KERRISDALE SKIN MEDICAL
Founded in 2008, Kerrisdale Skin Medical is a modern medical aesthetics clinic that has become a destination for clients seeking noninvasive cosmetic treatments.
Over the past sixteen years, the clinic has built a reputation as a caring space where every client is treated like family. Many have remained for over a decade, a true testament to their satisfaction.
Co-owner Pennie Ren is one of the driving forces behind the clinic’s continued success. Along with her business partner Brenda Fung, she has helped shape Kerrisdale Skin Medical into one of Vancouver’s top aesthetics clinics.
“We’re powered by a young, dynamic team passionate about medical aesthetics in a thriving and fast-evolving industry,” says Pennie. “Clients choose us for our personalized, one-on-one care, highly trained and certified professionals, and safe, natural-looking results.”
The loyalty we’ve built reflects the consistency and trust we offer in every visit.
The team includes medical professionals, nurses, certified skin therapists, and front desk coordinators who all share a commitment to excellence.
Dr. Eileen Fan, a licensed medical doctor, is known for her thoughtful, patient-centred approach. She offers expert care while educating clients about treatments and skin health. Clients appreciate her honesty and professionalism. One shares, “I’ve visited many clinics, but none as professional and kind as Kerrisdale Skin Medical. The doctor took the time to explain everything patiently.”
Registered nurse Kevin Li, who previously specialized in burn and reconstructive surgery in China, brings years of experience in skin science research to his practice in Canada. One client remarks, “Kevin is hands down the best injector I’ve ever met. I fly from Alberta just to see him.”
The approximately 3,000 square-foot clinic includes eight rooms, six of which are dedicated treatment rooms featuring state-of-the-art technology.
Kerrisdale Skin Medical specializes in noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments designed to enhance natural beauty without surgery or long recovery periods. From Botox and dermal fillers to Ultherapy, laser rejuvenation, and medical-grade facials, each treatment is tailored to individual needs and goals.
Ultherapy is a client favourite. Using focused ultrasound technology, the treatment stimulates collagen deep within the skin, creating a natural lifting effect, especially around the jawline, neck, and face. It’s painless, requires no recovery time, and produces visible results over time.
Botox remains one of the most popular services. It’s a quick and highly effective way to smooth fine lines and prevent deeper wrinkles.
“Clients love how subtle and natural the results look,” Pennie notes. “They still look like themselves, just more refreshed.”
Before any treatment, clients undergo a thorough skin analysis using professionalgrade scanning technology. Trained technicians assess everything from hydration and pigmentation levels to pore size, sensitivity, and signs of aging. This detailed insight allows the team to design highly personalized plans that ensure safe, measurable improvements.
Clients benefit in a variety of ways — achieving smoother, firmer skin; reducing wrinkles and fine lines; enhancing facial contours; and improving overall skin tone and texture. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting, offering a non-surgical option for those seeking rejuvenation. Key areas that can be treated include the face, neck, jawline, eye area, and even parts of the body such as the arms, stomach, and thighs.
We love when clients tell us they feel seen and supported, that they’re not just coming in for a treatment, but for an experience,” says Pennie.
“It’s quite common for friends to book treatments together,” Pennie adds. “We often welcome bridal parties who want to prepare their skin for the big day.”
While many of Kerrisdale Skin Medical’s clients live in Kerrisdale, others travel from Alberta, Seattle, and across the Lower Mainland.
The clinic also sells SkinCeuticals, a highend medical-grade skincare line. Their consistent volume and expertise have earned them the brand’s Gold Award, a reflection of their dedication to both treatment and product knowledge.
For Pennie, Brenda, and their team, the most meaningful part of the job isn’t accolades, although being named one of Vancouver’s Top 5 Botox clinics is certainly worth celebrating; it’s the emotional impact they see every day.
Aesthetics isn’t just about beauty — it’s about self-care, confidence, and feeling good in your skin,” says Pennie. “At Kerrisdale Skin Medical, we don’t just offer treatments — we build longterm relationships with our clients and grow with them through every stage of life.”
