Thanks for the hundreds of visitors who made our attendance at the Fresh Express Classic such a big success this past week. Solta Medical staff and clinicians were on hand dispensing safe skin tips, passing out sunscreen and wide brimmed hats, and our physicians and nurses conducted skin consultations on board the Solta Medical Airstream. Our thanks to Dr. Vic Narurkar, Dr. Zakia Rahman, Dr. Michael Papalian, Dr. Jill Hessler, Dr. Hoffman & Terry Goehner, Dr. Joseph Basile, Anna Walker, Kerrie Jiang, Dr. James Wu & Dr. Alice Chong for helping Solta advance skin care safety.

Solta opened the first day of competition at the Fresh Express Classic today with a press release announcing Fraxel re:store treatment for pre-cancerous lesions, http://www.solta.com/NewsReleases.cfm, and continued by offering skin education through the Solta Safe Skin Zone. Jerry Rice, NFL Hall of Famer and Tournament Host, wowed spectators by competing in today’s round. Come visit tomorrow where we’ll will be offering skin cancer screenings from Noon to 2 pm.

Today begin Solta’s Safe Skin Zone at the Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae. Nationwide Tour golfers had their skin evaluated by Solta Medical clinicians, and learned helpful tips about how to take care of their skin when they are competing. Kyle Riefers from Atlanta, GA, is wearing Thermage & Fraxel on his shirt during the tournament, helping to raise awareness of sun protection.

 To kickoff our sponsorship of the Fresh Express Classic, Solta was on hand to help raise money for St. Rose Hospital last night at its annual fundraiser, Wine, Women & Shoes held at the historic Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, CA. Dr. Vic Narurkar performed a Thermage procedure, and the Solta road crew helped support the cause by purchasing some fancy footwear.

A little rain could not damper our spirits in setting up the Solta Medical Airstream at TPC Stonebrae today! Join us tomorrow for Family Day and the Nike Celebrity Shootout!

The illumiNATION Tour was a huge hit and lots of fun! Since September we met people in 31 cities across the U.S. We grabbed attention in Times Square, got rained out in sunny Florida, lived it up in Las Vegas and busiest ourselves window shopping on Maiden Lane in San Francisco. Through it all, we enjoyed thousands of visitors to our state-of-the-art Airstream, and traveled countless miles.

The Solta U.S. crew is officially signing off on our blogging and tweeting for the 2009 IllumiNATION Tour. Thanks for the fantastic memories! Stay tuned for more…
