Image is Everything: Don’t Let Acne Scars Prevent You From Looking and Feeling Your Best

Epione — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:30:23 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – This month, Epione Medical Corporation is offering free consultations to men and women who want to be rid of unsightly acne scars once and for all. A leader in laser resurfacing treatments, Epione has developed Coolaser™, a solution that can diminish and remove even the most stubborn and severe acne scars. Finally, a results-driven treatment exists that can successfully erases both the physical and emotional damage often created by a long history of problem skin.

“Unfortunately, severe acne often scars not only the patient’s skin, but also their self-esteem,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, Epione’s medical director. “With the Coolaser treatment, we are making huge strides in helping men and women to improve the appearance of their skin, and give them back their confidence.”

Epione Beverly Hills Helps Men and Women Put Their Best Face Forward with Cutting-Edge Acne Scar Removal Treatments; Coolaser™ Laser Resurfacing and Dermal Fillers Among Most Popular Solutions for Smoother, More Even Skin Tone

Nearly 90 percent of teens and young adults experience acne, and in severe cases, scarring often occurs. In response, a number of acne scar removal products and treatments have been introduced in the marketplace, all with varying results. Epione’s Coolaser Laser Resurfacing has become the ‘treatment of choice’ for many men and women in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and surrounding areas due to the significant results the treatment has produced.

Coolaser Laser Resurfacing, the newest innovation in acne scar removal, sculpts and smoothes damaged skin without surgery, anesthesia or Accutane. During the hour-long treatment, the patient’s skin is numbed using a topical cream and a beam of light is used to remove the outmost layer of the skin. The extent of improvement that can be expected is based on the type and extent of the scarring, and results are generally long lasting.

Patients who have received the Coolaser treatment to combat acne scars have been overwhelmingly pleased with their results. “My acne scars are looking better and better,” said one patient. “The Coolaser is the only thing that has worked for me. I am very happy.” Other patients remarked that they would “recommend the treatment to anyone who is considering acne scar removal,” and that the “treatment has done everything it promised to do.”

“I had tried everything, from over the counter remedies to camouflage make-up to Retina-A, to punch grafting and dermabrasions,” said Jennifer, a 32 year-old patient who underwent Coolaser Laser Resurfacing. “Frankly, I had given up hope. I cried when I first touched my smooth skin after my first laser resurfacing; so did my mom.”

In addition to Coolaser treatments, dermal fillers, such as Juvederm®, Restylane® or Radiesse® are commonly used in cases of deep scarring. During the initial consultation and examination of the patient’s skin, the proper course of treatment – Coolaser or dermal fillers – will be determined.

“It can often be devastating to realize that once your acne has cleared, you’re left with depressed or raised scars or skin discolorations,” said Dr. Ourian. “But for men and women who are self-conscious about their acne and acne scars, it’s important to remember that this isn’t something they have to live with. Schedule a consultation with us and let’s find a tailored solution so that you can regain confidence and put your best face forward.”

Image is Everything: Three Aesthetic Treatments for Building Confidence and Looking and Feeling Your Best

Epione — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 12:30:31 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – For many people, excessive sweating, excessive hair and acne scars can lead to decreased confidence and poor self-image, which can greatly impact their ability to achieve success and happiness in a number of areas of their lives. Epione Medical Corporation, a state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery center now offers leading edge treatments for all three issues. Clients that receive treatments for acne scar removal, laser hair removal and Botox® injections for excessive sweating may experience an instant boost of confidence and renewed motivation to achieve, excel and claim true happiness.

“Our goal is to help our clients look and feel not only beautiful, but empowered,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “Image is a combination of both physical appearance and being able to project a true sense of confidence. When you don’t look or feel your best, it’s almost impossible to be confident, and it can be difficult to compete in today’s increasingly competitive world.”

Millions of people suffer from excessive sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis, causing them to feel self-conscious and embarrassed among their peers and colleagues. BOTOX® is used by Epione to treat excessive sweating. The physician uses a small needle to inject BOTOX® superficially under the skin. The treatment blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the area, inactivating the sweat glands. Clients typically see results within five to 10 days. Multiple treatments may be required.

