Greetings!

Alma Rosa Winery How did it happen so fast?

It seems as though it was only a week ago we were sweltering in 110 degree heat and here we are now with sweaters on, celebrating Halloween and getting ready to return to standard time. 

With the holidays almost upon us it is a great time to think about doing one or two of the little things for your skin and appearance that add up to big results.  To tempt you even more we are introducing several pre-holiday specials that can be combined with the promotions available from several of our stalwart pharmaceutical companies. 

When you come by remember to say hello to Jamie, the newest member of our team and our Patient Care Coordinator.  Jamie is an accomplished customer service specialist and a welcome addition to our staff.

And please don't forget to send us your thoughts, concerns, ideas, and pet peeves.  We promise to respond!

Doc and the Skin Wizards
FACE 2 FACE WITH JOANN

 
Alma Rosa Winery SKIN...
THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY


No surprises here...your skin is the ultimate accessory to your holiday glow.  And with just a few weeks to go before the holiday crush begins, now is the perfect time to jumpstart your skin and achieve the radiance and luminescence you've always wanted.

I recommend starting with our Signature Dermal Planing Skin Treatment.  It's a perfect way to get rid of the dry external skin layers along with bacteria and oils. 

Follow that with a no-downtime Laser Genesis using our gentle CoolGlide Laser.  This comfortable treatment builds collagen, shrinks pores, and reduces redness.

End with a photofacial using our Intelligent Pulsed Light IPL that lightens brown spots.

For the ultimate red carpet look, add the Dermal Quench hydrating treatment that is a favorite of celebrities at Kate Somerville's spa on Melrose and only available in the desert at The Medical and Skin Spa.

If purchased individually this combination would be $750 but is available through the end of December for only $500.

And remember, laugh and love your life!

Until next time...

HYDRELLE™ PRE-HOLIDAY PROMO
The newest hyaluronic acid filler with Lidocaine
for enhanced comfort...

 
HYDRELLE has now become one of the most reliable products in our office.  The comfort level is appreciated by everyone and the product itself has been extremely well-tolerated.  Exactly as promised by Coapt, the manufacturers, the 1+ cc. syringe goes a long way. 

With the Doc's extensive experience in wrinkle fillers, one syringe is usually enough to correct the naso-labial folds.  This makes HYDRELLE comfortable from an economic standpoint as well.

HYDRELLE has introduced a pre-holiday promotion of $75 off the price of each treatment.  When you bring a friend in they get $75 off each syringe as well.  There is no minimum and no maximum purchase
 
Call 760-674-4106 and make an appointment today for your free consultation and to look at some before and after pictures.

HYDRELLE B&A
 

GET STARTED WITH LATISSE® AND GET $20 BACK!


 Alma Rosa Winery
LATISSE is a very unique drug that encourage eyelash growth.  It is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.  LATISSE users may see results starting at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks.

Laatisse before and after
 
 
ALLERGAN, makers of LATISSE, is offering a $20 rebate for purchases made before December 1, 2009.  Don't miss out!
HAIR REMOVAL

CoolGlide Magic

Unwanted hair is right up there with brown spots as being one of our Hair removalpatients' biggest concerns.  The CoolGlide laser we have is wonderful for reducing unwanted hair on the face, underarms, back, chest, legs, and bikini area with comfort and efficiency.  There is no comparison with electrolysis, either in comfort, cost, or effectiveness.
 
Brandi, R.N., our laser nurse, has been doing laser hair removal for almost five years.  She has the wonderful and rare combination of skill, experience, and compassion.
 
We invite you to come in for a free consultation to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure and to enjoy our special price of $99 per treatment for upper lip and chin, underarms, or bikini line.  Call 760-674-4106 to schedule your appointment and look great in that special holiday party!
ALLERGAN CUSTOMER LOYALTY PROGRAM

In the next few days Allergan will be instituting a Customer Loyalty Program at certain select medical offices which will provide even more incentives for the purchase of BOTOX, Juvederm, and LATISSE, as well as the entire array of Allergan products.

FRAXEL PRICED BY THE TREATMENT! 

Many of our patients have discovered that one FRAXEL treatment often Allergan logoprovides up to 40 percent improvement which is often sufficient to achieve the result they seek.  In an attempt to accommodate those patients we are making FRAXEL available at $550 per face treatment.  It's a perfect way to try out FRAXEL without committing to a full package.

 THE LAST WORD
 

Racing in the Rain THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN by Garth Stein is an enthralling, unforgettable book that has been compared to works by Paulo Cuelho and Richard Bach.  As far as I am concerned it is in a class by itself.  I read it once, put is aside for a week, and found myself reading it again.

This is one passage that stuck in my mind...

"Such a simple concept, yet so true: that which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny.  Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves."


The award-winning Medical and Skin Spa is a state-of-the-art medical skin clinic located within the spa at Hyatt Grand Champions Resort in Indian Wells, California.  We have treatments to fit every budget and we invite you to call 760-674-4106 or visit us on the web for more information.

Remember to take a moment and forward this email to a friend.  They will thank you for the tip.
 
Sincerely,

Richard Foxx, MD and the Skin Wizards
