have any concerns with your results. Touch-ups can be made if needed to ensure you're completely happy. - Maintenance: Results last 6-18 months depending on the area and product. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain your rejuvenated look. ## Benefits - Instantly restores lost facial volume - Enhances lip fullness and definition - Defines jawline and chin contours - Smooths deep folds and wrinkles - Fills under-eye hollows - Lifts and shapes cheekbones - Immediate, visible results - Reversible with hyaluronidase if needed - Minimal downtime - Natural-looking enhancement ## Treatment Areas - Lips - Cheeks - Jawline - Chin - Under-Eyes (Tear Troughs) - Nasolabial Folds - Marionette Lines - Temples - Hands ## Pricing Starting at $350/syringe ## FAQs ### How long do fillers last? Depending on the product and area, results last 6-18 months. Lip fillers typically last 6-9 months, while cheek and jawline fillers can last 12-18 months. ### Are fillers safe? Yes, when performed by an experienced injector. Hyaluronic acid fillers are biocompatible and reversible. Our team follows strict safety protocols. ### Will fillers look natural? Our conservative approach ensures natural-looking results. We focus on enhancing your existing features rather than creating an artificial look. ### Is there downtime? Most patients experience mild swelling and possibly some bruising. Bruising, when it occurs can last 2-3 weeks. You can return to normal activities immediately. ### How much do lip fillers cost? Lip filler starts at $350 for a small syringe. The total cost depends on the amount of product needed to achieve your desired results. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/ulthera # Ulthera (Ultherapy) Ultrasound Skin Tightening - Non-Surgical Lifting Ulthera (Ultherapy) is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and chest. It works by stimulating your body's own collagen production deep within the skin - without surgery, without needles, and without downtime. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we use Ulthera to help patients who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity without going under the knife. Results develop gradually over 2-3 months as new collagen forms, with improvements continuing for up to 6 months. ## What Is Ulthera? Ulthera uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep foundational layers of skin - but without cutting the skin. The ultrasound energy heats these deep tissue layers, triggering a natural regenerative response that produces fresh, new collagen. Over time, this collagen lifts and tightens the skin from within. Ulthera also features real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing our team to see the layers of tissue being treated and ensure energy is delivered precisely where it will be most effective. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of skin laxity and discussion of goals. Our team determines if Ulthera is the right treatment for your concerns. - Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied. A pain management protocol is discussed for your comfort. - Treatment: The Ulthera device delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin. Real-time imaging ensures accuracy. - During Treatment: You'll feel brief sensations of heat and tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered. The treatment takes 60-90 minutes depending on the area. - Results Develop: Some initial lifting is visible, but the real results develop over 2-3 months as new collagen is produced, continuing to improve for up to 6 months. - Longevity: Results can last 1-2 years. Annual maintenance treatments help sustain the lifting and tightening effects. ## Benefits - FDA-cleared for non-surgical lifting - Stimulates natural collagen production - No incisions, needles, or downtime - Targets deep foundational skin layers - Real-time ultrasound imaging for precision - Lifts brow, jawline, and neck - Results improve over 2-6 months - Single treatment session - Natural-looking gradual improvement - Can be combined with other treatments ## Treatment Areas - Full Face - Brow Lift - Lower Face & Jowls - Neck - Under Chin - Décolletage (Chest) ## Pricing Starting at $1,500 ## FAQs ### Is Ulthera painful? You'll feel brief sensations of heat and tingling during treatment. We offer comfort measures to ensure a tolerable experience. Most patients describe it as manageable. ### How many treatments do I need? Most patients achieve good results with a single treatment. Some may benefit from additional sessions based on their degree of skin laxity. ### When will I see results? The primary results develop over 2-3 months as new collagen forms, with continued improvement for up to 6 months. ### Who is a good candidate? Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity and want a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It works best for patients with some degree of skin looseness. ### Is there downtime? Most patients do not experience any downtime. Some patients experience temporary redness, slight swelling, or tingling, which typically resolves within a few hours to days. A few patients experience bruising which can last 2-3 weeks. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/hydrabrasion-facials # Hydrabrasion Facials Advanced Hydrating Facial - Deep Cleanse & Glow Hydrabrasion facials combine the power of exfoliation, gentle extraction, and deep hydration into one luxurious treatment.

Hydrabrasion is gentle enough for sensitive skin. The treatment is customized with serums appropriate for your skin type. ### Is there any downtime? No downtime at all. Your skin may appear slightly pink immediately after, but this fades quickly. Many patients apply makeup and resume normal activities right away. ### How is this different from microdermabrasion? Hydrabrasion uses a gentler vortex technology combined with hydrating serums, whereas traditional microdermabrasion uses abrasive crystals. Hydrabrasion is more comfortable and provides added hydration benefits. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/chemical-peels # Chemical Peels Professional-Grade Peels - Resurface & Renew Chemical peels are an effective tool to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, treat acne, and reveal brighter, more even-toned skin. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we offer a range of medical-grade peels - from gentle brightening peels to deeper resurfacing treatments - customized to your skin type and goals. Our peels use carefully selected acids at precise concentrations to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate cell renewal, and promote collagen production for lasting improvement. ## What Are Chemical Peels? A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment that uses specific acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This stimulates the skin's natural healing process, producing new skin that is smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in tone. ## How It Works - Skin Assessment: Our team evaluates your skin type, concerns, and history to select the ideal peel formulation and strength. - Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to ensure even peel penetration. - Application: The peel solution is carefully applied in layers. You may feel tingling or warmth as the acids work. - Neutralization: The peel is neutralized and removed at the appropriate time based on your skin's response. - Recovery: Post-peel care instructions are provided.

A series of 3-6 peels spaced 3-4 weeks apart typically provides the best results. Maintenance peels can be done seasonally. ### Is it painful? You'll feel tingling and warmth during the peel. Deeper peels may cause more intense sensation, but it's brief and well-tolerated. ### When can I wear makeup after a peel? For superficial peels, you can wear mineral makeup the next day. Medium peels may require 5-7 days before returning to full makeup. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/mesotherapy # Mesotherapy Micro-Injection Therapy - Vitamins & Nutrients Delivered Deep Mesotherapy involves precise micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid directly into the epidermis and dermis. This targeted delivery system nourishes skin cells from within, stimulating collagen production, improving hydration, and creating a natural, radiant glow. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, mesotherapy is used for facial rejuvenation, under-eye circles, skin tightening, and even hair restoration - delivering nutrients exactly where they're needed most. ## What Is Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that delivers customized blends of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts directly into the epidermis and dermis via multiple micro-injections. This bypasses the skin's outer barrier, allowing active ingredients to work far more effectively than topical products alone. The treatment stimulates the body's natural healing processes, boosts collagen and elastin production, and improves overall skin quality from the inside out. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of your skin concerns and creation of a customized blend of active ingredients tailored to your needs. - Preparation: Topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The treatment area is cleansed. - Treatment: Using ultra-fine needles, the customized solution is injected into the target area with a series of quick, superficial injections. - Completion: The treated area may appear slightly red or have small bumps, which resolve within hours.

