Medical Aesthetics in BradfordWest Gwillimbury

Same municipality, same tax bill

Bradford and West Gwillimbury have been one town since 1991. If your address is in West Gwillimbury, Bond Head, Newton Robinson or Coulson’s Hill, or on one of the concession roads across the marsh, we are not a clinic in another town. We are the clinic in yours.

That makes this page short, because there is no drive to justify.

Getting in from the rural side

From Bond Head it is ten minutes straight east on Highway 88, which becomes Holland Street West. We are at number 444, on the north side, before the Barrie Street lights.

From Newton Robinson and Coulson’s Hill, County Road 4 runs south to Highway 88, then east. About fifteen minutes.

From the marsh concessions, either Canal Road across to Highway 400 or Yonge Street north into town, depending on which side of the marsh you farm.

Farming skin

The Holland Marsh is one of the most productive vegetable-growing areas in Canada, and the people who work it spend seven months a year outdoors. That produces a very specific pattern: heavy cumulative UV on the forehead, nose, cheekbones, ears, the back of the neck and the forearms, usually with a sharp line where a shirt sleeve sat.

Two things are worth saying about that. First, it is treatable. BBL broadband light and CO2 laser resurfacing both work well on it, and both are best started in the low-UV months when you are not back out in the field the following week.

Second, and more importantly, sun-damaged skin needs a proper look before anyone treats it cosmetically. Some of what turns up on a farmer’s forearms is not cosmetic. Our Medical Director, Alex Dinovich, is a Nurse Practitioner, which means the person assessing you is qualified to tell the difference and to say when something needs referral rather than a laser.
