AAFPRS Foundation, Candela® Partner to Aid Domestic Abuse Survivors

The Educational and Research Foundation of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS Foundation) and the Candela Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of energy based devices, are pleased to announce a collaboration that will support survivors of domestic violence.