Often called the "lunchtime facelift," ClearLift works beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve tone - all without breaking the surface. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, ClearLift is one of our most popular treatments for patients who want laser-level results but can't afford downtime. ## What Is ClearLift? ClearLift uses Q-switched Nd:YAG laser technology to create controlled micro-injuries beneath the skin's surface without damaging the outer layer. This triggers the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Because the treatment is non-ablative (doesn't break the skin surface), there is virtually no downtime, redness, or peeling. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of your skin and discussion of treatment goals. ClearLift is suitable for most skin types. - Treatment: The laser handpiece is passed over the skin, delivering rapid pulses of energy beneath the surface. Most patients feel only a warm sensation. - Duration: A full-face treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes.

At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we use advanced IPL technology to treat both facial and body concerns with precision and comfort. Whether you're dealing with sunspots, rosacea, or general redness, IPL delivers visible improvement with minimal downtime. ## What Is a Photofacial (IPL)? IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light energy to target specific chromophores in the skin - melanin (brown pigment) and hemoglobin (red blood cells). The light energy is absorbed by these targets, breaking up pigment and shrinking visible blood vessels. This results in a more even skin tone with reduced sun spots, age spots, redness, and broken capillaries. IPL also stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture over time. ## How It Works - Consultation: Evaluation of your skin concerns and discussion of realistic expectations. Sun-tanned skin must be avoided before treatment. - Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied for comfort and light transmission. - Treatment: The IPL handpiece delivers pulses of light to the skin. You'll feel a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band. - Post-Treatment: Pigmented spots will darken initially, then flake off over 7-14 days. Redness may temporarily intensify before fading. - Results: Visible improvement after each session. A series of 3-5 treatments provides optimal results. ## Benefits - Reduces sun spots and age spots - Treats rosacea and facial redness - Eliminates broken capillaries - Evens out skin tone - Stimulates collagen production - Treats face, neck, chest, and body - Minimal downtime - Progressive improvement with each session ## Treatment Areas - Full Face - Neck - Décolletage - Hands - Arms - Legs - Back ## Pricing Full face starting at $295/session ## FAQs ### How many IPL sessions do I need? Most patients achieve excellent results with 3-5 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. ### Does IPL hurt? Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap. Cooling technology is used throughout the treatment for comfort. ### What happens to dark spots after treatment? Pigmented spots typically darken immediately after treatment, then naturally flake off over 7-14 days, revealing clearer skin underneath. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/laser-hair-removal # Laser Hair Removal Permanent Hair Reduction - Advanced Laser Technology Say goodbye to the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and plucking. Laser hair removal at Thrive! MedAesthetics offers a permanent solution for unwanted hair using advanced laser technology that targets hair at the root. Our experienced technicians deliver comfortable, effective treatments that leave your skin silky smooth. Whether you want to treat a small area like your upper lip or larger zones like your legs or back, our laser hair removal treatments are safe, efficient, and deliver long-lasting results. ## What Is Laser Hair Removal? Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The light converts to heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting its ability to produce new hair. Over a series of treatments, the hair grows back finer and lighter until it eventually stops growing altogether. The treatment selectively targets the hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Multiple sessions are needed because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of your skin type, hair color, and treatment areas. We'll determine the ideal laser settings and number of sessions needed. - Preparation: Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, waxing, and plucking for 6 weeks prior. - Treatment: The laser handpiece is passed over the area, delivering pulses of light that target hair follicles. Built-in cooling technology keeps you comfortable. - Post-Treatment: Mild redness similar to a sunburn is normal and resolves within hours. You can resume normal activities immediately. - Hair Falls Out: Treated hairs fall out over 2-3 weeks. You'll notice progressively less hair after each session. - Maintenance: 6-8 sessions spaced 6-12 weeks apart provide optimal results. Annual touch-ups may be needed for maintenance. ## Benefits - Permanent hair reduction - Treats virtually any body area - No more shaving, waxing, or plucking - Fast and efficient sessions - Built-in cooling for comfort - Progressive results with each session - Smoother, bump-free skin - Cost-effective long-term solution - Safe for most skin types - Eliminates ingrown hairs ## Treatment Areas - Upper Lip - Chin - Full Face - Underarms - Bikini Line - Full Brazilian - Arms - Legs - Back - Chest - Abdomen - Neck ## Pricing Starting at $50/session ## FAQs ### How many sessions do I need? Most body areas need 6-8 sessions spaced 8-12 weeks apart. Facial hair often needs 8-12 sessions. ### Does it hurt? Virtually painless in most areas. Our laser features built-in cooling technology that keeps you comfortable throughout treatment. ### Does it work on all skin tones? Our advanced laser technology can be safely adjusted for various skin types and tones. We'll determine the best approach during your consultation. ### Is the hair removal permanent? Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction over a full series of treatments. Lasers can remove the hair of today, but cannot prevent the development of new hair (such as with hormonal changes). New hair growth over time can be treated with follow-up sessions. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/co2-resurfacing # CO2 Laser Resurfacing Fractional CO2 Laser - Dramatic Skin Renewal CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful skin rejuvenation treatments available - delivering dramatic improvement in wrinkles, scars, texture, and overall skin quality.

