Focus Group on skin health and beauty

We are reaching out to invite women between the ages of 40 and 65 to participate in one of two focus group sessions on Thursday, July 12: the first is from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m., and the second is from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Registration is REQUIRED.

Specifically, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) is holding conversations with women who are concerned about the health and beauty of their skin. In fact, many of you may have considered having (or have had) a skin procedure to enhance your look or combat the effects of aging.

If you, a friend or family member has considered treatment for such skin issues as wrinkles, sun damage, skin cancer, varicose veins, cellulite or other challenges, we invite you to take part in a 75-minute group session. We hope to further our understanding of your mindset and concerns when making this important decision to care for the health and vitality of your skin.

The focus groups will be held at the ASDS offices in Rolling Meadows, 5550 Meadowbrook Drive (not Court), Suite 120. We will provide light refreshments as well as award a $25 Starbucks gift card to each participant.

If you're interested, please send your name, age, email and cell phone number to Jolene Kremer at jkremer@asds.net.
