Read MoreI’ve been using laser technology in my dermatology practice since the mid-1980’s and needless to say that I’ve pretty much seen and played with them all. My husband and I pooled our savings together to buy our first laser. It was this massive, hugely expensive machine but we felt it was worth the investment to be able to treat port wine stains and other vascular lesions. We now currently have about 20 different light-based systems in my practice, Laserderm TM, in Ottawa. They all offer a different type of precision and tailored results so I love that we can offer our patients the perfect customized solution for their needs. With that being said, here are some of my favourites based on your age range.

The teens and tweens of this generation are probably the most educated when it comes to skincare and beauty of any generation. I had a Clinique make-up counter as my first attempt at any kind of routine. This generation has daily Youtube how-to make up videos and shelfies to learn anything they could want. They are also incredibly ingredient conscious and altruistic when it comes to their environmental footprint.
When you add in typical skincare concerns like teenage acne, it's quite the set of criteria to build a clean, vegan and cruelty free but also effective yet simple skincare routine. Woof. However, I bet a lot of parents would kill to have a similar skincare routine. Believe it or not, there is room for you as a parent to make suggestions that your discerning teenager will appreciate and maybe even a couple of items you can share with them. Yay! A true win for all.
