Ring in the Holiday Season with Avalon’s Festive Experiences

I

t’s the most wonderful time of the year and Avalon, the Alpharetta mixed-use destination, is gearing up to once again be North Fulton’s home for the ho-ho-holidays! This year, Avalon has reimagined its signature Holiday Experience to offer more merry moments with smaller gatherings for the community.

Beginning Nov. 22, Avalon will kick off the holiday season with The Lighting of Avalon: A Twelve Day Celebration. Avalon has transformed the one-day tree lighting extravaganza to span 12 days filled with smaller, festive events for the whole family. At 7 p.m. each night during the 12-day celebration, guests will be dazzled by a spectacular stage fireworks show around Avalon’s grand 40-foot tree. More details are outlined below: • Avalon on Ice Performances – Holiday magic is found gliding along the rink this season. Throughout the celebration, guests will experience festive ice skating performances from local talents as well as special live music concerts on the ice rink stage for guests to enjoy while skating or holiday shopping.

• Pop-up Concerts – While shopping and strolling down the Boulevard, local singer Chris Cauley will pop-up several times throughout the 12-day extravaganza with live music.

Chris will perform atop Concierge, surprising and delighting guests with holly jolly tunes as they experience Avalon’s winter wonderland.

• Up On The Rooftop – Clink, clink, clink! On Nov. 25 and Dec. 2, grab your most festive friends for a festive rooftop happy hour, complete with craft cocktails, light bites and more.

In addition, Avalon will activate throughout the holiday season with a variety of festive experiences, including: • Avalon on Ice – Lace those skates because Avalon’s Rockefeller Center-inspired ice rink returns starting Nov. 22.

General admission tickets are $18 and $14 per child under nine, including skates.

• Holiday Market at Avalon – From Nov. 22 through Jan. 3, the holiday market will open at the corner of Avalon Boulevard and 1st Street, featuring a one-of-a-kind collection of local

makers and merchants, as well as a festive pop-up bar featuring cocktails from Biltong Bar. • City of Refuge Christmas Tree Lot – Beginning Nov. 23, Avalon has partnered with local nonprofit City of Refuge to provide families with the perfect Fraser and Balsam Fir Christmas trees. The lot will also feature garland and wreaths, and will be open until all trees are sold.

• Santa at Avalon – On Nov. 23, the jolly man in red will take up residence in an open-air, North Pole-inspired cottage in Palmer Plaza for another season of festive photo ops. Social distancing will be enforced and masks will be required until it’s time for the photo. Throughout the season, Santa will also be available for outdoor storytime and special breakfast appearances.

Each holiday experience will incorporate special safety protocols, such as pre-purchased tickets to control crowds, frequent cleanings and sanitization around property, encouraging the use of masks and more. To stay up-to-date on all of Avalon’s holiday happenings, visit www.experienceavalon.com.

Seeing is believing: Hairline PRP for women Brought to you by — Anderson Center for Hair Dr. Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, and the Anderson Center for Hair are worldrenowned for their surgical skill and natural results in the field of hair restoration, but there might be somethings about the work they do and the women they treat that you don't know. Dr. Anderson has been listed as one of the top 20 hair restoration surgeons in the world by patient advocate Spencer Stevenson of SpexHair.com twice. He holds three board certificates issued by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. He has treated patients from over 60 countries, presented at conferences from England to Japan, trained other physicians from around the world, been voted "Best of" for 7 years in a row, and has been featured in countless magazines. However, surgery is not the only thing that Dr. Ken

Anderson, Dr. Daniel Lee, and their highly experienced team (almost 150 years of combined experience) do at their Alpharetta and Atlanta offices. There is also a wide range of non-surgical options available to men and, surprising to many, women. They have treated 1000s of women who suffer from thinning hair or hair loss.

Often women are unaware of the treatment options available to them to combat thinning hair and hair loss. Thinning hair and hair loss is something many women will face in their lifetime, statistically, over 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss.

If your ponytail is not quite as robust as it once was or if your part seems wider - you are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss.

Despite the fact this is experienced by the majority of women, it's not something that is openly discussed. "While some women do benefit from surgical restorations, there are many non-surgical options you can do at home or every few months like Botox", says Dr. Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS. Low

light laser therapy is one of these options that you can do in your own home for a few minutes each day. Dr. Anderson describes it as "sending your hair follicles for a workout". . Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) and exosomes treatments are done in the office in less than an hour every few months or every several months depending on a variety of factors and your goals. Both of these treatments involve injections, like Botox or filler, that stimulate the hair follicle.

If you have concerns about your hair and are tired of unfulfilled promises by over the counter solutions, now is the perfect time to meet with a doctor who has focused his career for almost 20 years on only treating hair loss. Thinning hair and hair loss is distressing and emotional for many women.

But there are effective, medically proven options located conveniently in Avalon for you. For a complimentary consultation to see if these treatments are right for you call 404-256-4247 or email at info@ andersonhsc.com.
