Greetings!

It has become our little tradition at Body Focus to become somebody else for one day and we all will be wearing costumes this year as well, like last year and the year before. But this time everybody is invited to join us for a little "Trick the Crowd, Treat Yourself" event on Friday October 30. Details below.

Diamond MediLift to tone Facial Muscles
Non-invasive Face & Body Lift |
|
 For the first time, an efficient and effective method has been developed for a non-surgical face-lift and body contouring. The Diamond Medilift provides a 5-wave length device that can be used to tone muscles anywhere on the body as well as decrease and mobilize fat in certain areas. This technique is based on the response of muscles to electric stimulation. Electric stimulation has been used for years to stimulate muscle tone.
It is clear that with age, muscle weakness and decreased tone are prevalent. Although one may exercise facial muscles, it is very difficult to do so when there are 108 muscles in the face. With proper pad placement, the muscles of the face can be stimulated to increase their size and tone. This will fill in the gaps that cause wrinkles from poor muscle tone. Equally important is the ability of the Medilift to tone and tighten the skin over the muscles. The program usually requires 10-12 treatments. These can be done 2-3 times per week.
 As with any muscle exercise, maintenance is required. Medilift requires maintenance of once a month. This procedure can replace face-lifts in many instances. This devise can even be used before or after facelifts where the muscles are not toned and have lost their bulk. Surgical facelifts do not address the muscle tone in most cases. The Medi-lift has been used to mobilize fat under the chin as well as on the hips, thighs and buttock. The contouring provided by one of the wavelengths can also be used to treat cellulite on the legs. We can provide a 10 minute treatment that will clearly show you the ability of this technique to elevate the drooping eyes and sagging muscles.Diamond MediLift treatments are available now at Body Focus.

Iodine prevents Thyroid Conditions
And is essential for healthy breast tissue |
|
 Sufficient iodine is essential to good health. Although the primary function of iodine is in the production to thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, many other organs require iodine for optimal function. Iodine deficiency is the associated with reduced mental performance, fibrocystic breasts disease and breast cancer. Iodine is also a potent antioxidant.
It is estimated that 15% of American women are below the World Health Organization's classification for iodine sufficiency and this is conservative estimate. Almost one third of the world's population lives in areas of iodine deficiency. The most recent trend in the US is a 50% reduction in iodine levels between the 1970 and 1990.
The RDA for iodine is 150 mcg/day, which pales in comparison with the daily average intake of 13.8mg/day for the Japanese population. The mainland Japanese consume on the average 89 times the US RDA and have reduced rates of many chronic diseases. In fact, the incidence of breast cancer is much lower in the Japan. The iodine intake of 150 mcg/day is the recommended dose for cats and dogs in Europe.
Iodine testing kits are available at our office.
The test requires an urine sample collected at home and mailed to the testing laboratory by the patient.

Earlobe Rejuvenation
for cute, perky earlobes |
|
Just like the skin on the rest of our body, the earlobes change over time with aging and exposure to the sun. As collagen and elasticity decrease, the earlobes can become elongated and thin, with fine wrinkling on the surface. This can make it difficult to wear certain types of earrings such as small pearls or stones, which can fall downward due to lack of structural support around the post of the earring. The piercing hole may also become weak and stretched out or prone to tearing. Some scientists have even suggested you can tell the relative age of someone by the length of their earlobes.
These earlobes are 5.25" long
In our cosmetic culture, earlobe rejuvenation is not uncommon and there are several options. If your earlobes are of a generally good size and shape but your earrings are starting to droop, a good option is to use an injectable filler such as Restylane or Juvederm to plump them up and add support. This can be done on your lunch hour, and you can continue to wear earrings immediately after the procedure.
If your earlobes are overly elongated, you can have them urgically shortened with a simple outpatient procedure. This is normally done under local anesthesia with sutures left in place for about a week. Earlobes with excessive wrinkling can be improved with either fractional or ablative skin resurfacing. The good news is, you don't ever have to retire your favorite pair of earrings.

Vitamin K2 is a must for healthy arteries |
Our cardiovascular system will benefit greatly from Vitamin K, but it's critical to take the right form. Vitamin K2 is an outstanding "calcium crossing guard" that helps reduce the amount of calcium that circulates in your arteries-where it is most definitely not wanted-and helps direct it to your bones-where you most definitely want it.
This makes vitamin K2 a must for healthy arteries. One of the most impressive studies on K2, known as the Rotterdam Study, suggests that subjects with the highest intake of vitamin K2 exhibited the best cardiovascular health. This is because K2 is so effective at keeping the level of calcium down in your arteries.
Best form of Vitamin K2 is a subtype MK-7
