Do you know how many units of Botox other doctors inject?  Current recommendations of Botox are 15 units per site (forehead, between eyebrows, and crow’s feet) for most patients.  The usual price is $15/unit thus $225/site.  On January 17th we will reduce this to $13/unit.  This means most sites will be improved for only $195!  Those with special requests, deeper wrinkles, or need a touch up will be charged the extra $13/unit on this day.  That way you only pay for what you need.

 (Did You Know?   Latisse, used for eyelash lengthening and thickening is still available for only $90.) 

Filler prices have dropped too.  Restylane and Juvederm will now be $500, Juvederm Ultra Plus will be $550 and Radiesse will be $600.  On Filler Days we will continue the 10% discount.  HOWEVER, any new patient or a current patient wishing to try fillers for the first time will also receive the 10% discount on any office day.

Women who breakfast on cereal were 30% less likely to be overweight than those who skipped breakfast.  This is according to a Michigan State University study.  Whole grain cereal adds the benefits of fiber.  Tufts University found an association between whole grain consumption and the reduced tendency toward unhealthy belly fat.

 Breakfast with whole grains is also good for your heart.  Harvard found a 28% lower risk of heart failure in those with at least a daily serving of fiber.  Eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, and a variety of other breakfast foods can aid your health too.

We have all received gifts that we wish we hadn’t.  I have had my share of ties that now reside in the deepest recesses of my closet.  Bad gifts from your spouse are the ones that are the most irritating and cause the greatest emotional response.  So how do we avoid receiving such gifts?  An article in the Wall Street Journal has some suggestions.  

There are some rules to share with your spouse to minimize the possibility of having to ask forgiveness.  

            When in doubt, go down a size.

            Never give a gift that suggests your spouse is not perfect.  No unsolicited exercise equipment or self-help books.

            Appliances and cookware are only okay if asked for.

            Don’t even think about a gift that you will get more enjoyment out of than your spouse.

            Remember:  It’s not just the thought that counts-especially if you didn’t have that thought until the checkout line.

            When all else fails, at least try to create memories.

Share this with your spouse in hopes of avoiding hurt feelings.  After all, there are still 6 shopping days left!  

Happy and Blessed Holidays to you and your families.

Skin care is not only popular but effective in improving aging skin.  Our office has the latest in prescription and research developed products.  However, there are several products that advertise improving facial appearance.

 The first is an oxygen facial.  It involves a blast of high-pressure oxygen that helps to kill bacteria and injects hyaluronic acid into the skin.  The second device is an ultrasound machine that uses sound waves to “rebalance the skin”.  The last uses a mild electric current to stimulate the facial muscles.  The recommendation for this is 8-10 weekly treatments followed by maintenance treatments every 2-4 weeks.

 (Did You Know?  Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 15 is Botox Day with discounts on Botox and fillers.  Call for your appointment!) 

Whether it is the latest device or procedure, a skeptical, scientific analysis should be done to ascertain any benefits.  The general consensus is that these devices improve the look of the skin, but temporarily.  Yale dermatologist David Laffell points out that any good moisturizer also improves the appearance of the skin.  The prices range from $125-400 per treatment session.  

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

The Environmental Working Group has come out with a listing of the “Dirty Dozen”.  These are the fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues.  Their web site, www.ewg.org lists the percentage of a particular produce contaminated as well as the number of pesticides found on each.  The web site also lists the “cleanest” produce.  

(Did You Know?  Tomorrow is Botox Day with discounts on Botox and fillers.  Call 513-793-5772 to schedule.)  

The dirtiest produce is the apple.  This was followed by celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, imported nectarines, imported grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, domestic blueberries, lettuce, and kale/collard greens.  The cleanest was onions.
