Drawing on her expertise as a Plastic Surgeon, Dr vanVliet has expanded her Skin Rejuvenation Treatment offerings to include Bio-Regenerative treatments.
Bio-Regenerative procedures harness your body’s own innate ability to naturally heal itself.
This treatment platform includes Micro-needling, Micro-Infusion Gold as well as PRP treatments. These treatments are all safe, minimally invasive and exact little downtime.
Micro-Infusion Gold and Micro-needling treatments are powerful means of up-regulating your skin’s own collagen and elastin formation. This means more robust, tighter and glowing skin.
With Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) infusions we use your own plasma as a healing source to naturally regenerate your skin. PRP is derived from your own blood and is full of nutritive growth factors, stem cells and platelets that have bio-stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects on your skin.
These treatments all improve your skin’s texture and tone and help with reduction of pore size. They make your skin Tighter, Brighter and Smoother. But it doesn’t just stop there – these treatments also serve to slow down and reverse skin aging at a cellular and molecular level.

Dr vanVliet and her team in Spring Spring are highly professional and very respectful of privacy and the personality of each client. The office is exceptionally clean and welcoming. Dr vanVliet has an artist’s eye and a surgeon’s hand. I have thorough confidence in her aesthetic advice and skills. I would recommend this office for anyone seeking basic skin maintenance to age defying therapies, from removal of simple skin lesions to more complicated, larger excisions. The end result is an advertisement in itself.

I am absolutely delighted to provide a review for Spring Skin! As someone who had been going to Vancouver several times a year for skin care, I was thrilled to discover Spring Skin right here on Salt Spring island. Immediately I received friendly and knowledgeable service from the office manager and my initial consult was an absolute delight! The clinic itself is lovely and inviting. I had all my questions answered and left with a treatment plan. My treatments have all gone as expected and I am in love with the results. Spring Skin will now be a regular part of my self care and skin care routines and I cannot wait to go back and try more of what they have to offer. Vancouver level treatments and service right here on Salt Spring – simply fantastic!

If someone asked me to describe my treatment results in one word, that word would be WOW! I am so impressed with Spring Skin and that begins as soon as you walk through the front door. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain various treatments. The treatments themselves and the results are nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend Spring Skin!