This treatment is ideal for patients seeking significant improvement in deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and skin laxity who are willing to invest in a recovery period for transformative results. ## What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing? Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing works by creating thousands of tiny, deep columns of thermal damage in the skin (microthermal zones) while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This triggers an intense wound-healing response that produces new collagen, tightens existing collagen fibers, and replaces damaged skin with fresh, healthy tissue. The fractional approach dramatically reduces downtime compared to traditional full-field CO2 lasers while still delivering remarkable results. ## How It Works - Consultation: Thorough skin assessment and discussion of goals, downtime expectations, and pre-treatment preparation. - Pre-Treatment: For certain skin types and conditions, a prescription skincare regimen may be started 2-4 weeks before treatment to optimize results and healing. - Treatment Day: Topical numbing is applied for 45-60 minutes. The CO2 laser is then precisely applied to the treatment area. - Recovery: Expect 5-7 days of significant redness and swelling, followed by peeling. Full recovery takes 2-3 weeks. - Results: With 2-4 sessions, most patients see dramatic improvement in skin texture, wrinkles, and scars. Results continue to improve for 3-6 months as new collagen forms. ## Benefits - Dramatic reduction in deep wrinkles - Significantly improves acne scars - Tightens and firms loose skin - Evens out skin tone and texture - Stimulates significant collagen production - Addresses sun damage and age spots - Long-lasting results (years) - Can treat face, neck, and chest ## Pricing Starting at $1,000 ## FAQs ### How long do results last? Results from CO2 resurfacing can last several years. Proper sun protection and skincare help maintain your results long-term. ### Is CO2 resurfacing painful? Topical numbing cream is applied for 45-60 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable warmth and tingling. ### Can I combine CO2 with other treatments? CO2 resurfacing can be combined with injectables and other treatments, though timing is important. Our team will create an optimal treatment sequence. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/vascular-laser # Vascular Laser (LP YAG/IPL) Vascular Laser - Spider Veins & Broken Capillaries Vascular laser treatments target unwanted blood vessels - spider veins, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, and rosacea-related redness - using precise laser energy that causes the vessels to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we use advanced LP YAG and IPL technology to safely and effectively treat vascular concerns on the face and body with minimal discomfort and downtime. ## What Is Vascular Laser Treatment? Vascular laser treatment uses targeted light energy that is specifically absorbed by hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood). When the laser energy is absorbed, it heats and damages the walls of the targeted blood vessels, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Over the following weeks, the body naturally absorbs the treated vessels and they fade from view. The surrounding skin and tissue remain unharmed. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of your vascular concerns and determination of the best laser approach for your specific vessels. - Treatment: The laser is precisely targeted at visible vessels. You'll feel a warm snapping sensation with each pulse. - Post-Treatment: Treated vessels may appear darker initially. Some bruising is possible. The area may feel warm for a few hours. - Results: Vessels gradually fade over 2-6 weeks as the body absorbs them. Multiple sessions may be needed for complete clearance. ## Benefits - Eliminates spider veins and broken capillaries - Treats facial redness and rosacea - Removes cherry angiomas - Precise targeting of individual vessels - Minimal discomfort - No incisions or scarring - Quick treatment sessions - Progressive clearance with each session ## Treatment Areas - Face - Nose - Cheeks - Legs - Chest - Neck ## Pricing Starting at $250/session ## FAQs ### How many treatments do I need? Most patients see significant improvement in 1-3 sessions. The number depends on the size, depth, and quantity of vessels being treated. ### Is it painful? Most patients describe a warm snapping sensation. The treatment is brief and well-tolerated. ### Can spider veins come back? Treated vessels are permanently destroyed. However, new vessels can develop over time due to aging, sun exposure, or genetics. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/tattoo-removal # Laser Tattoo Reduction Q-Switched Laser - Safe, Effective Tattoo Removal Ready to remove or fade an unwanted tattoo? At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we use advanced Q-switched laser technology to safely break down tattoo ink particles, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time. Our team delivers safe, effective treatments. Our laser can treat a wide range of ink colors and is suitable for various skin types. Results improve with each session as more ink is broken down and cleared. ## How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work? Laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses of high-intensity light energy to shatter tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. The Q-switched laser delivers energy so rapidly that it creates a photoacoustic effect - essentially shattering the ink into tiny fragments. These fragments are then recognized by your immune system and gradually flushed away through natural processes. Different wavelengths target different ink colors, which is why multiple treatment parameters may be used during a single session. ## How It Works - Consultation: Assessment of your tattoo (size, color, age, location, skin type) to create a realistic treatment plan and timeline. - Treatment: The laser delivers rapid pulses of energy targeted at the tattoo ink. You'll feel a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band. - Post-Treatment: The treated area may blister, scab, or appear frosty white immediately after. This is a normal healing response. - Healing: The area heals over 4-6 weeks. Your immune system gradually clears the shattered ink particles. - Progressive Fading: Each session fades the tattoo further. Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions. ## Benefits - Safe, effective ink removal - Progressive fading with each session - Non-invasive treatment - Suitable for various skin types - Advanced Q-switched technology - Minimal scarring risk when performed by experts ## Pricing Starting at $200/session ## FAQs ### How many sessions will I need? Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions. Factors affecting treatment include ink color, depth, tattoo age, and your immune response. ### Is tattoo removal painful? Patients describe it as a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band. Numbing options are available for sensitive areas. ### Will my tattoo be completely removed? Most tattoos can be significantly faded or removed. Black ink responds best. Some colors (especially green and blue) may require more sessions. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/prp-therapy # PRP/PRF Therapy Platelet-Rich Plasma - Your Body's Own Healing Power PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy harnesses your body's own healing power to rejuvenate skin, restore hair growth, and accelerate tissue repair. By concentrating the growth factors found in your own blood, PRP stimulates collagen production, cell renewal, and natural regeneration. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, PRP is used as a standalone treatment or combined with microneedling, fillers, and other procedures to enhance and extend results. ## What Is PRP Therapy? PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets - the cells packed with growth factors that drive tissue repair and regeneration. This concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied to the treatment area. The growth factors stimulate stem cells, boost collagen and elastin production, improve blood flow, and accelerate your body's natural healing processes. ## How It Works - Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. - Processing: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma. - Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed. Numbing cream is optional for increased comfort. - Application: PRP is injected into the skin or applied topically in conjunction with microneedling, depending on the treatment plan. - Results: Improvements develop gradually over a series of 3-6 sessions as collagen regeneration occurs. ## Benefits - Uses your body's own growth factors - Stimulates natural collagen production - Improves skin texture and tone - Reduces fine lines and wrinkles - Promotes hair regrowth - Accelerates healing and recovery - No risk of allergic reaction - Can be combined with other treatments - Natural, gradual results - Minimal downtime ## Treatment Areas - Full Face - Under Eyes - Neck - Décolletage - Scalp (Hair Restoration) - Hands ## Pricing Starting at $695 ## FAQs ### Is PRP safe? PRP is extremely safe since it uses your own blood. There is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or infection when performed in a sterile clinical environment. ### How many PRP treatments do I need? A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results. ### When will I see results? For skin rejuvenation, results develop over 3-6 months. For hair restoration, new growth is typically visible within 3-4 months. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/microneedling-prp-prf # Microneedling with Procell Procell Tissue Stimulation - Accelerated Skin Renewal Microneedling with Procell combines the collagen-stimulating power of microneedling with advanced Procell tissue stimulation technology. This powerful combination accelerates skin renewal, improves texture and tone, reduces acne scars, and creates a natural, youthful glow. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, this is one of our most popular treatments for patients seeking significant improvement in skin quality without the downtime of laser resurfacing. ## What Is Microneedling with Procell? Microneedling uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin. When combined with Procell - a proprietary blend of growth factors and stem cell cytokines applied during microneedling - the regenerative response is dramatically amplified, delivering visible improvement in skin texture, tone, and clarity. ## How It Works - Preparation: Topical numbing cream is applied for 30-45 minutes to ensure comfort during the procedure. - Microneedling: The microneedling device creates tiny channels in the skin while Procell growth factors and stem cell cytokines are applied topically, allowing deep penetration. - Procell Application: Additional Procell serum is massaged into the skin after microneedling for maximum absorption. - Recovery: Skin will appear pink/red for 24-48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities the next day with mineral makeup. ## Benefits - Significantly improves skin texture - Reduces acne scars - Stimulates robust collagen production - Growth factors enhance healing and results - Minimizes pore size - Improves fine lines and wrinkles - Brightens dull skin - Minimal downtime (1-2 days) - Safe for all skin types - Natural, progressive results ## Treatment Areas - Full Face - Neck - Décolletage - Acne Scars - Scalp ## Pricing Starting at $300 ## FAQs ### How many sessions do I need? A series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart provides optimal results. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months. ### What's the downtime? Skin will be pink/red for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients can wear mineral makeup the next day. ### Is microneedling with Procell better than microneedling alone? Yes! Adding Procell significantly enhances results by delivering concentrated growth factors and stem cell cytokines deep into the skin through the micro-channels created during treatment. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/stem-cells # Stem Cells & Secretomes Cutting-Edge Regenerative Medicine - Future of Anti-Aging Stem cell and secretome therapy represents the cutting edge of regenerative medicine. These advanced treatments harness the power of growth factors, exosomes, and cellular signaling molecules to stimulate profound tissue repair and rejuvenation. At Thrive! MedAesthetics, we offer these next-generation treatments for patients seeking the most advanced approaches to skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and anti-aging medicine. ## What Are Stem Cells & Secretomes? Secretomes are the collection of bioactive molecules secreted by stem cells - including growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes. These signaling molecules communicate with your body's cells, instructing them to repair, regenerate, and rejuvenate. Unlike traditional stem cell therapy, secretome treatments use these powerful signaling molecules without the cells themselves, offering a safe, effective way to harness regenerative potential. ## How It Works - Consultation: Discussion of your rejuvenation goals and assessment of whether stem cell/secretome therapy is the right approach. - Treatment Planning: A personalized protocol is created based on your specific concerns - skin, hair, or overall rejuvenation. - Application: Secretomes and growth factors are delivered via injection or in combination with microneedling for optimal penetration. - Results: Regenerative effects develop over weeks to months as cellular repair and collagen production are stimulated. ## Benefits - Most advanced regenerative technology - Stimulates profound tissue repair - Powerful anti-aging effects - Promotes hair regrowth - Enhances skin quality and elasticity - Can be combined with other treatments - Harnesses natural cellular communication - Progressive, long-lasting results ## Pricing Consultation required ## FAQs ### Are stem cell treatments safe? The secretome-based treatments we use are safe and well-studied. They use bioactive molecules rather than live cells, eliminating many concerns associated with traditional stem cell therapy. ### How is this different from PRP? While PRP uses your own growth factors, secretome therapy provides a much broader range of regenerative signaling molecules, including exosomes that can communicate with and reprogram aging cells. ## Book a Consultation Call (289) 338-5916 or book online at https://thriveaurora.myaestheticrecord.com/online-booking --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/b-pulse-women # B-Pulse for Women Electromagnetic Pelvic Floor Therapy - Non-Invasive Wellness B-Pulse is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

