Kamloops Skin Solutions

When people think about treating acne scars, they usually think about lasers first.

And for good reason. Treatments like Fraxel are excellent for improving skin texture, stimulating collagen, and resurfacing the skin.

But not every acne scar is the same. 👀

Some scars are depressed because they've lost support beneath the skin. Once the surface has been improved, continuing to resurface the area may not create the change you're hoping for. Instead, the next step might involve restoring structure underneath.

That's where treatments like filler and diluted Radiesse can play a role. Filler helps lift specific depressed scars, while diluted Radiesse also stimulates collagen to gradually improve the skin's support over time. 💅

This is why every treatment plan starts with a consultation. Your skin tells us what it needs next. ✨

First day of fall and a long day in the operation room at Kamloops Solutions calls for lunch outside! 🍂☀️

After a busy day of EVLT treatments for varicose veins, we couldn’t resist taking a little break to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Busy day, lots accomplished, and the perfect way to recharge before getting back to it!

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need a complete overhaul. It needs a good reset. 💅

A Hydrafacial works through several steps in one treatment: cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. The goal is to clear away surface buildup while replenishing the skin with hydration, leaving it looking smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.

It’s a great option when your skin is feeling dull, congested, dry, or simply a little off. Since the treatment is customizable, we can also adjust the approach based on what your skin needs at the time.

If your skin has been feeling like it needs a reset, a Hydrafacial is a great place to start. 😉

HarmonyCa is new. The idea behind it isn’t.

HarmonyCa has been getting a lot of attention because it combines two injectable technologies in one product: hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA.

Each does something different.

Hyaluronic acid provides hydration, support, and light volume. CaHA acts as a biostimulator, encouraging collagen production over time and supporting improvements in skin quality, firmness, and structure.

The combination is what makes the conversation around HarmonyCa interesting. You get an immediate structural effect from the HA alongside longer-term biostimulation from the CaHA.
But combining these two types of products is not a new concept at Kamloops Skin Solutions.

Dr. Leia-Stephen has been using customized combinations of Radiesse, a CaHA injectable, with hyaluronic acid fillers for years when the treatment plan calls for both biostimulation and subtle volume support. 🙌

For example, this type of approach works well when the concern is less about “adding volume” and more about addressing crepey texture, laxity, and changes in skin quality. The exact products, ratios, treatment areas, and number of sessions depend on the person and what we are trying to improve.

HarmonyCa offers these two components in one pre-formulated injectable. At KSS, we have taken a more customized approach by selecting and combining products based on the patient in front of us.

Same treatment concept, different approach. 💅

And this is exactly why understanding what is inside an injectable matters more than following the newest product name.

September marks the start of something we look forward to every year: laser season. 😌

All laser treatments temporarily make your skin more reactive to UV exposure. The melanocytes are sensitized and may react by producing more unwanted pigment.

As summer wraps up, most of us naturally spend less time outdoors, making fall and winter an ideal time to start treatments like Fraxel, Excel V, or Laser Genesis. ✨

Every laser has a different purpose. Some target redness, others improve pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, or overall skin texture. The best treatment depends on your skin, your concerns, and your goals.
If you’ve been thinking about laser treatments, now is the perfect time to start the conversation.