Epione Empowers Clients for Personal and Career Success with Leading Edge Treatments for Excessive Sweating, Excessive Hair and Acne Scars

For men and women who deal with excessive hair, the condition can impact their confidence, their clothing choices and their comfortability with their bodies. Additionally, the constant need to shave and wax to remove excess hair can be a daily annoyance. Epione has performed thousands of laser hair removal procedures, using the most cutting edge lasers available. During the procedure, the laser emits a focused beam of light, which is absorbed through the pigment of the hair follicle. The light disables the follicle, offering what is often a more permanent alternative to other hair removal methods.

When pursuing success in love or the job market, everyone wants to be able to put his or her best face forward. Acne scars not only damage the skin, but also self-confidence and self-image. Epione Medical Corporation often treats acne scars with Coolaser™ acne scar removal, a treatment that resurfaces the skin to create a smoother, more even skin tone. During the treatment, the face is numbed using a topical cream. The physician then uses a beam of light to remove the outermost layer of the skin. The number of treatments needed is based on the severity of the scarring and recovery time will vary. The laser acne scar removal procedure can also be performed on the body.

“Aesthetic treatments that remedy excessive sweating, excessive hair and acne scars help to level the playing field and help men and women feel good about themselves so that they can stop focusing on their flaws, and start focusing on the things that matter most,” said Dr. Ourian. “If you have a condition that you feel is holding you back, stop feeling complacent or defeated. Come in today and let’s talk about what we can do to help you feel great about yourself so that you can successfully go after the life you truly deserve.”

New Laser Treatment Offers Revolutionary Response to Aesthetic Procedure Candidates’ Number One Concern: Recovery Time

Epione — Mon, 24 May 2010 12:30:15 +0000

Newly Developed CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment May Dramatically Reduce the Appearance of Aging While Minimizing the Need for Extensive Healing and Recovery Time

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – One of the most common concerns and commonly asked questions among patients considering aesthetic procedures is, “How long will it take to heal and recover?” For patients who want to achieve a younger appearance but have anxiety over typical aesthetic procedure recovery time, the newly developed CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment is likely to put their minds at ease. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, CoolFrax™ can achieve results without the inconvenience and discomfort of a lengthy recovery period.

“Patients who undergo a facelift or other facial surgeries can require 10 days to two weeks to recover,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “Today, women lead fast-paced lives, and juggle families and careers and often don’t want to put their lives on hold for an aesthetic procedure. Additionally, it can be difficult to be discrete about having work done when procedures require extensive time to heal. Our patients love the CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment because it gives them the results they want and the ability to get back to their families, friends, jobs and day-to-day routines quickly.”

reduces the appearance of aging by affecting small areas of the skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser spots. During the procedure, aging and damaged skin is targeted, and the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells is stimulated. The laser used offers patients the effect of ablative lasers, but with a gentler impact, resulting typically in an accelerated healing time.

Additionally, because the laser penetrates the non-living, outer layer of skin, leaving it completely untreated, make-up can sometimes be worn immediately following the procedure. Some patients may even return to work and social obligations on the same day.

“Aesthetic procedures should help to enhance your life, not halt it,” said Dr. Ourian. “At Epione, we use the latest technological advancements to ensure patients get great results, a positive experience and an opportunity to enjoy their new appearance as quickly as possible.”

CoolFrax™ Fractional Laser Resurfacing: The New Face of Non-invasive Cosmetic Surgery

Epione — Mon, 10 May 2010 18:51:20 +0000

Laser skin resurfacing has been a popular method of repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin for a number of years however; some patients have chosen to avoid this procedure due to the long and difficult recovery periods associated with CO2 laser treatments. Now, thanks to new advancements in laser technology, clients may enjoy the same effective results here in Los Angeles and across the world, with little or no recovery time. Epione Medical Corporation of Beverly Hills, CA now offers CoolFrax™ fractional laser resurfacing, considered a safe and effective method for skin rejuvenation

Traditional ablative laser resurfacing involves the use of lasers to aggressively damage the outer layer of skin. The damaged skin is essentially vaporized by a controlled laser beam. The aggressive nature of this treatment may increase the patient’s recovery time as well as risk of infection and scarring.

CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing, on the other hand, takes a far less aggressive approach. The laser beam is broken up into small fractions which deliver thousands of microscopic columns of heat within the treated area. Only these targeted areas are “injured” by these columns of heat and light. The skin around these perforated areas remains totally intact. The light energy is absorbed into the “injured” areas and this stimulates collagen production. The healthy tissue surrounding the treated areas promotes a more rapid recovery with less risk of complications. The new skin grows back healthier and stronger in just a few days.

CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing can be used for the treatment of acne, wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, stretch marks, skin discolorations and melasma. Patients may not only see results in these areas; there can also be an overall improvement in the texture and elasticity of their skin. In fact, Dr. Simon Ourian, Epione’s Medical Director, often opts to combine laser resurfacing with dermal fillers or Botox® for best results. CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing can also be effective for the treatment of an acne scar or scar resulting from surgery or trauma.

A CoolFrax fractional laser procedure is quick and will usually take no longer than hour. In most instances, the treatment is performed in no more than 30 minutes. Patients report only a stinging or prickling sensation, similar to mild sunburn, when undergoing treatment. The most significant benefit to patients is the quick recovery time. They are able to return to work almost immediately. Side effects include light swelling and minimal skin redness which clear up in fairly quickly.

CoolFrax fractional laser treatment is a relatively gentle and effective option for skin resurfacing. This minimally invasive procedure can be used to treat all areas of the body including the chest, arms, legs and abdomen.

Plastic surgery has advanced significantly over the last 20 years and Epione’s CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing, as part of this evolution, is playing a significant role in reversing the signs of aging. It is truly a revolutionary approach to improving the appearance of the skin.

Epione Medical Corporation, located in Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, is among the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers. Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer for laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane®, BOTOX®, Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Sculptra®. These treatments are used for correction or reversal of a variety of conditions such as acne, acne scars, acne scar removal, skin discoloration, lip enhancement, wrinkles, stretch marks, varicose veins, cellulite, and tens of others. Laser hair removal and laser tattoo removal are offered too. Epione also carries Doctor Ourian’s Signature Series skin care products.

Finding the Best Los Angeles Ingrown Hair Treatment

Epione — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:00:53 +0000

Plucking or shaving unwanted hair from the face is a daily routine for many Los Angeles women and men. Whether on the chin, upper lip or eyebrow region, shaved and plucked hair will grow back. Endless amounts of money may be spent on expensive home hair removal treatments that prove to be ineffective. Often when hair does grow back, it becomes ingrown, causing a red and tender bump on the affected area. Having an ingrown hair is not only painful, but embarrassing as well. Ingrown facial hair may become infected in some instances, leading to an even larger sore area that may result in an unsightly scar. Because hair grows so quickly after being removed with tweezers, a razor, or any other home method, the risk of a hair follicle becoming infected from an ingrown hair increases.

Laser hair removal has become a promising Los Angeles ingrown hair treatment. In a city where many people seek fame, health and beauty, having unwanted hair may cause hassles, especially for those regularly attending auditions or scheduling photo shoots. Whether seeking stardom or not, ingrown facial hair is inconvenient and painful for anyone. Those who discover the benefits of Los Angeles ingrown hair treatment will find it a wonderful investment. Los Angeles ingrown hair treatment can eliminate the need to waste large amounts of money on ineffective home hair removal products. Due to the popularity of this Los Angeles ingrown hair treatment, prices are very affordable and often yield satisfactory results. Los Angeles is home to many different locations offering Los Angeles ingrown hair treatment. Fast and relatively painless, the procedure is simple and places patients back in their usual activities quickly.

After facial hair is removed, women will feel more self confident and enjoy smooth skin. Wasting time with tweezers or lotions can become a thing of the past. Men will not only enjoy a continually smooth face, but the convenience of not having to shave or worry about razor bumps and irritation. Overall, Los Angeles ingrown hair treatments can be a practical and affordable solution for those suffering from the pain and embarrassment of ingrown facial hair.