Occasional maintenance may be needed. ### Can stretch marks be fully removed? While stretch marks cannot be completely eliminated, their appearance can be significantly reduced with fractional laser resurfacing. Newer stretch marks respond especially well. # ═══ Conditions ═══ --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/acne-scarring # Acne Scarring Many people develop changes in their skin after bouts with acne. The residual impact to the skin may include both coloured markings (purple, red or brown) and textural changes (scars, large pores). We have a few options for you to consider in your personalized treatment plan. ## For Colored Markings Chemical peels and photofacials can help reduce the purple, red, or brown discoloration left behind after acne. ## For Texture Changes Microneedling with Procell, Clearlift laser, and fractional laser resurfacing can help improve skin texture, reduce scarring, and shrink large pores. ## Treatment Options - Chemical Peels - Photofacial & Photobody (IPL) - Microneedling with Procell - ClearLift Laser - CO2 Resurfacing ## FAQs ### What causes acne scarring? Acne scarring occurs when inflamed acne lesions damage the skin's collagen. The body's healing process can produce either too much or too little collagen, resulting in raised or depressed scars. Picking or squeezing acne increases the risk of scarring. ### How can I treat the colored marks from acne scars? Chemical peels and photofacials (IPL) are effective at reducing the purple, red, and brown discoloration left by acne. These treatments target pigment in the skin and promote cell turnover for a more even complexion. ### Which treatment is best for improving skin texture after acne? Microneedling with Procell is excellent for textural improvements, stimulating collagen production to fill in scars. Clearlift laser and fractional CO2 resurfacing are also highly effective for deeper scars and pore refinement. ### How many sessions are needed to see results? Most patients see improvement after 3-6 sessions, depending on the severity of scarring and the treatment chosen. Results are cumulative, with skin continuing to improve between sessions as collagen remodels. ### Are these treatments safe for all skin types? Yes, we offer treatments suitable for various skin types. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific skin type and concerns. ### What can I expect during and after treatment? Most treatments involve minimal downtime. You may experience redness and mild swelling for a day or two. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results and protect your skin during healing. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/active-acne # Active Acne Acne can affect you at any stage of life.

