Summer Soiree

Dr. Alex and his assistant Nora

A E Skin held its first Summer Soirée on Tuesday June 25, 2013 from 6 PM to 8 PM in the Encino office. It was a packed house with over 30 people attending the event. One night only promotions were available on all skin care products and treatments. The most popular product was the A E Skin Brightening Cream that everyone was raving about and the most popular treatment was the IPL photofacial. Everyone in attendance received a beautiful gift bag with many different skin care products. The highlight of the night was the raffle. Prizes included skin care products by both Elta MD and A E Skin as well gift certificates to Nuts N Berries Café and treatments including IPL, Micro Laser Peel, Red Carpet Peel, and Soft and Smooth Rejuvenation. Everyone won a prize! Support was generously provided by Merz Aesthetics, makers of Xeomin, and Allergan, makers of Juvéderm. Representatives from Revivogen and Clarisonic were also in attendance to speak about their products. Catering was provided by Nuts N Berries Café. The Summer Soirée was a tremendous success and we look forward to our next event in September, the second annual Red Carpet Event.
