Epione — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:30:21 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Epione Beverly Hills announced today the availability of Epione Sunblock Protect and Correct, the latest addition to its Signature Series product line. Made with anti-aging multivitamins and correcting enzymes, the revolutionary formula protects skin from harmful rays, while simultaneously diminishing the appearance of the signs of aging and years of sun damage.

“Each year, a significant number of clients come to our center for chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, mole removal and other treatments to correct issues that could have been prevented by implementing a good skincare regimen,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director, Epione Beverly Hills. “It’s so important that you don’t wait until you see signs of aging and skin damage to become proactive about skincare. Our new sunblock, as well as many of our other products, are designed to promote a higher level of consciousness of the importance of taking care of your skin at all stages of your life.”

Epione Beverly Hills Adds Corrective Sunblock Formula to Its Signature Series Product Line; Dual Purpose Sunblock Developed by Dr. Simon Ourian Protects Skin While Diminishing Signs of Aging and Sun Damage

Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature skin aging among both men and women. Over time, prolonged exposure to harmful sun rays can lead to changes in skin texture, wrinkling, skin discoloration, sun spots, moles, lesions, and in some cases, skin cancer. However, when appropriate precautions are taken, such as the use of an effective sunblock, men and women can protect themselves from these and other skin issues.

Epione Sunblock Protect and Correct’s (1.7 oz, $40) unique formula is based on years of research and cosmetic dermatology experience. Incredibly effective, it offers a sun protection factor of more than 40 (SPF 40+), enhances skin tone, visibly diminishes the appearance of age spots, reduces redness and reveals clearer, more radiant skin. When applied consistently, users may notice that the more the product is used, the less they will require makeup.

“It’s important to stress that while we want our clients to look great, most importantly we want to help them maintain the health of their skin,” said Dr. Ourian. “Our new sunblock not only helps men and women reverse the appearance of sun damage, but it also effectively shields them from intense sun rays. We want to ensure that our clients are not amongst the nearly four million cases of skin cancer diagnosed each year.”

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.”

Epione Reveals a “Bright” New Solution for Dull, Sun Damaged Skin

Epione — Mon, 17 May 2010 12:30:13 +0000

LOS ANGELES – For many, excessive tanning often leads to extensive sun damage, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, age spots, discoloration and other unsightly symptoms. While a number of treatments, including dermal fillers, chemical peels and prescription skincare, have been used to reduce the signs of sun damage, Epione Medical Corporation has developed CoolFrax™, a new treatment that is designed to actually work with the body to repair damaged skin and stimulate the growth of healthy new skin cells like never before.

“While many associate tanned skin with beauty, radiance and good health, tanning can actually accelerate the aging process and compromise the health of the skin,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, Epione’s medical director. “The good news is that with the help of advanced medicine and technology, we can now correct sun damaged skin and help patients achieve an appearance that truly is reflective of good health and a good skincare regimen.”

The CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment is one of the latest innovations in non-surgical aesthetic treatments to be introduced by Epione Medical Corporation.

Newly Developed CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment Helps Patients Reverse Sun Damage and Restore the Health of Their Skin without Painful Surgery

The treatment targets small areas of the skin at a time and uses microscopic laser spots to create tiny wounds in the treatment area. The wounds trigger the body’s natural healing process, with the goal of accelerating the production of collagen and healthy skin cells. Over time, the treated area should become restored, resulting in healthier, younger and more radiant skin.

The CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment requires little to no recovery time, and most patients liken the recovery process to the post-sunburn healing process. All patients are strongly advised to be diligent in caring for and protecting the new skin after undergoing the treatment, including using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

“This summer, before you go tanning or lay out by the pool without applying sunscreen, really consider the extent of the damage you can do to your skin when you don’t take the proper precautions,” said Dr. Ourian. “Your skin is not only one of the first and foremost indicators of your age, but it’s also your body’s first defense against germs, infection and disease. Therefore, it’s critical that you’re committed to protecting and maintaining the health of your skin, regardless of your age.”

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®.

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”

Blue Light Therapy

Epione — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:25:00 +0000

Most people who are exposed to the sun, especially during the summer when it is beach weather, experience those ever-present dark circles on their face and/or arms and makeup just isn?��Ǩ�Ѣt enough to hide them.

Blue Light Therapy was developed by Dr. Simon Ourian for people who have sun spots, sun damage, freckles, broken capillaries, dark circles under their eyes, etc. and do not want to have a long procedure or a lengthy downtime. A series of intense light, different from laser treatments, is emitted over the entire face. The tiny capillaries and any colored material on the surface of the skin (freckles, age spots, etc) are heated and the colors are either absorbed or evaporated. The energy of the light creates micro pores in the capillaries causing them to shrink.

Blue Light Therapy ensures glowing, smooth skin.
