At the helm of the Anti Aging Clinic, Dr. Cynthia Stolovitz practices aesthetic medicine with a holistic approach, where health is the true foundation of beauty. Far from standardized procedures, she offers a vision that combines mastery of the best technologies with deeply human guidance.

Dr. Stolovitz, you are recognized for your holistic approach. How would you define the mission of your clinic today?

Our mission is to help our patients feel good in their own skin, no matter their age. Our goal is to treat the whole person by providing personalized care that goes beyond appearance. We work from the inside out to reveal and preserve a vitality that is intimately connected to each individual’s well-being.

You emphasize preventive and personalized medicine. How does this vision differ from traditional aesthetic medicine?

Traditional aesthetic medicine has long focused on one-time interventions. My approach is longitudinal; by monitoring my patients and their overall health, the need to reactively fix issues is minimized. Our intention is more regenerative than corrective: rather than simply filling a wrinkle, for example, we reactivate internal mechanisms by stimulating collagen production. We nourish the cells to achieve natural, lasting results that respect the authenticity of each face.

 

Your clinic stands out for its integration of the most advanced technologies. How do you select the technologies that become part of your protocols?

Our process is rigorous and focused on proven quality. There is nothing in the clinic that my team and I haven’t personally tested. Our standards are higher than market trends. We conduct our own testing to determine what is truly effective and safe, always aligning our choices with what we would want for ourselves.

You’ve just introduced Cynosure’s XERF technology. What convinced you to add this innovation to your treatments?

The arrival of XERF was truly a matter of perfect timing. We were looking for a cutting-edge solution for darker and sun-exposed skin. This led us to acquire Cynosure’s LaseMD ULTRA for its ability to safely resurface all skin phototypes. With this expertise in place, Cynosure offered us the opportunity to be among the first to test XERF as it entered the Canadian market. Developed in South Korea after seven years of research, this technology turned out to be a real breakthrough. We tested it for two months, and the results were so compelling that both our team and our patients embraced it unanimously.

 

What sets XERF apart from other technologies, both scientifically and in terms of the results observed?

XERF is based on monopolar radiofrequency, a technology that has been recognized for over twenty years, which it elevates to new heights. Its energy penetrates deeply down to the SMAS, the muscle targeted during a facelift, delivering a remarkable lifting effect without ever being invasive. Its major innovation lies in a high-performance cooling system that ensures optimal comfort, even while heating tissues at depth.

Who is XERF intended for, and what results can your patients expect?

XERF offers benefits for everyone. For younger skin, it is an exceptional preventive treatment. From the forties onward, it helps preserve youthful vitality, and for those in their fifties and beyond, it provides corrective potential that can delay the need for invasive procedures. The results are clear: the skin is lifted and firmed, facial features look refreshed, and the jawline is redefined—all without downtime or side effects.

You address both the physical and psychological aspects of aging. How does the technology support this vision?

Technology is a tool in service of an intention. Changing one detail can trigger something much deeper: it’s the act of taking time for oneself, of doing something good for oneself. When our patients see themselves in a more positive light, their energy and confidence are renewed. This is how mastering the best technologies can tangibly improve their lives.

 

In your view, what are the new priorities for men and women when it comes to aesthetics and health?

The priority has shifted from correction to preservation. People no longer want to look “done,” but to feel good in their own skin, appearing rested and healthy. The aspiration is for authenticity and bringing out the best version of oneself. The goal is to age gracefully, maintaining one’s radiance for as long as possible.

Between cutting-edge technology and a holistic approach, your practice seems to strike a balance. What is the key to providing an experience that is both scientific and deeply human?

It all starts with listening. We get to know our patients and build close, trusting relationships with them. The human aspect of our approach, along with safety and efficacy, will always be our priorities. Our expertise allows us to deliver excellence, but the relationship we cultivate is the true heart of our practice.

 

Finally, what message would you like to convey to the readers of LUXE Magazine about the importance of investing in one’s health, appearance, and well-being?

Investing in your well-being is neither a luxury nor vanity. It is the choice to give yourself what you need to face the world. How we feel inside shows on the outside, and it changes how others perceive us. It is an investment in our whole being. Aging gracefully, feeling aligned with the image we present, is the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves.
