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. Dead skin cells dull the appearance of our skin, clog pores, create flaking and prevent the absorption of nutrients and oxygen and expelling of toxins. When this dead cell layer is removed, the skin underneath is exposed to better hydrate, expel toxins and absorb nutrients at an optimal rate.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Crippen for awhile now, he does botox injections for me every 3 months. I was very nervous at first, but the staff and Dr. Crippen made me feel at ease right away. He is a wonderful Doctor, very caring and does a fantastic job. I highly recommend Dr. Crippen. Staff is also excellent!!! Thank you.

Dr. Crippen is an absolute maser with Botox. I’ve had little filler implants done around my face, my ears and lips so far, and each operation came out looking exactly the way I had hoped. Not too puffy, not too thin.

This place does the best work of all the skincare clinics I’ve tried in the Vancouver area. I go back periodically for new botox and juvederm injections, and they always make it look brand new and just right every single time. This place has earned my business.

I was deeply impressed with the work of this clinic. We visited for my teenage daughter after over-the-counter medications had failed her. The acne removal treatment recommended and performed by Doctor Crippen was incredibly effective. We’ve been back for a couple more treatments over the years, and they are all as effective. I wanted to note in particular that he and the staff had a wonderful manner while administering treatment. My daughter typically hates clinical environments but she always felt very comfortable here.

This is the only place that I’ve gone for age spots since it opened. I loved how easily I could schedule at short notice, and the commitment the staff showed to making sure that I understood everything I wanted to know. I was treated very well here.

I loved how little time it took to set up the chemical peel treatment and to get it. Your clinic made the day very convenient for me, especially since two other clinics had already told me that they couldn’t fit me in that. Your chemical peel was also one of the most effective that I’ve ever had. I’m extremely satisfied.

I had excellent results with a Coolsculpting operation at this clinic. Dr. Crippen took me through everything I wanted to know before we started, and I was still surprised at how easy it was. It took a little longer than I would have liked for the results to kick in, but I didn’t change anything and I lost weight.

My coolsculpting treatment was first performed at this clinic, at the Kelowna location, which might be their only one. I’ve never had coolsculpting performed anywhere else, so I can’t judge the quality compared to other clinics, but it was really effective. The procedure was completely painless and didn’t even feel uncomfortable. The easiest weight I have ever lost.

Dr Crippen performed the Juvederm treatment in a highly professional, caring and pleasant manner. I found the entire experience to be a comfortable one and despite having some initial reservations/nervousness, both he and his extremely competent staff, made me feel totally at ease and reassured. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience of being treated by Dr Crippen and his staff.

I chose DermMedica hoping they would be able to help me with my lips. Dr. Crippen recommended a Juvederm filler, and I’m thrilled with both how easy it was and how great it looks. I was particularly pleased with the end result of the lip filler because I’ve had friends with that swollen look, and I did not want any part of that.

DermaSilk Microdermabrasion
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. Dead skin cells dull the appearance of our skin, clog pores, create flaking and prevent the absorption of nutrients and oxygen and expelling of toxins. When this dead cell layer is removed, the skin underneath is exposed to better hydrate, expel toxins and absorb nutrients at an optimal rate.
Microdermabrasion enhances new cell regeneration in the dermal and epidermal skin layers. You will notice that your skin care products will penetrate your skin surface better and over time you may even see a e a decrease in fine lines. Microdermabrasion may also lighten pigmentation for a more uniform skin tone. Your skin becomes firmer, clearer, plumper and dewier.
Microdermabrasion can be used as a stand-alone treatment, or in combination with other treatments where it compliments their effects.
