Just like skin, results may vary. These pictures (of our awesome, real-life clients!) help you see what is possible and set a realistic expectation.

We’d love to get to know you, learn more about your goals, and see what treatment options would suit you best for dermal fillers and their treatment areas.

With One of Our Dermal Fillers or Lip Injection Treatments You Can

REDISCOVER YOUR TRUE LOOK AT DERMMEDICA

It all started when we were tiny little babies with big fat cheeks – how cute! After our young adult years, all that volume began to slowly disappear and now we are wondering where the heck did it all go? 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. The first areas to go are usually around the eyes, cheeks and chin area. 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 no surgery and no downtime required, but results that normally last years.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Juvéderm® dermal fillers (an alternative to collagen injections) is a simple non-surgical treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) (a naturally-occurring sugar found in the body) to smooth and give volume to the skin

Using the latest in volumizing technology, Juvéderm VOLUMA proves that volume can go a long way in restoring a more youthful, natural appearance:

This dermal filler provides terrific results when used by itself, but also can be used with a wrinkle smoothing injectable (Botox® Cosmetic) to provide a more balanced, refreshed look because it treats all areas of the face.

OUR JUVÉDERM TREATMENTS

Each Juvéderm treatment at DermMedica is a personalized facial rejuvenation that will help you look your best. It can address the three D’s of aging in the face — descent, deflation, and deterioration.

By treating the three D’s of aging with a complete and holistic approach, you can achieve dramatic facial rejuvenation, without losing your own natural look. The effects of some surgical procedures can leave you looking unlike yourself, but not this one. It will leave you looking refreshed in just minutes with no major surgical risks.

DERMAFILL

DermaFill is a personalized facial rejuvenation that maximizes the benefits of our facial injectables by using more in more places of the face to achieve a more comprehensive overall improvement. Not all patients require a DermaFill procedure, but for those who do, the effects can make a world of difference.

Treatment Spotlight:

LIP AUGMENTATION WITH INJECTABLES

Many patients have come to us wanting to change many things about the fullness and contours of their lips. The injectables we provide are designed to target all of the following problems and more:

Thin Lips: Fuller lips are one of our most requested treatments, and we are happy to help. We carry what we consider to be the best substance that can be used to plump lips and give them an enhanced, but still natural look. A natural look is a key element in our plans. There is no point in having an overdone look if it’s just going to stand out in a negative way. Dr. Crippen always aims to provide the most natural look with every procedure.

Vertical Lip Lines: These wrinkles are also known as “smoker’s lines,” and are a common source of distress for our clients because they are a sign of aging that often comes too early for most people. Improving them can give a younger appearance to the face. Our different treatments can occasionally be used for these lines, as well as laser therapy or Botox® Cosmetic. Each patient requires a different approach, which we can discuss during our consultation.

Poorly Outlined Lips: Some clients are unhappy with the look of their vermillion border—the outline that separates lips from the rest of the face. This is generally a problem in older patients who have lost that border due to aging and sun exposure. The right amount can make a dramatic difference.

Unsatisfying Cupid’s Bow: A sharp cupid’s bow (the M part of the upper lip) is a timeless look that can be enhanced in the right patient. The key is that the doctor not try to change the shape of someone’s lip, rather they need to focus on enhancing what is already present.

Services & Treatments Offered

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.

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.
