We are pleased to announce that Barbara Thorne has joined the office as our newest aesthetician. Barb works in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Patients who have not previously received aesthetic services in our office may see Barb and receive a 50% discount on their first facial or other aesthetic treatment through the end of the year. This is an inexpensive way to experience our signature AmerianTronic Facial Rejuvenator, as seen on "Oprah" and also seen multiple times on TLC's television show "Ten Years Younger."

We recently completed our second season of work on the television show "Ten Years Younger." If you have not yet seen the show, the patients on the show undergo a series of non-surgical treatments and enhancements designed to optimize their appearance and help them to look "Ten Years Younger." Doing the show has been a lot of fun.

During the show's first two seasons, our office treated 16 patients. We utilized all of the various modalities of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. These methods included treatments with the Fraxel Laser, Thermage, Intense Pulsed Light (FotoFacial), Vbeam Laser, Botox, Collagen, Restylane, chemical peels, and Joni's famous facials. Episodes in which we participated will air on Wednesday September 14th, Monday September 19th, and Friday September 23rd, all at 1:00 PM on The Learning Channel (TLC). "We hope you enjoy the show."

Both Dr. Mary Lee Amerian and Dr. George Anterasian recently attended the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery meeting in Orlando. This is the largest and most prestigious laser meeting in the world. We have attended this particular meeting every year for many years in order to ensure that we always offer our patients the best and most up to date treatments available. One of the most exciting aspects of the meeting was the discussion of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. At the meeting, experts from around the country consistently recommended the combination of Fraxel laser therapy and Thermage to rejuvenate the skin of the face. For this reason, our office has decided to offer a special rate on both of these procedures during the months of May and June. As the weather warms up and we head into summer, this will allow more of our patients to take advantage of the benefits of these procedures.
