With DermaPeel You Can

REDISCOVER YOUR TRUE LOOK AT DERMMEDICA

A Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser peel 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.

CERTIFIED

Dr. Crippen is certified in cosmetic laser procedures by the American Board of Laser Surgery. Always make sure you see an experienced and well-trained laser physician for your fractional laser treatments.

HOW DOES A LASER PEEL WORK?

A fractional CO2 laser heats water, and our skin cells are made primarily of water. When directed at the problem skin area, the laser gently removes skin cells, exposing fresh layers of lower lying skin. The heat from the laser also helps to stimulate the growth of new collagen, aiding in the development of younger, smoother skin. No matter how aged the outer layers of skin may appear, Fractional CO2 treatments in Kelowna will always help improve aging and/or sun damaged skin.

HOW MUCH DOES DERMAPEEL LASER PEEL COST?

The cost for DermaPeel will depend on several factors. The number of sessions will influence the final price, as will the severity of the cosmetic issues being addressed.

RECOVERY TIME | LASER PEEL

5-7 days – Due to the intensity of the treatment, fractional CO2 laser patients often experience redness, and slight swelling following the procedure. Patients are encouraged to moisturize the skin, apply sunscreen, avoid sun exposure, and maintain a regular cleansing schedule during recovery.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Smoother, tighter, firmer, and younger looking skin are the common results of fractional CO2 laser treatments. If a fractional CO2 laser is used to treat acne, brown spots, melasma, or wrinkles, patients can expect the gradual removal of these conditions after a series of treatments.

FRACTIONAL LASER PEEL TREATMENTS IN KELOWNA, BC

At DermMedica, the average fractional laser treatment in Kelowna is 20 to 30 minutes. The rest of the appointment time is spent waiting for the numbing cream to properly freeze the treatment area. After exposure to the laser, the treated skin is soothed with a moisturizing ointment before the patient is able to leave the office and proceed home. To the left is a video of a patient followed daily for one week during and immediately after a facial fractional CO2 laser treatment.

RELATED TREATMENTS

Our laser hair removal treatments work much differently than traditional hair removal practices such as shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles on a specific area of the body and the procedure damages these follicles. Over a number of treatments, the root will become permanently damaged and will prevent the hair from growing back.

Belkyra is a naturally occurring chemical (deoxycholate) that can help shrink fat deposits by permanently eliminating fat cells. Any patient with troublesome fat deposits, particularly under the chin, back of the shoulder, front of the shoulder and other areas where fat accumulates more than desired.

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.

CoolSculpting® is a procedure with 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.

A DermaSilk Microdermabrasion treatment is a pleasant, relaxing, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a mechanical method of gently exfoliating the superficial layer of the skin. The top layer of dead skin cells are gently removed to leave the skin feeling smoother and more refreshed instantly.

The DermaGlow procedure uses an Erbium laser to gently remove a very superficial amount of skin, leaving you with smoother, fresher skin and minimal downtime. This treatment is not meant to reduce lines, wrinkles and scars, a DermaPeel treatment is required for that amount of skin smoothing.

Peeling is usually a bad side-effect from too much sun exposure, but a chemical peel is a great way to remove sun damaged skin to reveal brand new soft skin underneath. Chemical peels are for any patient who wants to even pigmentation, soften and smoothen their skin.

We may be able to help you completely recover from skin damage that has become permanent scarring. Using lasers and/or dermal fillers, we can target scars by diminishing their colour and/or encouraging the development of new smoother skin.