State of the Art Acne Scar Treatments

Epione — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 23:30:01 +0000

Beverly Hills – Did you suffer from acne when you were younger? Although you may not have acne anymore, do you still have scarring from that adolescent misfortune? If you’re like thousands of fellow acne sufferers, you probably do. The reason these scars are so difficult to get rid of is the nature of acne itself. Each pimple is a tiny infection that can deeply scar your skin tissue. Because the face is much more sensitive than other areas of the body, the redness of the scars can stand out for many years to come. Some acne scars can only able to be concealed using extra heavy foundation, and even that sometimes doesn’t do enough.

For people living in the Los Angeles area there are a couple of treatment options available. The most popular lately has been the Coolaser™ laser resurfacing system, offered exclusively at Epione Beverly Hills. This laser gently removes the top layer of skin

because, although this sounds dramatic, that top layer is where much of the scarring is apparent. To finish off the acne scar treatment, Dr. Simon Ourian, Epione’s Medical Director, will combine Coolaser treatments with dermal filler injections. “This will help your skin to fill out in areas where it might be lacking. In this way, you will have increased volume to the areas that used to be pock-marked so that those pocks will be filled out completely,” says Dr. Ourian.

“Don’t let your acne scars stand between you and your confidence any more,” continues Dr. Ourian. Often people who have this procedure are able to see results quickly and the recovery term is relatively fast too. It is important that post- treatment patients protect themselves from the sun because their skin will be highly susceptible to burning. Even a few minutes exposure to the sun’s UV rays can really damage the new skin that has been uncovered.

“It’s worked for so many people and it can work for you, too,” concludes Dr. Ourian. “Life is too short to suffer from unsightly acne scars. You can look as wonderful as you feel no matter what your age. This is an improvement to your overall appearance that will simply bring your younger, more vibrant skin to the surface.”

Epione Medical Corporation, located in Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, is among the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers.

Epione Helps Women Get Ready for Bikini Season without Hitting the Gym

Epione — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:16:33 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – For many women, spring ushers in the season of renewed commitment to diet and exercise in order to get ready for a summer filled with beach visits, poolside lounging, tropical vacations and weddings. However, there are a number of concerns that diet and exercise won’t remedy, including varicose veins, excessive body hair, cellulite and stretch marks. Epione, a Los Angeles-based laser and aesthetic surgery center helps women treat these issues with advanced technology and revolutionary procedures that offer quick recovery, and leave them looking and feeling better than ever.

“We offer a number of non-surgical treatments and procedures that can improve and enhance your appearance, regardless of what your concern is,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director of Epione Medical Corporation. “During the summer months, women can often become more insecure about the things that bother them most about their bodies. With our help, they can embrace the summer season with confidence.”

Rather than forgoing wearing a swimsuit or avoiding seasonal fashion trends, there are a number of things women can do to be proactive about improving their appearances in time for summer. Epione offers a wide range of procedures that can help women get ready for bikini season. Five of the most popular treatments include laser hair removal, laser vein removal, stretch mark removal, OptiLipo and OptiLipo.

Laser hair removal is an especially popular treatment during the spring and summer months. Epione uses cutting edge laser techniques to help patients get rid of unwanted hair on

their backs, legs, arms, chins, upper lips and other areas. Most effective on dark hair, the treatment targets the melanin in the hair follicle, and uses beams of light to disable the follicle and prevent growth. It’s a popular and permanent solution to the inconvenience of having to shave, wax and tweeze regularly during warm months, and throughout the year.

Spider veins, varicose veins and stretch marks can be embarrassing and often make women feel unattractive and insecure, especially when wearing skirts, dresses, shorts and swimsuits. Epione’s laser spider vein treatment, laser vein therapy and stretch mark treatment using the Coolbeam laser are effective, non-invasive, long lasting and ideal for reducing or eliminating the appearance of dark veins and stretch marks, and helping women look and feel more youthful and confident.

