What are
IPL ACNE TREATMENTS?
Acne is among the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting up to 50 million people each year in the United States alone.
Research shows that up to 55% of adults aged 20 to 40 suffer from low-grade acne and oily skin. But no matter how common it is, acne is still a struggle to live with. The good news is you don’t have to anymore.

OVAL'S KELOWNA ACNE TREATMENT
With the right treatment for acne reduction, you can effectively target both the cause and visible symptoms of acne-related skin conditions like above. Devices using IPL, or intense pulsed light, can be used for acne reduction.
Venus Concept’s Venus Versa™
Venus Versa™ acne treatments use dual lights that work to heal existing acne-related inflammation, while also destroying acne-causing bacteria to minimize future breakouts.
How IPL Blue and Red Light Work Together
Blue light destroys acne-causing bacteria, while the red light controls inflammation and promotes faster healing.

How do you treat acne?
We use a 1064nm laser to bulk heat the skin, which helps to induce the body’s natural healing cascade. Since it is working by heating the tissue, the heat alone will kill acne-causing bacteria present and allow for the skin to detoxify itself. For very congested skin, this is an ideal treatment as we are able to manually extract blackheads, whiteheads and pustules.
Can you treat my acne scars?
Yes, absolutely we can!

My skin has never looked so good. I am seeing wonderful results from my 5D Facelift. My skin is more vibrant and is getting tighter with each treatment. I'm loving my treatments with Tara!

Signature 5D Facelift is an amazing & relaxing experience.Tara is an expert with smoothing sagging skin. Tara's 5D non evasive facelift tightens sagging skin on my chin, cheeks and neck.
Christa J.
Tara is amazing!!! I live up north and have been struggling with horribly dry sky etc. I booked the 5D Skin Tightening and honestly didn’t have a clue what to expect! The service was top notch. You can tell Tara truly cares about what she does as she was just as excited as me seeing the results happening over the weeks. I’m also using her face line now and so far so good!! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her and can’t wait to get back so I can continue with my treatments!
Sean U.
Great experience every time I visit. I tried laser 15 years ago with unsatisfactory results. The results I have experienced at Tara’s clinic are perfect and so far seem to be permanent. Tara and Lee are very friendly and outgoing. I would highly recommend this clinic!

At almost 66 I wanted to do something about my face, neck and décolletage due to age spots and wrinkles and booked myself in to see Tara who suggested the 5D Signature Facelift! I am so happy with the results- my skin texture is firmer, age spots greatly diminished . I noticed a big difference in my neck - firmer and more defined. Tara offers a wealth of experience and knowledge and products that are professional and effective to keep you looking your best. I highly recommend Oval Medical Laser Aesthetics. I had a lengthy consultation with Tara first and am so glad that I decided on the 5D Signature Facelift as the result is fabulous. I look and feel 10 years younger and my confidence is back. I definitely give 5 stars ✨ Try a free consultation and the 5D Signature Facelift fits the budget too!

Marika S.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing the first treatment of Tara’s signature 5D facial and I am beyond thrilled already! Very much looking forward to the end results. I love popping into the clinic. They are always so welcoming and it has such a positive feel that I don’t want to leave! She’s an expert in skin care so go have a visit.
Leah M.
I had an IPL and DP4 treatment yesterday. This was my first time trying the DP4. I was a bit nervous, as I would imagine most people are when trying out a new treatment, but I was surprised at how comfortable it was. My face and neck were slightly red after the treatment, but a few hours later the redness had disappeared and I was completely comfortable going out for dinner with friends. Today my neck and under eyes are ever so slightly sensitive, but very minor. I highly, highly recommend booking an appointment with Tara to try out the new DP4.
Jason S.
I have been struggling with rosacea and redness all my life. I tried the IPL treatment and noticed a significant improvement just after one treatment!! Tara and her staff are knowledgable and make you feel very comfortable!! I strongly recommend trying this treatment if you suffer from rosacea.

