In my 50s, I think I am finally realizing that I do not have to look the way I did in my 30s. For a long time, I wanted to hold on to that full, youthful look with fuller cheeks, fuller lips and more volume. But it does not feel like me anymore. These days, I want more definition and to look refreshed, just a fantastic version of myself! Think Sofia Vergara rather than a Real Housewives reunion.

So, you’re interested in Plexr. You like the idea of tightening loose eyelid skin without surgery, but you have heard that, unlike injectables, recovery comes with a whole lot of tiny scabs.

It can look a little alarming. The good news is that the scabs are supposed to be there. 

“The scabs are part of the healing process. The best thing you can do is leave them alone and let the skin heal underneath.” — Dr. Godley

Here is what each stage of Plexr healing looks like, what is normal and what requires a call to the clinic.

We put so much attention into our faces, but the neck and hands age right alongside them. So, what can we actually do about them? I asked the team at Godley Clinic what treatment options are available for the neck and hands.

But Dr. Godley, Isn't Filler Just Filler?

Most fillers are not regenerative. Radiesse is one of the few exceptions. That's why it's surprising that so many people have never heard of it or don't realize how different it is.

As we get older, it's common to notice changes in sexual health. Erections may not be as firm or as easy to achieve as they once were. As part of his focus on healthy aging and longevity, Dr. Mark Godley helps men explore treatments that support both sexual health and quality of life.

The P Shot and prescription ED medication can both improve erectile function, but they work in very different ways.

Dr. Godley: When I opened the False Creek Surgical Centre in Vancouver in the 90s, facelift surgery was one of our most common procedures. At the time, if someone wanted to address sagging skin, surgery was really the only reliable option.

Radiesse has been approved for the treatment of wrinkles in the chest (décolleté).

While the chest has long been treated in aesthetic medicine, this approval specifically targets wrinkles using a biostimulating filler.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been insecure about the darkness under my eyes. I tried everything: eye masks, brightening creams, layers of concealer.  But no matter what I did, I was still left with dark, hollow under-eyes.

This blog is inspired by a patient’s experience, with details adjusted for editorial and privacy purposes.

I remember turning 43. That was the age for me when I thought, I need to find a Botox doctor. It was time. And for the next five years, Botox was simply part of my routine.

“I keep adding filler and I still look tired.”

By this point, the usual concerns have already been treated. Hollowing has been improved. Lines have been softened. Volume has been restored.

And yet, the overall impression still feels tired. When that happens, the issue is often not the filler itself, but the overall strategy.

“This is the moment filler fatigue becomes apparent,” says Dr. Mark Godley. “The answer isn’t always more filler. It’s a better plan.”

Erections don’t always stay the same. Changes in firmness, reliability, and recovery can occur with stress, aging, circulation, or hormonal shifts, even when desire remains. For men who prefer not to rely on medication, regenerative treatments provide an alternative path.

The P Shot uses platelet rich plasma from your blood to support tissue health and circulation. At Godley Clinic, it is offered as a medical option for erectile dysfunction. Here’s what you need to know.

In many consultations, I see the same gesture. People place one hand on each side of their face and gently lift their cheeks upward. Can you do this? they ask. Or do I need surgery?

The same motion shows up when we talk about the eyes and the nose. Fingers lifting the skin, testing what changes when tissue is supported rather than filled. The question is always the same: Can this be addressed without surgery?

We asked Dr. Mark Godley to reflect on what defined patient care at Godley Clinic in 2025 and what he’s watching as we head into 2026.

When our 52-year-old patient came in to see Dr. Godley, she pointed to her jawline and said, “Can you do anything about this?” She felt her jawline had changed more in the past two years than in the ten years before that. Botox still helped, but it was no longer giving the same “oomph” she enjoyed in her forties.

“The most meaningful part of a thread lift is seeing how the skin responds in the months that follow. It is not only about the initial lift but about the skin rebuilding itself. Patients often notice that their results continue to improve over time, which is exactly what we aim for in regenerative medicine.”
— Dr. Mark Godley

“Plexr is one of the most precise tools I use,” says Dr. Godley. “It allows me to treat the eyelids and under eye area with exceptional control, without affecting the lashes or surrounding skin. It is gentle, yet it activates the body’s own collagen response for gradual, natural improvement.”

What if your body’s healing wasn’t limited by age or lifestyle, but guided by a precise set of signals your body already understands? That’s the idea behind Regenerative Protein Arrays (RPA), a new advancement drawing global interest in regenerative and aesthetic medicine.

Scroll through TikTok or Instagram and you will notice a new beauty obsession lighting up the feed: PRF under eyes. The videos all look familiar — a quick blood draw, the centrifuge spinning, and the caption “liquid gold.” Then come the reveals. Eyes that looked hollow and shadowed suddenly appear smoother, brighter, and rested.

Thread lifts are an exciting option for patients who want to lift without surgery. But here’s the truth: not everyone is immediately a good candidate. If your skin has too much laxity or lacks enough density, the threads may slip or fail to hold the way they should. That doesn’t mean a lift isn’t possible. It just means your skin needs some preparation first.
