Age gracefully? Forget it. Things have changed since the days of Joan Rivers' botched facelifts. Our aging will be done slowly and smugly.
That's why we were first in line at the new Montreal Anti-Aging Institute. Inside a refurbished loft with exposed brick and wooden beams, the Institute already attracts the city's hottest personalities.
Resident beauty guru Johan Yvon has brought "No-Needle Mesotherapy" to Montreal from Barcelona. He's a whiz with the mesotherapy machine (just over $100/treatment), which uses electrical currents to achieve deep penetration of skincare products that fight cellulite, combat wrinkles, fade stretch marks, tighten skin or fade brown spots. The best part? It's pain free, with no injections, downtime or bruising.
Other must-have weapons in the anti-aging war include Dermaquest's Peptide Mobilizer ($188), which has a Botox-like effect, and the fantastic ZinClear Tinted SPF 30 ($50), the best sunblock on the market. For eyes, the exclusive Power Patch system is a take-home kit of five treatments ($200) targeting either dark circles or wrinkles. And we dove for the last Anti Aging Kit ($124) because we loved the variety of travel-size products. (The battle for younger skin doesn't stop on foreign soil.)
With an arsenal like this, we're happily celebrating our birthday (even if it's for the same age each time...).
