We are a boutique style medical aesthetics clinic conveniently located 1 block from Chinook Mall, and offer a variety of services in a warm, welcoming, and professional environment.

After Michelle's many years working in the aesthetics industry, she wanted to create a unique aesthetic experience, one that is professional yet warm and empowering; offering a variety of result driven aesthetic services and products offered at competitive prices without pushy sales tactics while giving back to the community. So, DermNurse was opened at this location August 2017, and we have been growing ever since.
