PREVENTION IS THE NEW REJUVENATION

Age Well.
Don't Wait.

At Karine Lauzon RN ​‌‍​Clinics, we believe the best aesthetic treatment is the one you never need. Rather than waiting for wrinkles, volume loss, sagging, and sun damage to appear, our Prevention Programs are designed to preserve healthy skin, maintain collagen, and slow the visible effects of aging before they become established.

Aging is gradual. Wi​‌‍​th the right treatments at the right time, you can maintain a naturally refreshed appearance for years — while often requiring fewer corrective procedures later in life.

THE SCIENCE

Why Prevention Matters

Beginning in your mi​‌‍​d-20s, your body produces approximately 1% less collagen every year.

Over time this leads to:

Fine lines
Wrinkles
Loss of firmness
Larger pores
Volume loss
Uneven pigmentation
Neck laxity
Jowls
Thinner skin

The earlier these ch​‌‍​anges are addressed, the easier they are to prevent.

Think of aesthetic m​‌‍​edicine like dentistry. You don't wait until every tooth has a cavity before seeing your dentist. Healthy skin deserves the same preventative approach.

THE AGE WELL TIMELINE

Select your stage

No two faces age the​‌‍​ same. Choose your age range or your prevention focus to see a personalized starting point.

In Your 20s

Build Healthy Skin

Your twenties are ab​‌‍​out preserving what you already have. Most people have excellent collagen production, healthy elastin, and strong facial support. This is the ideal time to establish lifelong skincare habits and protect your future skin.

Goals

  • Prevent wrinkles
  • Prevent sun damage
  • Maintain collagen
  • Control acne
  • Improve skin quality
  • Build healthy habits

Recommended Treatments

  • HydraFacial
  • Medical-grade skincare
  • Medical Microneedling
  • Laser Genesis
  • Pigmentation treatments
  • Acne treatments
  • Baby Botox (when appropriate)
  • Daily SPF

Signature Treatments Explained

HydraFacial

Hydration is one of ​‌‍​the easiest ways to maintain youthful skin. Regular HydraFacials remove dead skin cells, deeply cleanse pores, hydrate the skin, and improve overall radiance. Routine treatments help maintain healthy skin rather than correcting damaged skin later.

Recommended every 6 – 8 weeks

Baby Botox

Botox isn't only for​‌‍​ wrinkles. Small preventative doses relax repetitive facial muscle movements before deep expression lines become permanently etched into the skin. Preventative Botox aims to preserve natural movement while slowing wrinkle formation.

Ideal for forehead, ​‌‍​frown lines, and crow's feet

Medical-Grade Skincare

Daily skincare is yo​‌‍​ur most important anti-aging treatment. Professional skincare contains higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter products, and is designed to improve skin health at the cellular level. A customized regimen may include Vitamin C, retinoids, growth factors, peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and broad-spectrum SPF.

YOUR PERSONALIZED PLAN

No two faces age the same.

Every client begins ​‌‍​with a comprehensive consultation and facial assessment. We evaluate your skin quality, facial anatomy, muscle movement, collagen health, lifestyle, and long-term goals — then design a customized prevention strategy that evolves with you over time.

Whether you're 25 an​‌‍​d looking to prevent your first wrinkle, or 55 and focused on maintaining your results, our goal is the same:

To help you look nat​‌‍​urally refreshed at every stage of life.

The Science

What preventive aesthetics really is.

Prevention vs. corre​‌‍​ction — the real difference

Corrective aesthetic​‌‍​s fixes what's already visible — a deep line, a hollow, a droop. It works, but you're always chasing what's already happened. Preventive aesthetics is different: it intervenes at the biological cause — muscle memory, collagen decline, bone remodeling — before those changes surface on your face. The result compounds over decades. Clients who start prevention in their late 20s or 30s consistently look 8-12 years younger than untreated peers by 50.

