Hi, I'm
Dr. Alain Michon.
Hi, I'm
Dr. Alain
Michon.
My practice in the field of medical aesthetics grew from my education at the University of Ottawa, where I studied Family Medicine in 2006 and Emergency Medicine in 2007, with training in dermatology and plastic surgery.
I have since earned a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dermatology and a Master of Science in Aesthetic Medicine from the prestigious Queen Mary University of London in the United Kingdom, and graduated with Distinction in both programs. I also earned a Master of Science in Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine (with Mention) from the University of Manchester, UK.
As a physician, I provide a fresh, compassionate approach to medical aesthetics. I advocate for transformation through self-love and self-care as means to acknowledge, accept, and appreciate one’s innate, true beauty.
I educate my community and patients using evidence-based medicine, photographs of real results, and a focus on full-body wellness. My work in medical aesthetics achieves natural, soft results atypical of ‘traditional’ cosmetic interventions, using a holistic approach.
My goal is to always welcome and encourage everyone to be their best self — to remake, rebuild, or be reborn according to their own personal journey.

Beauty is brave.
Trends come and go, but true beauty is forever.
I’ve dedicated my career to helping my patients and community members explore and embrace their own definition of beauty.
We all possess the potential to acknowledge and accept ourselves unconditionally. It takes courage to learn to love ourselves, but with this brave act, we grant ourselves the freedom to also love and accept others.
When we give ourselves the gift of unconditional self-acceptance, we acknowledge the fundamental truth that we are all truly beautiful, inside and out.
My mission is to transform perspectives on the nature of beauty.
I will raise awareness about the beauty that exists around and within ourselves, and I will show people how to celebrate that beauty.
I will destigmatize beauty and aesthetic medical treatments.
I will establish and uphold an ongoing, educational dialogue about the important role aesthetic medical treatments play in celebrating and defining beauty.
I will promote full-body wellness.
I believe that good health is achieved through the combination of physical wellness and mental wellness, and that the resulting full-body wellness then leads to radical self-acceptance.
One of us.
The Dr. Michon Community brings like-minded people together — people who are supportive, inclusive, and proponents of celebrating personal definitions of beauty with an emphasis on medical aesthetics.
As the community leader, I share evidence-based content to educate people on medical aesthetics and demystify the beauty industry. My goal is to inspire conversation, answer questions, and offer myself as an accessible and helpful resource.
It is an online space dedicated to connection and kindness, and it is a safe place to share personal journeys to self-acceptance.
