Yet, V-MediSpa in southwest Calgary is much more, serving as a hybrid of relaxation services and medical treatments for its clients. Owner Dr. Adriaan Viljoen has been a trusted professional in the industry for 12 years. He’s one of the top injectors in Alberta and in the country. Viljoen says his team is constantly learning about new advancements in cosmetic medicine in order to bring them to their clients. “We attend several international conferences each year to make sure we provide world-class service to our clients,” he says.

The spa also offers services to tighten and resurface the skin, contour the body, treat acne and acne scarring, remove tattoos and permanently remove hair.
V-MediSpa also uses devices such as fractionated lasers and radio frequency devices to better target trouble areas and offer patients less downtime. Before beginning any treatment, staff will sit down with each client to assess his or her goals through
“It’s not about vanity; it’s about self-esteem,” says Viljoen. “We take a holistic approach to it. The focus is really to stay soft and natural.” The mission at V-MediSpa is to help clients attain their aesthetic goals. “Our clients get more than just a service – they get a feeling of well-being and belonging. Achieving their aesthetic goals builds confidence and that is what it’s all about,” says Spa Director, Hiba El-Darazi. To that end, V-MediSpa is launching a line of advanced skin care products perfect for Calgary’s dry climate. “We focus on the hyaluronic acids that take moisture from the environment into the skin,” says Viljoen. The V-Line series of products includes an advanced acne mask, stem-cell technology and a new formation of vitamin A cream without added stabilizers and fillers.
V-MediSpa’s lineup of services includes treatments to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, vein disorders and rosacea.
“We use the gold standard of products,” says Viljoen, noting the spa’s use of Botox, Juvéderm, CoolSculpt, Pixel and Thermage.

This analysis, paired with photographs taken at the consultation, assist in identifying areas of concern, and helps staff and clients determine the best course of action. Treatments such as Botox injections can make a dramatic difference in how clients view themselves.
V-MediSpa also offers patients a medically supervised weight-loss program that includes a low-calorie diet with injections of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG). This essentially mobilizes the fat in storage so it can be burned as the primary energy source for the body. “The average weight loss is 23.4 pounds in 26 days – permanent, visceral fat loss,” says Viljoen.
