About Derma Spa
It was a curiosity of new laser technology that helped launch Derma Spa in 1999. Motivated by a wave of impressive new laser skin rejuvenation and restoration concepts filtering into the medical world, Dr. Harlow Hollis and wife Jane purchased a small space down the hall from Hollis’s cosmetic plastic surgery office on Oak Bay Avenue. They began to offer services to those looking to improve their skin quality.
Encouraged by increasing public interest in laser treatments and new approaches to skin care including injectable fillers such as Botox Cosmetic, Restylane, and Juvederm, Derma Spa naturally evolved with the technology it so wholeheartedly believed in. It was not a coincidence that the spa also served to compliment Dr. Hollis’s plastic surgery practice by providing post-surgery treatment and non-surgical solutions to those looking for alternative ways to improve their looks. Derma Spa had found its niche as a modern and effective spa that produced dramatic effects for clients.
As a spa filled with lasers and injectable skin care solutions is not entirely true to the origins of spa, which has an inherent association with pure relaxation, it was always critical to Jane that it progress to include a myriad of services to indulge clients and help them relax. Over the years the small staff has grown to include licensed estheticians and registered massage therapists, as well as two registered nurses, trained laser technicians, and professional injection specialist.
Since inception, Harlow, Jane, and staff have attended numerous conferences and training workshop relating to laser and new skin-care technology, not only to learn new techniques, but to stay on top of the most advanced training offered in North America. Having established itself as the premier medical esthetic spa in Victoria, Derma Spa has secured its reputation as highly trained professional service provider that offers clients the most up-to-date treatment methods for their skin care needs.
