John Mayer is a known ladies man and to most women swoon when his voice hits the the air. But Botox , VITAHL's "Liquid Gold", was the cure that saved is vocal chords from granuloma (severe tissue inflammation on his vocal chords). In the last few years we hear more and more the miracle healing Botox gives people for a wide variety of ailments and the relief it brings; overactive bladder, TMJ, Migraines, Spasms, and much more. Now if only the world would coin VITAHL's favorite phrase; Botox is Liquid Gold.

A Great Article on Botox for your Lips

 



I read this article recently on the effects of Botox on the lips and was glad to see one of VITAHL's favorite treatments in the spotlight. The writer talks about her experience with Botox for the treatment of vertical lines, aka "smokers lines", but in addition the results can be great for a plumping effect as well. By allowing  Botox to effect the muscles around the lips, the curl the lip typically does while smiling changes often resulting in a fuller lip by curling up rather than in. Ahhh Botox, it truly is Liquid Gold!

NEW YEAR, NEW YOUTH

 

2013 is a new beginning for a new you. Say goodbye to looking in the mirror and your appearance not reflecting how amazing you truly feel. When you look great, you feel great, and vice versa. Picture the way you hold your head a bit higher after getting a flattering new hairstyle; remember the confidence in your step after losing those last five pounds. This New Year, it's time to take control of the clock and start focusing on you. After all, when you're happy with you, it shows.

Talk to our staff about Botox or Pearl if you are ready to get rid of those fine lines and wrinkles that can age the face. Or, consider IPL and Ovivo Sol if you want a different approach, but still want to treat the sun damage acquired from years of being a sun bathing beauty without lathering on your SPF. When it comes to our appearance, there is no better time to start than now. At VITAHL we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve and providing the latest developments in aesthetic treatments. Our extremely educated staff is here to help you make adjustments to those trouble spots and customize a skin care regime to help you meet your aesthetic goals.

It's a brand new year. The time has come to make those New Year resolutions so make a pledge to adopt essential skincare habits to keep you looking glamorous throughout 2013.

Dr Humes Says

Last month, I had the opportunity to reach out to everyone and discuss breast cancer, which affects millions of women. Recently, the mother of a close friend was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. Sadly, she lost her battle with the disease. As i watched her go through this with her family, I realized that many people are not familiar with Ovarian Cancer. I would like to use this time to inform everyone about this devastating cancer that affects so many women.

 

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, you will have dozens of questions racing through your mind. You will want to learn as much as you can about the support and treatments that are available. it's time to increase the public's understanding about the disease, including it's prevalence, prevention, approaches to screening, treatment options, and resources that offer updated Ovarian Cancer information throughout the year. Unfortunately, symptoms of the disease often mirror those of other relatively minor conditions such as digestive disorders. This can lead to delayed detection, which allows the cancer to spread into other tissues and organs. early detection is critical in fighting the disease and prolonging women's lives. The precise cause of Ovarian Cancer is unknown, but several risk and contributing factors (including both reproductive and genetic factors) have been identified. Some factors that may increase your risk of Ovarian Cancer include, but are not limited to, a family history of Ovarian Cancer, difficulty in conceiving, a previous cancer diagnosis or if you have endometriosis.

 

In honor of Barb Johnson, VITAHL invites you to 'Donate Your Wrinkles for a Cure' on Thursday, November 8th. VITAHL will be offering Botox for $11 per unit and $100 off Juvederm, which 10% of proceeds will be donated. Also, for the entire month of November, we invite you to participate in "Likes for Lives'. For every new 'Like' we receive on our VITAHL Facebook page, we will donate $1 to Ovarian Cancer research, education and awareness.

 

In loving memory of Barb Johnson

My Best Friend, The Doctor - By Leigh Sullivan

My Best Friend       

Females - young, or old - are fickle. We tell each other what we want to hear: “Does my butt look too big in these jeans?” “Do you like my haircut?” The list goes on and on. Some friends just say what we want to hear because it’s easier. My best friend, however, does NOT.

She is brutally honest, and for that I love her even more! My best friend is a “real life doctor.” She is beautiful, smart, and dead-ass honest. I’d like to think I am reasonably attractive (by American standards), I have a nice-ish complexion, and am not wrinkly, but the second I ask my bestie what she’d do to me if given the chance, she spews out a laundry list so extensive that I always feel like burying my head in the sand like an ostrich!

