Advanced Laser Aesthetics (The Original Plastic Surgery Spa) was the very first medical spa in the State of Florida. It is owned by Helga Girschik, BS, CME, a trained chemist and former CEO of Girex, an international chemical importing and exporting business. She is one of the few health care providers that is certified by the State of Florida in Laser Physics and its clinical applications. This enabled her to ride the "cusp of the wave" of new innovations in non-invasive to minimally invasive plastic surgery and to formulate treatment protocols based on science.
