Now is the time to prep your skin for Fall procedures!

Posted in Main at 10:58 am by Director

Want the best results from your procedures you’re thinking about having in the Fall?  Start now by making an important investment in your skin with wonderful, results oriented medical grade products.  Starting a skincare regimen prior to a cosmetic facial treatment series (ie: Fraxel) will augment your final outcome.  Skin that is properly hydrated and exfoliated will respond better to laser procedures.

Don’t forget!    All products are 25% off til the end of August!!

P.S. Those of you who received your complimentary $200 gift cards have until September 30th to redeem them. 

 

Lavonne :)

 

Back From Vacation

Posted in Oscars Blog at 5:50 am by Oscar

What’s a cat to do?  I’ve been really busy — patrolling, watching out for my person, the doctor, and the ever present job of finding sunbeams to sleep in.

Yesterday geese landed on our pond and needed monitoring.

Then, I remembered my loyal readers and vowed to write more.  Got to thinking as I watched birds flocking — wait a minute … they’re flocking!  That can mean only one thing — sorry about this — but fall is just weeks away.

Look on the bright side — fall is just darn gorgeous with cooler weather, nifty clothing to keep the chill off (I’m just sayin’ ’cause I wear a coat year ’round) and promise of THE HOLIDAYS.

BTW, did you like how you looked this summer? 

As I see it, you have the perfect opportunity right now (well, in September … or now if you’ve “had it” already) to change what you don’t like into a radiant new you — in time for next summer.

Be svelte like me. :)

Think of it as New Year’s Resolutions come early.  And you’ll have plenty of time to take care of all of your “issues”.

Then, come next summer you’ll have a rockin’ new bod that’ll turn heads.

Okay — gotta go help my person get ready for work — says he’s doing another SmartLipo — now so popular his schedule’s really full.  Glad he likes lasering and sucking fat – making people nice ‘n trim again.

In fact, come to think of it — if you want in on this you’d better get on his schedule soon.

The Holidays are coming … if you know what I mean.

Gotta look your best. :)

Later,

Oscar

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Posted in Main at 5:17 am by Doctor

Okay — stole the headline from Shakespeare but it’s apropos of today’s blog topic.

Lately, I’ve been meeting a lot of clients who’ve come in distressed by their appearance in summer clothing … dreaming of what they wanted — really — to look like.

It haunts their dreams.

One woman told me she wears (long) shorts only around the house and hasn’t gone “out and about” in shorts since she was a teen. Why? Leg veins is why.
Now, I see a lot of women in shorts who have significant leg veins who may care about them, but wear shorts anyway. This woman’s veins are the tiny starbursts best seen “up close”. What’s the difference?

They bother her just enough … not to wear shorts … they make her self conscious.

Everybody has different tolerance levels about leg veins, facial or bikini hair, fat bulges, or just signs of aging far beyond their chronologic years.

I’ve often said cosmetic medicine, products, and procedures are really not about the wrinkle, hair, spots, fat — you name it — but about self confidence and self esteem.

Where is your confidence level? Is something holding you back?

This woman with the starburst veins is drop-dead beautiful with great legs … but will not wear shorts. It means something to her and believe me, we will not discount her or her feelings about her legs!

If it’s important to her … it’s important to me … and my staff. We will take care of it — pronto … so she can wear shorts in full confidence and without concern.

Summer is in mid-swing and people cannot help but notice things about their bodies they wish were different.

Change is but a decision away … a decision to do something about it.

You can take care of a lot right now — most of what we do to solve the most vexing problems can be done in summer — even worked around your busy schedules.

Discomfort and downtime? Minimal to non-existent! How cool is that! And results are exactly what people want and expect from modern technology available today.

And if your summer is too busy … then September is the perfect month to jump on change that will reset the bar for your self confidence and self esteem.

And you’ll even have time to have your natural looking changes completed in time for the busy Holiday season.

Think of it as New Year’s resolutions come early.

Wouldn’t it be nice in January to smile and say, “I’ve taken care of it already.”

So, go ahead and dream — but think long and hard about acting on your dreams too.

It’s within your reach … and it’s all good. :)

National Celebrations

Posted in Main at 4:24 am by Doctor

As many of you know, I’m Canadian … and this week, Canada Day was celebrated.  Furthermore, Friday is the “4th of July” — Independence Day — a day of great significance for Americans.

A Federal Holiday (since 1941), it commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 — the independence being from the rule of Great Britain.

Today, though some vestiges of the historical significance of the event persist with civic ceremonies Americans seem to concentrate on mini-vacations, picnics, carnivals, barbecues, baseball games, and other family oriented get-togethers.  The patriotic overtones are present — especially in the minds of veterans and older folks … but for most, it is now a time to get away and be refreshed.

That’s cool too.  Anything drawing families together is a good thing.

It’s also the beginning of the countdown of summer, with but weeks to go before fall.  A long time for kids … a blink of an eye for us adults who seem to bite time off in bigger chunks.

This is a good opportunity to wish all of our readers a safe and happy summer.

I’d also like to ask our readers to respond to this blog by submitting comments … I’d like to know what you’re thinking, what are your needs and wants, what you fear — keeps you up at night sorta thing. 

In this way, I can formulate solutions far more targeted to what you want … and need.  Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Anyway, Oscar and I are gonna chill here at home for the weekend.  He’s thinking long and hard on his next blog.

Right now, Oscar’s amazed I underwent another session of SmartLipo last week — and never broke stride seeing my regular schedule of clients.  Who knows … he may write about that. :)

Our summer specials are in full swing: Complimentary Fraxel with any area of SmartLipo, the first 10 signing up in July and August getting an extra bonus of all-the-Botox-you-want-in-one-day,

Then there’s the product 25% OFF sale — stuff is literally flying off the shelf!

Summer’s a great time to have cosmetic procedures ’cause there’s such little downtime and easily can be worked around family events.

So come on in!

And have a safe 4th! :)

Testimonials


  • "My daughter sees Kristie for microdermabrasion treatments for stubborn blackheads. We had tried many prescription items and Proactiv®. We saw little results. We scheduled a consultation to see what other treatments might help the process of clearing up those stubborn blackheads. Kristie recommended microdermabrasion and after the first 2 treatments a great improvement was noticed and improvement continues with each treatment. Kristie's friendly personality put my daughter right at ease."

  • "I had Botox at another doctor's office and it did not take. I came here to Dr. Fairfield's office and was so pleased with the results. I am fifty two years old and not many people believe it. I feel much happier when I look into the mirror these days. I also drive over fifty miles to get here one way, but it is worth it!"

  • "I am very pleased with the results of Botox and Restylane! I had 3 deep grooves in between my eyes from squinting (a hereditary thing from my father) and it bothered me! My dad's and aunt's grooves are so big they can hold a dime in the slots. Before my lines got like that, I came to see Dr. Fairfield. He did Restylane and I am so happy with the results! Don't hesitate if it bothers you! The staff and Dr. Fairfield are wonderful and they are here for you! Thanks!"

  • "I've had three Fraxel treatments so far and already see tremendous improvement. The overall texture of my skin is smooth and clear of red spots. The deep crevices from nose down to chin is much less pronounced and best of all I can curl my eyelashes again. So, my brows were lifted too!

    Amy, Sherley and Kristie were competent and caring as usual.

    So with one more treatment to go I believe I can stave off having a thread lift for five or more years."
