The Dermatology office is one of first to offer the Fraxel Laser, VelaSmooth and Thermage
Santa Monica, Calif.—July 18, 2005—Santa Monica Laser and Skin Care Center, a facility offering the most technologically advanced skin care, maintains its position at the leading edge of the industry by providing the most innovative dermatologic treatments including VelaSmooth, Thermage, and the Fraxel Laser, a superior procedure that treats sun-damaged skin, age spots, and wrinkles around the eyes.
The Fraxel Laser treatment represents a cutting-edge approach to repairing aging and sun-damaged skin-pixel by pixel, spot by spot. The treatment is specially designed to affect only "fractional" volumes of skin tissue without breaking the skin's protective outer barrier, providing the benefits of rapid healing and cell turnover without negative side effects.
The benefits of the Fraxel Laser treatment include:
- Virtually every patient experiences noticeable cosmetic enhancement
- Minimal downtime-most patients resume routine activities the next day
- No painful or lengthy recuperation
- No general anesthesia
In addition to the Fraxel Laser, the Santa Monica Laser and Skin Care Center offers other innovative treatments including Thermage and VelaSmooth.
Thermage uses a patented radiofrequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool™ and is clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours by producing remodeled collagen. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy and requires no downtime from normal activities. It can also be performed on patients of all skin types.
VelaSmooth is a laser-like device that combines radio frequency and infrared light energies with tissue mobilization. These three treatment modalities work together to safely and effectively improve cellulite and re-contour the skin surface. It was officially approved by the FDA in June 2005, though Dr. Amerian was one of the few doctors chosen to offer the treatment while it was pending approval.
"Dr Anterasian and I are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced dermatologic treatments and our track record speaks for itself," said Dr. Amerian. "Our patients know they are receiving the best and safest procedures available."
Dr. Mary Lee Amerian and Dr. George Anterasian are top Los Angeles physicians, who have grown the Santa Monica Laser and Skin Care Center into one of the most successful practices in Los Angeles over the past few years. The center is located at 2336 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 209 in Santa Monica, California
