Project New Start sponsored by PicoWay 
Project New Start, a program of Alameda County, CA, helps at-risk young people make positive life changes, including assisting them in the removal of gang-related tattoos.  Syneron Candela's PicoWay PicoSecod tattoo removal system emits the shortest pulses destroying even the smallest ink particles resulting in faster clearance, and fewer treatments, making it the device of choice for tattoo removal.  Featuring two wavelengths, PicoWay is FDA cleared to treat most ink colors on all skin types.

Dress for Success sponsored by UltraShape® and VelaShape® III 
Dress for Success is a national organization that helps disadvantaged women enter the workforce by providing them with career tools, professional attire and a boost to their self-esteem.

UltraShape uses focused ultrasound technology to destroy fat cells, helping individuals regain confidence by losing up to two full sizes with minimal discomfort, no downtime and no visible signs of treatment.

VelaShape III combines three technologies for safe, effective body contouring. Patients see a dramatic reduction in cellulite and circumference, and new features ensure enhanced performance in fewer sessions.