Botulinum toxin injections (Botox) can be an effective treatment for focal hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms. Botox blocks the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, providing temporary relief for several months. Some health plans will cover the cost of the medication. And, as this is considered a medical condition, you can keep your receipts to submit to your accountant at tax time as a medical expense. ## Treatment Options - Botox & Xeomin - Medical Botox for hyperhidrosis ## FAQs ### What is excessive sweating, and how is it different from regular sweating? Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, occurs when you sweat more than is necessary to regulate your body temperature. It can occur in specific areas like underarms, hands, feet, or face and is often not triggered by heat or physical activity. ### How does Botox® help with excessive sweating? Botox® blocks nerve signals that trigger sweat glands in the treated areas. The injections target sweat glands in areas like the underarms, and results typically last several months. ### Are Botox® treatments for excessive sweating painful? The injections are generally well-tolerated using very fine needles. Mild discomfort may be experienced, but the procedure is quick and requires no downtime. ### How long do the results last? The effects typically last around 2 to 6 months. As the treatment wears off, you may schedule a follow-up session. ### Does my insurance cover Botox® for excessive sweating? Some health insurance plans may cover Botox® injections for hyperhidrosis if it's considered a medical necessity. Since this is a medical condition, you may also submit receipts as a tax-deductible medical expense. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/flushing # Facial Flushing & Redness Flushing refers to the temporary or persistent redness of the skin, typically affecting the face and neck. This condition can result from various underlying causes and may present as redness due to Rosacea, visible capillaries, or Telangiectasias (spider veins). Treatments aim to reduce redness, improve skin appearance, and boost confidence. ## Rosacea A chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It may also cause burning sensations and thickened skin in severe cases. ## Visible Capillaries Small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin, often appearing on the face. They can be caused by sun damage, aging, or genetic predisposition. ## Telangiectasias Spider veins on the face or body, often resulting from chronic sun exposure, hormonal changes, or rosacea. ## Treatment Options - Photofacial & Photobody (IPL) - Vascular Laser (LP YAG/IPL) - Medical Grade Skin Care ## FAQs ### What causes facial flushing? Flushing can be caused by rosacea, sun damage, hormonal changes, alcohol, spicy foods, temperature changes, and certain medications. Some people are genetically predisposed to flushing. ### Can flushing be permanently treated? While underlying conditions like rosacea can't be cured, the visible symptoms-redness, broken capillaries, and spider veins-can be significantly reduced with IPL photofacials and vascular laser treatments. ### What is the best treatment for rosacea? IPL photofacials and vascular laser treatments are highly effective for rosacea. They target the blood vessels causing redness without damaging surrounding skin. Medical-grade skincare helps manage symptoms between treatments. ### How many treatment sessions are needed? Most patients see improvement after 2-4 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to manage ongoing symptoms. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/pelvic-intimate-health-women # Pelvic and Intimate Health for Women Sexual dysfunction and loss of sexual enjoyment or ability is a common concern, and understanding and addressing these issues are essential for overall well-being.

The procedure is sought after by individuals of various ages and backgrounds for the removal or reduction of unwanted body and facial hair. Women often seek laser hair removal for common areas such as the legs, underarms, bikini line, as well as facial hair. Men commonly treat the back, chest, and shoulders. For trans individuals, laser hair removal supports their gender affirmation journey. ## Treatment Options - Laser Hair Removal ## FAQs ### How does laser hair removal work? Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles. The pigment in the follicle absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and inhibits future growth. Multiple sessions are needed as hair grows in cycles. ### Is laser hair removal permanent? Laser hair removal provides long-term reduction. Most patients experience 70-90% permanent reduction after a full course of treatments. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed. ### How many sessions are typically needed? Most patients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and hair type. Some areas may require additional sessions. ### Is the treatment painful? Modern laser technology has made treatments much more comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling. We use cooling technology to minimize discomfort. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/incontinence # Incontinence (Women & Men) Urinary incontinence is a common condition affecting both women and men, particularly as we age. It can be caused by childbirth, menopause, prostate issues, or general pelvic floor weakness. Bladder leakage during activities, exercise, sneezing, or coughing can significantly impact quality of life and confidence. Our non-invasive B-Pulse electromagnetic chair strengthens the pelvic floor muscles equivalent to thousands of Kegel exercises per session, providing significant improvement without surgery or downtime. ## Treatment Options - B-Pulse for Women - B-Pulse for Men - FemiLift Vaginal Rejuvenation - Also helps with mild urinary incontinence ## FAQs ### What causes urinary incontinence? Incontinence can be caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles from childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, prostate issues in men, or chronic conditions. Stress incontinence (leaking during activity) and urge incontinence (sudden strong urges) are the most common types. ### How does the B-Pulse chair work? The B-Pulse uses pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions-equivalent to thousands of Kegel exercises in one session. You remain fully clothed during treatment. ### How many sessions are needed? Most patients benefit from a series of 6-8 sessions, typically twice weekly. Many notice improvement after just a few sessions, with continued strengthening over the full course. ### Is the treatment suitable for men? Yes!

Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid - when the system shifts, everything shifts with it. The woman who finds us is not looking for someone to tell her this is normal. She is looking for someone who will do something about it. For men, the decline is slower and subtler - the muscle that used to respond, the mental edge that has softened, the drive that once felt effortless. Testosterone and its companion hormones decline steadily from the mid-thirties onward, touching body composition, cognition, and vitality in ways that accumulate quietly across years. It is not inevitable. It is addressable. And the man who finds us has already decided that accepting it was never an option. ## Women's Hormone Health Perimenopause and menopause are not diseases - they are transitions. But without proper support, the symptoms can fundamentally alter quality of life. Our precision hormone protocols address the full picture: energy, sleep, weight, mood, libido, and cognitive clarity. ## Men's Hormone Health Testosterone decline is real, measurable, and treatable. When combined with thyroid, cortisol, and metabolic optimization, the results go far beyond what most men expect. Sharper thinking, better recovery, improved body composition, and restored drive. ## Treatment Options - Hormone Health - Women - Precision hormone optimization for perimenopause, menopause, and beyond - FemiLift Vaginal Rejuvenation - For vaginal dryness and laxity - O-Shot & G-Shot - For enhanced sensation and lubrication - B-Pulse for Women - For pelvic floor strengthening and incontinence - Hormone Health - Men - Testosterone and metabolic optimization for men - P-Shot - For men's sexual wellness - B-Pulse for Men - For pelvic health and erectile function support ## FAQs ### What symptoms can be treated? For women: hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, mood changes, vaginal dryness, low libido, and sleep disruption. For men: fatigue, reduced muscle mass, mental fog, low drive, erectile changes, and weight gain. ### How is this different from what my family doctor offers? We use precision testing - Precision Hormone Profile™ hormone panels, advanced thyroid evaluation, and metabolic markers - to build a complete picture. Standard bloodwork often misses the nuances that explain why you do not feel like yourself. ### When should I seek treatment? As soon as symptoms begin to impact your quality of life. Early intervention often produces better outcomes and can prevent worsening symptoms. ### Are treatments available for both men and women? Yes. We offer gender-specific hormone protocols, each built around your unique biology, goals, and test results. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/neck-chest-hand # Neck, Chest & Hand Rejuvenation The neck, décolletage and hands can sometimes be an afterthought. When we treat the face, these other areas can give our age away. The skin in these regions when compared to the facial skin, is thinner, dryer, and is subject to significant sun damage and the development of wrinkles. ## Treatment Options - Medical Grade Skin Care - Hydrabrasion Facials - Chemical Peels - Microneedling with Procell - Fillers - Photofacial & Photobody (IPL) - ClearLift Laser - CO2 Resurfacing ## FAQs ### Why do the neck, chest, and hands age faster? The skin in these areas is thinner and drier than facial skin, making it more vulnerable to sun damage and wrinkles. These areas are often neglected in skincare routines, leading to accelerated aging. ### What treatments work best for the neck? Microneedling with Procell and Clearlift laser are excellent for improving neck skin texture and firmness. Fillers can address horizontal neck lines, and chemical peels improve tone. ### Can sun damage on the chest be reversed? Yes! Photofacials (IPL) are highly effective at reducing sun spots and redness on the décolletage. Chemical peels and microneedling improve overall skin texture and tone. ### What can be done for aging hands? Fillers can restore lost volume, making veins and tendons less prominent. Photofacials reduce age spots, and medical-grade skincare helps maintain results. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/pigmentation-melasma # Melasma & Hormonal Pigmentation Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by the development of brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the face. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun is a major trigger. Hormones play a significant role-it is commonly associated with pregnancy, contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy. There is NO cure for melasma, only management. A good place to start is with your family doctor and/or medical dermatologist. ## Treatment Options - Medical Grade Skin Care - Hydrabrasion Facials - Chemical Peels ## FAQs ### What causes melasma? Melasma is primarily triggered by UV exposure and hormonal changes. Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy are common triggers. Genetics also play a role. ### Can melasma be cured? There is no cure for melasma-only management. With consistent use of sunscreen, medical-grade skincare, and professional treatments, melasma can be significantly improved and managed long-term. ### What's the difference between melasma and regular pigmentation? Melasma is specifically hormone-driven and presents as symmetrical brown/gray-brown patches, typically on the face. Regular hyperpigmentation can be from sun damage, inflammation, or injury. ### What sunscreen should I use for melasma? Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential daily, even on cloudy days. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often recommended. We carry medical-grade options at our clinic. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/pigmentation # Skin Pigmentation & Dark Spots Thrive!

