Sexy, Sultry Skin for Valentines Day


 
The middle of winter is here, and most of us are feeling it in our skin. With Valentine’s Day approaching, many of us are thinking of how to revitalize our dull, dry skin and feel sexy for our dates. Dry skin is definitely one of the curses of winter. Especially in Colorado, it's more important than ever to make sure you are taking the right steps in treating your skin, and not letting the dry climate get the best of you. Here's a glamour game plan from the ladies of VITAHL to get your skin prepped and glowing.


Do you have dry, flaky, dull skin? Exfoliate and reveal brighter new skin with Apeele, a revolutionary peel that treats dull skin, sun spots and fine lines. Want to change your skin and get a healthy beautiful glow with no down time? Laser Genesis is the treatment for you. This laser facial can be done on its own or it is the perfect addition to dermaplaning. Want more dramatic results? Try our Pearl Laser treatment. This treatment is truly skin rejuvenation at its finest. Pearl resurfaces the skin to treat skin texture, wrinkles, sun damage, and stimulates new collagen growth. And If you want the perfect pout, try Juvederm to enhance and make the lips fuller and more kissable.


Not sure what’s right for you? No problem! We offer complimentary consultations to discuss which treatments will help you get the results you desire!

Courtney Cox discusses Lasers in New You Magazine


I enjoyed reading Courtney Cox discuss her love of Lasers in a recent New You Article. She also recently discussed doing Fraxel for her Hands, Fraxel is our Pearl Laser equivalent. As a National Trainer and Speaker on Laser technology I believe you all know where I stand on Lasers, they are one of the most effective ways to repair the damage we expose our skin to. It is always nice to hear a Celebrity get honest about their regime and aesthetics reality, after all we all want and try to obtain our best and most beautiful selves and Lasers are a great way to get yourself there. You don't have to be on the Big Screen or a HDTV star to have great skin like one.

Happy New Year

2012 has arrived, and the first things we think about are our New Year's resolutions. We all make mistakes and have regrets, but no longer do you have to say "what’s done is done." With a new year comes a new YOU, and with the latest technological advances, VITAHL's highly experienced and knowledgeable staff can help you rewind time and erase those unfortunate decisions.

Are you regretting those delicious holiday snacks? You can get a jump-start trimming those excess inches you put on during the holidays with our favorite non-surgical fat blaster, VASER Shape. Why hit the gym for numerous hours a week, when you can see up to half an inch lost in most areas after your first one or two treatments?

Are you tired of looking at that tattoo you thought was a good idea after a few too many cocktails or pressure from your friends (you know what I am talking about, we've all been there)? You can say hasta la vista to your unwanted tattoo mistake, and start fresh, with no regrets, using the latest and most advanced tattoo removal technology on the market, the RevLite SI. You will start to see results within weeks after your first treatment.

Is the cold and snowy weather making you dream of beaches, but you look in the mirror and realize the sun has left your skin lacking that radiant glow you once had? Remember those days when lathering baby oil all over your body to achieve that beautiful sun tanned skin seemed like such a great idea, but now its left you looking dull and leathery? No problem! We have the answer for you – IPL Photo Facial, Ovivo Sol, and Pearl can help erase sun damage, age spots and freckles with minimal downtime.

Not sure where to start? Come in for a free consultation so you can take advantage of the amazing specials we are offering in January, and make 2012 the year to erase your regrets!

Warm Regards,

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.

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.

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!

VITAHL - Not Your Average Doctors Office

I recently read an interesting article in W magazine titled, “Face Off” and it got me thinking about VITAHL and our mission. When I created VITAHL, I wanted it to be known first and foremost as a medical office owned and operated by a practicing physician who offered results- driven clinical aesthetic treatments. Today, that philosophy is more important than ever. Shortly after opening, the medical-aesthetics market exploded, fueled by business entrepreneurs opening non-physician-owned “medi-spas.” The majority of these facilities are owned and operated by entrepreneurs, not physicians, and they comply with the legal definition of medical spa by contracting with a physician who rarely, if ever, steps through the front door. These facilities often are known to produce mediocre and even negative results because they are operated as a retail-based revenue model instead of being a bona fide medical practice.


Just know that I am totally immersed in VITAHL. I feel that we are only as good as my involvement in the office. You deserve the opinion of a trained physician when it comes to your skin treatment options and regiment. Unlike most facilities, our office and staff is set up like a medical office, with licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and aestheticians, all of whom undergo extensive additional training administered by me. I am also committed to learning about all new procedures and products brought into our facility, and I require the same of my staff.


I want us to not only have the best technology, but to be the best at doing the treatments. For example, when we brought on Pearl Fractional, it was not enough to be trained by the company. I wanted to train with the doctors who did the research that brought the machine to market. Now, as we introduce VASERshape, our new non-surgical fat removal machine, we not only are the only office in Colorado with this technology, but we are the only office in the country who will be trained by the makers of the machine in Italy so we can learn from the best. I want the level of professionalism, competency and quality of VITAHL to outshine the bad experiences that some of you may have experienced at a “medi-spa.”

When it comes to products we offer here at VITAHL, rest assured that at VITAHL we won’t recommend products that you don’t need. I personally test the entire product inventory we offer to ensure that they produce the results they claim and only those that do end up on our shelves. In addition, I constantly research and test new products. When a new product surfaces that provides superior results I am not afraid to replace an existing product or line with one that produces better results. We are a result driven medical practice and so are all of our products.

One refreshing way we different from the cold and clinical offices described in the W article is our warm and enticing atmosphere. At VITAHL we have consciously created a warm, inviting and relaxing environment at our offices. I feel there is no need to produce or expose our patients to a cold and sterile environment in order for their treatment to feel safe and effective.

Thank you for your contined support of Vitahl.
