Did you know?

Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and Alpha-Linoleic Acid, including avocados, salmon, flaxseed and olive oil, can benefit your skin’s health and give you softer, supple skin. In contrast, vegetable oil, red meats, white bread and sugary processed foods can cause inflammation and accelerate aging of your skin.

As such, smart lifestyle choices and a healthy diet all contribute to healthy, glowing skin. But when your skin needs a little boost, we’re here for you!

From our Skin Deep and Exfoliating Clear Skin Facials, to our Micro-Zone Treatments and Clinical Fire and Ice Facial, our treatments and customized facials at our Yaletown Clinic use European facial techniques and high frequency machines to leave your skin noticeably hydrated and rejuvenated!

Your skin plays an important part in regulating your body’s temperature and acts as your body’s thermostat. When temperatures rise, sweat glands activate to cool your body down—which is especially necessary with this week’s hot temperatures!

But do you suffer from Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating? Although research is now indicating that it’s likely genetic, this condition can cause great anxiety and embarrassment, affecting one’s social and professional life.

Whether your condition is on your hands, feet, underarms or elsewhere, our therapeutic Botox injections at our Yaletown Clinic can help effectively relieve you of the symptoms and discomfort. While topical medicines may be insufficient, our simple, non-surgical treatments have minimal discomfort and can quickly help you feeling confident again!

As a Skin Care Therapist and a BBLs Specialist, Betty helps her clients achieve their skin care goals. By specializing in acne treatment and extractions, and performing skin tightening, hair reduction and photo-rejuvenation treatments, Betty’s main goal is to help her clients feel confident and fall back in love with their skin.

Did you know?

Your face may be aging faster, just based on your sleeping position! If you sleep on your side or face down, you’re actually causing fluid to accumulate in your face overnight, which can create permanent wrinkles over time.

Sleeping on your back is the only way to mitigate this, but you shouldn’t have to worry while you’re sleeping!

Since aging is inevitable, our simple Botox treatments at Care Point Gold can help you be proactive with reducing facial lines. From crow’s feet, to smile or neck lines, these treatments can reduce the appearance of aging and keep you looking young!

We’ve all got that something we are self-conscious about, and for many men and women, it’s the amount of hair we have on certain areas of our body.

Whether you’re unsatisfied with your arms, upper lip, legs or bikini line, or you have an underlying medical condition, our laser hair removal procedure at Care Point Gold can leave you with 70-95% of your unwanted hairs permanently reduced!

Unlike traditional laser hair removal techniques, our BBL technology uses intense pulsed light to target different depths and remove different sizes of hair follicle, in order to provide consistent, safe and quick results!

Did you know?

Your skin is your heaviest organ and accounts for about 16% of your bodyweight. Being the most exposed part of your body, toxins seep through your skin daily, particularly on your face and hands, creating damaged and dull skin over time.

But with our Chemical Peel treatments at Care Point Gold, we can infuse your skin with a solution that deeply exfoliates and causes layers of aged / damaged skin to fall off, creating brighter and toned skin! Not only that, but with a few sessions, this treatment can also reduce the appearance of blemishes, scars and fine lines!

To significantly improve the appearance of your skin, book your appointment with Dr Christopher Pavlou:

Did you know?

At the age of 30, our body’s ability to combat the signs of ageing is diminished, as we lose 10% of our skin’s firming collagen fibers annually. Stress, poor diet, pollution, and sun exposure all contribute to sagging skin and looking older than you actually are.

But with our SkinTyte procedure that uses intense light pulse technology, known as BBLs, we can heat your skin cells to tighten them and help stimulate new collagen growth for firmer and younger looking skin!

Approximately every 28 days, we create a new layer of skin.

As new cells form and push their way to the surface, dead cells settle on the surface, causing enlarged or clogged pores, an uneven texture, and a dull appearance. Unfortunately as we age, this can lead to the appearance of older skin with less radiance.

But to help your skin appear smoother and brighter, Care Point Gold WholeHealth offers Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion treatments—a safe and effective exfoliation that removes approximately 20-25 microns of dead skin cells, with no downtime or discomfort!

He developed a proprietary approach to pain management that does not require the use of opioids for patients with musculoskeletal pain.

He is also the co-developer of the FaceMaster®, popularized by Suzanne Somers, which is a popular home device for toning and rejuvenating the facial muscles.

Did you know?

As much as Vancouverites love the sun, it causes an estimated 90% of skin aging. By the time you’re 18, you would have been exposed to only 23% of the sunshine that you will encounter in your life, and as that number accumulates, it inevitably causes wrinkling, sagging, and dark spots.

But don’t worry, we’re here for you.

At Care Point Gold WholeHealth in Yaletown, We offer a variety of skin brightening and wrinkle reduction treatments, such as micro-needling or chemical peels, to help you look and feel young again!

To learn more, call 604-683-3220 or visit carepoint.ca, sprucebodylab.com, carepointgold.ca
