ALLURE MEDICAL - all•u Magazine all·u Magazine Fall 2017 | Page 5

LETTER FROM THE OWNER DISCOVER ‘all . u’ It’s hard to believe that this is our fourth quarterly issue of all•u magazine and that 2017 flew by in record speed! We started this magazine to deliver information about the latest innovations in medicine to our readers. We wanted to share our knowledge and introduce readers to the idea that many solutions for common health, aging, and lifestyle concerns are within easy reach. This month, we are excited to share stories with you from some of our patients who have surmounted the debilitating condition of venous insufficiency and take an engaging and interesting look at our popular Magic Lift procedure. You will read how stem- cell therapy is bringing new hope for sufferers of arthritic knees and learn new exercises to help ward off the holiday pounds. As we close out the year, it has become tradition for us to reflect on the changes that have taken place within our company. We are fortunate that the positives outweigh the negatives, that we have taken great strides in bringing patients closer to meaningful changes with medicine, and that we have made so many new discoveries along the way. It was during this reflection that we realized our brand name no longer aligns with the mission and purpose of our business. (I am going to share a little secret with you here). In 2018, we will be dropping the “Spa” part of our name and become known simply as “Allure Medical.” Our hope is that we will be able to effectively communicate our work. There is much more to come, but consider this a sneak preview. Thank you for reading and for the opportunity to serve you.