Shannon O.
Best Laser Clinic I’ve been to in Kelowna. I have spend thousands of 💲💲 over the last 5years at other clinics with no success.After only 1 treatment, there was a significant improvement in hair density and how long treatment lasted. Not to mention the torturous pain I had been enduring for so many painful years.Tara’s laser system is very high tech with an instant cooling system which greatly changes the unpleasant experience like most other lasers cause.Her Red Carpet Facial was amazing and made my very dry skin feel the best it’s ever felt “like butter” and the treatment lasted.Tara is very educated & knowledgeable about skin care, treatments & anti-aging.I Highly recommended Oval Medical Aesthetics for both men & women.Shannon O’Gorman

The moment you walk in the door you are transported to a bright and newly renovated space that has been tastefully decorated. There is such a calm beauty in this space with two large treatment rooms, a waiting area and reception centre. A lot of love and hard work went into creating Oval Aesthetics and it shows. Brava!Tara Graves has a vast wealth of knowledge that has allowed her to achieve the highest level of standards in laser aesthetics. Tara will custom design a treatment plan for you, not falling into the one size fits all mould. I have completed a series of three, 5D Facelift treatments and my skin has never felt so smooth and looked so healthy. I'm so in love with the transformation. My skin was suffering from pigmentation, wrinkles, scaring, not to mention rosacea.I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skin.

I had the pleasure of coming to Tara for an IPL treatment and I am beyond thrilled with the results.I have to admit, not having a treatment anything like this before I was nervous, but Tara was so informative, helped me feel relaxed and then results were better then I expected.I couldn't believe how quickly some of my darkest, unwanted sunspots went away. Also my skin felt so much smoother.THANK YOU TARA!!!

Skye S
Tara's 5D Facelift is my favorite package.. I love this treatment because it uses multiple lasers which all target different things.. (fine lines, skin tightening, sun spots).. the other day I was looking at old photos and could not believe how many sun spots I had a few years ago, that are no longer there.. I was kind of shocked.. lol.. Clearly the 5D has been doing its job and will always be part of my self care routine going forward.. Side note - the new clinic is gorgeous !
Louwinda H.

I met Tara years ago when I went for a facial. She was both very personable and professional she made you feel very comfortable while on the table.

Vanessa G.
Where to begin?? I moved to Kelowna nearly 3 years ago to attend UBCO and crossed paths with Tara along the way. She allowed me to work alongside her as a volunteer and eventually as an employee to shadow the amazing work that she does. She treats a variety of men and women for many skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, texture, scarring, body contouring, hair removal, and her most popular - the 5-D facelift. I highly recommend seeing Tara for your next treatment!!

Oval offers a comfortable, clean atmosphere with extremely personable staff. Tara tailors your personal needs and revisits her planning based on your results after each treatment.

I would definitely recommend Oval.

So, I’m a 55 year old trans woman, recently “out” and searching for ways to help better express my feminine identity. For me, removal of my facial and chest hair is a necessary, but scary part of my journey. I did quite a bit of research, and Tara was by far the most recommend person I could find. As soon as I walked through the door, her manner, her obvious skill and huge experience, put me at ease. She really knows what she is doing, and her confidence, gave me confidence. My fear, and my unwanted hair are gone. I feel confident and beautiful when I go out, or look in a mirror. Thank you Tara!!! So very glad I chose you to help me on my journey!!!
Mandi S

I had a very enlarged pore that nothing was able to fix or shrink. It was an ongoing problem. With the support of Oval and the 5D facial treatment it healed, and was no longer unsightly. Tara is extremely knowledgeable and such a delight to work with. Her skill and down to earth practical approach gave me such trust in the process. Rae, her assistant, is very competent and skilled as well. The office is warm and friendly environment with the service attitude that excels. Thank you for everything, Oval!
Lisa M.
I absolutely recommend Tara Graves at OVAL Aesthetics! She is extremely knowledgable and approachable. I’ve never had someone talk to me for 45 minutes for a consultation and answer all my questions thoroughly without pushing me to get a particular treatment done! We had time to discuss my concerns and how best to approach them. Her recommendations made very good sense and were geared to my needs. And the results were amazing. I’ve never been happier with my skin. I completely trust Tara and truly believe she is the best of the best. A++++++
