Board Certified San Diego Dermatologist Sabrina G. Fabi, MD, Gives Ultherapy

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2013

Highly esteemed San Diego dermatologist Sabrina G. Fabi, MD, recently presented a workshop on Ultherapy to physicians in Bangkok, Singapore and Seoul. The workshop is part of an Asian tour in which Dr. Fabi demonstrated Ultherapy and lectured on its indications and benefits.

Ulthera's micro-focused ultrasound technology is truly state-of-the-art. Having had the opportunity to use and research it extensively, I am so glad to be able to share my technique and protocols with physicians around the world to optimize patient results and safety, said Dr. Fabi.

Skin-tightening Ulthera is a tissue lifting treatment in which ultrasound waves are delivered not just to the skin, but deep into the underlying tissues that are commonly targeted during surgery. The sound waves gently heat the tissue, resulting in the tightening of loose skin and a lifting effect. Ultherapy also encourages the creation of new collagen, which gives the skin a more youthful appearance.

Up until now, no technology has had the indication for a 'lift' and we had to rely on surgery to provide such results. I love that I can offer my patients a non-surgical alternative, that is not invasive and has no-downtime, said Dr. Fabi, renowned dermatologist in San Diego.

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology center in San Diego, Dr. Fabi serves as the associate research director of the research department and has conducted several studies on Ultherapy over the last few years. By not only researching, but actively using Ultherapy in her practice, Dr. Fabi has been able to provide San Diego patients with aesthetically pleasing and natural results, without looking over done.

Farmers Market

Kennesaw, Georgia (PRWEB) June 12, 2013

Farmers Market Bar Soap is celebrating its first full year of being a certified organic product, having met the standards of the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). Manufactured by Beaumont Products, Inc. in Kennesaw, Georgia, Farmers Markets certification process was conducted by Oregon Tilth, a third-party, USDA-authorized certifying agency.

We believe that third-party certification is crucial in clearly communicating our message to the consumer about Farmers Market Soaps mix of natural and certified organic ingredients, said Hank Picken, CEO and founder of Beaumont Products. There are a lot of other soap companies out there making unconfirmed claims and consumers want more than words, they want proof, now more than ever.

Farmers Market is one of the few national soap brands to carry the USDAs NOP certification. In addition, Oregon Tilth is credited with helping the USDA in creating the NOP standards necessary for the certification process and was one of the first to become accredited as an organic certifier by the USDA NOP.

The USDA NOP certification has helped to increase our visibility towards consumers, especially those consumers taking a second or even a third glance at the ingredients listed on the products they take home, said Craig Goodson, marketing director for Beaumont Products. The continued growth in the numbers of consumers demanding to know what is in their products can ultimately drive what a retailer will put on their shelves. Now, retailers want more manufacturers to be able to communicate that information to the shopper. This certification communicates that message.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2012

With that in mind, internationally renowned hair loss expert Dr. Alan J. Bauman recently launched the countrys first Bauman Certified Hair Coach program to teach hair stylists and salons how to help consumers by catching hair loss early, tracking it, and understanding what they can do to fight it.

Over the past 15 years, Ive treated thousands of men and women suffering from hair loss, said Dr. Bauman, founder of Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton and a board-certified hair restoration physician.

Former Healthcare Professional Melissa Lunsford Is The Latest Certified Spray Tanning Technician From America's Leading Spray Tanning Training Center Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2013

Reputed spray tanning training center Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy continues to grow in terms of their reputation. They have announced their latest certified Airbrush Tanning Technician to emerge in the growing field of airbrush tanning. This form of sunless tanning is now preferred much more than the traditional form of sun tanning because it saves the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, being an emerging field, finding a proper training platform to become a spray tanning professional is not easy. Simone Emmons, the owner and the founder of Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy, is one of the most proficient spray tanning experts in the country. She continues to run her own Airbrush Tanning business on a daily basis. Her knowledge, experience, and caring approach have led to the exemplary success of the Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy. The academy program is different because it teaches students hands-on and in private settings. The Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy only takes on 1-2 students each class because they focus on each student individually. This is why the spray tanning program has a high success rate.

Melissa Lunsford has been a successful healthcare professional teaching CPR, First Aid, and AED courses for the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association for several years. She has also worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and a Medical Assistant for a dermatology practice. Talking about her decision to learn airbrush tanning, she says, "There are several reasons why I wanted to learn airbrush tanning and the most important one was when I was working in Dermatology, I was exposed to so many people with sun damage and Melanoma and the thought of laying out in the sun to get some color was just not an option for me anymore. I am a fair skinned person so I was always laying out or going to the tanning salon to try and achieve some color and came across airbrush tanning, which I fell in love with immediately, I could get tanner than I ever would laying out in the sun and it only took a few minutes!"

Melissa's business "Spray Tans by Melissa" is presently offering mobile spray tanning services covering the Lakewood, Long Beach, Bellflower, Cerritos, Artesia, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Norwalk, Downey, Whittier, La Habra, Santa Fe Springs, Cypress, and all other surrounding areas. "I currently run a mobile business and will come to you to tan you and/or your friends and family, but I eventually want to open my own spray tan salon that offers spray tanning for individuals, groups, parties, and for those who wish to get hair tinsels", she says, about her future plans. She has also thanked Simone for all her support saying, "She taught me everything I need to know about spray tanning from actually spray tanning technique to opening my own business and I couldn't thank her enough for that". Melissa can be contacted on her website at http://www.spraytansbymelissa.com or at (562) 964-0790.

About Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy:

Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy is located in Los Angeles, California and offers an extensive Airbrush Tanning Certification program to anyone who wishes to learn the art and business of spray tanning. Simone Emmons, the creator of the spray tanning training program has been a professional, licensed spray tanning technician and teacher and has helped numerous entrepreneurs from Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Minnesota, Arizona, South Carolina, Oregon, Florida, California and the Island of Hawaii and Trinidad start a business in Airbrush Tanning. The spray tan program is unique because it provides hands-on and private spray tanning training to individuals who want to start an Airbrush Tanning Business. According to Emmons, this spray tanning program gives individuals a leading edge in starting an Airbrush Tanning business immediately after finishing with the training. Students have the option to choose from a full day course of 10-12 hours or two half day courses of 5-6 hours a day or through live video conferencing. The academy is also launching a website soon so students can learn Airbrush Tanning Online. Many tanning training institutions only educate students on their own equipment and products they sell, however Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy does not sell any of their own products and provides training and education on all equipment and good products in the airbrush tanning industry.

Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon & Boutique Offers Tips to Keep Pets Safe and Healthy During Harsh Winter Weather

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

In order to diminish the effects of the winter weather, Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon and Boutique, Taria Avery, suggests 3 basic tips for pet parents to get started with to help keep their fur-kids healthy and happy during the winter season.

1.) Brush or Comb Your Pet 2-3 Times a Week

Keeping your pets coat clear of knots and matts is as important as maintaining monthly baths. Using a brush is fine, but if your pet has long curly hair be sure to use a comb and take it all the way down to the skin. For some double coated dogs, excess oils can build up in their skin and may cause dry patches that may eventually contribute to hot spots if pet parents do not pay attention to their pets skincare regimen. On a double-coated dog, use a brush to remove the excess undercoat and to facilitate proper air circulation to the skin.

Cats require grooming too. Many cat owners believe their cats do a good enough job keeping clean, but they too need a thorough combing to help keep their skin and coat healthy.

2.) Set Aside 15 Minutes for Essential Care

In addition to brushing or combing, essential care includes clipping nails, brushing teeth, and cleaning out pets ears. This should be done about 1-3 times a week depending on your fur-kids specific needs. During the winter season, grooming nuances tend to get put off, but to keep pesky infections at bay it is critical to maintain essential care.

3.) Maintain Exercise Habits

Dont let the blistering winter elements stop pets from getting the exercise they need. Pet parents can create in-house solutions to make sure their pets get the required exercise. For example, allowing pets to walk on treadmills is a great way to keep pets fit. But be sure to keep the treadmill on low speed, and discuss it with your Veterinarian before putting your pet on any exercising machine.

Avery understands pet grooming is just as important during the winter months as it is during the warmer seasons. Bitter cold conditions can have a harmful effect on a pets skin, coat and paw pads if not properly maintained. Unfortunately, pet parents may be tempted to skip out on winter grooming sessions assuming that allowing their pets fur to grow full is the best protection from intense winds and cold weather.

Lastly Avery says try to stick as closely to their normal grooming routine as possible. Make sure your fur-kid has access to fresh and clean water at all times, keep a space heater close by to provide additional warmth in the house if appropriate. As the cold and snow set in, continue booking your regular grooming sessions, but use these tips to protect your fur-kid and supplement your existing maintenance schedule with your dog groomer or cat groomer.

The Maercks Institute Now Provides The Best Miami Facelift Care Seamlessly In its Own Class III Certified Operating Room and Boutique Hotel Style Accomodations

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

The Maercks Institute has been years in the planning and just months ago finally took form on the edge of Miami's exciting Design District. The design had to work around renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Rian A. Maercks' practice style and needs. "I wanted to create a seamless environment with unparallelled safety and comfort. I knew that the unpredictable conditions and personel of most hospitals just wasn't the best thing for my patients, particularly my facelift patients."

Dr. Maercks' practice is a well-rounded mix of all aspects of plastic surgery care; however, he is most known for his uniquely natural appearing techniques in face and breast surgery. The majority of facelift and facial rejuvenation patients that seek out Dr. Maercks' expertise are not from Miami. Dr. Maercks' large European, South American, New York and West Coast patients fly in for the unique offerings at The Maercks Institute. "I do not like to send facelift patients home because there are a lot of unnecessary risks like falling or even bending over to pick something off the floor. These activities on the first night could potentially cause bleeding or hematoma. In my controlled facility patients are catered to-- and there just isn't this worry, blood pressure stays low because patients are relaxed and feel as if they are on vacation."

"In the unlikely event there is an urgent need, I am always close by and have full resources at my disposal twenty-four hours a day."

Dr. Maercks' morning check includes removing all bandages and checking for any residual blood collection which are easily and painlessly evacuated. Next Dr. Maercks' caring staff washes the patient's hair with luxurious aromatic treatments and the patients are free to shower in their luxury on-site accommodation and head home feeling fresh and clean.

"It can be scary to come to a city far away from home to have surgery with a physician that you have only met on the phone. My patients are instantly at ease when they come to the beautiful surround where they will spend the day and night instead of meeting me in a hospital and going to a hotel for the night."

"The response has been incredibly positive from all patients treated with my facelift and overnight stay. This is very different from my past experiences in hospitals with staff that are variable and not necessarily pleasant. This system makes it a delight to be the surgeon, the staff and the patient- true harmony!"

Dr. Maercks conducts limited private consultations at The Maercks Institute, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami FL 33137. Scheduling can be arranged by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com

Out of town patients can arrange e-consultations and schedule treatments by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com
