Evidence-Informed, Whole-Person Aesthetic Care

At Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic Inc., we offer a selection of aesthetic and skin health services provided by licensed Naturopathic Doctors with additional training in aesthetic medicine. All services are delivered in a safe, professional, and evidence-informed environment, using a holistic approach that supports skin health from both the inside and out. Our philosophy centers on natural-looking, conservative aesthetic care that complements your individual features. We work with you to explore whether treatments may be appropriate based on your skin type, health history, and personal goals.

Cosmetic Injection Services

All injections require a clinical consultation and informed consent.

Neuromodulator Injections (BOTOX® Cosmetic, Nuceiva®, Xeomin®)

Neuromodulator injections use botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein, in small doses. These substances are administered into specific muscles to temporarily reduce muscle activity, which may support a smoother appearance of areas such as:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines between the eyebrows

• Fine lines around the eyes (commonly known as “crow’s feet”)

Treatments are offered using a “less is more” approach, with attention to preserving natural expression. Individualized treatment plans are discussed during your medical consultation. As with all procedures, outcomes vary from person to person, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Fillers

HA fillers such as Juvederm®, Teosyal®, and Restylane®—are used to support facial structure and volume. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body, and are gradually metabolized over time.

Potential treatment areas may include:

• Cheeks and midface

• Lips and perioral area

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Jawline or chin support

HA fillers are reversible and adjustable, and their use depends on individual assessment and suitability. Treatment goals and safety considerations are always reviewed in detail before proceeding. As with all procedures, outcomes vary from person to person, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a device containing tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, which may support the production of collagen and elastin.

Microneedling is considered for individuals looking to address concerns such as:

• Uneven skin tone or texture

• Fine lines

• Acne or surgical scars

• Hyperpigmentation or sun damage

Most people experience mild redness after the procedure, similar to a sunburn. A topical numbing agent is applied prior to treatment to support comfort. A series of sessions may be recommended depending on the individual's skin and goals. Suitability is determined through a pre-treatment consultation.  As with all procedures, outcomes vary from person to person, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Microneedling may not be appropriate for individuals with:

• Active skin infections

• Herpes outbreaks

• Certain chronic skin conditions

• Keloid scarring tendencies

Chemical Peels

At our clinic, we provide AlumierMD professional chemical peels as part of individualized skin care plans. These treatments use carefully selected exfoliating ingredients to help remove the outer layers of skin and support the skin’s natural renewal process. Chemical peels may be used to address concerns such as uneven skin tone, texture changes, or acne-prone skin. Your treatment plan is tailored based on your skin type, goals, and tolerance level. We will review your skin health, discuss options first and ensure you are informed about what to expect before, during, and after treatment. These treatments are provided by trained practitioners using professional-grade products. Book a consultation to discuss whether a chemical peel is an appropriate option for your skin care needs.

Skin Health Consultations

Skin health is an important part of overall wellbeing. Our Naturopathic Doctors offer comprehensive skin health consultations to assess internal and external contributors to your skin’s condition—such as hormonal imbalances, digestion, inflammation, stress, and nutrient status.

As part of your individualized plan, your practitioner may suggest:

• Clinical-grade or natural topical skin care products or treatments

• Pharmaceutical treatments

• Nutritional and lifestyle recommendations

• Hormone or metabolic testing, if clinically indicated

• Supplementation or botanical support

• Integrative therapies such as acupuncture or IV nutrient therapy (if appropriate)

We focus on helping you build a skin care plan that supports your long-term wellness and is suited to your unique needs.

 Product Support

We carry a curated range of skin-supportive products, including:

• AlumierMD

• Province Apothecary

• Custom formulations

These can be recommended during consultations and are intended to complement your individualized treatment plan.
