Champagne Mami

So many people come to us with under eye issues wanting a quick fix. There are so many before and after posts on IG that make it look like an easy in & out treatment; however, tear troughs are a really difficult area to treat and therefore you need an experienced injector to properly assess & treat the area. There is often a lot going on in the undereye area and it is rarely just one “problem” that is seen. People are often dealing with volume loss and fine lines (or crepey skin) or a whole host of other combinations of issues.

Our experience also shows us that that the tear trough area can be one of the most underwhelming areas to treat- often because there’s a lot going on under the surface and in choosing an injector that is less experienced they may not properly understand how to address all of the concerns & ultimately may make things SO much worse.

We at BE want to ensure the best possible outcomes, align with best evidence & innovate our practice- in doing so we’ve chosen to offer a highly specialized & specific treatment that does wonders for the under-eye area.

This technique is commonly referred to as the “champagne technique” (who doesn’t love champagne?!) & combines hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers with your own platelet rich plasma (PRP). Similar to the technique used in the PRP microneedling treatment we offer, we take a small sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to separate the whole blood components (red & white blood cells) from the plasma which holds the healing and collagen stimulating platelets. We then combine the PRP with the dermal filler using a specialized blending device that allows it to beautifully combine into a substance that looks just like champagne!

The champagne filler can then be injected anywhere in the face but our preferred treatment area is the tear troughs. Since filler alone doesn’t address crepey under eye tissue by choosing the champagne technique you are getting the volume boosting effects from the filler & the skin smoothing effects from the PRP. The benefits are both short & long-term & are an excellent option for tear troughs, so much so that we have chosen to use this technique exclusively when treating tear trough area.


Because May is one of our favorite months (with Nursing Week & Mother’s Day) we wanted to do a special for all the hard working mom’s & nurses out there… so, we are offering the champagne tear trough filler for the month of May for $999 which is a cost savings of just over $200!

BE beautiful // The downsides of the beauty industry + a free treatment guide from your BE besties

Working in the industry has shown us the good, bad & ugly sides of all things beauty. We at BE strive to stay authentic in how we approach each & every client before, during & after treatment. Remember… we said we’re in it for the long haul with you!

The downsides of the.png

Some common themes that might have scared some of you off from considering treatments are a direct result from poor consultation in which you might have seen things like:

  • Misinformation

  • An overwhelming amount of medical jargon

  • Poor bedside manner- who needs to go in and get torn apart when you’re likely already self-conscious

Another issue that often compounds the public’s fears is access to too much information (often not backed by real evidence).

Just remember… Dr. Google never went to med school & not everything you see on IG is gospel.

We’ve decided to combat these “problems” in a couple of ways.

  1. We always present our content based on best clinical evidence available & manufacturers’ suggestions. We will never offer non- Health Canada approved treatments (i.e. plasma pens we’re looking at you).

  2. We strive to be authentic & honest in an easy to understand way… we might have hit the books hard & can talk the talk but we’re real AF & will try our best to translate all the jargon into practical, understandable content for you.

Finally, to address the Dr. Google concern, we’ve created a simple reference for all of our clients by developing a Treatment Guide that you can download & print for free when you sign up for our newsletter here!

 When you sign up for our free treatment guide, you’ll become a BE bestie email insider which means you’ll be the first to know about all of our promos, giveaways & upcoming events. We will also be sending regular education, product reviews & other awesome content your way so be sure to sign up.  

We’d love to hear what you think!