If you're struggling with pigmentation concerns like sunspots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, we understand how it can affect your confidence. Our clinic is devoted to providing personalized care in a comfortable setting. ## Types of Pigmentation Pigmentation refers to skin tone and color changes, most often triggered by an overproduction or uneven distribution of melanin. Common types include sunspots (solar lentigines), melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and freckles. ## Treatment Options - Medical Grade Skin Care - Chemical Peels - Photofacial & Photobody (IPL) - ClearLift Laser - Microneedling with Procell - CO2 Resurfacing ## FAQs ### What causes pigmentation? Pigmentation is caused by overproduction of melanin, triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, medications, or genetics. UV damage is the most common cause of dark spots. ### Which treatment is best for my pigmentation? The best treatment depends on the type and depth of pigmentation. IPL photofacials work well for sunspots, while chemical peels address surface discoloration. A consultation will determine the ideal approach. ### How many sessions are needed to see results? Many patients see improvement after 1-2 sessions, but a series of 3-6 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments help prevent recurrence. ### Can pigmentation come back after treatment? Yes, without proper sun protection, pigmentation can return. Daily SPF use and medical-grade skincare are essential for maintaining results. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/skin-laxity-texture # Skin Laxity & Texture A decline in skin firmness and elasticity leads to sagging, general laxity, and an uneven skin tone often described as "crepey." Aging decreases collagen and elastin production, and hyaluronic acid levels fall, leading to drier, less plump skin. UV radiation accelerates aging, breaking down collagen and elastin. This loss of collagen, elastin, and supporting structures results in skin laxity-loosening or sagging-affecting areas like the face, neck, and body. Untreated laxity contributes to an aged appearance and impacts confidence. ## Treatment Options - Medical Grade Skin Care - Hydrabrasion Facials - Chemical Peels - Botox & Xeomin - Fillers - Microneedling with Procell - ClearLift Laser - CO2 Resurfacing - Ulthera - PRP/PRF Therapy ## FAQs ### What causes skin laxity? Skin laxity results from decreased collagen and elastin production as we age. UV damage, smoking, genetics, and hormonal changes accelerate this process, leading to sagging and crepey skin. ### What's the best treatment for sagging skin? Ulthera® uses focused ultrasound to lift and tighten skin at the deepest layers. Microneedling with Procell stimulates collagen, while Clearlift laser provides non-ablative tightening. A combination approach often yields the best results. ### Can skin laxity be treated without surgery? Absolutely. We offer multiple non-surgical options that effectively improve skin firmness, including Ulthera®, microneedling with Procell, lasers, and radiofrequency treatments. ### How long do results last? Results vary by treatment. Ulthera® results can last 1-2 years. Collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling provide progressive improvement over months. Maintenance treatments help sustain results. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/sexuality-issues-men-women # Sexuality Issues (Men & Women) Sexuality plays a significant role in the overall quality of life for individuals, influencing physical, emotional, and relational well-being. Sexual activity and a satisfying sexual life are associated with various physical health benefits including cardiovascular health, immune function, and hormonal balance. Sexual activity has been linked to the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, contributing to improved mood and reduced stress and anxiety. ## Treatment Options - B-Pulse for Women - B-Pulse for Men - FemiLift Vaginal Rejuvenation - O-Shot & G-Shot - P-Shot ## FAQs ### How can treatments improve sexual wellness? Our treatments address the physical factors affecting sexual function-pelvic floor strength, blood flow, tissue health, and sensitivity. By improving these fundamentals, patients often experience significant improvements in sexual satisfaction. ### Are these treatments suitable for both men and women? Yes. We offer the B-Pulse chair and PRP-based treatments (O-Shot/G-Shot for women, P-Shot for men) that address gender-specific concerns while improving overall sexual health. ### Is the consultation confidential? Absolutely. All consultations are conducted privately, and your concerns are treated with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism. ### Can these treatments complement my existing medical care? Yes, our treatments work alongside care from your physician. They are hormone-free and can be used with or without other medications. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/stretch-marks # Stretch Marks Stretch marks, also known as striae, are long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the skin. They often appear when the skin is rapidly stretched or when there are changes in the body that affect the skin's elasticity. Stretch marks commonly occur during periods of rapid growth, such as puberty or pregnancy, and with rapid weight gain. Intensive weightlifting or bodybuilding can also cause stretch marks. Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications can make the skin more susceptible. ## Treatment Options - CO2 Resurfacing - Fractional laser resurfacing - Photofacial (IPL) - Light-based treatment for pigmentation and texture ## FAQs ### Can stretch marks be completely removed? While stretch marks cannot be completely eliminated, their appearance can be significantly reduced with fractional laser resurfacing. Newer, red/purple stretch marks tend to respond better to treatment than older, white ones. ### How does laser treatment help with stretch marks? Fractional CO2 laser creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin remodeling. This gradually smooths the texture and reduces the visibility of stretch marks. ### How many sessions are needed? Most patients benefit from 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results are progressive, with continued improvement for several months after the final treatment. ### Is the treatment painful? We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe mild heat or tingling during the procedure. Some redness and swelling are normal afterward. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/tattoos-unwanted-body-art # Tattoo Removal With the surge of popularity of tattooing, there has been a proportionate increase in tattoo regret. While many individuals are content with their tattoos, some may experience regret and seek options for tattoo reduction or modification. Some surveys suggest that approximately 20% to 30% of individuals with tattoos express some level of regret. Laser tattoo reduction is the most common and effective method. It involves using laser technology to break down the ink particles in the skin, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them. Some ink colors may be more challenging to remove than others. ## Treatment Options - Laser Tattoo Reduction ## FAQs ### How does laser tattoo removal work? The laser delivers high-intensity light pulses that break down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments. Your body's immune system then naturally eliminates these fragments over time. ### How many sessions are needed? The number of sessions depends on the tattoo's size, color, age, and ink depth. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. ### Can all tattoo colors be removed? Black and dark blue inks respond best to laser treatment. Some colors like green and yellow can be more challenging. During your consultation, we'll assess your tattoo and set realistic expectations. ### Is tattoo removal painful? Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer comfort measures to minimize discomfort during the procedure. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/pelvic-intimate-health-men # Pelvic and Intimate Health for Men Men also develop incontinence and less powerful erections during intimacy. Health issues such as prostate cancers and prostatectomy can seriously impact on sexual performance/enjoyment and urinary issues. The B-Pulse chair can help strengthen your pelvic floor and help with night time urination/incontinence as well as benefit your intimate experience. PRP/PRF in this area can stimulate new tissue production and enhance sensitivity (known as the P-Shot). These treatments are hormone free and can be used with or without hormone replacement. ## Treatment Options - Hormone Health - Men - Precision testosterone and metabolic optimization - B-Pulse for Men - P-Shot ## FAQs ### How can the B-Pulse chair help with men's urologic issues? The B-Pulse chair strengthens pelvic floor muscles through electromagnetic stimulation. This improves urinary control, reduces nighttime urination, and can enhance erectile function-all without surgery. ### What is the P-Shot? The P-Shot (Priapus Shot) uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, injected into the penis to stimulate tissue regeneration, improve blood flow, and enhance erectile function and sensitivity. ### Are these treatments safe after prostate surgery? Yes, these treatments can be beneficial after prostate surgery. We recommend discussing your specific situation during a consultation so we can tailor the approach to your needs. ### Can these treatments be combined with other medications? Absolutely. Our treatments are hormone-free and can be used alongside other medications including PDE5 inhibitors (like Viagra/Cialis) and hormone replacement therapy. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/conditions/wrinkles # Wrinkle Reduction Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, and their development is influenced by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial movements. While it's not possible to completely prevent wrinkles, several treatments and interventions can help minimize their appearance and promote smoother, more youthful-looking skin. ## Topical Treatments Retinoids promote collagen production and enhance skin cell turnover. Antioxidants like vitamin C and E protect from oxidative stress. Peptides may stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. ## Injectable Treatments Botulinum toxin (Botox, Xeomin) temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing movement-based wrinkles. Dermal fillers add volume to areas with wrinkles. Collagen stimulators like Radiesse improve skin elasticity over time. ## Laser Resurfacing Laser resurfacing improves wrinkles by removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen induction therapy. ## Treatment Options - Medical Grade Skin Care - Hydrabrasion Facials - Chemical Peels - Botox & Xeomin - Fillers - Microneedling with Procell - ClearLift Laser - CO2 Resurfacing ## FAQs ### How can sunscreen help reduce wrinkles? Sunscreen protects from UV rays that accelerate aging and cause wrinkles. Regularly applying broad-spectrum sunscreen can minimize sun damage, prevent further wrinkle formation, and maintain youthful skin. ### How do medical-grade skincare products combat wrinkles? Medical-grade products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides that penetrate deeper into the skin, stimulating collagen and improving texture more effectively than over-the-counter products. ### What's the difference between Botox and fillers for wrinkles? Botox® relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines and crow's feet). Fillers add volume to fill in static wrinkles and restore lost volume. They work differently and are often used together for comprehensive results. ### At what age should I start wrinkle treatments? Prevention can start in your mid-20s with good skincare and sunscreen. Botox® for prevention is common in late 20s to early 30s. It's never too early to protect your skin or too late to improve it. # ═══ Service Areas ═══ --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/service-areas/richmond-hill-med-spa # Medical Aesthetics for Richmond Hill Precision medicine and expert aesthetic care come together - a short drive north on Yonge Street Richmond Hill residents deserve access to the kind of medicine that most people have to search far and wide to find - physician-led precision longevity care and expert aesthetic services that treat the whole picture, not just the part you came in for.

