IS YOUR SKIN FIT?

As we step into 2012, many of us are making resolutions to get our bodies fit, but are we working to get our skin fit? While getting our bodies in shape may not be easy, we all know we need to eat well and work out in order to keep our bodies healthy and fit. Once our bodies are at our ideal shape, we need to keep ourselves fit with maintenance. Our skin also needs to be kept fit and healthy.

Skin fitness can be broken into three categories – preventing damage, treating damage, and maintaining skin health. To prevent your skin from looking unfit or unhealthy, we all need to be using sun block each day. We also can prevent wrinkles using Botox and lasers. Once we are at the point where we can see the signs of sun damage, including brown spots, redness and wrinkles, we need to start treating our skin to get skin fit. These treatments should be tailored to meet each patient’s skin fit goals, and are best achieved with combination therapy using Botox, lasers, and dermal fillers. Finally, as with our bodies, our skin also needs maintenance treatments to keep our skin healthy.

We too wish there was a one time treatment that would fix all of our skin care issues, but as there is no miracle pill to keep our bodies fit, there is also no one-step treatment that will keep our skin fit forever. At VITAHL, we know how important it is to keep your skin healthy and we know that skin fitness can be costly. For this reason, we offer VITAHL’s SkinFit^TM Membership. For $99 per month, you get a Free Microdermabrasion or Chemical Peel, first access to new treatments offered at VITAHL, and discounts on treatments and products every day. No longer do you have to wait for monthly specials. Now you can get your skin fit while saving every day at VITAHL.

Incredible Injectables: What You Need to Know

When it comes to eliminating wrinkles, lines and deep folds, injectables can offer great results. We understand that the choices can be confusing and that is why our skilled injectors at VITAHL will walk you through the right product for your skin type and facial structure in order to implement the improvement you want. We want you to be pleased with the results and to feel like together we’ve achieved your best possible YOU!

When starting, or continuing a regiment of injectables, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Set a schedule and stick to it. The best results are based on sticking to a schedule. Be consistent with injectables and wait until the results are wearing off before injecting again. That’s the best way to achieve natural looking results.

• Be conservative when starting an injectable program. You’ve probably seen the Sculptra television commercial talking about how you didn’t age overnight, and you shouldn’t anti-age overnight. We agree that the best approach is to start conservatively and build on the results over time.

• Temporary fillers are best. We don’t offer permanent fillers because we believe temporary fillers look more natural. That doesn’t mean you won’t get long lasting results with temporary fillers, you will! But permanent fillers can create permanent problems.


Injectables are a great solution for fighting the signs of aging, but sometimes a comprehensive approaching including a facelift is the best solution. Dr. Martin, our board certified plastic surgeon, can discuss surgical options for you. Both injectables and surgical options can be explored and discussed during your private consultation at VITAHL.

Sincerely,

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!
