Feel like yourself - just a little more refreshed.
Calm, professional aesthetic care powered by nurse-led expertise.
Welcome to Tides Medical Aesthetics, where gentle transformation meets professional excellence. Guided by Jena McNeil RN, with 11+ years of nursing experience in obstetrics and family practice, we focus on personalization, comfort, and realistic, natural results.
Neuromodulators (Botox and Dysport)
-
Wrinkles are a natural part of growing older and a sign of a life well lived. As we age, our skin slowly loses moisture, elasticity, and collagen, making it thinner and less resilient over time. This gradual change can lead to fine lines, creases, and deeper folds.
Another common contributor is facial movement. Every smile, frown, or raised brow involves tiny muscles beneath the skin. These repetitive motions can lead to what's known as dynamic wrinkles—lines that appear when we express ourselves. With time, if left unaddressed, these can evolve into static wrinkles, becoming more visible even when the face is at rest.
At Tides, we believe in caring for the skin with intention and understanding while supporting you through every season of change with treatments that honour your natural beauty.
-
When we express ourselves through smiling, laughing and concentrating, fine lines naturally form. These are called dynamic wrinkles, and they come and go with movement. Over time, repetitive expressions can cause these lines to become more permanent, developing into static wrinkles that remain even when the face is at rest.
Neuromodulator treatments work by gently relaxing targeted muscles, which can help soften the look of existing lines and reduce the chances of deeper creases forming in the future. Many clients choose to begin treatment as a preventative measure, supporting smoother skin while maintaining their natural expressions.
While results vary from person to person, our goal at Tides is always the same: to help you feel calm, confident, and beautifully you. Whether you're just starting your skincare journey or continuing it with care.
-
At Tides, we believe in clear, compassionate care ensuring you always know what to expect. After your neuromodulator treatment, you may experience mild and temporary side effects, especially if you have sensitive skin or are taking certain medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners.
Some common, short-term effects may include:
Light swelling at the injection site
Tenderness or mild bruising in the treated areas
Small red marks or pinpoint dots
A mild headache, depending on the area treated
These effects typically resolve on their own within a few days. Applying a cool compress and avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours may help support a smooth recovery.
Dermal Fillers
-
As we grow older, it's natural for the face to lose some of its youthful fullness. Collagen production slows, skin becomes less elastic, and areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eyes may begin to appear more hollow or drawn.
At Tides Medical Aesthetics, we offer gentle, non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers to help restore volume and softly enhance your natural features. These treatments can also help smooth fine lines, bringing a refreshed and rested look to the face without altering your unique expression.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where an experienced injector will take the time to understand your goals, assess your facial structure, and recommend a personalized plan that feels right for you. Every treatment is approached with care, precision, and a commitment to natural-looking results.
-
Dermal fillers are a gentle, effective way to restore volume, define facial contours, and soften the appearance of lines all while keeping your natural features at the heart of the treatment.
Whether you're hoping to lift the cheeks, define the jawline, or add subtle fullness to the lips, fillers work beneath the skin to support structure and create a more refreshed, balanced appearance. While some results are visible right away, continued improvement often unfolds over the following days and weeks as the product settles naturally into place.
At Tides, every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll review your health history, listen closely to your goals, and recommend a tailored plan that supports your comfort and well-being throughout the process.
-
At Tides, we believe in transparency, education, and care that feels supportive at every stage. After your treatment, you may experience mild, temporary side effects, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and any medications you may be taking (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners).
Some common, short-term effects include:
Light swelling at the injection site
Mild tenderness or bruising
Tiny red dots or marks at the injection points
Occasionally, a mild headache depending on the area treated
These responses are typically brief and resolve on their own. Applying a cool compress and avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours can help support your healing process.
Microneedling & PRP
-
Microneedling is a natural, non-invasive way to encourage your skin’s own ability to renew and repair. Using a pen-like device with ultra-fine needles, the treatment creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin. This process gently activates your body’s collagen and elastin production while supporting smoother texture, improved tone, and a radiant, more refined appearance.
At Tides Medical Aethetics, we love microneedling for its ability to soften the look of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and even areas of pigmentation all while keeping the integrity of your skin intact. Over time, many clients notice firmer, plumper, more even skin that looks and feels refreshed.
As always, your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to ensure it’s the right fit for your goals, your skin, and your journey.
-
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing power of your own body to support skin repair and renewal. PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed to isolate the platelets (cells that are rich in growth factors and known for their ability to promote tissue healing).
When paired with microneedling, PRP is gently applied to the skin immediately after the treatment, allowing it to absorb deeply through the tiny micro-channels created during the session. This powerful combination enhances collagen production, accelerates recovery, and can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin tone.
The result? Skin that looks more radiant, firm, and refreshed using your body’s own natural processes, with no synthetic additives.
Tides also offers Vaginal PRP, using a patient’s own blood to support tissue regeneration in the vagina and vulvar area. Growth factors from PRP may help improve blood flow, tissue quality, and sensitivity.
For patients with symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy (such as dryness, irritation, or discomfort with intercourse), PRP is thought to promote healthier, more resilient tissue. Some patients also pursue PRP for sexual wellness, with the goal of enhancing arousal, lubrication, and overall satisfaction.
While early studies and patient reports are promising, evidence is still evolving, and results can vary. PRP is generally considered low risk since it uses the patient’s own blood, but it’s best offered as part of a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to women’s health.

At Tides Medical Aesthetics, we want you to feel informed and supported throughout your treatment experience. Microneedling with PRP is a powerful, regenerative skin therapy but proper preparation and gentle aftercare are essential to ensure the best results and minimize any risks.
