Top Facial Treatments in Kelowna

In today’s fast-paced world, our patients want to look their very best yet may not have the time to recover from invasive surgical procedures. That’s why our Kelowna skin clinic offers advanced, minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments to provide safe, effective and natural results.

But which cosmetic treatment is right for you?

1. Botox

Botox is one of the most sought-out cosmetic treatments at our skin clinic for patients looking to prevent or reverse the signs of aging on their face. A popular injectable worldwide, Botox works by limiting the activity of facial activities which cause dynamic wrinkles.

Quick Overview:

• Short treatment time (approximately 15 minutes depending on treatment area)
• Quick and dramatic results
• Repeat treatments required after every 3-4 months

Botox works best for:

Botox works well for patients between the ages of 20-60 years old and can be used to treat a number of cosmetic concerns including:

• Crow’s feet
• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Lip lines

Botox is NOT suitable for patients who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have any health conditions that affect their muscles and/or nerves
• Are taking certain medications, notably antibiotics that are aminoglycosides
• Are under the age of 18 years old
• Have known allergies to any of the ingredients in Botox

 

2. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure that works to exfoliate the epidermis (top layer of the skin), thereby stimulating the production of new skin cells and collagen for long-term benefits to your skin.

Quick Overview:

• Quick, painless procedure (approximately 30 minutes)
• Immediate effects with little-to-no downtime
• Effective for all skin types and colors
• Effective & long-lasting results

Microdermabrasion works best for concerns including:

• Uneven skin tone and dull complexion
• Clogged pores
• Age spots and other sun damage
• Unwanted facial lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars

Microdermabrasion is NOT suitable for patients who have:

• Active keloids
• Undiagnosed lesions
• Had a recent herpes outbreak
• Active acne or rosacea
• Auto-immune system disorders

 

3. Laser Hair Removal

If you’re tired of shaving, tweezing or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal is a great alternative for permanently hair-free, smooth skin. During the treatment, a laser beam is passed through the skin to individual hair follicles, inhibiting future growth.

Quick Overview:

• Suitable for all skin types
• Virtually pain free
• Laser hair removal leads to permanent reduction of hair growth
• Minimal side effects

Laser hair removal works on many areas of the body including:

• Face (upper lip, chin and cheeks)
• Arms
• Legs & Bikini
• Chest & Back
• Underarms
• Beard

Laser hair removal is NOT suitable for patients with:

• Gray/white, light red or blonde hair
• Tanned skin (including natural & spray on tans)
• Peach fuzz (hair growth that is too light)
• A tendency towards keloid scarring
• Tattoos or permanent makeup in the treatment area

 

4. Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattooing, is a fast growing part of the health and beauty industry. The treatment is designed to mimic the look of just-applied lipstick, lip liner, eyebrow pencil and eyeliner.

Permanent makeup is done through a process of micropigmentation, where a tattoo pen is used to inject permanent ink into the skin.

Quick Overview:

• A procedure can take between 30-120 minutes, depending on treatment area
• Short healing period (2-5 days)
• Long-lasting, natural results
• Great for patients with impaired motor skills who find it difficult to apply makeup themselves

Permanent makeup can be used for:

• Eyebrows
• Lips
• Eyeliner
• Covering scars
• Areola pigmentation

Permanent makeup is a great option for:

• Athletes
• Patients who are allergic to traditional cosmetics
• Those who have difficulty applying makeup themselves due to physical limitations
• Patients who don’t wish to apply makeup daily
• Women looking for areola repigmentation after a breast reconstruction
