Our Story
Early Beginnings
Our story starts with a passion for helping people look and feel their best. Founders Barbara and Leon Prete began their journey with "Face & Body" in 1998, a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation through massage and aesthetics. As their passion for aesthetics grew, they also became pioneers in laser education. They decided to start one of the first laser hair removal businesses in the state of Connecticut, and quickly became well-known educators in the field.
History and Transition from Face & Body to AAC
“Face & Body” expanded over time into Anti-Aging Centers of Connecticut. Its menu of services quickly grew as our founders stepped into the cosmetic laser industry, and so did their skillset as they pioneered laser education in the area. Together, they created a comprehensive laser training program that has helped to credential hundreds of MDs, APRNs, RNs, estheticians and more. Their training encompassed every detail of what it takes to wield the power of a cosmetic laser, including the importance of getting clients incredible results while maximizing their safety at each and every appointment.