Her diagnosis? “Your complexion is spotty and you need the Ovivo Sol. You have ‘bunnies’ (wrinkles) in your forehead and you need Botox. You could use some Juvederm in your laugh lines and a touch of Sculptra in your cheeks to give your cheek bones that lift you had in high school!” 

Ok, WHOA — All meet my bestie, Dr. Tahl Humes of Vitahl Medical Aesthetics. I’m 39 years old, about to be 40 and after a good hard look—I know she’s right! BITCH!!

I have had two babies, I’m of Irish/Italian/German descent, so the reds and the browns are predominate. I have lived a life in the Colorado sun, and like most, I have sun damage, so Dr. Humes informed me that I have “Melasma,” a tan or dark skin discoloration usually found during pregnancy. Although it can affect anyone, melasma is particularly common in women, especially pregnant women and those who are taking oral or patch contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications.

I grew up in a family that prided themselves on their looks (not just their faces, people) but how their bodies stacked up next to their peers. And while like I said, I’d like to think that I am average in my looks, I’d also like to point out that I have a theory. Males tend to “appreciate with age” and women (in general) “de-appreciate with age.” So I’m going to do whatever I can to maintain what God gave me, for as long as I can, and I’ll do it with the help of my way too honest best-friend, who just happens to be an MD.

I have now subjected myself to three rounds of Ovivo-Sol (laser treatment that takes care of the browns and the reds) received Botox on my forehead, “bunnies” and the squinty lines around my eyes. I have shot my laugh lines with Juvederm, and gotten my cheek bones shot twice with Sculptra so I can maintain those cheekbones the good lord gave me.

Am I perfect? Oh HELL no! That will never happen. But God bless my bestie for being that brutally honest woman who ALWAYS tells me when my hair color looks like shit, or my dress is actually ugly. Because in my humble opinion, we actually need three things in life: 1. A perfect pair of high-heels 2. A perfect fitting bra and 3. The most brutally honest best friend in the whole world!


Love you doc! – Mean it!  XOXO

Bogus Botox: Some deals really are too good to be true.

They say “you get what you pay for,” and I think at some time in our lives we have all seen this to be true. Back in 2005, patients were asking questions before they received Botox injections, because they were aware of patients such as the Florida couple who were hospitalized after receiving fake Botox. In recent years, we are hearing fewer of these stories, and patients seem less concerned about who is injecting them and what is being injected.  However, even recently there have been several incidents of fake Botox injections that have put victims in the hospital.  One woman died after receiving a supposed Botox injection that was, in reality, cooking oil.  Not only is “Bogus Botox” still out there, in fact, there has been a rise in internet sales out of China of counterfeit Botox.  Additionally, there is fake Juvederm and Restylane on the market.

I see ‘daily deals’ such as Groupon, that offer Botox for less than I can purchase it from Allergan. When I see 20 units for $99 (less than $5 per unit), and about half of that goes to Groupon, I have to wonder how a business can survive by selling Botox for $2.50 a unit? I am not knocking daily deals.  I like deals and I like working with these companies. We have participated in daily deals with Groupon and Living Social. We’ve gained a lot of amazing new patients and have had a really great experience; however, in the process we’ve realized the importance of consumer awareness.  If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.  Because Botox is so popular, many people erroneously think that it is so simple. However, it is a medical procedure and therefore it deserves the respect and appropriate awareness by its consumers. Allergan is the sole distributer of real Botox, and because Botox is a medication that is regulated by the FDA, it cannot be discounted. If physicians can’t buy Botox for as low as $5.00 per unit, then how can an office sell it for less without losing money? Some offices are getting around this by purchasing their “Botox” from other companies, but how do they know if they are getting real or “Bogus Botox?” We know there is only one company that sells Botox, and if we do not like the price, we should look into other treatment options.

The take away here is to make sure you know what you are getting.  At VITAHL, we pride ourselves in having the most educated and qualified physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants administering our injectables, resulting in the highest level of patient care.  As one of the top 1% of Botox injectors in the country, patient safety and satisfaction are our highest priorities. Ask who is injecting, where were they trained, and is it real Botox (or Juvederm).  If you see a deal that seems too good to be true, check into it before you are injected.
