HISTORY

Cosmetic Laser & Vein Centre was the first clinic west of Toronto to offer comprehensive varicose and spider vein removal, along with other cosmetic laser surgery options. Since opening in Calgary in 1985, we have treated over 60,000 patients and trained over 300 physicians locally, nationally, and internationally. We have trained physicians in the practice of varicose and spider vein removal, as well as in the delivery of laser corrective surgery and other cosmetic laser surgery treatments in Calgary and beyond.

Centre Director Dr. Louis Grondin has devoted himself to the study and treatment of venous disease. The gold standard for treating varicose veins and for spider vein removal is injection therapy or Sclerotherapy. Early in his career, at the request of his patients, he began exploring the possibility of introducing cosmetic laser surgery to his existing practice. With his artistic eye, as well as his knowledge of laser corrective surgery and his knowledge of anatomy, it was a natural step to introduce laser surgery and Lipo-Sculpture (now known as body sculpting) to the practice.

Dr. Grondin pioneered Ultrasound Guided Injection Therapy (Echosclerotherapy) and Ultrasonographic Mapping of the venous system. He is a world-renowned lecturer and instructor in this technique. He was the first physician to treat the Saphenous vein using Ultrasound Guided Catheter Injection, as well as pioneering an innovative technique (Micro-Foam Sclerotherapy) used in treating stubborn varicose veins. Endovenous laser surgery now offered at the Centre, is an exciting alternative to surgical vein removal. Dr. Grondin and the professional staff at Cosmetic Laser & Vein Centre stand at the forefront of medical technology, and maintain a world-renowned reputation by disseminating these ground breaking techniques in lecturing held around the globe.

Since then, Dr. Grondin has developed expertise in many aspects of cosmetic surgery to the point where the Centre has received accreditation as a Non-Hospital Surgical Facility (NHSF) in 1998. Under his guidance, it became a world recognized training centre for physicians in venous diseases and other advances in cosmetic surgery and is certified to perform Tumescent Lipo-Sculpture, micro-vascular surgery (Ambulatory Phlebectomy), laser corrective surgery (Endovenous laser surgery), and cosmetic laser surgery (laser resurfacing, mole removal, etc.).

Our Centre is a state of the art facility that is committed to the development and implementation of the latest surgical techniques and cosmetic treatments.
