From the Corner Office
Call me Papa! Our first grandchild, William Asher Yellin, was born August 10th. (William is for my dad and Asher means blessed.) He and his parents are doing great! As all of you who are parents and grandparents know, there is a bond and a deep love that is both instantaneous and profound when you hold the little bundle of joy in your arms for the first time. So, if you see me smiling for no obvious reason, I am probably thinking of William and all the fun times ahead.
Let the good times roll. This Saturday, September 7th, please join us and bring a friend to our annual Fall Beauty Event. It is an opportunity for our practice to say thank you to the community for more than 13 years of support and patronage. We will be raffling off aesthetic services performed by our aestheticians, a $1,000 Full Face Botox treatment and a $1,500 PRF treatment performed by our amazing aesthetic injector, Kelly Houmand, and a $5,000 Injecta-Lift procedure performed by me. We will also be giving away many skincare products to the lucky raffle winners. Additionally, there will be opportunities to save 25% on skincare products, special pricing for many aesthetic services, and a 10% discount on Botox and Injectable Fillers performed by both Kelly and me with a $250 deposit. There will be delicious food, music, educational opportunities with many of our vendors and our aesthetics team, and mini-consultations with yours truly by appointment only. Book early, space is limited.
Over the past 13 years, we have grown from one location to two, with the addition of Kelly Houmand, PA-C, our expert and excellent aesthetic injector, who has been with us for seven years!
I have become busy enough to now require three assistants, compared to only one when I first started this practice, which followed 12 years as Chief of Facial Plastic Surgery at Emory Healthcare. When I first partnered with Marietta Dermatology, I performed both aesthetic and facial reconstructive surgery, in keeping with what I did at Emory. However, for the past five years or so, I have limited my practice to aesthetic facial plastic surgery and non-surgical facial rejuvenation, becoming well-known and recognized for the Injecta-Lift procedure that I pioneered and promulgated. In fact, Allergan, the world’s leading aesthetic injectable filler products company and makers of Botox, has bestowed elite status on our practice, in recognition of the volume of injectables we utilize and my contribution to the field of aesthetic facial injectable medicine. With this natural evolution to becoming exclusively an aesthetic practice, thanks to all of you, we have won multiple community awards and recognitions for our outstanding patient care, natural-appearing aesthetic facial plastic surgery results, and non-surgical facial enhancements.
Our aesthetics team has been busy as well, growing from one to three and soon to be four full time aestheticians. I have committed to seeking out and adding to our practice the most effective and safe aesthetic technologies to empower our team to offer world-class care to our community. With that in mind, some of the many technologies we have incorporated over the years include:
- Ultherapy, which uses Ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the face and neck.
- Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial infuses a special serum into the skin made up of essential vitamins, hyaluronic acid (HA), botanicals, amino peptides, and antioxidants that rehydrates the skin to optimize its appearance for “that special event.”
- Aquagold Fine touch, a stamp micro-needling device with 24K gold-plated needles that injects a customized serum containing HA filler, Botox and growth factors into the dermis to create skin that appears dewy and glowing with minimized pores.
- BBL Pulsed Light Photofacial treats unwanted rosacea redness, spider veins and brown skin pigmentation while building collagen within the skin.
- Sciton’s Moxi fractional laser is designed to treat visible signs of aging and produce even skin tone in as little as one to three treatments.
- Cutera’s Excel V Vascular laser, to treat larger unwanted blood vessels.
- InMode’s Triton Hair Removal Laser.
- Candela’s Profound Continuous Wave Radio Frequency (RF) provides noticeable skin tightening with a single treatment.
- Benev’s Sylfirm X Dual Wave Microneedling RF technology improves skin tightness and texture.
- Allergan’s CoolSculpting, non-surgically contours the body and neck by removing unwanted subcutaneous fat using cold therapy.
We have also introduced our private label skincare brand, Marietta Derm Essentials, to bring high quality skincare to our patients at a more affordable price point. Lastly, our practice has been honored by Revisions Skincare as one of its top 30 practices nationally each year, for the last several years.
A heartfelt thank you from our entire team to all of you for your ongoing loyalty and support for our practice and for making all of these successes possible!

Introducing the Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation: Derm Perfexion Peel with Microneedling
This innovative treatment combines two of the most powerful skin therapies to deliver unparalleled results, leaving your skin radiant, youthful, and flawless.
What is the Derm Perfexion Peel with Microneedling?
The Derm Perfexion Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to exfoliate and renew the skin, targeting a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. When combined with microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, enhances product absorption, and accelerates skin renewal.
The Benefits of This Dynamic Duo:
- Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone: The peel effectively removes dead skin cells and stimulates the production of new, healthy skin cells. Microneedling further refines the skin’s texture by promoting collagen and elastin production, leading to a smoother, more even complexion.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By encouraging the skin’s natural healing process, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin look younger and fresher.
- Improved Skin Clarity: The Derm Perfexion Peel works to diminish dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, while microneedling enhances the absorption of skin-brightening ingredients, resulting in a clearer, more luminous complexion.
- Minimization of Scarring: Whether you have acne scars or other types of skin imperfections, this powerful combination treatment significantly reduces their appearance, leaving your skin looking smoother and more uniform.
- Non-Surgical and Minimal Downtime: One of the greatest advantages of the Derm Perfexion Peel with Microneedling is that it delivers dramatic results without the need for invasive surgery. While you may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after treatment, these effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days.
What to Expect During Your Treatment:
Your journey to flawless skin begins with a consultation with one of our expert Medical Aestheticians, who will assess your skin and customize the treatment to meet your specific needs. During the procedure, the Derm Perfexion Peel is applied to your skin, followed by a microneedling session. The entire process is designed to be comfortable, with most clients describing the sensation as mild and tolerable.
Post-Treatment Care:
After your treatment, it’s essential to follow the post-care instructions provided by your Aesthetician to maximize results and ensure a smooth recovery. You may notice some mild peeling and redness in the days following your treatment, which is a normal part of the process. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your newly rejuvenated skin.

Our September Beauty event is nearly here! Our office has been working hard to create a fun event with many giveaways for our lovely patients. If you are considering having a procedure done, this event is the time to put down a deposit to secure a discount. It is not too soon to think about holiday parties and events you want to look your best for! While a Botox treatment has little to no downtime, full facial balancing and fillers can often come with a few days of swelling, bruising, and not feeling yourself. So, make sure you plan ahead! The earlier you start, the more options we have to make sure you look and feel your best.
