Greetings!

GroovyWe are already into January so we thankfully don't have to talk about new year's resolutions and all that.  There are enough good signs on the horizon, however, to make us smile.

The weather in the desert has been amazing with beautiful, bright sunshiney mornings to put a spring in everyone's step.  We've made a few changes in The Medical and Skin Spa, added a few treatments, and generally continued our search for things we can do to enhance every patient's experience and make them look better than they ever thought possible without surgery. 

And since we are all about the experience, we invite you to let us know if we can make your experience with us even more memorable.  This office functions best, after all, as a give-and-take between our patients and our staff.  That's the only way we can know we are doing our best.

We are also involved in a survey that will analyze our performance and compare it to other medical spas in the US.  If you have been in the office recently you should have been given this.  It is completely anonymous and your help in filling it out is appreciated.

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and on Facebook or visit our website so you keep up with all of our latest superdeals as well as all the new advances in this rapidly changing field.

We are going to make it a great year and we are so glad you will be with us in this incredible adventure.

MAINTENANCE...

I always feel fortunate and privileged when patients ask me what I do to keep the ravages of time at bay.  And my answer is always the same: Maintenance and a consistent program of small baby steps. 

I definitely practice what we preach.  In addition to making sure I get my quota of fresh water daily and my vitamins, including Omega-3's, I am a conscientious user of the cosmeceutical products we offer keeping to a simple morning and evening regimen.

I have a Facial Genesis series about every two years or so and get a Titan treatment on alternate years, whenever my turkey neck begins to reappear.  I also make it a point to have our signature, anti-aging skin treatment with dermal planing every six to seven weeks.  When small wrinkles show up I have a Botox treatment and when the deep crevices return I have the Doc inject me with Radiesse or Juvederm.

All in all it is not a great effort and as the old adage goes, when you take care of the small things the big things take care of themselves.  Let me know if you would like to discuss any of these procedures and I will be glad to speak with you confidentially, of course.

Remember, as well, to try to find a reason to laugh every day, live every moment, and love your life.  Happy twenty-ten!

LAURA WEAVER
on the cover of SPA

As a professional lifestyle model, featured in numerous national publications (including SPA, one of our favorites), Laura knows a thing or two about skin.  She has been our friend, supporter, and patient almost since day one.

At one point, she wrote: "My BOTOX and chemical peels are keeping me fresh and camera-ready.  But the warmth of your office is what keeps me driving two hours to see you."

And, no, we are not going to tell you what she had done in the office but we can tell you that she is a conscientious user of good products and a practitioner of healthy habits.  She is a perfect example of our concept of health and beauty, inside and out.


Way to go, Laura!
SUBLIMINAL DREAM INVASION MARKETING

THE LATEST MEDICAL AND SKIN SPA INNOVATION

The marketing gurus at The Medical and Skin Spa have been working on some new advances including a plan to infiltrate the dreams of patients and implant thoughts about the importance of skin care.  We had our doubts as to its effectiveness until just last week when we received an email from our esteemed friend, well-known international symphonic and operatic conductor Steven Byess.

Allergan logo"I don't know what you are doing," Mr. Byess wrote, "but you have a presence in my mind! Please tell JoAnn that I had a dream last week with her in it. She was stretched out in a chaise lounge by a pool, and as I walked by she scolded me and told me I needed a dermal quench! (It's good marketing, Richard, if you can infiltrate dreams.) I am overdue to visit you, and I would love to return as soon as my schedule will allow."

We always enjoy finding effective new ways to market but this one tops all of them.  By all means let us know if you are having any unusual dreams lately and we'll report them in the newsletter.
ALWAYS COMPLIMENTARY PARKING!

Free valet and shuttle service, too.

Visitors to the office will note the presence of a parking attendant in our lot.  If you are stopped either going in or going out, simply tell the attendant that you are a patient of Doctor Foxx's and you will be waved through.

The resort is often host to a variety of meetings, parties, etc.  As a result, parking is sometimes at a premium (including the spaces we have reserved for our patients).

Don't despair!  Merely drive over to the main entrance of the resort, valet your trusty carriage, and ask for a shuttle to the office.  We will validate your parking stub after your appointment, call a shuttle for you, and you'll be on your way. 

It's as easy as that.  Valet parking is also a good idea if it is raining.  You can exit under the porte cochere and stay dry.

JUMP START YOUR SKIN

For those patients returning from far places or those just wishing to recover from holiday overload we are offering the opportunity to jump start your skin with our minimal downtime Vitalize retinoic acid peel followed with a series of signature exfoliative dermal planing skin treatments.

Priced individually the cost would be $680 but we are offering the entire package (and the pleasure of coming into the office five times) for only $450.

BOTOX

We have decided to hold the line on our BOTOX pricing at $10 per unit for another month.  Please note that this is only good for treatments of 35 units or more.

DERMAL QUENCH

With so many charity and philanthropic events during the Season in the Sun, Dermal Quench is a must-have treatment.  This combines the absolutely amazing hydrating properties of hyaluronic serum and peptides with a gentle stream of oxygen that will leave your skin ready for the red carpet.

We know whereof we speak:  We acquired the secret from our esteemed Hollywood connection, KATE SOMERVILLE.  She perfected it on the celebs who needed to look their best before photo shoots and award shows.  We have been featured with Katy on local television and are proud to be the only office in the desert that provides this extraordinary treatment. 

Enjoy red-carpet skin in time for your special event for only $125.  The regular price is $150.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

We are continuing to offer one session of laser hair removal on the upper lip and chin, the underarms, or the bikini line for $99 using our tried and true CUTERA CoolGlide system. 

"Cool" it is, and comfortable, too.

ERASE BROWN SPOTS

Fight back against brown spots with our justly famous (as seen in DESERT MAGAZINE) dermal planing skin treatment and follow that with an IPL (Pulsed Light) treatment on your face for on $225.  The regular price is $300.
 
We encourage you to set up a private, complimentary consultation by calling 760-674-4106 to determine which approach can yield the best results and to formulate a comprehensive program.  And you can always visit us at www.medicalandskinspa.com for the latest updates.
