With more than a decade of experience in medical aesthetics and cosmetic medicine, Dr. Lourens has witnessed the evolution of the industry. With the incredible advancements that have been achieved in medical esthetics, she is a strong believer in utilizing natural facial rejuvenation products like Sculptra and Selphyl, in addition, or as an alternative, to the more traditional injectable treatments like Botox, Juvéderm and other common options.
Dr. Lourens has completed advanced training in the use of Sculptra and believes it to be the most cost-effective treatment option to replace volume loss in the face, without looking injected. For her, the biggest compliment for her patient is when they are told they look rested and healthy, not ‘done’.
To keep up with the rapidly advancing field of cosmetic medicine, Dr. Lizette regularly attends conferences and training and was the first physician in Calgary to incorporate Selphyl Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation treatments into her practice.
She has earned a solid reputation for her extensive knowledge and experience in anti-aging therapies, including bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
To understand the hormonal symphony of women, one must address nutrition, the thyroid, adrenals and a range of other hormones when doing BHRT
