Our Philosophy

We strive to offer all of the health and beauty treatments that are necessary to keep skin looking its best at all times. However, we do believe there is a right way to go about care. Nearly everything we offer at our rejuvenation clinic is non-invasive. That means no surgery and no serious downtime to heal and recover. We want you to walk out of your appointment already feeling better.

All Types of Skin-Care Solutions

You can find all sorts of health and cosmetic solutions at our Kelowna clinic. We have so many available that it’s often better just to start with your condition. Schedule an appointment to get advice about what you need. We’ll tell you how we can best help.

Chemical Peels

Our rejuvenating peels are perfect for any conditions where you want to bring fresh young skin cells to the front, especially when the current surface cells are damaged or discolored. This simple procedure can be completed in little more than half-an-hour, and there’s usually no downtime involved at all for your normal activities. It’s a light procedure that can be effective at stimulating the growth of new collagen.

Lasers

Lasers are part of a complete revolution in beauty and healthcare over the past ten years, and DermMedica’s own Dr. Crippen has been in front of it the whole time. Today, DermMedica has almost a dozen different lasers available for use, and we can closely match the right one to the condition that is giving you trouble. Our laser procedures are non-invasive and have short recovery times.

Fillers and Injections

When improving the look of skin, sometimes more is needed than changing the color. We use fillers by injection to treat many common problems including wrinkles and volume issues. Botox and Juvederm are the fillers we use most commonly at the clinic, and we use them all over the face and body. Applications include treatment for thin lips, hyperhidrosis, and many other conditions.

Skin Care Starts at Home

Skin care doesn’t start at the clinic doors. You can prevent a lot of problems and cultivate beauty just by maintaining strong daily habits.

Make Sure to Protect

You don’t even necessarily need products to have healthy skin. As long as you follow the right advice, you may be able to enjoy a youthful look into old age. Here are some of the things you should always remember for a healthy look:

Prepare for the Sun: Sun exposure is very likely the largest contributor to problems, especially in the tender areas around the lips and eyes. It’s implicated in everything from rosacea to cancer, and any discoloration may be the result of sun damage. Protecting yourself from the sun begins with wearing the right protection. You should always be using the proper sunscreen for the weather, and staying out of direct sunlight when possible.

Watch for the Signs: Your skin is good at telling you what it needs. You should always pay close attention to the state of it and how it’s reacting to the different products you use. If you notice it’s reddened, or itchy or dry, it could be a sign of a problem that needs to be addressed.

Address Problems Immediately: If you want to really care for your body, you need to make sure that you’re having problems addressed as soon as they show up. Some conditions are far easier to treat when they’re in the early stages.
