Greetings!

Reliable sources report that stress is responsible for up to 70 percent of visits to a doctor's office.  Because the skin is the body's most sensitive end-organ, that number is even higher in cosmetic dermatology. 
 
Read on as we show you how to control stress while maintaining your skin and addressing the mind and spirit...worthy goals, indeed, from the Skin Wizards at your neighborhood medical skin clinic.

 
SKIN DEEP?
Doc injecting     It's much more than that!
It has repeatedly been shown that individuals who take the time to care for their skin and appearance are much more likely to pursue a healthier lifestyle.  Whether it is working out, eating right, or taking supplements, there is a definite correlation with skin health.  This cohort of patients has even been shown to live longer. 
 
While we cannot promise that regular skin treatments will prolong life, we do know that the environment in which we practice is conducive to peace of mind and reduction of stress.  All of our patients are encouraged to come early for their appointments, to change into cozy robes, and to avail themselves of the amenities of Agua Serena spa as part of their treatment program. 
 
Susie Ellis, publisher of SPAFINDER and respected spa expert, says: "...because of stress factors...the spa-medicine relationship has never been richer or stronger."  Your skin treatment therefore becomes a perfect "two-fer," an opportunity to carve out a precious moment of time from your overloaded schedule while doing something priceless for your skin and heath.
 
A major proponent of healthy living as well as the latest non-invasive, no-downtime aesthetic treatments, Doctor Foxx is available to every patient for nutritional and supplement consultations.  And while all of our staff is versed in pranayama breathing skills, the Doc will personally instruct anyone in this stress-relieving modality.
 
More than ever, the pursuit of healthy, clear, firm skin is far from just "skin deep."

 
LIQUID FACELIFT
Cloudburst
The NEW NEW Face
What can be done for some patients using fillers such as RADIESSE® to volumize the mid-face must be seen to be believed.  The Doc has many representative pictures from the more than 800 treatments he has performed.  The technique is ideal for patients who have, over time or due to weight loss, lost collagen in their cheeks resulting in deeper naso-labial folds and increasingly prominent jowls.  Injecting  a long-lasting filler such as RADIESSE® restores the youthful convexities of the cheeks, reduces the troughs and darkness under the eyes, diminishes the depths of the folds, and even makes the jowls less prominent. 
 
Although featured in NEW YORK magazine about six months ago as "The New New Face," this is a technique the Doc has been doing, and teaching to others, for at least two years.  Labeled the "liquid facelift" by some in the press, the mid-face correction has many of the attractions of a facelift without a surgical procedure and at a fraction of the expense.

FOCUS GROUP

We want to know what you're thinking.
The last focus group we held was such a success for our patients as well as our staff that we will be repeating the experience on Thursday evening, March 5, 2009, between 5:30 and 6:30PM.  We are interested in exploring the place of cosmetic and aesthetic medicine in the lives of our patients particularly with the changes taking place in our country.
 
Refreshments and some interesting wine will (of course) be served.
 
As the group will be meeting in our office, attendance is limited to the first ten respondents and previous attendees are not eligible.  Please let us know of your interest as soon as possible by email or by phone to 760-674-4106.
