| ANNOUNCING RADICAL DEPARTURE! |
|
Welcome to our first edition of the Laser Institute for Dermatology newsletter! We have so much news to share with you as a patient within our medical family, that we put our heads together and collaborated to bring you this newsletter.
First and foremost, with great pride, I’m pleased to announce the release of Radical Departure, the premiere skin care program of AVA MD products. Developed as a direct result of working as part of the Extreme Team of physicians on ABC’S “Extreme Makeover,” Radical Departure is a two week skin care kit designed to give significant results when time is of the essence. The RADICAL DEPARTURE program consists of four cutting edge products. The morning regimen includes an orange calendula based gentle cleanser with white tea extract, an elegant mist with multiple anti-oxidants from the sea and botanical sources, and followed by a light, botanical glycolic lotion with a muscle relaxing peptide. The evening regimen includes the calendula cleanser, followed by the mist, and finishing with a retinol serum. RADICAL DEPARTURE was primarily intended for women and men 35 years and older, but those in their 20s have also reported enjoying the results of this regimen. Radical Departure is available at Barney’s New York, online, and in our office. Your skin can be your most exquisite feature—clear, clean, soft and luminous. Please enjoy 15% off as our gift to you with the enclosed coupon.
*Radical Departure is not for sensitive skin |

ASK AVA
Q: What is the difference between botox and restylane?
A: Botox can prevent future wrinkles from forming, especially expression-related wrinkles, while restylane, a hyaluronic acid, can fill the wrinkles you already have. Restylane can also be used under the eyes and to plump your lips. I recommend using both together for optimum results. |
Q: At what age should you start getting a full body check by a dermatologist?
A: I would recommend annual skin body checks beginning at 25. Of course,
if you have a suspicious
growth that has changed in
size, color, or shape you
should have it looked
at immediately. |

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR NEW
MEDICAL ASSISTANTS |

CLAIRE FRANZA |
|
IRIS LEON |
| Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Claire Franza attended the very large and famous Erasmus Hall (alumni include Barbara Steisand and Neil Diamond). Healthcare was a natural choice for Claire as she loves people and is committed to educating them on proper skin care. All her free time is spent with her newborn grandson, baking, and reading bestsellers. |
|
Iris is Cuban, but came to the US when she was only nine years old! Currently attending El Camino College in Torrance studying nursing, she became a medical assistant because she’s compassionate about helping people (we certainly agree!). When she’s not at work, she likes to spend time with her twelve year old son, working out, and attending church on Sundays. |

THERMAGE:NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT |
Want tighter, smoother, younger looking skin without surgery? Thermage is a safe, effective, non-invasive procedure that renews the collagen in your skin in only one treatment. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Collagen is the building block that provides structure to your skin. Therefore, improvements are immediately visible and will continue for up to six months! The results can last for years.
As opposed to lasers, Thermage is advisable for all skin types and tones, does not require three or more treatments, and has NO downtime! The unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin’s underlayer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. Thermage is FDA approved and clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours.
Our patients are getting Thermage to the face, neck, chin, buttocks, upper thighs, lower thighs, abdomen, and eyes with exceptional results. Results will be noticeable at any age, but ages 35-60 report the greatest results.
Do you look as young as you feel? Isn’t it time to do something about it? Appointment times are filling up quickly so make yours today!
