Greetings!

GroovyEverything we do at The Medical and Skin Spa acknowledges the contribution of general health to the health and overall appearance of skin.  That awareness starts with the questions we ask new patients about diet, supplements, and stress and continues on to the programs we encourage our patients to follow at home.

It's prevention taken to the nth degree. 

That's why we were so encouraged by the recent blog written by Susie Ellis, Publisher of SPA FINDER, one of our favorite spa magazines.  "Prevention has moved front and center on the world health stage," she wrote, "and the spa industry's role in prevention-focused health regimes will be greatly emphasized and more forcefully promoted in 2010."

"The analogous trend on the beauty front is the ever more intense focus on anti-aging treatments: a continued explosion of treatments, diets, and products (of course, sunscreen) that get aggressive early to...avoid costly, invasive actions after the fact."

When the idea of a medical spa first came to us ten years ago, that's exactly what we visualized.  It is a special feeling when your dreams are validated. 

More validation came along when the Doc was appointed to the Peer Review Panel for HEALTHY AGINGmagazine.  It's a very worthwhile publication that we definitely read every month.

We thank you for coming along and making it all possible..

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.

FACE 2 FACE WITH JOANN

OUTWITTING STRESS

Stress is a constant in our lives.  And even though there are some experts that tell us that some stress is good, outwitting it and getting through the day sometimes takes all the tricks we can muster-meditation, yoga, working out, walking. 
 
Athletes deal with stress on a regular basis and often use something called imagery to regain control.  I inadvertently stumbled upon the wisdom of that when a dear friend gave me a wonderful set of silver bracelets not long ago that were adorned with many ancient symbols of healing based on Balinese and Asian cultures.  My friend told me that they would promote health and wellness and although I originally dismissed the idea I soon discovered that merely looking at them seemed to center me and helped to defuse stressful moments.
 
Because of that experience I began to wear them regularly and I have been surprised how many of you noticed and commented about them.  Please ask me about these treasures if you seek calm and serenity.

Remember always to live, laugh, and love your life...

We are proud to be one of the first offices in the desert to be able to OPALoffer OPAL from CLARISONIC, the new wrinkle-fighter specifically for crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes.

OPAL uses brand new sonic infusion technology combined with Anti-Aging Sea Serum to provide an immediately noticeable reduction of fine lines and wrinkles that lasts for hours, with results that build over time.


We invite you to come in for a complimentary makeover and OPAL treatment and experience the magic for yourself.  It has even worked on the Doc!

As always we will have some wonderful wines and delectable finger foods.  Reservations are a must as space is at a premium.  Please call 760-674-4106 or email to joann@medicalandskinspa.com

JUVEDERM WITH LIDOCAINE FDA APPROVED

Correction with unsurpassed comfort.

Juvederm

We have literally just received notification that Juvederm, Allergan's proven hyaluronic acid wrinkle filler that is so perfect for lip corrections, has been FDA approved to contain lidocaine.

Lidocaine is a numbing agent that when combined with Juvederm will provide unsurpassed comfort for lip and wrinkle augmentations.  Combined with the comfortable nerve blocks the Doc already administers this will take lip corrections to a new level.

Call and ask about our introductory pricing.
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.

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