Founded on the principle that it is better to prevent illness and build health than treat disease that has already manifested, Vitamindrip® treatments deliver vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants directly to your body’s cells. When micro-nutrients are delivered intravenously (IV), higher more therapeutic levels are achieved compared to taking vitamins by mouth. For example, an antiviral effect of vitamin C has been demonstrated at a concentration of 10-15 mg/dL, a level achievable with IV therapy but NOT oral therapy as only so much can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamindrip® is scientifically formulated to be an effective adjuvant treatment of:
Asthma, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis
Upper respiratory tract infections
Migraines and fatigue
Wound healing and skin complexion is improved with amino acids that stimulate collagen growth.
Maintain a healthy body weight with active ingredients that assist in the break down of fat, improve energy and detoxify.
For anyone looking for that edge, Vitamindrip® can enhance athletic performance and speed recovery.
Some formulations include Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to improve joint pain and muscle aches and spasms.
Vitamindrip® brain and mood support have active ingredients that can boost natural levels of serotonin to help calm mood and anxiety and strengthen mental acuity.
If you are over 60 years old, screening blood work may have to be completed before IV treatment. Anyone with heart disease, severe kidney disease or undergoing cancer treatment requires a physician assessment before Vitamindrip®. Please book a complimentary consult with Dr. Brenna Haverluck to determine if you are an ideal candidate for Vitamindrip® if any of the conditions listed above apply to you!
Botox and Dysport
One of Dr Haverlucks favourite treatments! If you have not tried Botox or Dysport, you should call today for a free consult and see if this injectable is right for you.
Botox or Dysport are the most popular cosmetic procedures, likely because it is quick, no down time and results are amazing. Botox and Dysport are purified proteins that relax muscles to reduce frown lines (the angry furrow), forehead wrinkles, and crows feet. As we age our skin loses elasticity, and the repeated contraction of facial muscles is what forms deep wrinkles. People who begin this treatment early enough slow the development of permanent lines.
The procedure takes 10-15 minutes. Injections are made with a very fine needle. A bruise or redness is possible, but most leave with no marks. You will start to see the effects of Botox or Dyport in 3-7 days after injection. It lasts 4-6 months, and lasts longer the more regularly you do the procedure. Botox has been around for a long time and we know it is safe.

Dermal Filler - Teoxane and Juvederm
One of our most popular injectables. Teoxane and Juvederm are safe and natural dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in our skin. Hyaluronic acid is what adds elasticity and volume to the skin and can absorb 1000x its weight in water. Unfortunately, we lose 1% of the hyaluronic acid in our skin per year beginning at age 20! Dermal filler is injected to smooth deep lines and add volume to cheeks, lips, under the eyes, lines around the mouth and almost any other area. Injections look completely natural and can last for 1-2 years!
Can resume normal activities after treatment. After treatment there may be mild bruising or swelling, a cold compress can help.

SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM is an injectable moisturizer! SKINVIVE™ is a modified hyaluronic acid injected with very fine needles by micro droplets into multiple areas on the face and/ or neck. Hyaluronic acid, a water-attracting molecule found in your skin, naturally decreases with age and sun exposure. After 1 treatment, patients report an improved texture, glow, plumpness, smoothness and hydration of the skin on face and/or neck.
EZPRF and EZGel
The use of blood concentrates is becoming more and more popular in medical aesthetics likely because it is 100% natural, free of additives and chemicals and packed with powerful cells for skin rejuvenation.
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, which is a concentrate of your own cells. PRF involves obtaining a blood sample and separating the PRF from other blood components. PRF contains platelets, white blood cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. These are growth factors involved in the healing cascade and can promote regeneration of skin.
PRF is the newest evolution of blood concentrate therapy and has many advantages over PRP (platelet-rich plasma). PRF releases growths factors more slowly than PRP, allowing the cells to stay active longer to rejuvenate skin for a longer period of time. PRF also has a higher concentration of active cells than PRP.
PRF can be placed on the skin before and during a micro-needling treatment for an entire face rejuvenation, known as Vampire Facelift.
PRF can also be injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth if hair is thinning. Here are some hair facts for you:
- A normal head of hair has 100 follicles/cm 2.
- Hair transplant procedures transplant 60 follicles/cm 2, hoping at least 75 % will take (45 follicles /cm 2).
- 1 year after (YES, you have to be patient) a series of 4 PRF injections on average 18 follicles/cm 2 form.
PRF EZGel is a unique treatment in which your own blood is heated and cooled to construct a natural gel enhancer that can act as an additive free, 100% natural substitute for dermal filler. PRF EZGel can be injected into the skin to add volume and regenerate elasticity. PRF EZGel works especially well under eyes, in laugh lines, marionette lines and as a whole face rejuvenation.
