BOTOX BIOLOGY LESSON | Why yours may fade faster than your friend’s…Your body doesn’t just “hold” neuromodulators; it processes them. Muscle strength, how expressive you are when you speak, activity level, stress, sleep, hormones, and whether this is your first treatment all influence how long results last. If you work out frequently or have a fast metabolism, it’s common to notice botox wearing off sooner.

Then there’s the product used, which also matters. Different neuromodulators behave slightly differently, and some simply last longer for certain people. What isn’t the answer? More units or overtreating. Longevity comes from thoughtful placement, appropriate dosing, choosing the right product for your muscle patterns, and spacing treatments properly. And while true botox resistance can happen, it’s rare (estimated in fewer than 1.5% of patients and @drkalebfalk 🫡).
Botox works on muscle, but skin quality is the environment. Treatments like RF microneedling with Sylfirm help rebuild collagen and cellular signaling, supporting healthier skin between your neuromodulator visits. Booking availability with me coming soon!

DO NOT BOOK WITH ME | If you have the urge for a dramatic change (first off, I get it💁‍♀️), please do not book in with me—go see your hairstylist instead. Though now that I’m thinking about it, I’m pretty sure my hair friends may hate that advice (@xposesalonrachelle @erin.xposesalon @itsjaimemarie)? So, maybe sleep on it. The point is that while cosmetic injections can create a DRAMATIC shift in confidence, the transformation is not intended to be dramatic. Results with me are intentionally undetectable. You will not (and should not) wake up the next day looking like a new person. Where will I see you next? @xposesalon @selflove.langley @parksville.wellness.collective @clinic5collective

BOOKINGS ARE OPEN | I’ve been impatiently waiting to share this. If you know me, you know I do not introduce treatments lightly. I research them, test them, and trial them on myself before they ever reach my patients. Sylfirm X PDRN VAMP™ impressed me. Next-generation pulsed RF microneedling that can target pigment and vascular concerns paired with regenerative PDRN to intentionally guide collagen remodeling.

Only available in Parksville, but open to any of my patients who’d like to see me there. The full nerdy scientific breakdown is live on my site now.

BANKING YOUR COLLEGEN | Did you know that by our mid-30s, we lose about 1% of our collagen each year? As estrogen begins to fluctuate (often years before periods change), collagen breakdown speeds up, skin becomes thinner, and recovery slows. Treatments like Sculptra® work by stimulating your body’s own collagen over time, helping support skin structure while it’s still responsive rather than waiting until loss is advanced. Supporting tissue health early often means better resilience, better healing, and fewer issues down the line. Questions? I’d love to talk Sculptra® with you, book in at any of my locations:@xposesalon @selflove.langley @parksville.wellness.collective @clinic5collective

CAN WE STOP DOING THIS? | Let’s stop dismissing how women feel and stop questioning what women know about their own bodies.

For generations, women have been told they’re overreacting, too sensitive, or even “hysterical” when they describe discomfort, fatigue, changes in their skin, mood, or sense of self. Instead of being listened to, they’re often encouraged to normalize feeling unwell, push through it, or accept it as “just part of being a woman.”

But if something affects how you feel every day, it matters. And wanting support for that — whether it’s internal, external, or both — is okay. Choosing cosmetic injections to support confidence isn’t vain, and choosing to age without them is just as valid. There’s no one “right” way to move through womanhood.

As a Naturopathic Doctor (and cosmetic injector), my mission is to offer thoughtful, evidence-based care that respects your experience and supports your body through real transitions. There’s nothing superficial about wanting to feel well, confident, and at home in your body. If this resonates, you’re in the right place. And if you’re looking for science-backed support through hormonal changes and perimenopause, follow my dedicated page @dr.heatheriverson.nd and join email list to get on the waitlist.

ON THE NEUROMODULATORS MENU | Yes, we all use the term botox, but that’s actually just one brand of neuromodulator. Each one behaves a little differently and injectors and patients alike tend to have preferences on which to use. These are the three I tend to use with my patients:
Botox Cosmetic® — The classic. Precise and ideal when controlled placement matters
Dysport® — Kicks in faster and diffuses over larger areas (great for the forehead!)
Nuceiva® – Often loved for how natural it looks and feels

WHAT MOST INJECTORS DON’T TELL YOU | If you’re unhappy with your botox results, timing matters. In general, your window to assess whether a touch-up is needed is around the 2–3 week mark, once results have fully settled. Coming in too soon means results aren’t fully visible; waiting until much later—closer to when neuromodulators typically wear off—can sometimes throw off balance as different areas fade at different times. This is why I take an individualized approach to neuromodulator timing. While there are general guidelines, real life, muscle activity, and upcoming plans sometimes mean adjusting timing slightly—and in certain cases, treating a bit earlier can still be appropriate. More frequent botox doesn’t mean better botox; proper assessment and precise placement of units matter far more. If it’s too soon, I’ll tell you. If this post made you start doing the mental math… hi 👋 it might be time to come see me.

