What’s New

Science + Expertise + Impeccable Service = Outstanding Results

1. Plasma Pen Wrinkle Reduction

Our new Plasma Pen allows us to safely and effectively target stubborn wrinkles in discrete areas around the eyes, lips and neckline.  Crow’s feet, forehead lines and smoker’s lines are ideal wrinkles that we can successfully treat. Our Plasma Pen also serves to tighten and brighten the lax, delicate skin around the eyes and the neckline. This is a safe procedure with minimal downtime and with BIG skin tightening and brightening rewards.

2. Micro-needling

Micro-needling procedures create micro-injuries to your skin to stimulate your own natural wound healing process to ramp up collagen and elastin production.  This is referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).  Our new Evo Pen is an advanced, medical-grade micro-needling device that offers comfortable treatments, with very little downtime.  The degree of collagen induction we can achieve with our Evo Pen rivals that of most fractional laser treatments, but with significantly less expense and downtime.

It is common to infuse your skin with regenerative cocktails during your micro-needling sessions.  The micro-injuries created during your procedure act as portals that give us access and the ability to infuse the deep dermis with a variety of therapeutic cocktails that are customized to your skin’s needs.  The most commonly used infusion agent during micro-needling is PRP.  The combination of Micro-Needling and PRP infusion represents our crown jewel of  skin regeneration treatments.

3. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

One of our favourite bio-stimulatory and regenerative infusion agents is Platelet Rich Plasma, referred to as PRP.   PRP is at the forefront of Regenerative Medicine and is commonly  used in treating chronic wounds as well as Dental and Orthopaedic procedures. 

The process of creating PRP is quite simple.  We simply draw a small amount of your blood and then spin it in a centrifuge to separate out the beneficial elements of your plasma that include platelets, growth factors and stem cells.  This PRP is often referred to as Gold Broth given the bio-stimulatory and anti-inflammatory benefits  that it imparts when its infused into the skin.  The results are Brighter, Tighter and Smoother Skin.

PRP is used in a wide variety of ways in the realm of our Plastic Surgery Practice:

As injectables for:

  • Hair restoration
  • Tear Trough / dark under eye Circles

As potent regenerative infusion agent for:

  • Micro-needling sessions
  • Micro-Infusion Gold sessions.

Client Testimonials

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 love everything about Spring Skin - the people, the treatments, the experience. If you need anything skin-related done, go here. Dr vanVliet is an incredibly skilled practitioner and the staff are amazing - friendly, knowledgeable and they create the most relaxing atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for cosmetic treatments, skin care advice, or more serious interventions, this is the place to do it. Quite simply the best.
- Allegra
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!
- Lorene
5 stars does not even begin to describe my experience at Spring Skin. From the moment I entered the tastefully decorated clinic to the welcome by the warm, friendly and professional team, I felt at ease. Dr vanVliet is very knowledgeable, professional and clearly communicated a plan tailored for me. My skin looks at feels fantastic. I love how I look- refreshed and natural, not overdone. I would highly recommend Spring Skin Clinic, Dr vanVliet and her incredible team and I look forward to booking some further services in the future.
- Kathy
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.
- Sibeal Foyle
I was ecstatic to see this clinic open up on Salt Spring, and havent been disappointed. Dr vanVliet and her staff are an absolute delight, and they make every treatment comfortable and fun.
