Hope Lutheran
(Continued from page 12) an authentic Oktoberfest with German appetizers and beer, a free catered lunch inspired by Martin Luther, a silent auction and a mariachi band (because what’s a celebration in Southern California without a mariachi band?). History The church at Mansfield and Melrose was established in 1942, after a small American Lutheran congregation purchased the site from the Melrose Park Methodist Church, which had fallen on hard times. Pastor Hubert K. (H.K.) Rasbach came to Hope Lutheran in 1947, serving the congregation until 1980, when his son Pastor Mark Rasbach took over. In 1983, the building burned in an arson fire, but by 1985 a new, 15,000-square-foot facility had been erected, which now houses 12-step groups, children’s relief organizations and an emergency food dispensary, as well as the congregation. A 25-minute documentary on the history of Hope Lutheran will be shown Sun., Oct. 8 at 10:30 a.m. For more information, call 323-938-9135 or visit hopelutheranchurch.net.

skin
deep by Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald
Q: I may sound naive, but how do I begin to decide which anti-aging treatment to choose? A: Not at all! And are you ready for some silver lining? Believe it or not, this is a great time to be getting older. With technology advancing rapidly, I can continually offer my patients a wider range of options. Let me narrow your selection - Fractora by Invasix provides improvements previously only achieved by multiple technologies. Fractora is the most advanced fractional radio frequency system - improving lines, wrinkles, scars, brown spots and redness, including broken blood vessels. Fractora is an ablative treatment, so you can anticipate comprehensive skin resurfacing. Yet the handpiece allows us to apply gentle heat to localized sites (leaving the untouched skin to accelerate healing), and to choose the depth of penetration. Because of this, we can customize your session more than with any other fractional treatment. Fractora is most commonly used on crows’ feet, upper and lower eyelids, smile lines, cheeks, jowls and the neck. We will likely recommend three or more sessions spaced several weeks apart. You’ll immediately see smoother, tighter skin, and minimized discoloration. And for even more upside? You can anticipate increased elastin and collagen production well into the new year - and beyond. Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald is a Board Certified Dermatologist located in Larchmont Village with a special focus on anti-aging technology. She is a member of the Botox Cosmetic National Education Faculty and is an international Training Physician for Dermik, the makers of the injectable Sculptra. She is also among a select group of physicians chosen to teach proper injection techniques for Radiesse, the volumizing filler, around the world.