THE REVEAL 👀 | Some of your guesses had me cackling, but they were (for the most part) incorrect. Here`s exactly what I had done in between the before and after:
• 0.9 ml Revanesse® Kiss™ in my lips
•1.2 ml of Revanesse® Ultra™+ to soften my nasolabial folds
• 0.4 ml of Redensity® II placed in the upper lip “shadow” area to soften vertical lines

This transformation was important for me to share because so many of you have come to me for help with vertical upper lip lines in the past and I`ve turned you away (sorry, not sorry). Redensity® II has been proving clinically to treat this tricky area and I`ve been loving the results that I`ve achieved personally and with a handful of patients so far. Previously, the filler formulas used to treat this area were simply TOO HEAVY and caused strange results. Redensity® II is lighter and more flexible, allowing fine lines to soften while keeping movement natural. Results typically last around 6 months. So no, I didn`t have my cheeks done (thank you contour sticks!), and thank you for all your guesses!

Melatonin has helped me at times and especially with falling asleep.
But when my sleep stayed restless or unrefreshing, I had to look further.
That’s what this carousel is about. Melatonin is a signal, not the whole system. Hormones, iron status, stress, and circadian rhythm all influence whether that signal actually lands.
Sleep in perimenopause is rarely about one supplement — it’s about understanding the bigger picture.

Has melatonin helped you? Or left you confused?

This isn’t about crushing workouts.
It’s about doing what actually fits in this season of life.

Short. Focused. Repeatable.

Strength/resistance training in perimenopause isn’t optional, it’s protective.
For muscles, bones, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health and mobility.

If this looks doable… that’s the point ☝️

Let’s share ideas! What works for you??? Comment below 👇

I think most of us have dabbled with Melatonin 😉
But it’s actually the end of a much bigger pathway.

Meaning… there’s more to the story.
-Hormones
-Iron status (guilty!)
-Stress (cortisol)
-Circadian rhythm
-Genetics
All influence how well our body makes and responds to melatonin.

Shout-out to my friend Morgan @feed.your.genes for the work she’s done for me and in helping her patients personalize nutrition, lifestyle and exercise through a genetic lens !!

Does melatonin work for you?

Great if it does! But it’s very common that it won’t.
Sleep in perimenopause is about the whole system, not just what we take at night. I’m on a journey to really explain and understand all the pieces to the puzzle !

Sleep issues can be the most frustrating thing 😫 I know because I’ve been there as well.

I’ve chosen to dive into the most common issues as we are approaching “midlife” (yes, I said midlife 😬) and entering our perimenopause journey!

I’m hoping to address some common issues and help you troubleshoot some reasons behind sleep struggles to give you back that rest you deserve 💤

Sleep disruption is one of the most common concerns I hear from women in perimenopause. Over the next week or so, I’m going to cover the most common sleep issues women experience and simplify why they happen.

This isn’t about “trying harder” or better sleep hygiene alone. It’s about understanding hormones, neurotransmitters, vitamins, minerals and how they all interconnect and change across a women’s cycle.

Save this and follow along if your sleep has felt off lately-or tag a friend who could benefit too!

Not gonna lie… I’ve been off my routine lately 🙋‍♀️
And then I remembered: perimenopause is not the time to ghost your dumbbells.

🦴 Quick bone facts we don’t talk about enough:

☑️ Women reach our peak bone density around the age of 20
☑️ Bone loss can begin in early perimenopause but accelerates during the later years
☑️ Women can lose up to 20% of bone density in the years around menopause (50-54)

🏋️ Strength training is one of the most effective ways to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk

This isn’t about aesthetics.
It’s about staying strong, steady, and independent for decades.
Posting this because if I needed the reminder… maybe you did too ????

“YOU’RE FINE. JUST POWER THROUGH”
I saw it twice this morning.
Two women, one perimenopausal and one postmenopausal, both saying the same thing: “I’m scared to bring it up with my doctor. I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining.”

This isn’t rare. Women are still being told to “power through,” or that their symptoms are “just stress” or “normal for your age.”

But we deserve better care and better listening.

Every time I hear these stories, it fuels my passion to help women be heard, supported, and empowered to understand what’s actually happening in their bodies.

The conversations happening behind the treatment room door are changing and I’m listening.
Women want to feel good in their skin and in their bodies.
And I’m here for all of it.

Follow along at @drheatheriverson for how I support women from the outside, and here for everything happening on the inside. 🤍
