admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:30:10 +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.”

The Cast of ‘Jersey Shore’ Learns Safe Tanning Tips and Secrets from Epione Beverly Hills

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:30:45 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – What’s the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” doing when they’re not partying, fist-pumping, or fighting? Getting a tan, of course.

This month, during the KIIS FM pool party at the Hollywood Tower, Dr. Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills, met up with Angelina, DJ Pauly D, JWOWW, Ronnie, Sammi, Snooki, Vinny and The Situation. Dr. Ourian’s staff provide spray tans for Jenni (J-WOWW), Vinny and Mike (The Situation). Later, the rest of the cast discussed proprietary spray tan formulation with Dr. Ourian and got spray tan tips from the Beverly Hills’ tan master.

“For many teens and young adults, having a great tan is essential to feeling beautiful and confident and looking great in their clothes,” said Dr. Ourian, who recently shared his tanning tips on “The Doctors.” “However, it’s important that your tan not only looks great, but that you achieve the desired look safely. That’s one of the things I talked to the cast of ‘Jersey Shore’ about when I met with them at the Hollywood Tower. I really enjoyed meeting them, and sharing tips and information with them. They’re a great group.”

Dr. Simon Ourian Shares Tanning Do’s and Don’ts with JWOWW, Vinny, Snooki, The Situation and the Rest of the Cast of MTV’s Hit Reality Television Show

Tanning, while popular among men and women of all ages, can pose significant dangers when safety isn’t taken into consideration. Tanning salons have come under fire for years due to the harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation emitted from many tanning lamps. Most recently, a new study released revealed that indoor tanning raises the risk of malignant melanoma by 75 percent.

Tanning outdoors also contributes to the more than one million cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the United States each year. Additionally, long-term exposure to the sun can often cause premature aging of the skin, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, age spots and other issues.

While the statistics surrounding tanning salons and tanning outdoors can be daunting, there are safe alternatives available. After 10 years of laboratory and extensive clinical research, Dr. Ourian has developed Epione Safe Tan Rx, a complete spray tanning system designed to naturally enrich the skin, while safely achieving a sun-kissed glow. The system uses a chemical-free solution and a one-step airbush process to produce an enviable, bronzed skin tone.

Epione Safe Tan Rx is odorless, long-lasting, non-streaking and dries instantly. The formula is completely natural, made from the purest of botanicals and safe for all skin types.

“The irony of tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed is that you’re actually damaging your skin in an effort to enhance it,” said Dr. Ourian. “Whenever we work with clients to enhance their beauty, we’re always keenly focused on their health, safety and long-term results.”

About Epioneskincare.com
For years Dr. Simon Ourian was frustrated by the lack of truly effective skin creams, so early on in his practice, he started blending his own and making them available to his patients. Though they came in plastic jars with typewritten labels and the only advertising was word of mouth, Dr. Ourian realized very quickly that his patients preferred his creams to the beautifully packaged name brand products. After endless prodding by his patients, Dr. Ourian partnered with a laboratory to further develop his formulas, incorporating the latest advances in state of the art technology and science.

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

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:30:10 +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.”

Why More Women are Choosing OptiLipo over Liposuction

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:55:03 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – For many years, liposuction has been a popular choice for women who want to target problem areas and achieve a slimmer, smoother and firmer appearance. However, the procedure is not without its drawbacks, posing health dangers to some and short-lived results for others. To combat many of the ‘cons’ of liposuction, Epione Medical Corporation, a state-of-the-art aesthetic surgery center, now offers OptiLipo, a revolutionary alternative to liposuction. The procedure may successfully flush fat, block the ability to store fat and achieve long-lasting results, among other benefits.

“At Epione, we offer the latest and most progressive technology and aesthetic procedures in order to help out clients achieve the results they want, and look and feel better than ever before,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “OptiLipo has quickly become the premier choice for women wanting to get rid of excess fat and cellulite without undergoing anesthesia or having to worry about future weight gain.”

During the OptiLipo procedure, problem areas are injected with microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic, pharmaceutical agents and vitamins. The procedure targets fat reduction in desired areas, flushes the fat out and over the course of several sessions, blocks the body’s ability to store fat in those areas, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s ability to burn fat.

Revolutionary OptiLipo™ Treatment Flushes Fat, Fights Cellulite and Post-Treatment Weight Gain and Achieves a Smoother, Firmer Skin Surface

OptiLipo offers a number of benefits that liposuction does not:

OptiLipo is non-surgical procedure that does not require anesthesia, posing far less health dangers than liposuction.
OptiLipo achieves a smoother skin surface, and does not enhance preexisting cellulite, which often occurs with liposuction.
No extensive medical evaluations or elaborate laboratory data is required prior to undergoing the OptiLipo procedure.

On average, based on the patient’s condition, results can be seen in two to three sessions. Some patients will see immediate results. Treatments are minimally invasive and recovery is immediate.

In addition to electing for OptiLipo as an alternative to liposuction, the treatment may also effective for aging skin, redundant or sagging skin, hand rejuvenation and neck rejuvenation.

“OptiLipo is one of the most popular procedures for women who want to reverse the signs of aging, regain a more youthful appearance and look fantastic in their clothes and swimwear,” said Dr. Ourian. “Schedule a consultation and let’s discuss how OptiLipo can help you get amazing results.”

Say “Adios” to Acne Scars

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:52:46 +0000

The Coolaser™ shows remarkable success in diminishing acne scars & pitting. A 2-step process including dermal fillers may all but eliminate even severe scarring.

Acne is bad enough when it first occurs, whether during the teen years or later in adulthood. Severe cases can leave unsightly and embarrassing scars, pitting and skin unevenness that can remain for a lifetime. Over the years, many treatments which were developed to attempt to lessen the scars have had mixed results, leaving millions unhappy with their appearance and with a resulting loss of self-confidence.

Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione Beverly Hills has seen firsthand the effects of facial acne through frustrated clients who have tried everything to smooth out the affected areas left on their faces. “The problem is complicated because the scars often vary greatly in shape, type and color”, says Dr. Ourian. “An individualized treatment plan should take into consideration all the factors present in the person’s skin. For many people, facial acne scars can be successfully treated with Coolaser™ resurfacing.”

For more severe scarring and pitting, a 2 step process can yield beautiful results:

Step 1: Coolaser treatment
Step 2: Use of dermal fillers to build up the pitted areas.

“The Coolaser™ treatments act as a sort of sanding down of the surfaces of the skin so that the scars become less deep and therefore less noticeable”, says Dr. Ourian. The typical treatment takes about an hour. First, the entire face is numbed, using a topical cream. After this is done, a series of light pulses are flashed on the surface of the skin.
Then a beam of light removes the outermost layer of the skin. The skin cells absorb the energy of the light. The absorption causes the instantaneous vaporization of the superficial cells.

A single session may not treat the acne scars entirely if they are too deep. These deeper acne scars can be corrected by injections under the skin to fill in or build up the pitted areas. The injections are done with dermal fillers such as Radiesse®, Juvéderm® or Restylane®. At the consultation appointment Dr. Ourian will determine if Coolaser resurfacing alone will treat the acne scars or if a combination of resurfacing and fillers are needed.

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

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 15:30:27 +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. – JXJTEH3SQSV4

“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.”

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

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 15:30:41 +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.”
