A minimalist and relaxing decor combined with a welcoming ambiance and avant-garde care. If you have been to the Project Skin MD clinic in Vancouver, you know that it is a gem of a place. The brand is booming at the moment, and is about to open a boutique in the CF Richmond Centre. Keep an eye out for this skincare haven.

Project Skin MD: Medical Spa in Vancouver

The clinic, affiliated with the beauty brand Skinceuticals, offers above all skincare and advanced beauty services. It is possible to get your nose, cheeks, or chin modelled, and they even offer services that will help you lose a few centimetres at your waist quickly. They offer safe techniques that allow you to feel better about yourself without even considering surgery. There is an array of services, and each is well studied and analyzed before being added to Project Skin MD. Plus, Dr McGillivray’s and its team have built a solid reputation in the area since the opening.

The lobby at Project Skin MD

When I was there last year, I tried the dermaplaning technique, which consists of removing dead skin from the face using a thin blade. The hour long treatment was so relaxing — you can barely feel the blade — that I had fallen asleep. My skin was then soft and shining for weeks after. I wish this service was offered somewhere in Montreal!

The Dermaplaning technique

On top of the treatments offered in boutique, you can also purchase many skincare goods from brands like Clarisonic, Skinceuticals, Glo Minerals and Colorescience Pro, labels that all have the same philosophy as Project Skin MD. The South Granville medical spa has definitely made a name for itself in the past few years, and will be opening a new location within Richmond Centre, BC, in February 2017; The first stand alone store for SkinCeuticals in North America. A true heaven on earth for beauty enthusiasts!