OptiLipo can be used to address a number of concerns including hair loss, cellulite and aging or sagging skin. It’s also a popular alternative to liposuction and tummy tucks. Over the course of several sessions, microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic and pharmaceutical agents and vitamins are injected into the skin helping patients to achieve a thinner, more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

OptiLipo helps women get ready for bikini season by treating mild to advanced types of cellulite. During the OptiLipo process, the physician uses Trans-dermal Acoustic Therapy (TAT) and OptiLipo to break up the collagen of the septae and release the skin, and block the ability to store fat in the area. Patients can expect improved skin texture, improved skin elasticity, increased tone and firmness and a more refined figure.

“Don’t spend the summer months wishing you had the same body that you had when you were in your twenties,” said Dr. Ourian. “There are lots of things you can do to help turn back the hands of time without invasive surgery. We invite you to come in today, share your concerns and let us help you select a solution to achieve your desired appearance just in time for the summer months”

Ingrown Hair Treatment Options in California

Epione — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:00:16 +0000

If you are one of the many residents of California that suffer from frequent bouts with ingrown hair, you might want to consider treatment by some local specialist. Ingrown hair treatment options in California are many. So, let’s take a look at two of the best options for the people of the Golden State.

Ingrown hair treatment typically happens in one of two ways: treatment of the problem after symptoms occur or treatment of the cause of the problem. This is what we mean. An ingrown hair occurs when hair is cut, leaving behind a sharp tip on the cut hair. Often, this hair will then curl back on itself, and the tip end of the hair will start growing back into the skin. So, treatments that target the symptoms center on trying to get the hair “unstuck,” and growing in the right direction again. On the other hand, treatments that center on the cause of ingrown hair attempt to eliminate the hair all together. In this way, they prevent the ingrown hair from ever happening.

Ingrown hair treatment options now include medical treatments for the removal of hair. They have the desired effects of depilatory creams (hair removal creams), and typically last a whole lot longer.

he most popular of ingrown hair treatment options in California would be laser hair removal. There are qualified physicians located throughout the state that procedure. You will need to weigh the benefits and costs of both. Access to a practitioner, though, should not be an issue.

Laser hair removal has become a very popular ingrown hair treatment option in California for some time now. The procedure involves the use of a laser beam to destroy the hair follicle, and thus the hair. The intense laser light targets a pigment called melanin in the hair. The intense heat of the laser is what destroys the follicle.

The technique is popular, because it is safe, has few side effects, and provides you with a long term solution to hair. In some cases, people have been able to stay free of unwanted hair for years. The cost of the procedure is minimal, in comparison to other forms of cosmetic surgery. There is typically no “down time” from the procedure either. This combination of ease, lack of risk, and moderate cost has done as much as anything for making this a popular ingrown hair treatment option in California.

Ease of access, moderate price, and low risk of side effect have made laser hair removal a popular ingrown hair treatment options in California. It works by targeting the source of the problem, and provide long term solutions to the nasty problem of ingrown hair. After you have done your research, have a talk with a practitioner in your area.

Los Angeles Breast Cancer Scar Tissue Removal

Epione — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:55:50 +0000

Every year, more Los Angeles cosmetic surgeons are being asked to do breast cancer scar tissue removal. More specifically, the scar tissue is the result of surgery done to treat breast cancer, like mastectomy or lumpectomy. Secondary surgical procedures can be done to remove scar tissue formed during previous breast cancer surgery. In fact, there are several breast cancer scar tissue removal experts in the Los Angeles area. These highly specialized plastic surgeons devote their entire practice to scar removal techniques.

For some luckier patients in Los Angeles, breast cancer scar tissue removal can be accomplished with non-surgical techniques. This is where the process starts for many people. Products like breast scar reduction creams, silicone scar sheets, and hydrogel scar sheets are used to reduce, lighten, and eliminate smaller scars. You will need to research any of these types of products, to see if you will be able to see any real results from the products. The best way to do this is to consult a cosmetic or facial plastic surgeon.
Laser surgery resurfacing can also be used to removal scar tissue. In the Los Angeles area, this is the most frequently used breast cancer scar removal technique. Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal patients have experienced great success from the technique. The technique involves eliminating scars by strategically removing small amounts of scar tissue at a time. The Intense heat of the laser dissolves the scar tissue. It can often take several treatments to accomplish the goal of scar removal, but the technique is very safe, and has few side effects.

