Dr. Lavit Ackerman, a dermatologist and owner of an aesthetic and beauty clinic, spent the beginning of the week (Mondays) in Eilat, as part of the launch: "Clinic on Wheels" for women evacuated from their homes from the Gaza envelope and southern Israel.

The "Clinic on Wheels" opened at the Yam-Suf Hotel in Eilat, where more than 150 evacuated women received anti-aging treatments, injections, facials and aesthetics, free of charge. The team also distributed over 150 Dr. Ackerman beauty products launched this month.

Eli Cohen, CEO of Clalit Health Services, surprised and came to congratulate Dr. Lahavit Ackerman and her team for their contribution over the past few months to the home front and the front.

According to Dr. Lavit Ackerman: "We are so happy to help and support the women of the envelope and the south of the country who have been suffering from existential anxiety, emotional stress and a sense of uncertainty, since October 7, causing low mood and tired facial skin. As someone who has been involved in aesthetics and beauty all her life and meets with hundreds of women a day, I decided to come to Eilat and show empathy for their situation. 

According to her: "I am happy that I was able to recruit my staff from the three clinics for this task, and thus I was able to transport advanced equipment for aesthetic treatments to the city of Eilat.
