A Personal Story of Inspiration

Posted on June 10, 2019 by Dr. McWhirter

Every day at ReNue, I feel very privileged that I get small glimpses into our patients’ lives.  Today, I want to share a personal journey that really got my attention over the last few months. I often feel very inspired by our patients. Thanks to them, I am reminded of the benefits of feeling more confident and empowered in one’s life.  We hope and believe that ReNue plays a role in helping our patients achieve inner and outer wellbeing. A Patient’s Inspiration I was introduced to a patient by one of my nurses the other day.  This patient had just … Continue Reading

How Do You Know When You Have Found Your Medical Aesthetic Home?

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Dr. McWhirter

Here at ReNue, we are very excited to be working on a new practice management system that will improve our patient care even more, but it begs the question, “How do you know when you have found the right place to address your aesthetic needs?” In order to answer this question, I recommend asking yourself the following questions. If you can answer yes to most or all of them, then you’ve found your medical aesthetic home! If not, I recommend you keep looking. External Factors to Consider: Is the clinic warm and inviting, clean and professional? Is the staff friendly … Continue Reading

The Re-Consult

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Dr. McWhirter

In a follow up to my last blog, I wanted to discuss the second most important factor for getting a great result with your skin care regimen.  It is what we call the re-consult.  The re-consult is something that we try to schedule yearly to review our treatments, review the results and make sure we remain on track.  The analogy would be going in for an annual check-up with your doctor and then never having a complete check-up done again.  You want to be preventative and not wait for illness to happen.  It is not that different in the medical … Continue Reading

The Power of Looking and Feeling Younger

Posted on March 1, 2018 by Dr. McWhirter

First of all, I want to thank everyone who recently attended our sales event.  It was great to see so many of our loyal customers and so many clients that we hadn’t seen for a while.  It is always a proud time for me to see all the staff working hard and connecting with our customers to make sure we are on track with their skin rejuvenation goals.  I also get a chance to spend more time just socializing which is rare in my days but I value highly. One conversation struck out to me from a customer that has been … Continue Reading

The Problem with Politeness

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Dr. McWhirter

This might be a blog more about friends and difficult conversation than medical aesthetics, but here goes.  I was at a talk given by a famous childhood psychologist a few years back and I remember one comment he made that stuck with me.  It went something like this. “The down fall of Canadian parenting is rooted in traditional British politeness.” This was of course coming from an Italian psychologist!  His point was that we are often too polite for our own good.  Kids understand direct, “un-polite,” commands from parents that are not laced with too many pleases and thank yous.  … Continue Reading