At Thrive!, our philosophy has always been that the best aesthetic results are the ones nobody can quite put their finger on. You look rested. Refreshed. Like yourself on a really good day. We use neuromodulators with a light, precise hand - softening what needs softening, preserving the movement and expression that make your face uniquely yours. ### Is there anything that can actually help skin laxity without surgery? More than most people realise - and the answer starts deeper than most treatments go. Skin laxity is not a surface problem. It is a structural one. The connective tissue layer underneath the skin loses tension over time, and no topical treatment can reach it. Ulthera uses focused ultrasound energy to target that foundational layer directly, stimulating your own collagen production from the inside out. We also offer our exclusive combination of Ulthera and Radiesse biostimulation - which addresses laxity from two structural depths simultaneously. A consultation with our team will help determine which approach is right for your specific picture. ### My labs are normal but I don't feel like myself. Could this be hormonal? You are not imagining it. This is one of the most common experiences our patients describe. Normal on a standard lab panel and optimal for your body are not the same thing. We start with a comprehensive hormone assessment. From there, we build a bioidentical hormone strategy entirely around you. ### I feel fine right now - is a longevity program really necessary if nothing is obviously wrong? This is exactly the right time to start - and here is why. The changes that drive how we age rarely announce themselves. Cardiovascular risk builds quietly. Cognitive decline begins decades before it becomes visible. Hormonal shifts accumulate gradually. A longevity program is not about treating a problem. It is about mapping your full biological picture precisely - before the picture changes - and building a physician-led strategy that keeps you sharp, strong, and fully yourself for every decade ahead. ### Do you offer payment plans for Richmond Hill patients? Yes. Thrive! offers flexible payment options and membership programs that make treatments more accessible. Ask our team about our VIP Membership for exclusive pricing and benefits. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/service-areas/newmarket-med-spa # Medical Aesthetics for Newmarket Precision medicine and expert aesthetic care come together - minutes away in Aurora Newmarket residents deserve access to the kind of medicine that most people have to search far and wide to find - physician-led precision longevity care and expert aesthetic services that treat the whole picture, not just the part you came in for.

Cosmetic issues at the forefront in young adults are skin care and enhancing beauty, acne control and reducing acne scars, and hair removal. This is a crucial period in which habits established can significantly impact your long-term skin health. A consistent skin care routine can be a form of self-care, contributing to positive mental well-being. Taking time for oneself and engaging in a routine that promotes healthy skin can boost confidence and self-esteem. Skin care is not only about preventing issues but also about enhancing natural beauty. ## Quality Skin Care Forget overwhelming shelves at the drug store and endless pages of online scrolling. We will help you find the right products for your specific concerns. ## Quality Skin Procedures Hydrabrasion and peels help you exfoliate, glow and improve the absorption of your skin care products. ## Acne Control We have treatments to help fight acne (check out our hydrabrasion and peels along with our skin care) and to soften the appearance of scars (have a look at PRP, Clearlift laser and Photofacials). Let's get you loving your skin again! ## Hair Removal Why have the nuisance of dealing with the unwanted hair, razor burn, ingrowns, etc.? With laser hair removal, you can clear the area for a lifetime of enjoyment. Laser is faster, more comfortable and safer than ever. ## Recommended Treatments - Medical Grade Skin Care - Hydrabrasion Facials - Chemical Peels - Microneedling with Procell - Fillers - Photofacial & Photobody (IPL) - ClearLift Laser - CO2 Resurfacing ## FAQs ### What are the best skincare treatments for young adults? The best treatments for young adults focus on maintaining clear, healthy skin while preventing future issues. Hydrabrasion facials and chemical peels help exfoliate, brighten, and improve product absorption. Acne treatments like PRP, Clearlift™ laser, and photofacials reduce breakouts and fade scars. Medical-grade skincare, including sunscreen, is essential for daily skin protection and maintenance. ### How can I prevent and treat acne effectively? Preventing and treating acne requires a combination of professional treatments and a personalized skincare routine. Hydrabrasion facials and chemical peels help clear clogged pores and improve skin texture. For persistent acne, laser treatments and PRP therapy can target inflammation and scarring. A customized skincare regimen with medical-grade products ensures long-term acne management. ### Is laser hair removal safe for young adults? Laser hair removal is safe and highly effective for young adults. It's an excellent alternative to shaving and waxing, helping to eliminate ingrown hairs, razor burns, and the hassle of frequent hair removal. Modern laser technology ensures fast, comfortable, and long-lasting results. Starting early can provide smooth skin for years to come. ### Should young adults consider cosmetic treatments like fillers? While most young adults don't require fillers for anti-aging, they can be used to enhance natural features, such as subtle lip augmentation or correcting minor asymmetries. When performed by skilled professionals, fillers provide natural-looking results without overdoing it. A consultation can determine if this treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals. ### How do medical-grade skincare products differ from drugstore brands? Medical-grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and are formulated for better penetration into the skin. Unlike drugstore brands, these products undergo rigorous testing and are recommended by skincare professionals based on your unique needs. They deliver more noticeable and long-term improvements in skin health. ### How often should I get professional skincare treatments? The frequency of skincare treatments depends on your skin type and concerns. Hydrabrasion facials and chemical peels can be done monthly for maintenance, while more intensive procedures like microneedling, PRP, or laser treatments may be spaced out every few months. A skincare consultation will help create a personalized treatment plan for optimal results. --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/services/age/20s-and-30s # Preventative Skincare & Anti-Aging for Your 20s & 30s In your 20's and 30's, life is busy and time is precious.

This program addresses physical and emotional challenges of aging. It focuses on low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy, and loss of muscle mass. With treatments like BHRT, the P-Shot®, and B-Pulse pelvic floor strengthening, we help you regain vitality and confidence. ### How does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy work? BHRT uses hormones identical to those produced naturally by the body to correct hormonal imbalance. It can treat low testosterone levels, improving energy, libido, and muscle mass. ### How does the P-Shot® improve erectile function? The P-Shot® uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration. By injecting PRP into targeted areas, blood flow improves and new tissue is generated. Many men report enhanced function, greater sensitivity, and improved performance. ### Are B-Pulse treatments painful? B-Pulse treatments are noninvasive and generally painless. They use focused electromagnetic energy to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. You simply sit comfortably while the technology delivers thousands of contractions. ### Who is an ideal candidate? Men with age-related concerns such as low energy, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, or decreased stamina. Whether in your 30s or 60s, this program helps restore vitality. ### How long does it take to see results? Results vary. Some men report increased energy within weeks of starting BHRT. The P-Shot® may take a few weeks for improvements, while B-Pulse typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. # ═══ Legal ═══ --- Source: https://thriveaurora.com/privacy-policy # Privacy Policy PRIVACY POLICY Last updated May 26, 2025 This Privacy Notice for Thrive!

DISPUTE RESOLUTION Informal Negotiations To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. Binding Arbitration Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the International Commercial Arbitration Court under the European Arbitration Chamber (Belgium, Brussels, Avenue Louise, 146) according to the Rules of this ICAC, which, as a result of referring to it, is considered as the part of this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The seat, or legal place, or arbitration shall be Aurora, Canada. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be substantive law of Canada. Restrictions The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. 14.

MedAesthetics + Wellness Ltd ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://dramberbocknek.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. What are cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Thrive! MedAesthetics + Wellness Ltd) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. Why do we use cookies? We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects? Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content. Do you serve targeted advertising? Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.
