Botox is for anyone who wants to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on their face. It relaxes muscle movement to smoothen the skin over time. Dr. Crippen has over a decade of experience injecting Botox for thousands of his patients. You will be in very experienced hands.

Some of us lose volume more quickly, while others hold onto it quite well into our middle age, but all of us lose volume as we age. Adding a little volume here and there with precise injections can reshape our face back to where we need it to be. The beauty of injectable treatments is there is no surgery and no downtime required, but results that normally last years.

A Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser is similar to an Erbium Laser in that they both vaporize water to remove layers of problem skin and stimulate collagen growth. A Fractional CO2 laser, however, is a much better skin tightening laser and therefore is used for the treatment of deeper skin problems.

Dr. Crippen removes all sorts of unwanted cosmetic skin lesions including moles, nevi, skin tags, cysts and more. You don’t have to suffer with unwanted and unsightly skin lesions. For any concerning medical lesions like skin cancer, you need to see your family physician for assessment and removal.

CoolSculpting is a procedure wth no downtime that permanently zaps fat without any fuss or muss on your tummy, love handles, flanks, back, thighs, arms and more. As the first Kelowna CoolSculpting provider in 2011, we are uniquely qualified to perform treatments while you sit back, relax and wait for your fat to disappear for good.

Dermedica Kelowna deserves 10 stars not 5!
The clinic is aesthetically beautiful and very calm and inviting. The staff are kind, professional and very knowledgeable! Dr Crippen was so good to deal with and always gave great advice. Special “Thank you” to Hillary! She gave me the best facial I have ever had! I will certainly continue to use their services. Great job everyone.

I've come to dermmedica for all of my more in-depth skin care including cool sculpting, mole removals, and laser facials. I'm the kind of person who gets seriously anxious when it comes to new procedures and Dr. Crippen and Charlene have been incredible at making sure I'm always well taken care of! I highly reccomend this place for all of your skin needs!

This was my third time getting Botox, and by far the best experience. The team at DermMedica really listened to what I wanted and delivered subtle, natural results, exactly what I asked for. They used significantly less product than other places I’ve been to, which I appreciated so much. It showed me they weren’t just upselling but actually cared about doing what’s best for me. The whole appointment felt calm, professional, and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be back

Excellent, knowledgable staff! Appointment was on time! I had a number of moles and blemishes removed from my back, by laser, and it was relatively painless. Beautiful, well appointed office. My definate "go to" for any other procedures.

First photo is before, last photo is after. When I came in for a consultation I thought that I was asking for the impossible. I wanted this mole in my eyebrow removed, but of course I wanted to keep my eyebrow! It was in a very tough spot.. They did not promise me anything and told only the truth. Some hairs will be missing and will not grow back in that spot and there may be a small scar. But Dr. Crippen reassured me that the scarring would be minimal because I have fair skin. He did a fantastic job of stitching both sides back together so you can barely tell that there is a gap at all. My hairs got caught up in the sutures so they had to be clipped which left a little bald patch, but the hairs that were clipped would at least grow back and comb over the sliver of bald patch. The healing journey was quite long, I had this procedure done in February but the results were worth being patient. You cannot even tell that I had anything done! (Which in this case is good)
All the staff here are amazing. Thank you so much for helping me with this. It couldn’t have gone any better
