Atlanta Cosmetic Surgery Practice Now Offers Cynosure® Affirm™ Anti-Aging Treatment

Plastic Surgery Center of the South announces the introduction of Cynosure® Affirm™ anti-aging laser treatment to the menu of medical spa services they offer their Atlanta cosmetic surgery patients. The Affirm Anti-Aging Workstation uses laser energy to reduce wrinkles, pigmentation, and redness, treat age spots, and tighten the skin for a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.

As millions of men and women across the country know, our faces are generally the first place where we begin to see the effects of aging and the environment. Plastic Surgery Center of the South offers a number of non-surgical medical spa services that are designed to help enhance and rejuvenate facial appearance, including the newest addition to the Atlanta cosmetic surgery practice’s menu: Cynosure® Affirmâ„¢ anti-aging treatment.

The Affirm Anti-Aging Workstation combines 3 cutting-edge technologies into a single laser treatment that can be used to treat age spots, tighten facial skin, and reduce wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and redness. Affirm treatment is unique from other laser treatments because it redistributes the laser energy to varied levels of intensity, meaning that patient discomfort is minimized and the healing process is accelerated. In addition, the Affirm treatment utilizes Cynosure’s MultiPlexâ„¢ technology to tighten the skin by targeting deep layers of collagen structure, which makes it a comprehensive anti-aging solution.

“We’re excited to offer this exciting new treatment option to our cosmetic surgery and medical spa patients,” says board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. E. Anthony Musarra. “Affirm laser treatment is a great addition to our menu of medical spa services because it offers our patients a quick and simple way to reduce signs of aging and sun damage. It is a great option for patients who want to refresh and rejuvenate their look without a surgical procedure.”

One reason that many men and women opt for medical spa services over a cosmetic surgery procedure is that surgical procedures require a far greater time commitment in terms of both the actual procedure and recovery time. Patients who want to reduce the appearance of aging but don’t have a lot of time to devote to a procedure will appreciate the fact that each treatment with the Affirm system only takes 15 to 20 minutes. Most people who choose the Affirm treatment will begin to see significant improvement within 3 to 4 treatments, and the average patient will need a total of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. The surgeons and medical spa staff at Plastic Surgery Center of the South will help each patient plan an individual treatment schedule that fits their anti-aging goals.

“The Affirm Anti-Aging Workstation has been designed in such a way that it can be easily operated by a single person and it requires fewer passes over the treatment area than other laser treatments,” adds Dr. James E. Leake, another board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon practicing at Plastic Surgery Center of the South. “Affirm treatments are very quick and affordable, and we expect this medical spa skin therapy to become very popular at our practice.”

Affirm laser treatment is the latest addition to the comprehensive menu of medical spa services offered at Plastic Surgery Center of the South. The practice has been offering medically-approved skin care treatments and services in a relaxing, day-spa setting for over 10 years. Other popular facial rejuvenation procedures at the practice include laser skin resurfacing and BOTOX® Cosmetic. Whether a person is considering laser hair removal, an injectable filler, or an advanced skin treatment, the medical spa at Plastic Surgery Center of the South has a treatment option to help enhance a patient’s look.

It isn’t often that I stumble upon a completely unique fitness experience, but I did last week. I checked out Your Day Extraordinary Transformation Center, a new gym and spa rolled into one very awesome building.

Your Day was created by Day Adeogba (brother of former Atlanta Falcon Siddeeq Shabazz), who is one of the most enthusiastic gym owners I have ever met. Actually, he would be mad at me for calling him a “gym” owner. He refers to his gym as the “stadium,” members are “athletes,” and he and the other trainers are “coaches.” When you come into Your Day, you’re practicing and training to get better at the game of life. How? By getting fit and healthy and having six-pack abs, you will inevitably be a better employer, parent, friend, spouse, etc. (Well, I don’t know if the six-pack abs actually help, but Day let me feel his, and that made me a happier person.)

