“A lot of people come in asking about volume loss or skin laxity, and what they really want is stronger collagen and healthier skin from within,” says Dr. Godley.

He explains that while traditional injectables focus on short-term correction, regenerative treatments offer something we’re not as accustomed to — skin that improves over time.

“You’re not filling. You’re not freezing. You’re rebuilding.”

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a Botox-based technique that addresses this tension directly. Rather than adding volume or lifting the skin, it works by relaxing the muscles responsible for that downward pull.

We sat down with Dr. Mark Godley, medical aesthetics physician at Godley Clinic, to talk through what the treatment does, who it’s best suited for, and how it fits into a thoughtful, muscle-aware approach to facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Mark Godley was one of the first physicians to bring thread lifts to Vancouver and Abbotsford, having trained internationally where the procedure was already popular and widely performed. At the time, thread lifting was just beginning to gain traction in North America and was often misunderstood or overlooked.

Japan has always been one of my favourite places to visit. There’s something about the way precision and beauty come together in daily life that speaks to me. So when the opportunity came up for our team to return to Osaka for advanced training, I couldn’t wait!

At Godley Clinic, travel is part of how we learn. We don’t just attend conferences — we step into clinics around the world, observing, asking questions, and working side by side with experts who are refining the future of aesthetics. It’s how we grow as a team, and it’s how we bring fresh, thoughtful care back home to our patients.

What follows is a personal account from a Godley Clinic team member navigating perimenopause. While her story is her own, it reflects what we hear from women every day — and why we do what we do.

I didn’t realize my hormones were out of balance at first. Things just gradually stopped making sense — my mood, my sleep, my body. I kept trying to “fix” it with better habits, but nothing worked.

If you’ve hit your mid-50s and find yourself wondering if Botox is still “worth it,” you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not late to the party.

At 55, you likely know your face better than ever: how it moves when you laugh, the lines that have deepened with time, and the features that make you feel most like you. You’ve probably heard the horror stories: frozen faces, overdone results. It’s no wonder you’ve hesitated.

Let’s break down what Neuromodulators like Botox can actually do, and just as importantly, what it doesn’t do.

A message from Dr. Mark Godley

Not everyone wants volume, and not every face needs it. Over the years, I’ve heard from so many individuals who are looking for a lift, but hesitate when it comes to filler. They want definition, not puffiness. They want to look refreshed, not changed.

That’s why I created the Invisilift.

Is Radiesse better than Sculptra? It’s one of the most common questions patients bring to Dr. Mark Godley. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, the best option depends on your features and what you want to achieve.

Considering Surgery? These Non-Surgical Alternatives Are Trending This Summer

Surgical procedures like the Brazilian butt lift, breast implants, and hip contouring have their place — but they’re not for everyone. For those seeking a less invasive approach, treatments like the liquid BBL, vampire breast lift, and hip dip filler offer subtle, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Here’s how these non-surgical treatments compare to their surgical counterparts, and what to consider if you're thinking about your next step.

If you’re exploring hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you’ve likely come across two types: bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones. While both aim to restore hormonal balance, the difference between them is more than just science, it can influence how your body responds to treatment.

In this post, we’ll walk through the three most commonly treated areas, what 20 units might cover, when people typically start, and answers to the most frequently searched questions about Botox in BC.

The under-eye area is one of the most delicate parts of the face — and also one of the most commonly asked-about. Darkness, puffiness, fine lines, or a hollow look... it can be tough to treat, and even tougher to know what actually works.

Botox has long been a trusted treatment for smoothing wrinkles and softening expression lines — and it continues to be one of our most requested services at Godley Clinic in Abbotsford.

But Botox is just the beginning.

Since I was 20, I’ve always taken anti-aging supplements and used high-quality creams and serums on my face. In my 30s, I added face yoga and red light therapy. But at 42, I wanted to add another strategy—one that would enhance my appearance in a subtle, natural way that still felt like me.

As Abbotsford starts to bloom with spring colour and the weather warms up, it’s not just the season getting a fresh start. Many of our clients at Godley Clinic Abbotsford are booking Botox treatments to smooth out the winter wear and welcome spring with a brighter, more refreshed look.

This guide walks you through the first year of BHRT, highlighting four key areas where you can expect to see improvements: stress, bone health, libido, and weight management. Understanding what to expect can help you stay motivated and committed to the process.

At The Godley Clinic, we know that aesthetics is about more than just what you see in the mirror. It’s about feeling confident, refreshed, and at your best—inside and out. That’s why Dr. Mark Godley takes a science-driven, health-first approach that focuses on individuality, regenerative medicine, and cutting-edge technology to support long-term beauty and well-being.

Overly inflated lips can disrupt facial symmetry, drawing attention away from other features and creating an unnatural aesthetic. Conversely, well-balanced lips enhance the entire facial structure, complementing the cheekbones, jawline, and overall profile. Dr. Mark Godley has refined the art of undetectable lip filler, using advanced techniques to refine, hydrate, and harmonize the lips with the face’s natural proportions. His approach is centered on enhancing rather than altering, ensuring results that are elegant, effortless, and timeless.

I’m Dr. Mark Godley, and if there’s one thing I emphasize to my patients, it’s that longevity and aesthetics go hand in hand. Looking your best isn’t just about what happens in the treatment room — it’s about how you take care of yourself every day. Aesthetic treatments like neuromodulators, fillers, PRF, and biostimulators are powerful tools, but they work best when supported by a solid foundation of nutrition and lifestyle choices.
