Evening of Glamour

Dr. Alex and his assistant Mikalah Gordon

A E Skin held its first Evening of Glamour on Tuesday March 19, 2013 in the Encino office. The event was a tremendous success. It was a packed house with over 30 people in attendance. Those who attended were able to take advantage of the exclusive specials. Additionally numerous prizes were raffled off including products and treatments ranging from chemical peels to Botox and laser treatments. Everyone received at least one prize. Photo opportunities on the Red Carpet were available and everyone looked beautiful. The grand prize, a $ 2,300 Ultimate Rejuvenation treatment, was given to two attendees for being the most glamorous. At the event, new products and procedures were debuted, including Xeomin, a new alternative to Botox, the Elta MD Renew eye gel for treatment of fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles, Revivogen, a product to treat hair loss, and the A E Skin Soft and Smooth Rejuvenation. Support was generously provided Merz Aesthetics, makers of Xeomin, Elta MD, Clarisonic, and Revivogen. Refreshments were provided by Nuts 'N Berries Cafe. Everyone received a gift bag on their way home. We look forward to upcoming events including the Summer Soiree in June and the Red Carpet Event in September.
