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 climbed to 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.
In 2012 Afterglow entered into a partnership with Opportunity International, providing small business loans and more in the developing world.
Now, the guys have their own treatment facility at Afterglow! Our unique men's skin care program will give you a firmer and smoother face and body and specializes in result-oriented solutions in a confidential and discreet atmosphere.

Our reputation is growing. The following article appeared in the March 2009 edition of Fashion Magazine:
Those looking to get that certain covetable glow might want to book a visit with Dr. Shehla Ebrahim at her fully licensed and medically supervised medi-spa in North Vancouver. Asian-influenced decor is the finishing touch on a relaxed, private and no-pressure environment, where informative Power Point presentations about Botox, photofacial and laser hair removal help set realistic expections and put clients at ease. Menopausal women wary of synthetic hormones can look into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy....

Thank You for voting me best doctor!
Full service medi spa, offering:
Afterglow Skin and Laser Centre
Westview Centre, 2609 Westview Drive, Suite 104, North Van, 604-980-3993, afterglowskincare.ca.
Proponent of cosmetic procedures or not, it’s tough to argue against the effects of long, luscious eyelashes. Afterglow is now offering Latisse, the newly approved product that , if applied nightly for two months, helps your lashes grow longer, fuller and darker.
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.
They say that your neck and hands are the first to show your age. Ring true? Try Radiesse, an industry leader when it comes to restoring volume in hands.
“As health professionals, we are able to give back to the communities in which we live, as well as the world at large,” says Dr. Ebrahim. It is a sentiment she holds dear, and in May of this year, it will take her to Level 1 Base Camp of Mt. Everest (18,500 ft) with a mission to promote and support community-based education, especially for girls, in remote, underserviced and war stricken areas of Northern Pakistan.
“The education of our children is the best hope we have for a peaceful and prosperous world,” says Dr. Ebrahim, who in 2006 climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital, and in 2002, travelled to Tibet to provide free medical service to the eastern nomads.
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.
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.
Afterglow Medi-Spa Offers two Spring Packages for beautiful lips and smooth, hairless skin
Beautiful Lips Package: It’s kissing time again! With all the new spring lip colours on drugstore shelves, many of us are wondering how we can make our lips look plumper and more youthful.
Women generally seek lip enhancement for one of two reasons: They were born with “thin” lips, and would prefer a fuller, more plump appearance, or they are noticing that their lips are becoming flatter and less “padded” due to aging. Either way, a treatment at Afterglow can restore or create natural-looking fullness in the lips, in a mere half hour or so.
To help your lips look their very best, Afterglow is offering a special lip enhancement package, Teosyal Kiss®, a safe and pain-free filler that has a completely natural feel and will not “drift” inside the lips.
Laser Hair-removal Package: If facial or body hair is getting the better of you and you are tired of reaching for your razor, tweezers, depilatory, or waxing kit, a Laser Hair Removal treatment at Afterglow could well be the answer…
Women frequently have unwanted hair on the upper lip or eyebrow area, in the bikini zone, under the arms and on the legs, while men often wish to rid themselves of excessive hair on the back, chest, between the eyebrows or on other parts of the face.
The Sciton BBL™ (Broadband Light) laser offers a safe, effective and permanent alternative to shaving, tweezing and waxing, that you are sure to love.
Please call Afterglow at 604-980-3993 or email us now for more details.
Season's Greetings from Afterglow Medi-spa!
Dr. Ebrahim and the staff of Afterglow wish all their special clients and friends a truly wonderful Festive Season and a New Year filled with much joy, good health, and youthfulness!
Stay tuned for more tips on looking as young as you feel (or feeling as young as you look!). Remember to drink one glass of water for every half glass of alcohol, get enough sleep, and watch the sugar when partying. Your skin will thank you for it when 2010 rolls around…
First Annual Customer Appreciation Night
A new cocktail has hit town… the Afterglow Martini, and Afterglow A-list clients and friends were the first to sample it at the door of the popular north shore medi-spa.
For those who were driving, a delectable, good-for-your-skin punch was the perfect way to start a wonderful evening hosted by Dr. Ebrahim and her staff.
As the guests got to know each other (all Afterglow clients were A-listers), and sample the hors d’oeuvres, three rooms were set aside for guests to chat with specialists in three categories: lasers, Botox™ Cosmetic, and Teosyal™ Kiss and Teosyal™ Deep filler/SILKPEEL™ DermalInfusion™. After checking the appropriate boxes on the slips of paper provided, guests were entered for a draw to win a vial of Teosyal™ Kiss valued at $500. (Congratulations to winner Susan Mehryani.)
The fun continued as guests were treated to a professional demonstration of the Argentinian Tango, then belly dancing by the beautiful Yasmina. But the highlight of the evening was watching Dr. Ebrahim dancing to Bollywood music and encouraging her guests to join in. What fun! (Rumour has it that belly dancing lessons may soon be arranged for all interested parties, so if you are wanting to keep those hip flexors supple, please call Dione…)
This post is being written by a guest, and not Afterglow. On behalf of all invitees, I would like to thank Shehla and her staff for their incredible care during the time we have known them, and for the wonderful time we had on customer appreciation night. (More images in the preceding post…)
