ReNue, a group of doctor-led aesthetic medicine clinics headquartered in Calgary, Alberta announced the acquisition of Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skincare (“BC Laser and Skincare”), British Columbia’s largest laser and skincare clinic located in Surrey, BC. The ReNue medical aesthetetic clinics were acquired by FYidoctors in December 2019.
Founded in 2000 by Dr. Sachit Shah, a practitioner with over 30 years of experience, BC Laser and Skincare provides laser and cosmetic procedures. The doctor-led clinic houses over 20 different medical and aesthetic devices, helping deliver a wide range of treatment options for its patients.
“We look forward to working with Dr. Shah and his team at BC Laser and Skincare,” said Dr. Jason McWhirter, VP and Chief Medical Officer of FYidoctors’ Medical Aesthetics Division. “Regarded as a reputable, experienced clinic with a patient-focused approach to aesthetic medicine, the partnership represents a shared vision for establishing a trusted, innovative aesthetic medicine brand in the Canadian marketplace and we couldn’t be more excited to build on this together.”
The acquisition marks ReNue’s continued expansion in the aesthetic medicine field, as it seeks to become a leading provider of aesthetic medicine services across Canada.
The 5,000-square-foot clinic currently serves over 35,000 patients and specializes in a variety of technologies and solutions including carbon dioxide resurfacing, body contouring and skincare treatments for all skin types.
“Our clinic has put in a lot of work to be a leader in the aesthetic medicine industry in British Columbia, and we look forward to introducing new technologies and procedures to the practice,” said Dr. Shah. “Through this alliance, BC Laser and Skincare will now have the added benefits of working with the team of experts at ReNue, and we’re thrilled to provide this to the main beneficiaries of the partnership, our patients.”
The clinic has served the community of Surrey and surrounding areas for decades and is also highly engaged in community initiatives including pro bono tattoo removal to individuals currently receiving rehabilitation services from the RCMP.
According to the company, te global non-invasive medical aesthetics market will grow to over $14 billion USD by 2021 – a figure that could increase as experts in the field have noted significant growth in revenue during the pandemic.

Bausch + Lomb announced that its exclusive ONE by ONE Recycling program has recycled nearly 27 million used contact lenses, top foils and blister packs since launching in November 2016. The program, made possible through a collaboration with TerraCycle®, a world leader in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste, has diverted more than 162,000 pounds of contact lens waste from oceans, lakes, streams and landfills.
“As a leader in the eye health industry and the originator of the first soft contact lens, we are proud to provide the ONE by ONE Recycling program to contact lens wearers to help prevent these used materials do not end up in our environment,” said John Ferris, general manager, U.S. Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “In addition, as part of our overall approach to sustainability, we continually evaluate the full life cycle of our lenses. In fact, many of our contact lenses, including Biotrue® ONEday daily disposables, are manufactured in facilities that have adopted zero-waste-to-landfill initiatives and have achieved diversion rates of 94-99% during the past few years, further supporting our longstanding commitment to doing all we can to lessen our company’s overall environmental footprint.”
Today, more than 5,500 optometry practices are registered with the ONE by ONE Recycling program. To participate, contact lens wearers can bring their used contact lenses and packaging to one of these offices, which collects the used lens materials in a custom recycling bin provided by Bausch + Lomb. Once the bin is filled, the optometry practice will ship the materials to TerraCycle for proper recycling using a pre-paid shipping label.
Additionally, for every 10 pounds of material received from the ONE by ONE Recycling Program, TerraCycle donates $10 to Optometry Giving Sight.
In 2019, Bausch + Lomb took the program one step further by repurposing the recycled waste and combining it with other recycled material to create custom training modules that were donated to the Guide Dog Foundation, a national not-for-profit that trains guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired. The modules, which included benches, tables, waste stations and an agility ramp, are used to train the dogs and to further enhance the organization’s Smithtown, New York campus for those who visit.
In Canada, the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts Recycling Program recycles Bausch + Lomb and other contact lenses and blister packs.
