Greetings!



"Life cannot be captured.  The human heart cannot be captured.  The moment of creation itself is fleeting."

Richard Gere as Parker Wilson in HACHI, A DOG'S TALE
 
Creativity is a process that can't be looked at too closely; it is changed by the very act of observing.
 
Since the publication of my novel, SPIRIT RANCH, I have discovered that working to make a face more youthful or writing a novel have more in common then might be imagined at first glance.  There is a transcendent moment with both acts, a point in time where preparation, study, experience, and heart all come together.  The result is out there for all the world to see, an intimate baring of the soul, a point where explanations stop and the finished product is left to stand on its own. Or fall.
 
When it works it is like a perfect moment in sports, an achievement that, once experienced, draws you back again and again.
 
This much I do know: Creativity begins with passion, a fire to do something, to place your mark where there was nothing.  Unless you are Mozart, an extensive groundwork has to be in place often requiring years of study and of preparation. What is ultimately seen as effortless is actually the confluence of many forces.  Lucille Ball used to say that what made I LOVE LUCY so successful was that she practiced and rehearsed so much the finished product looked spontaneous.
 
The moment of creation is wildly exhilarating and humbling at the same time.  At the end you are left wondering where it all came from because when it works out you realize that you were somewhere off to the side while it was going on, at once an observer and an instrument of the Ultimate Creator, privileged and blessed to be part of the result.

Happy Autumn from Doc and the Skin Wizards.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
TO US


 
It seems hardly possible that on September 27 we began our eighth year as The Medical and Skin Spa.  It has been an amazing adventure.

Looking back and being on the cutting edge of the new field of aesthetic medicine it seemed at times as if we were rebuilding an F18 jet fighter while traveling at the speed of sound.  Certainly not many dull moments but we are proud of the many innovations we added to this new field.

At our kickoff party in 2003, Dick Monfort, the owner of the resort, said that if they had made any mistake it was in not making our offices big enough.  His words were prophetic.  And while we could not have done it without our talented and dedicated staff, the priceless ingredient in the equation was and is and always will be our patients. 

In a recent survey of our patients we were humbled and gratified at how many patients were pleased with the results of the treatments we performed.  Everyone who responded referred to our staff as feeling like family, and characterized our office as comfortable and homey.  That is exactly the ambiance we set out to create all those years ago.  We love it when a plan comes together.
 
So Happy Anniversary to us all.  And thank you.  We commit to rededicating ourselves to the vision that made us what we are and we invite you to join us in the years to come for more of the great adventure.

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

MEDICAL AND SKIN SPA SPECIALS
FINE PRINT:You must mention the newsletter to receive these special prices.
May not be combined with any other offers.
Many of our summer prices have been extended through the end of October.  You must, however, mention this newsletter to receive the prices.


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 Clarisonic's 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 until the end of October for the low price of $825 (a savings of almost 15%).

Along with being very effective around the lips, 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 Halloween.

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.
