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.

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:
Men are often stumped with holiday gift ideas. We invite you to send us your ‘Afterglow treatment’ wish list, along with your significant other’s email address. We will send him some suggestions, and if he’s interested, he can purchase you a gift card or a specific treatment. It can all be done over the phone: we’ll package it up, mail it to him and he won’t even have to leave the house! How easy is that?
There was an interesting article in the Oct. 5 issue of the Vancouver Sun, referencing ‘erotic capital’. Alsion Beard wrote an article in the Harvard Business Review about growing corporate interest in how appearance and people skills are valued just like intelligence, money and social connections.
In her article she sights three books on the topic:
Erotic Capital: The Power of Attraction in the Boardroom and the Bedroom by Catherine Hakim, Basic Books, 2011
Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People are More Successful, by Daniel S. Hamermesh, Princeton University Press, 2011
La Seduction: How the French Play the Game of Life, by Elaine Sciolino, Times Books, 2011.
Although not a new idea, it’s interesting that it now has a name!

Another popular request here is the Soft Lift™, which combines Botox and Juvederm dermal fillers to plump up fine lines around the eyes, forehead and mouth, and restore fullness in the cheeks, lips and chin.
