Getting a cosmetic procedure can be scary. Patients want to know that the experience will deliver flawless results, and the best way to ensure that outcome is by finding a provider with expertise you can trust. At Beacon Dermatology, a Calgary-based state-of-the-art dermatology centre, the team of board-certified dermatologists is committed to providing the highest level of care and results.
Beacon Dermatology offers a wide range of cosmetic services with the latest devices and tools, but guaranteed results don’t always come with the greatest tools — they come with experienced and knowledgeable providers. Dr. Andrei Metelitsa, co-founder and provider at Beacon Dermatology, has devoted his career to continued learning and becoming a world-renowned expert in cosmetic dermatology.
“I’m not okay with providing mediocre results, so for my own benefit, I want to ensure that I have all of the knowledge and expertise to be the best I can be. To do that, you have to have this high level of training and be in constant education because it’s not a stagnant field,” he says.
Specialized training
Metelitsa specializes in cosmetic dermatology and laser surgery, offering rejuvenation procedures with injections and laser treatments. Part of his passion for cosmetic dermatology stems from the flawless results he can deliver without the need for surgery. “Most of my patients request to look natural after the treatment, but the way to look natural is to see the cosmetic provider who has the most expertise,” says Metelitsa.
Metelitsa’s education goes beyond that of a standard cosmetic injector — he graduated from medical school at 23, pursued a five-year dermatology training at the University of Alberta, and after his residency, completed a one-year fellowship specializing in cosmetic surgery and lasers under the direction of Harvard and Yale faculty.
“All of this education and everything that I do is to ensure that I have the scientific knowledge and skill set to provide the best possible natural — I call it elegant — outcome for our patients.”
And it’s not just patients who benefit from his drive to become the best; many physicians go to him for help and assistance. He’s highly regarded by dermatologists worldwide; he gives keynote speeches globally on the most innovative and effective approaches to cosmetic procedures.
A drive to find the latest and greatest
There’s a culture of learning at Beacon Dermatology. Metelitsa and his team are continuously involved in clinical research. In fact, Metelitsa is already exploring the treatments of tomorrow — he has about a dozen clinical trials for new cosmetic treatments on the go. Over the years, he’s been involved in hundreds of trials and was even the lead physician in charge of the Dysport launch in Canada in 2013, the latest prescription injection at the time. He’s currently training physicians around the world on how to use the latest and most improved liquid neurotoxin, which will soon be available in Canada.
“By constantly pioneering aspects of the newest treatments — whether it’s conducting clinical trials on the newest therapies or flying around the world and educating others about techniques that are not even available in Canada — it ensures our patients in Calgary benefit from all of the latest innovations that are backed scientifically, but also done in an appropriate manner by a true expert.”