Scar reduction surgery is another very popular Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal procedure. The technique involves a true secondary surgery, so it is typically only performed on patients who have truly deep, significant scarring from their breast cancer surgery. The physician will need to do a full initial evaluation, to set up a treatment plan, and set goals for what will be accomplished during any secondary surgery. Often dermabrasion is used in conjunction with this type of surgery, to help eliminate scarring in areas that cannot be surgically removed.

For some people in Los Angeles, breast cancer scar tissue removal surgery may be the only viable option. This tends to be especially true for darker skinned women. It is not always understood why, but darker skinned women tend to just develop more scar tissue from surgery. The issue of getting skin pigmentation correct may also come into play, when a Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal expert makes an evaluation of how to remove bad scarring. The emotional effects of breast cancer surgery can be very devastating. So, you will want to seek help from a qualified surgeon. This is your best option for eliminating scarring that can often be the result of breast cancer surgery.

Best Laser Hair Removal?

Epione — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 23:55:46 +0000

Unwanted body hair can be so embarrassing that it’s almost traumatizing to some patients. Renowned Beverly Hills cosmetic dermatologist Doctor Simon Ourian M.D. knows this better than most and for more than ten years has been helping his patients deal with this embarrassing problem that affects both men and women.

March 30, 2009 – Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills, located in the exclusive shopping, restaurant and hotel enclave in Los Angeles, California built his practice more than ten years ago and has been studying the health and science of hirsutism longer than that. As commonly defined, hirsutism is simply excessive hair. In fact, the actual scientific definition is the condition in women of excessive hair growth in parts of the body where hair growth is normally minimal. Typically the hair found is coarse and visible rather than fine or vellus. It is believed that this condition may be the result of very high levels of androgens (male sex hormones) or by hair follicles that overreact to normal androgen levels.

“This is a problem I’ve seen every day since I opened my clinic in 1998,” says Doctor Ourian, and it can be a source of great anxiety and stress for women. It is not unusual to see hair growth on the face that, of course, can’t be covered up with a cream or makeup. Doctor Ourian continues “I don’t at all see this as a cosmetic or vanity issue. It is a medical condition and I treat it that way.”

“I’m a cosmetic dermatologist and it’s my job to make people look better and feel better about themselves. But when we help a woman who may have spent years hiding herself because of unwanted facial hair it reminds me why I decided to devote my professional life to this area of practice. I’ve literally seen patients transform into butterflies in front of my eyes.”

Doctor Ourian goes on to say “Of course we treat patients whose problems aren’t nearly as severe or who are looking simply to throw away their razor for good. Here in sunny, Southern California the result of the combination of beautiful weather and level of body consciousness is a lot of exposed skin. Understandably, people, both men and women, don’t want to exercise and diet so that they can cover up their bodies in layers of clothes. They’re fit and they want to show it off.”

Epione has been offering laser hair removal for more than ten years. Women who have been waxing their legs or shaving their armpits for as long as they can remember come in looking for a more permanent solution. For men it’s often a spot on their back or shoulders, though it’s not unusual these days for men to request laser hair removal treatments on their chest, shoulders and back or even their entire body. For men who suffer from ingrown hairs and razor bumps when they shave their face, laser hair removal is a great option.

“As the Medical Director of Epione I have been practicing as a cosmetic dermatologist for more than ten years,” continues Doctor Ourian, “and I believe that the lasers we use for hair removal achieve results superior to other modalities and lasers. Despite what the ads you see or the magazine articles you read may tell you, no skin care product or cream is likely to give you the results you want.”

Dr. Ourian’s Epione Medical Corporation, located in Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, is among the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers. Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer for laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane, BOTOX®, Juvéderm, Radiesse and Sculptra.