This concept isn’t a new one—if you’re healthy and balanced, it makes sense that you’re able to Read more…

We wanted Castleberry to teach us a new approach to eye makeup for winter, but he waved away our question with a flick of his shadow brush. “You get some good neutrals, and you’re set all year,” he told us. Instead, Castleberry pronounced our lip liner passé. “Break it in half,” he scolded. “There are better ways to make your lips look fuller.” He applied a pink lipstick and topped it with a lighter gloss, spreading it just beyond our lip line. Our mouth indeed looked plumper, and if we weren’t afraid of mussing it, we’d have kissed him on the way out.

Buran is in high demand—expect to wait a month for a weekend opening. She managed to squeeze us in on a weekday and declared our skin “in desperate need of hydration.” We thought that was a bit melodramatic, until she launched into a massage. To quench our complexion, she rubbed calendula lotion into our face and chest for almost an hour “to moisturize and increase circulation.” By extraction time, we were too comatose to feel so much as a pinch. After a milky mask (hydrating, of course), we left with a four-star face—and Buran earned yet another loyal client.

Foundry Park Inn & Spa in Athens: Play golf or take your cooler to a Georgia Bulldog football game

The Foundry Park Inn & Spa, Athens GA may be a fancy boutique hotel, but they don’t neglect the basics here – a cooler in your room to take to nearby Sanford Stadium for the Georgia Bulldog football games. They also have tailgate-to-go menus.

Foundry Park is the first and only boutique property in Athens, on the edge of the active Athens downtown. It was designed as a replica of row houses built in the city back in the 1820s.

But, the best part is the inn’s proximity to the energetic music scene Athens is known for, as well as Bulldog football and the good collection of Athens golf courses. In fact, all you have to do is walk a few steps from your door for the music; the Melting Point on the grounds hosts a variety of musical acts – it’s a great place to see live music, with its intimate setting and good acoustics.

It’s a place to hear terrific local bands as well as nationally recognized acts like Sean Lennon, Leon Russell, the Derek Trucks Band, and Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. They have different themes for different nights, like Tuesday bluegrass and a Thursday night jazz series. It’s a low-key, comfortable place to hear good music, with its 30-foot smoke stack and three levels of seating inside all close to the stage. Its brick and stucco décor recalls the old foundry that used to be on the grounds.

“I come here a lot to hear bluegrass,” said Margarite Duncan, who lives outside of Athens. “I can’t get enough of it. I don’t care much for the other stuff.”

The facility itself blends the rustic with the sophisticated. There are 119 rooms and suites, and the décor is understated elegance. There is a conference room, a fitness center, an excellent spa and a fitness center. The inn also has the Hoyt House Restaurant.

The property has four different levels of rooms: deluxe king or double, parlor suite, king suite and the two-bedroom Presidential suite, which is 1,400 square feet; one bedroom has a king canopy bed and the other has two queen, four-poster beds. The suite also has a wet bar, a full-sized refrigerator as well as a private entrance. It’s located directly above the spa and adjacent to the outdoor pool.

The rooms are decorated with antique-style wood furniture and with modern amenities, like big work desks with two phones with dual lines. High-speed, wireless Internet is available.

The conference center is 9,000 square feet of space with nine separate rooms holding groups from 10 to more than 400, and it has on-site catering and audiovisual services. The center includes a kitchen and offers themed buffet dinners, like the Southern picnic or New Orleans buffet.

The Hoyt House Restaurant is also on the grounds, a restored, two-story home where Nathan Hoyt, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Athens, offered guidance for lost souls for 35 years. The structure was originally built in 1829 and has three dining rooms and six fireplaces. It serves mainly Southern food, from stacked fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese to New York strip and she-crab soup.

The Athens Steam Company Pub is also located at The Foundry, and has a vast selection of domestic and import beer, like Big Hoppy Monster, Golden Ale and Rye Pale Ale, as well as the pub’s own specialty brew, Red Ale. It also offers pub fare to go with the beer.

The day spa is tucked away in a secluded corner of the inn and offers various sorts of massage – Swedish, hot stone and aromatherapy – and his and hers couples massages are available. One of the more popular massages is the “Two for Tuesdays” special, two 20-minute massages for $60.
