Dr vanVliet and her team are professional, positive and very personable, I felt very safe in their caring hands. I sought out Dr vanVliet’s advice and treatment for my very fair, northern skin and I am very pleased with her expert advice, experience and how she and her team made me feel so comfortable and took care of my concerns. I highly recommend Dr vanVliet and her Spring Skin Clinic here on beautiful Salt Spring Island and I am thrilled that she brought her years of expertise to our island.
Lift. Tighten. Smooth and revitalize your skin with noticeable, yet natural looking, long lasting results
One of the most frequent patient requests that Dr vanVliet has received over her 27 years as an Aesthetic Plastic surgeon is how to tighten the skin without the need for surgery. Towards this end, Dr vanVliet has been dedicated to finding solutions for skin that safely deliver real results, with minimal down-time. Over the span of her career, countless devices have come to market, but the search for a truly effective, and comfortable skin tightening modality has, until now, proven elusive.

We are delighted and excited to introduce Sofwave to Spring Skin on Salt Spring island. Unlike may previous devices that promised more than they could deliver, Sofwave has earned Dr vanVliet’s stamp of approval.
Sofwave is an award-winning, state-of-the-art ultrasound treatment modality that offers a non-surgical solution for lifting, smoothing and tightening your skin.
This technology, backed by robust clinical trials, uses ultrasound wakes to deliver heat at a precise depth within the skin. An integrated cooling system simultaneously cools the outer layer of the skin to protect it and improve comfort. Having precise control over depth of penetration and heating of the mid-dermis stimulates your own body’s healing process, including the robust flooding of collagen and elastin into the targeted areas.
This collagen stimulation provides structural support and some volume to the site, combating any fine lines, sagging skin or wrinkles. It is also ideal for improving the appearance of cellulite on the thighs or buttocks and improving acne scarring.

I have had 2 BBL procedures at Spring Skin Clinic on Salt Spring island and I cannot say enough good things about it!! First, the staff are friendly and helpful. Second, Dr vanVliet takes her time examining you and telling you what options she thinks are best while smiling and making you feel comfortable. Third, the BBL procedure is amazing! I could see a huge difference after the first week and I have a lot of sun damage. My husband noticed it too and couldn’t believe it! This was a gift to myself for my 60th. I am so happy I did it! My face looks 10 years younger (not kidding)!
Thank you to the team at Spring Skin.

While I did not tend to my skin in my youth, over the past 15 years I have protected my face from the sun and taken good care of that organ. In spite of my best efforts, Mother Time has continued to take her toll and I found myself hating my ‘old lady skin’. While I am a happy and healthy senior, I wasn’t ready to fully surrender to all aspects of aging. Two years ago I decided that Mother Time was not going to completely have her way. This is when the Spring Skin clinic began contributing to my non-surgical skin care needs. Using treatments recommended by Dr vanVliet and her team, I have watched my skin condition improve dramatically. From the removal of aging spots to reduced pore size I’d not seen in years; the change over time made me well, beyond happy. I am shocked at how youthful and healthy my skin looks in the full light of day. The smile on my face should be testimonial enough!

Since I started going to Spring Skin less than a year ago Ive had several Spring Skin glow treatments, a 2-in-1 super treatment that combines a HydraFacial MD treatment with BBL HERO to correct pigmentation and reverse skin aging. The HydraFacial MD is always relaxing and a great prep that leaves my skin feeling hydrated and thoroughly cleansed before the BBL treatment. Unlike many BBL machines, BBL HERO is more potent and less painful – the light ray is just a tiny zap as it moves along – so you’re getting more light energy into your skin and are way more comfortable during the process. In just a few treatments, the redness in my face is gone and my skin feels super smooth and healthy. The team at Spring Skin are always attentive and make me feel entirely comfortable throughout the treatment. Every appointment is a pleasure.
