In our office and throughout our patient publications we feature
a unique work of art called Polage (TM) art. Created by
talented local artist Austine
Wood-Comarow, the Polage (TM) art
on our website features the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne.
As the story goes, Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree to escape
the piercing love that Apollo held for her. After her metamorphosis, Apollo's
feelings did not diminish, and as a symbol of his undying love, he wore
a laurel wreath in his hair.
Today, the laurel wreath is a symbol of
excellence. At Academic and Aesthetic Dermatology Consultants, we have
chosen to use the laurel wreath in our logo to signify our commitment
to excellence in all aspects of your care.
When you visit our office, please take
a moment to enjoy the transformation of Daphne as depicted in the Polage
(TM) art.
