The Season of Giving - Home Tour

As my practice continues to grow, I am asked to support many different charities and functions. I am happy to do this and it seems the functions continue to become more diverse and yet reflect many of the passions that I have. This year I have sponsored several youth sporting events and teams, including Eli Pinney Elementary, St. Charles Baseball and Soccer, the Dublin Charity Cup, Dublin Coffman Volleyball and the Nike Cup Soccer Tournament. As I am a frequent listener to NPR on WCBE, I sponsored a donor challenge on two afternoons, first to my fellow medical professionals and another one for my patients and friends. I have suported the American Cancer Society and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. I support Scholarship Opportunities for Success which aids education for women of low income. Over the holidays, we are opening our home for the Dublin Women's Club Christmas tour of homes. Our family home will be on tour on Sunday, December 3, from 12N to 5PM. Our home gives an exciting twist to the tour, as it is a Frank Lloyd Wright style home and sits on two acres. Tickets for the event will be sold at the spa and throughout Dublin. The Dublin Women's Club supports education for local students and the Ronald McDonald House. This is the 25th year of the tour. Finally, the Central Ohio Diabetes Association is holding a Deck the Hall Tour of homes in Upper Arlington. This event is dear to my heart, as I lost a beloved brother-in-law to diabetes several years ago. I am sponsoring a scholarship through this organization. This event is held on November 30.

HOLIDAY RESTYLANE SPECIAL and about ZENO MD

Once a year, I have a special on Restylane. The representative from Restylane comes for the day, we have treats, and I offer $75 off a treatment. So, all of you newsletter recipients who are wondering when these two days are. . . .they are November 7 in the Short North and November 8 in Dublin. These appointments tend to fill up fast, so call to make your appointment! I try to time this special for you to look your best for the Holidays. Josh DeBlasio, of Medicis Aesthetics, will join us that day.

The fall special laser has had outstanding response. Patients have had great success and if you are considering wearing an off the shoulder dress but are embarassed about your decollete or there are sunspots you dearly want to be rid of, there is still time!

Finally, Zeno MD is a product I've looked at for a awhile. If you are excited about quickly getting rid of those occassional breakouts, this product is for you! The Zeno MD comes with 150 treatments per tip and will cost $210. The tips need to be replaced after this. Retail stores that sell My Zeno can only deliver 60 treatments per tip!

HAIR REMOVAL WITH PRO WAVE 770

So, maybe you are wondering what this amazing new hair removal laser feels like. The idea of light, heat, and flashing lights might be keeping you away from permanent hair removal. Well with a free 30 minutes on my hands, I decided to treat my own legs today. I fired up the Pro Wave and wondered if I'd make it through treating my own legs. I BARELY felt the heat from the light and was finished before my next appointment arrived. I look forward the day I can retire my razor. The best news is that this service is available in the Short North and in Dublin. So set aside thirty minutes, call the office, 799-5100, and schedule an appointment! Join me in the quest for maintenance free skin!

Fall 2006 Intense Pulsed Light Special

As a way to welcome this remarkable Cutera Solera Opus light source, I've decided to have a fall special. This is your chance to erase the damage that sun and time has done to your face or your chest. Buy a package of 5 IPL treatments to remove skin redness, brown spots and sun damage. The special promotion is $1350 (a $150 savings) through October 15.

If you buy the package, and you are interested in a skin care line during the repair process, the Kinerase Pro+Therapy line is for you. This skin care package is available for a 10% discount when you buy the Intense Pulsed Light package. The Pro+Therapy line is advantageous for use over short periods of time, when repair is taking place.

Send me a quick email or call the office, 799-5100,if you have questions.

New Light Source for the Short North and New Kinerase Line

There are several exciting additions to Timeless Skin Solutions that I'd like to share with you. First of all, on Monday, August 7, I'll be the proud new owner of the Cutera Solera Opus. What does this mean? I'll be able to offer hair removal, pigmented lesion (sunspots) removal, skin rejuvenation, acne treatment and facial vein removal, at both the Short North and Dublin locations. Hair removal in the Short North will be limited to skin without a tan and non-African Americans. Treatment for the darker skin types continues to be available in Dublin.

Derma Rx has had to discontinue the popular 3A product that includes hydroquinone with kojic acid. I have spent time looking into a replacement product and am very happy to announce that I will be one of the first physicians in the US to carry Kinerase's new Pro + Therapy line. Kinerase will offer medical grade products. This line will include products to improve skin roughness, fine lines, mottled pigmentation and includes a hydroquinone product. This is an excellent addition to skin care for post microderm and skin care procedures. I will have a fall special that includes a series of 5 intense pulse light treatments and the Kinerase skin care. With a microdermabrasion during the series, skin will be left with a clearer tone and more even coloring.

I will continue to have prescription hydroquinone (product 3) through Derma Rx without any additional boosting agents, for those whose hyperpigmentation is more mild.

WELCOME!

This is where I'll provide ongoing news about skin care, as well as changes in my practice. Please also feel free to send me your comments and suggestions. My hope is for this site to be informative and interactive.
