Greetings!

Independence Hall

But for the aura that surrounds the building, the twinge of familiarity when you see it for the first time, Independence Hall is not an imposing structure.  The actual meeting hall where the signing of the Declaration of Independence took place 234 years ago is not quite as large as the lobby of the spa. 
 
Independence Hall is not far from where I went to medical school.  On some beautiful days I would take a book or two and study on the spacious lawn in the back.  Between that and my frequent forays to Revolutionary War battlefields I almost literally spent eight years of my life with the Founding Fathers looking over my shoulder. 
 
With Independence Day hard by and with everything that is going on in our country it is a good time to remember what went on there that hot June and July in 1776.  Facing war with a mighty nation, facing capture and possible ruin, 56 merchants, farmers, jurists, tradesmen signed a document that put a price on their heads because they believed in the ideals of freedom.  Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary War, another had two sons captured. Nine of the fifty-six fought and died from wounds or the hardships of the Revolutionary War.
 
What they did there gave us a priceless gift...our liberty.
 
It's an even better time to remember the last sentence of that amazing document.  "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance of the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
 
We can do no less, this very special Fourth of July, 2010. 

Happy Fourth of July from Doc and the Skin Wizards.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

It's been almost 20 years since the big hit, i.e. plastic surgery, was the anti-aging treatment of choice.  Nowadays the secret to looking (and feeling) younger is a series of baby steps I call "preventive maintenance."  
 
Proctor & Gamble underwrites a considerable body of basic research, both to develop new products and to market existing products.  Just about 18 months ago they funded a study that digitally removed wrinkles and skeletal differences and compared the tone, texture, and coloration of the skin. The findings were nothing short of eye-opening.  In every case, skin that was uniform in color, had fewer large pores, fewer broken vessels, and fewer brown spots was graded as looking more youthful across the board. 
 
The lesson is clear:  Your skin is the number one barometer to looking younger and healthier.
 
What you do for your health before you come into the office is as important as the measures you take to improve your skin after your treatment.  But what is truly amazing is what we can do for your skin with no pain and no downtime while you are in the office. 
 
We combine our legendary ultra-relaxing one-hour dermal planing facial with our 1064 Nd:YAG laser and follow that with an IPL treatment.  It's a two-hour session we call FACIAL GENESIS.  We recommend a series of three.

If there is one secret to good skin, this is it.  I know...I have this treatment series done every two and a half years.
 
Now for the good news.  I feel it is so important that this be done on a regular basis that we have lowered the price on FACIAL GENESIS from $1995 to $1200 for the summer.  One two-hour treatment session will be priced at $500.

Don't delay.  The prices will be going up before you know it.

In the meantime, remember to live, laugh, and love your skin...

BOTOX STILL ONLY $10 PER UNIT

 BOTOX logo

We have decided to hold the line on our BOTOX pricing at $10 per unit for another month. Please note that this excellent price is only good for treatments of 35 units or more and cannot be combined with any other offers.

LIP SERVICE

Our three-pronged attack on restoring and maintaining lip volume while improving those pesky lip lines (that attract lipstick like a magnet) involves:

1. Restoring lip volume with comfortable Juvederm XC (with lidocaine),

2. Maintaining the volume with daily use of Lip Plump by Skin Medica, shown to improve lip volume and coloration,

3. Using the OPAL with the special serum twice daily around the lips.

If priced separately, these effective measures would cost $955 (based on one syringe of Juvederm XC, one set of Lip Plump, and an OPAL) but you can enjoy them all during the summer for the low price of $825 (a savings of almost 15%).

The OPAL is also absolutely magical for lines around the eyes!

But you must act now as the price of this will go up by Labor Day.

Allergan logoLASER 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.comfor the latest updates.
JUVEDERM WITH LIDOCAINE FDA APPROVED

Correction with unsurpassed comfort.

Juvederm

Juvederm, Allergan's proven hyaluronic acid wrinkle filler that is so perfect for lip corrections, has just been FDA approved to contain lidocaine.  The Doc has already used Juvederm XC on several patients and is very pleased with the results.

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 FREE PARKING!

In the seven years we have been at Hyatt we have seen the parking lot attempt many different incarnations to alleviate the very rare times when there are no spaces available.  The latest attempt involves the erection of an attendant kiosk.

All our patients need to know, however, is that their parking is always FREE.

Hyatt booth
Parking booth
Merely pull up to the kiosk (pictured above) and press the green button.  Take a ticket and the gate will swing up as neatly as Sinbad's rock. 

Before you leave the office be sure to have us autograph that ticket.  Merely return the chit to the attendant when you leave and he will send you on your way with a cheery wave.

While that's all there is to it, you have to remember to bring your ticket into the office.  To be on the safe side we will remind you before you leave.

Should no spaces be available, remember all you need do is drive to the front of the hotel and take advantage of complimentary valet parking.  Shuttle service to and from our office is always available upon your request.
  A HORSE ARTIST!?!

Buggs

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.  That is actually a horse painting a picture. 

The horse's name is Buggs and he is a retired barrel-racing quarter horse living in Wisconsin.  His human, Carol Jensen, is an artist.  Not long ago, when she realized that Buggs was bored out of his mind just standing around and eating, Carol gave him a paintbrush.

The result is a series of wonderful abstracts, two of which can be seen in our office.  The picture above is of Buggs painting "Salsa," currently hanging in Lynne's treatment room.  

You can view Buggs at work here.

Evidence, if you need any more, that the envelope exists only to be pushed, even if it is by a horse.

 THE LAST WORD
 
     
                                                                                     
"Freedom had been hunted round the globe;
reason was considered as rebellion;
and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think.
But such is the irresistible nature of truth,
that all it asks, and all it wants,
is the liberty of appearing."
Thomas Paine
