“Every face tells a story. My role is not to change who someone is, but to understand how they have aged, identify what will make the greatest difference, and create results that look healthy, balanced and naturally refreshed.”
There is a distinction between performing cosmetic procedures and practising aesthetic medicine.
For more than 23 years, Dr. Gidon Frame has combined advanced cosmetic medicine with over 40 years of physician experience. Skin quality, collagen loss, facial volume, hormonal changes, and overall health all influence how we age and heal. Rather than treating individual wrinkles, he evaluates the face as a complete three-dimensional structure — through the lens of a physician who understands the health of the whole patient.
The Art of Facial Balancing: Exceptional aesthetic medicine is rarely a single treatment. The most natural results come from understanding the relationship between facial support, skin quality, volume, movement, and tissue position. Every consultation includes a comprehensive facial assessment to determine which combination will provide the greatest benefit — so patients age gracefully, never overtreated, frozen, or artificial.
Advanced Expertise in Injectables and Aptos® Thread Lifting: Dr. Frame has spent more than two decades refining advanced injectable techniques using neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulatory injectables, and regenerative treatments that restore structure while maintaining natural facial movement.
Following advanced international training and certification, his expertise now extends to the latest generation of Aptos® Threads, which reposition facial tissues while stimulating the body’s own collagen production. For carefully selected patients seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, Aptos® Threads can restore facial support, redefine the jawline, elevate the cheeks, and improve the neck while encouraging long-term collagen remodeling.
Premium Technologies for Skin Tightening: Exceptional outcomes require exceptional technology. The clinic offers the world’s most advanced non-surgical skin tightening systems, including Thermage® FLX and Ultherapy PRIME®.
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to strengthen existing collagen and stimulate new collagen, firming skin on the face, eyes, neck, and body with little to no downtime. Ultherapy PRIME uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time imaging to treat the deeper structural layers that support the face, lifting the brow, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
These technologies work even better thoughtfully combined with injectables, Aptos® Threads, laser treatments, or medical-grade skincare — every plan built on the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and goals, never a standardized protocol.
A Physician’s Perspective: Consultations with Dr. Frame feel different. He brings the curiosity and thoroughness of four decades of medical practice and his role as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia. Sometimes his advice means combining treatments; sometimes it means a more conservative approach — or no treatment at all. That honesty has earned the trust of patients who value thoughtful guidance as much as technical expertise.
By combining decades of medical experience with today’s most advanced technologies, Dr. Gidon Frame helps patients age beautifully — with results that are natural, balanced, and timeless.
