In a field where development doesn’t always make friends, Dr. Martin Braun, founder of Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre, embraces a philosophy that challenges the status quo.“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
This quote by George Bernard Shaw captures Braun’s approach to innovation. His willingness to push boundaries and question established norms has positioned him as a global leader in both aesthetic and regenerative medicine in Canada, forging a path that redefi nes wellness from the inside out.With decades of experience and a track record as Canada’s fi rst provider of laser hair removal, Dr. Braun now turns his focus toward the vast possibilities of regenerative medicine a field he believes will transform health optimization on a global scale and become a trillion dollar business.
With Dr. Braun at the helm, Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre continues to push the boundaries of aesthetic and regenerative medicine.
“Stem cells, exosomes, growth factors, peptides, and hormones will all be a part of this new paradigm,” he says. “Beauty truly is more than skin deep. By optimizing our internal health, we enhance our youthfulness who doesn’t want clear, glowing, radiant skin?”
At Vancouver Laser, Dr. Braun and his team many of whom have been with him for more than 20 years — are delivering visible, lasting results by integrating advanced technologies like lasers, radiofrequency, microneedling, and ultrasound with cutting-edge cellular biostimulants. While combination therapies are highly eff ective, pairing them with regenerative medicine elevates results to an entirely new level.Dr. Braun’s forward-thinking approach extends to cutting-edge treatments involving exosomes and stem cells. Exosomes, tiny particles that cells use for communication, are a game-changer in regenerative aesthetics, especially when paired with laser treatments to maximize anti-infl ammatory effects.
“I recently underwent two stacked energy-based treatments that should have left me red and swollen for days,” explains Dr. Braun. “But with exosome infusion, swelling vanished, and redness faded instantly. These regenerative technologies are truly remarkable.”In his practice, Dr. Braun uses exosomes derived from stem cells, which can transform into multiple cell types, producing cells necessary for tissue repair and regeneration. While current regulations in Canada limit stem cell therapies to clinical trials, Braun sees vast potential in regenerative treatments that responsibly harness these cells.

To continue his cutting-edge work, in 2021, Dr. Braun founded R·MEDYMD, a hub for innovation in maintaining and supporting optimal health and achieving complete body confi dence. Derived from the word “remedy,” meaning to cure, put right, or correct, R·MEDYMD values an enhanced patient experience and focuses on providing quality services and expert care. The team’s highly personalized and customizable approach to health and beauty allows each patient the opportunity to discover what works best for them. Today, R·MEDYMD has three main branches across the Lower Mainland, including R·MEDYMDFunctional Medicine, R·MEDYMD Executive Health, and R·MEDYMD Aesthetics Centre.Braun’s dedication to this emerging field has earned him invitations to speak at prestigious global conferences, showcasing Vancouver Laser as a leader in integrative and preventive health.
He advocates for ethical practices and patient autonomy, noting other countries, including South Korea, have successfully advanced regenerative therapies through physician-government collaboration. At the recent Regenerative Aesthetic Exosome Summit in Seoul, where Braun was a guest speaker, he observed the role of South Korea as an epicenter for innovative aesthetics, exporting their advancements globally.“Many of our diseases have an infl ammatory root, and addressing infl ammation is essential for healthier tissues,” says Dr. Braun. “Conventional medicine often relies on corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, which can carry severe side eff ects.

His holistic, future-focused approach underscores the importance of enhancing “health span,” not just “life span,” and using the latest in regenerative medicine to support well-being at every stage of life.“There are multiple ways to enhance health with the goal of a more fulfi lling and energetic life,” he says. “The fi rst rule in longevity medicine is to stay alive to make use of every available resource to keep your body systems in peak condition so that they can take advantage of the next breakthrough around the corner.”With Dr. Braun at the helm, Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre continues to push the boundaries of aesthetic and regenerative medicine, proving that Vancouver has the potential to become a global hub for transformative, integrative health solutions.
