Portland, Or - 31 January, 2005 -

Everyone has something they would like to change or improve about their appearance. The professionals at S na MedSpa, the nation’s leading skin treatment center, understand the desire to look one’s best, yet not undergo drastic changes or invasive surgery that can take away “the real you.” MedSpas are the latest trend in skin and beauty care as aesthetic services, once available only in dermatologists’ offices, go mainstream. They include services such as laser hair removal; skin rejuvenation, such as anti-aging treatments for fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet and laugh lines; and treatments for other skin conditions such as sun damage, acne, age spots, broken capillaries and spider veins. “Women and men want to look their best.and that means enhancing their natural look and beauty or handsomeness with a customized skin care program delivered within their comfort zone by professionals,” said Jim Amos, Chairman and CEO of S na MedSpa. Amos added that as a pioneer and leader in the category, S na MedSpa is committed to providing services that are non-surgical and enhance overall well being. “It’s about helping reveal your true self and be the best you can be,” he said. The S na Difference From the first visit to the last treatment, highly trained S na MedSpa staff use state-of-the-art technology to analyze skin care needs, create a program of treatment, and deliver each service professionally and effectively. The program is called S naSmart. S na MedSpa has a staff of trained medical professionals from the physician medical director to the licensed, certified nurses who administer client treatments. “We concentrate on delivering the best results cost-effectively with the professional attention and care our clients expect and deserve,” said Martin. Technology for Skin Solutions S naSmart is a three-step approach:1) Evaluation with proprietary technology, 2) Repair delivered with tailored treatments utilizing the latest technologies, and 3) Replenishment and maintenance with special systems and products. Technology is a S na advantage and it includes: A proprietary evaluation process the S naSmart Skincare Analysis which provides a personal “snapshot” or imaging of skin and conditions outlining facial features, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots and melanin content. Pore size and bacterial level along with overall skin tone also is analyzed. The ultrasound system catalogs collagen levels deep beneath the skin’s surface, producing “before and after” photographs. It is from these images and skin analysis that a customized program of care is developed and tracked as treatment occurs. Revolutionary FDA-approved lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal that includes S na’s advanced laser, Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT), microdermabrasion, and ultrasound technologies. The laser removes areas of damaged skin, allowing new, healthier skin to emerge; and it promotes collagen growth by targeting blood flow. Production of new cells reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne, scars, rosacea and pore size. Skin tone is smoothed, elasticity improved and skin clarity revived. Micro-dermabrasion gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and brighten the complexion. It leaves a smooth texture and cleaner skin, and it promotes the growth of new health skin cells. Ultrasonic facials improve the elasticity of skin and reduce wrinkles and dryness. This non-invasive technique improves blood flow, and it helps skin receive oxygen and nutrients to promote collagen growth. All procedures are quick and simple and clients can return to work or daily activities immediately. The S na Concept: A Unique Approach to Hair Removal More than eighty million men and women struggle with the frustration of unwanted hair. Knowing where to get information to find the right solution is often difficult or unknown to them. Many turn to costly and painful electrolysis treatments, while others spend hours shaving, waxing, tweezing and using messy creams, only to see hair reappear within weeks. Advances in laser science now provide an excellent alternative to these more difficult and often ineffective methods of hair removal. S na expands these advances into a proprietary treatment action plan called the S na Concept. The S na Concept combines knowledge of the physiology of hair growth with a patent-pending process to ensure active hairs are targeted at the right time of the hair growth cycle. Hair grows in cycles the active or growth (anagen) phase, the dormant (catagen) phase, and the fall-out (telogen) phase. Medical science has determined that the laser effectively treats the hair in the anagen (growth) phase, and different areas of the body have different growth cycles. Timing is key to success and clinics that offer only one or two treatments or have a client return for treatments every four to six weeks regardless of the area being treated miss the essential part of an effective, long-lasting hair removal program. The S na Concept allows hair to be removed gently from the body, while providing maximum results. Areas of unwanted hair no matter where it is for example, the face, back, bikini line, arms, underarms or legs are treated with a focused beam of concentrated laser light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair, as well as in the surrounding hair follicle. This causes thermal destruction of these hair follicles and disrupts their ability to regenerate, resulting in permanent hair reduction. Unlike electrolysis, which kills one hair follicle at a time, the laser reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time.
