South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute in San Jose, CA has launched a new campaign via social media focusing on foot health education. The campaign provides the public with simple tips and ideas to care for feet, in order to promote improved health and a better quality of life.
Dr. Polly Kokinos, Dr. Jafar Tay, Dr. John Frusha, and Dr. Kim Rappaport, the four leading vein doctors at South Bay Vascular Center, encourage walking as a way to promote foot health. Walking for thirty minutes five times a week can help encourage blood flow, explains Dr. Kokinos. This lowers the risk of varicose veins, swelling in the feet, and deep vein thrombosis.
South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute specializes in treating various forms of vein disease, a problem that can affect foot health. Walking is one of several topics the center is discussing this month. They are providing foot health tips through Twitter and Facebook.
Though they are often overlooked, good health in the feet can have a positive impact on the rest of the body.
Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them.
Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options. Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of effective, minimally invasive treatments that produce optimal results with few side-effects or downtime. These treatments include sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation, phlebectomy, and endovenous laser ablation.

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.

Strax Rejuvenation, one of the United States leading plastic surgery and wellness centers, has officially launched their charity event, Strax Gives Back.
Strax Gives Backs mission is to provide procedures for deserving patients who would not be able to obtain them otherwise due to financial difficulties. Charities interested in entering the event are asked to apply on behalf of their members and how Strax Gives Back would benefit that member.
In order to participate, individual entrants are asked to provide the breast augmentation Miami specialists with a story explaining why they feel that they deserve a free surgical procedure, focusing on why they feel it would impact their life, and what they will do for the community in order to Pay It Forward, if they receive the charitable procedure. Alternatively, charities interested in entering this charitable event are asked to encourage members to apply.
The charitable event operates in four phases, and Strax Gives Back is currently in the first phase of the event, the submission period. The centers submission box will be open for a month, from November 20, 2012 to December 15, 2012. Submissions are limited to the first 200 entrants, so applicants are encouraged to submit their stories as soon as possible.
After submissions are closed, phase two will begin. In this round, applicants will have their entries posted on the Strax Rejuvenation Facebook page, where viewers can vote for their favorite stories (fictitious names will be used to protect their privacy until a winner is revealed). Qualified submissions will be included in a special voting round between December 12, 2012 and December 31, 2012.
Phases three and four are expected to be announced later. Individuals interested in entering Strax Gives Back can track the companys updates through Twitter (username: @Straxre) and Facebook, as well by looking out for a major press release to be released by Strax Rejuvenation.
Strax Rejuvenation can provide the winner of this charitable event with the surgery of their choice, provided it is a surgery that qualifies to be performed in an office based setting, from both a patient and procedural standpoint. If the winner does not qualify for any reason, an alternate will be chosen. The center specializes in Lap Band
Despite having a credit score that might be less than attractive, everyone wanting to look their best still can, thanks to an array of financing options now offered by Soluna MD Plastic Surgery Center. The company, one of the countrys premier cosmetic surgery centers and a proud partner of the Miami HEAT, is now offering financing for virtually every credit score scenario for any of the diverse range of life-enhancing procedures they perform.
Now everyone can have the body and face theyve always dreamed of regardless of their credit score, said Soluna MDs Medical Director Dr. John Chang. But most importantly, every procedure we perform is done in a world class facility by some of the countrys top physicians.
As Medical Director, Dr. Chang has played a key role in ensuring that all procedures at Soluna MD are performed in an environment that exceeds federally mandated safety requirements. My number one goal, averred Dr. Chang, is for patients to leave our center with no question that they have been extremely well cared for by the industrys best trained professionals.
Knowing that too many people choose their cosmetic surgeon based on price rather than qualifications, training and reputation, Soluna MDs Operations Manager Linda Alamo was committed to offering financing to as many people as possible while making the application process as simple as possible. Patients can even prequalify for financing by filling out the credit application on our secured website, she said.
Not everyone is rich, but everyone can feel and look more beautiful in the hands of the nations top cosmetic surgeons, said Dr. John Chang, noting that Soluna MDs staff includes some of the countrys top trained doctors - vastly experienced and trained at the nations leading hospitals. No one should ever feel the need to choose a doctor based on price.

Project Homeless Connect aided over 300 men and women, connecting them with health and social services including haircuts, the experience was as rewarding for the service providers according to Frances Fletcher of Belleza Hair Design. This was the first opportunity that Belleza Hair Design had to participate in the annual Project Homeless Connect a program of Milwaukee Continuum of Care.
Even with 15 years of experience, Frances shared that she learned new techniques and tricks not just from the other stylists, but the patrons of the event as well. The event was fast paced and there was sometimes a line while patrons waited their turn. Even with that pace, each client that sat in my chair I worked to connect with, We laughed, we shared, we connected, shared Frances. After their haircut the men and women we served, were noticeably more confident and proud.
The goal of the event is to provide assistance to the growing population of homeless people with an opportunity to learn about programs, develop skills, and gain confidence to help them overcome their current obstacles.
Project Homeless Connect gave Frances the opportunity to serve the community through her craft and has left her wishing to give back again. Frances is looking forward to participating again next year. I will be better prepared for the pace and some of the style requests, Frances jokes. Until then, Frances will focus on her current clients at Belleza Hair Design in Mequon. Belleza is a full service salon focused on precision hair design offering Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatments as well as Organic hair color line.
