Kristina Hewlett

Kristina Hewlett, the clinic’s cosmetic laser expert, weaves her diverse experience into her work with every client. Whether it is Kristina’s sound knowledge and experience with medical-grade skin care lasers, ongoing advanced training in medical esthetics in the US and Canada each year, the development and management of wellness spas, her travels abroad, or her personal and professional experience in sourcing the best skin products, Kristina’s desire to educate her clients and de-mystify what is just good common sense skin care sets her apart from other professionals in the industry.

Kristina’s passion for healthy skin care began with researching alternatives to antibiotics and sensitizing topical medications as a result of personally suffering for years with acne rosacea and excema and then subsequently prematurely aged skin.

A few key elements of her skin care philosophy are:

- Keep skin care as simple and natural as possible
- Protect the skin from overexposure to the sun
- Choose mineral based sun block instead of chemical based
- Maintain healthy, hydrated skin by reducing your intake of refined sugars and alcohol and by drinking plenty of water
- Understand your options for non-surgical laser and medical esthetic procedures

To maintain her healthy and balanced lifestyle as a businesswoman and mother, Kristina enjoys travel, music, dance, fresh air, everything organic and gourmet and spending time with her friends and family. Her young daughter, Sofia, is a constant source of joy and learning in her life.

A Message from Dr. Steven Gordon

The passage of time is visible on all of our faces. Teenage sun exposure, daily UV exposure and the rigors of daily life change the nature of the tissue in our skin. This is manifested by brown pigments, dilated red and blue veins, wrinkles, facial hair, dilated pores and a rough apprearance to the skin.

Aesthetic medicine, including state of the art laser technologies and non surgical cosmetic procedures, addresses all of these issues and allows us to look years younger.

Kristina and I are proud to be able to offer these procedures along with the other health, wellness and age management options at the Cook Street Village Health Centre.
