New Year, New Look: A Chamber of Commerce Event


The Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce held a networking event for two of its newest members on Jan. 25 in Englewood Cliffs. The event centered around introducing The Face Laser Clinic and The Training Zone, two Englewood Cliffs businesses that are members of the Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce, which includes not just the borough of Fort Lee but surrounding areas. Although weather was a factor in the event’s turnout, a good number of people showed up to enjoy a 5-6 p.m. networking hour and a 6-7 p.m. presentation on one of The Face Laser Clinic’s elective surgery options.





The Face Laser Clinic is located in the same building where the event was hosted: 300 Sylvan Avenue in Englewood Cliffs. The Managing Director, Jason Lee, hosted the company’s 6 p.m. presentation on the clinic’s “thermage” services. The Face Laser Clinic does everything from facial lifts, to Botox, to chemical peels, hair removal, liposuction and Fraxel Repair.

“We do everything from top to bottom,” Lee said.

The clinic has more of a “spa” feel than the normal cold, white aura of a hospital, with a beautiful waiting area and relaxing music playing throughout the facility’s speakers. The plastic surgeron on board is the facility’s medical director, Dr. Steven Fallek, a twice certified surgeon with expertise in the face and body.


Dr. Fallek performed a Q&A session about plastic surgery after Solta Medical gave a quick presentation on Thermage, one of The Face Laser Clinic’s reconstruction options.

The other company represented at the networking event was The Training Zone, owned by 23 year old Jonathon O’Donnell. The Training Zone is a personal training facility staffed by professionals with no less than a decade of experience in the field, says O’Donnell. Every member has their own private trainer and comes in for sessions by appointments.

O’Donnell has been the owner for six months; he purchased the business from Erik Ten Cate, who is the presently the head trainer there. The Training Zone has a number of big clients, including Englewood Cliffs Mayor Joseph C. Parisi, Jr, who was in attendance at the event last night.

After The Face Laser Clinic’s presentation O’Donnell gave a short but sweet introduction of The Training Zone, and offered anyone in attendance at the Chamber of Commerce event two free training sessions at his facility.

Both companies have only been members of The Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce for a few months. This was the first Chamber of Commerce event the companies attended. The evening was organized by the commerce’s president, Gloria Oh, who has known Jason Lee personally for quite some time and who knows Jonathon O’Donnell because she is a client of The Training Zone.

“I wanted to do an event in the beginning of the year having to do with fitness and looking better for the new year. I thought that combining [these two businesses] would be a great idea,” said Oh.

The next Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce event will be in February.

Indiba Radio Frequency






What is Indiba?

Indiba is a new non-invasive system providing a pain-free solution for skin rejuvenation. It can be used on sagging skin, double chin and wrinkles to firm these areas and on parts of the body with cellulite and stretch marks. It is also an ideal treatment to help reduce post-surgical swelling (eg. Liposuction, tummy tucks and facelifts).


How does Indiba work?

The Indiba radio frequency is based on raising the temperature deep under the skin by circulating high frequency currents through the tissue being treated. The radio frequency energy that is transformed to heat energy penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, activate the blood circulation, nourish and revitalize the skin cells. The outer skin is not affected or damaged. The result is younger and firmer skin.

What are the benefits of the treatment?

For the face, the treatment improves sagging skin, bags and dark circles, fine lines and deep wrinkles, double chin, scars and delivers overall skin luminosity.

For the body, the treatment improves visible signs of cellulite, localized fats, pigmentation, varicosities (enlarged veins), tired legs, and stretch marks. It also has a firming effect on breasts and buttocks, and tones skin.

How long does it take?

The treatment duration is about 10-45 minutes per session.

Is this procedure painful?

The procedure is painless and most patients will feel a pleasantly warm sensation.

What can I expect after the treatment?

Patients can expect a glowing, plump and rejuvenated skin after first treatment.

How long will the results last?

Results will last for up to a week. Patients will be given a course of treatment for optimal results. For the most effective results, the patients need to repeat the treatment about 10 or more sessions over a period of time, which will be advised by your practitioner.

What are the side effects?

There are no side effects. However, after the procedure, the patient should drink 2-4 liters of water within 24 hours to excrete as much waste as possible for the enhancement of treatment result.
