Timing Is Everything with Hair Removal
At Dr. Perron’s, one of our most popular non-invasive treatments is laser hair removal. After all, no one is a big fan of plucking, shaving, waxing, or applying harsh depilatory creams only to have the hair come right back in a couple weeks. It would seem simple to use a laser to get rid of…

Augmentation is Popular
Breast augmentation has been one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in Canada for many years. While it’s harder to get concrete numbers in Canada, for comparison, in the U.S. in 2017 over 300,000 American women opted to augment their breasts. That was up three percent from 2016. Dr. Perron has noticed a similar increase…

What Do Your Eyes Say About Your Age?
The eyes have it. While this is a take on the usual “ayes have it” from parliamentary procedure in Ottawa, it is really true — the eyes do have it. When asked, most people say the eyes are the first thing they notice when looking at another person, particularly for the first time. This is…

Liposuction Away the Unwanted Fat this Winter
While we pride ourselves on taking winter in stride in Calgary, we still put away our shorts and bathing suits for a few months (except for those polar bear plunge contestants!).

Do You Want Higher Breasts or Larger Breasts…or Both?
If people were asked to name the most hated aspect of aging, at least visually, most people would say the sagging and loosening of, well, basically everything.

Zapping the Hair for Good
No one likes shaving. Well, maybe your 14-year-old son who has just started sprouting a few facial hairs thinks shaving is cool, but everyone else hates it. Shaving away unwanted hair is annoying, as well, because you do it over and over and over again. If you’ve ever seen that American movie Groundhog Day, where…

Restylane, the Original Dermal Filler
Trying to fill wrinkles by injecting substances under the wrinkle is nothing new. For hundreds of years, various substances have been injected, with widely varying degrees of success and safety, to try and push back upward wrinkled skin. Of course, all of that changed in 2002 when the United States’ FDA approved Botox for aesthetic…

Hair Transplantation
Hair loss can impact a person’s self-esteem. It seemed like just yesterday when we had a full head of hair, and then all of the sudden it’s gone. It can make you feel helpless. But Dr. Perron provides hair transplantation for his patients to regain a natural-looking hairline. What is hair transplantation? Even if they…

Stop the Teasing at School with Ear Surgery
Teasing and school go together almost as much as the 90s New Jersey Devils and uncalled interference penalties. But while a kid may get some needling for a bad Christmas sweater, he or she shouldn’t get any grief because their ears stick out. Dr. Perron performs ear surgery to bring children’s ears closer to the…

Exfoliation Through Mighty Crystals — Microdermabrasion
Everyone knows that exfoliation is the key to great looking skin. Our epidermis, the skin’s outer layer, is covered with dead skin cells and impurities that can make it appear dull. Men get exfoliation of much of their face every time they shave. For women, microdermabrasion is a form of forced exfoliation to expose the…
