Visitors usually enjoy massages, hydrotherapy, skin treatments and other aesthetic solutions. A medical spa in Calgary can be a place of respite, but it also serves as a conduit to healing and medical treatment, as clinical professionals can determine the cause of pain and physical difficulty of their patients, and help find solutions.

History of the Medical Spa in Calgary

In the late 1980s, the idea of a medical spa came into the forefront with the advent of alpha hydroxyl acids and the original Collagen injectable. The idea of performing minor medical procedures in an environment most people used as a place of relaxation and rejuvenation was compelling. It was also noted that, while patients often delay important treatments due to the stress of being in a traditional clinic or doctor’s office, their fears […]

Summer is a time to celebrate natural beauty. Indeed, with such a wonderful chance to spend time at the beach or the cabin, who has time to worry about putting on makeup?

Of course, for many people, the thought of going “au naturale” can be daunting. Most of us have wrinkles, noticeable pores, and skin discoloration that we don’t want ruining our fun in the sun, and taking away from our sun-kissed summer glow. And on top of that, many of us consider eye makeup a must have for any public outing, and can’t bear the thought of leaving the house without it.

We always stress the importance of finding a high quality medical spa. Finding a reputable medical spa, and a location with staff you can trust is of the utmost importance.

The single largest advantage a medical spa has is the knowledge of the staff. Doctors who can listen to your needs and help identify the right treatment are an essential first step.  Although essentially all procedures available at a medical spa are extremely safe and unlikely to cause injury, this always assumes well-trained staff members are using the device correctly over the course of your treatment.

This article will provide an overview of things to consider when seeking out a medical spa in Calgary. We’ll be looking at three main areas that can be used to identify reputable medical spas: who owns or operates the spa, what sort of training does the staff receive, and is their equipment safe and modern? We’ll also identify some […]

If you’re interested in weight loss or dermatological treatments normally available at medical spas you’ve probably started searching around online and found a whole array of different information about these techniques. While everyone agrees that all treatments offered at a medical spa are fundamentally safe, they are still very real procedures and should be undertaken after taking the time to educate yourself, be evaluated by an educated authority, and consider the treatment options. Because of the need for accurate information we strongly stress the importance of only going to doctor operated medical spas. Doctors have the training, experience, and expertise needed to educate you about different treatment options and provide specific information tailored to your needs. This article will look at some of the reasons to seek out a medical spa instead of a regular spa, the major benefits to going to a medical spa that is doctor operated, and why you should always do so.

If you’ve long been wondering what to do with lax skin around the face, neck, arms, or stomach you may have considered skin tightening treatments available at medical spas. These procedures have amazing potential to tighten skin that’s lost its elasticity, but they require a professional hand that can only be found in a medical spa. One of the most famous methods available is Titan Skin Tightening, a light-based treatment available in medical spas. It uses light energy to heat the area under your skin, causing collagen contraction and growth, leading to tighter skin. It’s a proven, safe, and effective way to make your skin look younger and healthier, and best of all it works with any type of skin.

Introducing the new Calgary Zerona Laser on

March 2nd, 2012 marks the 24th anniversary of the official opening of the LEFEBRE WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC in Calgary. We opened on Wednesday, March 2nd, 1988, three days after the Calgary Winter Olympics closed. It was a Leap Year that year and I recall that we were frantically putting the finishing touches to our office on Monday, Feb.29, 1988 in preparation for our opening two days later. I’ve said many times over the years that the torch went out on the Calgary Olympics on Sunday and the Lefebre Weight Loss Clinic lights went on 3 days later!

Feb.29th, 2012 marks our 7th Leap Year. Since my last Leap Year Newsletter in 2008, we made an office move in June 2009 upstairs to the 9th floor. Last summer we introduced our new and exciting Calgary Zerona Laser to our clinic. Recently, a musical jingle was created specifically […]
