# Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre

> Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre is a privately held, physician-directed medical aesthetics clinic founded by Dr. Martin Braun in 1996. From one slow laser hair-reduction machine operated through a floppy-disk royalty system, it expanded into a broad menu of non-surgical treatments, memberships, skincare ecommerce, professional training and an unusual complimentary child-minding service. Its durable advantage is less a single device than a repeatable system: adopt technology early, train practitioners deeply, package treatments for repeat visits and remove practical barriers that keep customers away.