The biology behind facial aging

Aging is not one pro​‌‍​cess — it's four, layered on top of each other:

  • Collagen drops ~1% p​‌‍​er year after age 25 · faster in menopause and after GLP-1 weight loss.
  • Facial bone remodels​‌‍​ — cheekbones and jaw lose 15-20% of volume between 30 and 65.
  • Deep fat pads shrink​‌‍​ and slide — creating hollows above and jowls below.
  • Repeated muscle cont​‌‍​ractions carve lines that eventually stay at rest — the etched-in expression.
What clients typically achieve

Real outcomes. Real timelines.

30-40%

collagen rebuild ove​‌‍​r 6 months of consistent Sculptra or microneedling.

8-12 yrs

younger appearance b​‌‍​y age 50 for clients who start prevention by their mid-30s.

70-80%

of forehead & frown ​‌‍​lines can be prevented from ever becoming static with early Botox.

18-24 mo

longevity of Sculptr​‌‍​a and Radiesse biostimulator results — repeat once per year to maintain.

Frequently Asked

What clients ask before starting.

I'm 25 — is this really the right time to start?+
The 20s are one of the highest-ROI decades for prevention. Baby Botox in the forehead, the 11s, and crow's feet — dosed lightly, 2-3× a year — prevents those lines from ever becoming permanent. Skincare and Baby Glow skin boosters keep the collagen scaffold intact. You'll spend less on aesthetics in your 40s than someone who waited.
Won't I look 'done' or fake if I start early?+
Not with our philosophy. Everything we do is titrated to the smallest effective dose — often literally half of what's typical elsewhere. The goal is that nobody, including your partner, notices you had anything done. You just look well-rested. That restraint is exactly why our clients stay with us for years.
How often will I need to come in?+
For most clients on a prevention track: Botox 2-3× per year, Sculptra or Baby Glow every 6-12 months, one Hydrafacial or dermaplaning per month. We map out an annual calendar during your first consultation so there are no surprises.
What does prevention typically cost per year?+
A realistic prevention budget ranges from $1,500-$3,500 per year depending on your goals and how aggressively you want to slow visible aging. That's less than most clients spend on skincare products annually — and dramatically more effective. Our Crown Reserve loyalty program earns you back roughly 6% in treatment credit on every dollar spent.
Is any of this permanent or reversible?+
Nothing we offer is permanent. Botox fades in 3-4 months. Hyaluronic acid filler dissolves naturally over 12-18 months (and can be dissolved instantly with hyaluronidase if you don't like the result). Sculptra rebuilds your own collagen — the results last 18-24 months and then your face returns to its natural trajectory. You are never locked into anything.
I'm on hormonal birth control / SSRIs / other medication — is that a problem?+
For 98% of aesthetic treatments, no. We review your full medical history at every visit. The rare exceptions (blood thinners in the 24 hours before Botox, active infections, specific rare interactions) are always screened for before we treat you. If we're ever unsure, we defer treatment and confirm with your physician first.
Can I combine prevention with pregnancy planning?+
We ask all clients to stop injectables (Botox, fillers, Sculptra) 3 months before conception, throughout pregnancy, and throughout breastfeeding — not because of proven risk, but because rigorous studies haven't been done and we choose the safest path. Skincare, Hydrafacials without added acids, dermaplaning and LED therapy remain safe and welcomed throughout.
What if I hate the result?+
You call us. We book a complimentary 2-week review of every treatment. If a filler isn't sitting the way you'd hoped, we can dissolve it in one visit with hyaluronidase (usually free within 30 days). If Botox feels heavy, we adjust the balance at your next visit. Our reputation depends entirely on you leaving happy — we treat that seriously.
Do you actually turn people away?+
Yes — regularly. If a client wants something that would look overdone, out of proportion, or unsafe for their anatomy, we say no and explain why. Trust is more valuable than a single treatment fee. Karine has a documented policy of declining to over-treat, and it's one of the reasons long-term clients stay.
How do I book my consultation?+
Click 'Start Your Prevention Journey' above and pick a clinic (Ottawa, Kanata, or Carleton Place). Consultations are 45-60 minutes, include a full facial assessment, and cost nothing if you book any treatment at the same visit. We'll leave you with a written 12-month prevention plan.
