• TATTOO-B-GONE! They were great yesterday when first applied…but now they may not be so cool. Back to new technology again at American Self. We can now offer, with confidence, TATTOO REMOVAL. Stronger, pigment-seeking laser wave lengths fade, then erase most tattoos without scars, without surgery, without abrasion. Only at the ever-expanding American Self. Thursday afternoon appointments have been reserved for tattoo removal. Caution—this may be uncomfortable. Also caution—don’t try this at home.
• In Boston Dr. Hillelson presented a workshop April 12 to plastic surgery and dermatology colleagues on Thermage radiofrequency techniques for the face, body contouring and hands. She has been a principal pioneering cosmetic surgeon for radiofrequency technology world-wide. She was recently invited back to London for a similar appearance and presentation.
• The absolute first, effective, reasonable treatment for those darned lip lines that radiate from your kissers with age. Dr. Hillelson has acquired the only new laser-based technology proven to improve—if not completely eliminate—radial lip lines that cause lipstick to bleed and detract from your pucker.
• New nursing staff additions include Terri Walden and Jill Cantelupe, bringing backgrounds and experience in marketing, finance, cosmetic surgery and additional charm and professionalism to American Self. More hands, more immediate responses. Please meet and welcome them.
• ProFractional !!! You won’t belief this. (We barely do ourselves.) Office-based, non-operative laser peels for the face that are more effective than all other laser technologies for removing fine lines of age and weather, brown pigment spots, texture hardening that detract from your natural skin beauty and youth. No chemicals, very fast recovery, no anesthesia, back to work easily after a weekend. Talk to Dr. Hillelson.
• Meet Jana Bridgman !!! Jana is yet another move upscale at American Self. A Master Esthetician—that’s right, not just another wannabe…a Master—who has joined us to offer new ideas, new experiences, NEW SCIENCE, for esthetic skin care and home tips to augment the circulation, collagen health and exfoliation from the face for ladies and men alike. Look around next time you’re in public. A lot of that skin needs common sense work, but a Master Esthetician’s work is now here. Welcome to Jana.
• Dr. Whipple was the invited Keynote Speaker at the annual meeting of orthopaedic surgeons in Sugarloaf, Maine ski resort in February. To a full house of peers and colleagues, he addressed future developments in orthopaedic surgery in a presentation titled “Beyond the Scalpel.” He also lectured on potential solutions to the inherent conflict between the insurance industry and the health care industry, including the possibility of age-specific, risk-specific specialty insurance products.
