AMERICAN
ACADEMY OF MEDICAL ESTHETIC PROFESSIONALS - AAMEP
AAMEP Members and Guests,
On behalf
of the officers at AAMEP we would like to thank you for your support. We have
prepared a very exciting program; with interesting presentations and live demonstrations. We are confident you will find the
information educational, stimulating, and FUN!
We are
proud to offer 9.5 CE’s and CME’s for attending the 7th Annual AAMEP conference. We
wish you great success in your medical esthetic practices.
On a side
note:
We are looking to fill the position
for the State Chairman for your state.
In light of what is going on all
over the country with the Dermatology community trying to inhibit and prohibit
our practice of esthetics by their attempts to introduce legislation (to limit
and restrict) we need now more than ever to have active participants and
responsible communicators.
We are asking for your commitment to
your organization to assist and work with your fellow members to strengthen and
nurture our organization for the good of all members.
This will not take up much of your
time; only a few hours per month to keep abreast of any new bills that may have
been introduced to your House of Representatives and State Senate. You will have direct communication with your
Regional Director and President of AAMEP.
Opportunities for involvement are
greatly welcomed. Your energy and
presence is needed in committees, Workgroups, and Task Forces. The AAMEP board of Directors is here to serve
you. Our continued goal is to implement
state and national coalitions to collectively address priority Association
issues: legislative changes, scope of
practice, membership recruitment, malpractice insurance needs, and more. Please let us know your interest.
Warm
Regards,
Sasha Parker
President

Sasha Parker: The
Many Amazing Uses of PRP -Platelet Rich Plasma has been used in Europe with
great success in clinical practice since the late 1980’s. Initially used to
enhance wound healing in many specialties, it’s emergence into the
aesthetic/cosmetic arena for rejuvenation of skin started in 2004. The Skin
rejuvenation technique has been used since 2004 in Europe, Asia, and South
America. Patients have seen all around improvement in skin texture,
pigmentation disorders, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, acne, stretch marks,
and hair loss to name a few. Studies show that PRP, when done properly, has the
ability to increase collagen deposition and remodeling which can persist over a
12 month period. The term autologous means that the source of origin is the
patient’s own body and because of this is desirable to many patients who may
desire a natural type treatment.

traditional medical disciplines that offer many alternative strategies for
health maintenance.

hundred scientific articles in leading medical journals, Dr. Holt has been
