ABOUT Afterglow

Afterglow is a full-service medi-spa, founded in 2005 by Dr. Shehla Ebrahim, a practising family physician. Dr. Ebrahim's passion for wellness and beauty - the underpinnings of self-confidence - has led to Afterglow's growing reputation as a respected provider of professional skincare services in the Greater Vancouver area. Although the medi-spa is situated in North Vancouver, it attracts clients from all over the province: a testament to the satisfaction of those who have experienced Dr. Ebrahim's professional and friendly manner as well as her technical ability.

The staff of Afterglow Medi-Spa believe strongly in corporate social responsibility. Our special role as health professionals enables us to give back to the communities in which we live, as well as to the world at large.

In 2002, Dr. Ebrahim travelled to Tibet to provide free medical services to the nomads of the eastern regions. In 2006, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for BC Children's Hospital.

In 2010 Dr. Ebrahim is preparing to climb Mount Everest Base Camp with a mission to promote and support community-based education, especially for girls, in remote, underserviced and war stricken areas of Northern Pakistan. She believes that the best hope for a peaceful and prosperous world lies in the education of all the world's children.

In collaboration with the Central Asia Institute, a non-profit organization, Dr. Ebrahim has been donating 2% of the profits from Afterglow, since January, 2009.

Spa Ethics

Of course you know all the dos and don'ts of attending a beauty services spa, but did you know that attending a medi-spa means the same small courtesies should be observed?

We want your visit to be as pleasurable as possible, so please read through this short list of requests before you attend your service appointment:

Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment (so that you can enjoy a cup of tea and relax)
Please call if you are running late so that we may reschedule your treatment.
Cancellations require 24 hour notice for all treatments to avoid a charge of 50% of all treatments scheduled.
As a courtesy to others, please ensure that mobile phones are set to vibrate only.
We encourage you call us with any questions and concerns, no matter how trivial they may seem.

March 20, 2010

Fashion Magazine, March 2010 Afterglow has been featured in the March 2010 issue of Fashion Magazine. Here’s what they have to say about us:

Get bright, glowing, rejuvenated skin that has everyone thinking you’ve just come back from a tropical holiday. This fully kitted-out, Zen-inspired medi-spa was opened five years ago by Dr. Shehla Ebrahim, a warm and attentive cosmetic and family physician who has been practising for over 17 years. Book a complimentary consultation to get started on a treatment plan that meets your skin-care goals and concerns. Make rosacea, lines, folds, spider veins, sun damage, unwanted hair and age spots a thing of your past, or opt for a lunchtime pick-me-up of the Botox, silk peel (which uses Vitamin C instead of chemicals), filler or lip-enhancement variety.
