PREPARE FOR A WRINKLE-FREE HOLIDAY SEASON

The holidays are here, believe it or not, and whether it’s the office party, a neighborhood or family gathering, or the annual holiday bash, you want to partake in the fun, while looking and feeling your best and with so many soirees to attend, your skin can be very telling of your holiday habits. This time of year typically increases stress levels, and coupled with little or no sleep, skin flaws, like wrinkles, are much more apparent. And because the cold, dry Colorado air robs skin of its natural moisture and makes it parched, fine lines become more noticeable.



So how can you keep your skin glowing and your wrinkles from showing? There are several solutions to keep common wrinkles like crow’s feet, smile lines and skin laxity at bay. Regular morning and nighttime cleaning and moisturizing with medical grade skin care offer one option, so you need to be committed every day. For more specific issues, you might want to explore plastic surgery. Although plastic surgery used to require weeks of down time, procedures like office-based Vaser Lipo now offered by VITAHL, are less invasive so you can still be ready for the holidays. VITAHL also has several quick-fix treatments for a wrinkle-free social season. Click here for more information on Vaser Lipo.



Whether it’s BOTOX®, a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process; Laser Genesis, which leaves your skin glowing and refreshed; Dermal Fillers, that plump, restore volume and reshape; or Pearl Resurfacing, to treat deep-layer wrinkles, you can look fresh, fierce and fabulous with little to no recovery time and a huge impact. Click on the treatment names listed above to read more information on each.



So call VITAHL at 303.388.7380 or visit our office in Cherry Creek to discuss or schedule any of our fabulous treatments and start out your holiday season and 2011 looking years younger and feeling confident and ready for anything!

HOW TIME DOES FLY!

I cannot believe that the holiday season is fast approaching! It feels like only a few weeks ago, it was June first. We were all looking forward to the heat of the summer sun, and we were planning our summer vacations. Now, the leaves are changing, and Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. The next thing we know, we will be celebrating the New Year. As we look towards Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about how much there is to be thankful for in 2010.



It has been a great year for VITAHL. As many of you know, we celebrated five years in business this past September, and we also welcomed Dr. Jason Martin, a renowned plastic surgeon, to the practice. With the addition of Dr. Martin to the VITAHL family, we now offer both office-based Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo Body Contouring, which have been met with great enthusiasm. In his short time at VITAHL, Dr. Martin is already in high demand for office-based liposuction and Blepharoplaties (upper and lower eyelid surgery), as well as full face and body cosmetic surgery. We are so happy to have him on board, and I truly enjoy having another doctor in the office who broadens the treatments we offer at VITAHL. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate VITAHL’S fifth anniversary and to welcome Dr. Martin to the VITAHL family. It was a great party! Click here for some photos.



This year has also brought to VITAHL one of our strongest teams of employees – some have been with us for a year or more, and we have added a few new staff members that we have been so happy to welcome to the VITAHL family. We are a cohesive unit, and I want you all to be able to get to know this staff. We will be introducing them to you, one by one, in the New Year.


Thank you to all our loyal patients for helping to make 2010 a year to remember!
