NEW YEAR, NEW YOUTH!

Happy New Year! Time has flown by and after months of getting ready for parties and taking care of others, now it is YOUR time to relax, reset, and focus on you. As we move into the new year, we know that even as the economy is improving, it is still important to try to save money and find good deals. With this in mind, in 2011, VITAHL is going to work to help you save on medical aesthetic treatments every day with our SkinFit™ Membership program. Our goal is for you to have a way to save without having to compromise the quality of your medical care. These cosmetic treatments are also MEDICAL treatments, and should be taken seriously.

I recently saw a story about a 35-year-old woman in Florida who chose a good deal on liposuction without checking on the provider's expertise. Unfortunately, she experienced very negative results from the procedure. Had she done more research on the physician, she would have found that the surgeon had been disciplined by the state on more than one occasion. When I saw this, it not only saddened me, but it reinforced to me the need for good medicine when it comes to cosmetic treatments. While this is an extreme example, it reminds us why BOTOX, lasers, liposuction and other aesthetic treatments need to be performed with the same level of safety and professionalism as other medical procedures, even if they are “only cosmetic.”

While VITAHL is not the only good medical aesthetics practice in Denver, I can say that every day we strive to be the best we can be. Our mission has always been to provide excellent patient care while adhering to the highest standard of ethics. Our clinicians are some of the most knowledgeable in the industry. We regularly take advanced training courses to learn more about the treatments we offer. While we offer some of the same treatments that we offered when we opened more than 5 years ago, we are not performing these procedures exactly the same way. We have expanded our treatment protocols based on advanced trainings. For example, Laser Genesis and Pearl Laser treatment results at VITAHL are much different than what you will see from the same lasers at a different office. We want you to have a way to save money without sacrificing good medicine. We will still offer monthly specials, but rather than having many different specials to choose from each month, we will have one or two. We will also still have our last-minute Facebook and cancellation e-mail “one-day-only specials.” Additionally, we will be offering our new SkinFit Membership, where patients can get special pricing ANY day, regardless of how many units of BOTOX or number of treatments they purchase.

2011 Resolution: Basic Skin Care Tips

As we enter a New Year it reminded me of one of my favorite articles of 2010. The article was simple and to the point about the best ways to care of your skin. Follow the link below for some great tips on basic skin care to follow in 2011.

EVERYTHING EYES

It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul. In fact, the eyes are so much more. They can entice someone, they can give away our true feelings, they are a focal point of the face, and they are an area that we often see age much too soon. Some of us have always had heavy eyes, where our upper lids seem to hide any eyeshadow we might apply, even from a very young age. Some of us have puffy eyes that are genetic or that have worsened with age. And some of us have wrinkly eyes from smiling, aging or squinting in the sun.

VITAHL has been treating eyes since the day we opened. We offer BOTOX, not only as a treatment for our existing wrinkles, but also to prevent new wrinkles. We offer lasers to help stimulate collagen and tighten the skin. And, we offer Latisse to grow your lashes longer, thicker and darker. We see great results from these treatments, but we want to be able to do more. With the addition of board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason Martin, to the VITAHL family, we now offer a cutting-edge treatment, FusionBleph™.

FusionBleph™ treats wrinkles, heavy eye lids, and puffiness in one, office-based treatment. FusionBleph™ is a treatment pioneered by Dr. Martin in which traditional upper and lower eye lifts are combined with laser resurfacing of the skin around the eye. This treatment is done in the office and with about a week of downtime, you can take years off your face. To find out if you are a candidate for FusionBleph, schedule your consultation with Dr. Martin by calling 303.388.7380.

GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING ALL YEAR LONG

Gift giving during the holidays is always stressful as you try to find presents for family and friends that are both thoughtful and useful. Instead of giving traditional gifts such as clothes, goodies or electronics, why not give the gift of youth, something everyone could use? Think outside the proverbial box this year and give family, friends or yourself a stress-free start to 2011 by choosing any of the numerous treatments available at VITAHL. You can look younger and more refreshed with one or more of the many fabulous options that are reasonably priced and require little or no down time - perfect for a chaotic holiday schedule. From body contouring to anti-aging to skin improvement, VITAHL has so many gifts to choose from.

VASERshape, a non-surgical alternative treatment to liposuction, helps you lose inches and appear tight and toned in that sexy form-fitting party dress. For a more youthful and healthy appearance, even after several late nights of partying with friends, Titan or Laser Genesis are treatments to consider. Titan tightens skin almost anywhere on your face and body and helps stimulate new collagen growth, and Laser Genesis is a favorite among the Hollywood A-listers in preparation for a big event.

If you know someone worried about wrinkles, sun damage or overall skin texture, we recommend BOTOX or Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing. Advanced BOTOX injections soften deep frown lines, give a subtle brow lift, create a pouty lip and more, while Pearl treats the top layer of the skin with a laser to improve sun damage, texture and wrinkles, while the deeper layers of the skin are heated to stimulate collagen growth. For an overall smooth-skin look and feel, give the gift of Microderm and ultrasound suffusion for an incredible exfoliation experience. All of these treatments take years off your face and will help anyone look fresh and rested for the upcoming holiday season and the year to come.

Best of all, some of the mentioned treatments do not require any downtime, so you’re ready for the social calendar at a moment’s notice. Consider VITAHL your one-stop shop for beauty and revitalization. You can gift one treatment or you can package a few together for the ultimate makeover for someone special in your life – a family member, close friend, or even yourself! We have gift certificates available or call to schedule a day of youth for a loved one at 303.388.7380.

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!
