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.

Unless you are a blushing bride, constant facial redness is not all that desirable in most situations. Beyond the cosmetic appearance, chronic facial redness can lead to more permanent skin changes over many years such as acne-like pimples, dry sensitive skin, dry eyes, enlarged nose and much more. Treating Rosacea is a must for anyone experiencing these symptoms to prevent any long-term damage to the skin.

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.
