The Gift of Youth: The Best Holiday Gift

Instead of spending hours shopping for the perfect gift for the holidays, you can give one of the hottest, most desirable gifts that almost every adult would love and benefit from: a non invasive cosmetic procedure. More and more people are asking (and secretly wanting but not asking) for cosmetic treatments for the holidays.

Who’s a Great Recipient

• Someone who already “has everything”
• Women or Men 35+
• If they’ve mentioned they’ve wanted to try a non invasive procedure
• They’ve expressed concern about wrinkles, especially crow’s feet or on the forehead

A Gift that’s Not Just for the Ladies

Most women are very pleased to receive this as a gift, but believe it or not, so are men. While some men might not be willing to take the jump to get a treatment for themselves, receiving it as a gift can give him that nudge towards doing what he wanted to anyway.

Many men like getting work done for the professional advantage. A younger, healthier, more alert demeanor can give him that edge in the marketplace. There are many amazing non invasive treatments that make the perfect gift for men.

Top Procedures for Men

1. “Bro-tox” is Botox for men that can rejuvenate a tired looking eye area by banishing crow’s feet. It also can smooth out the wrinkles on the forehead and in between the eyes, which can turn what looks like a furrowed scowl into a more positive visage.
2. Laser hair removal can save lots of time shaving and waxing.
3. Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, and Radiesse to fill in those folds around the nose, the pitting from acne scars, and restore a smooth, more youthfully contoured appearance.

Top Procedures for Women

1. Thermage CPT is the hottest non surgical face lift available with dramatic results for lifting hooded eyelids. It can also be used to tighten and lift loose skin on the arms, legs, and buttocks.
2. Injections provide so many options depending on what each person needs. Botox and Dysport smooth out wrinkles by relaxing muscles, while Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane are hyaluronic acid fillers that fill in lines by natural plumping effects. Radiesse is another option that uses tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) particles to fill in lines. Depending on the location and depth of the wrinkles, Dr. Covey provides expert guidance on the best choice for what needs to be done, including facial contouring and plumping lips.
3. SmartLipo Triplex is the most advanced laser lipo available to remove fat and contour the body.

With one simple gift, you can provide so many face and body rejuvenating choices for your loved one. Simply purchase a gift certificate, package that with a brochure with a bow on top, and you’ve got a smile worthy surprise in store for them. We want to put a smile on your face too, so with every $100 gift card purchase you will receive a $20 gift card for yourself.

We experience a significant increase in treatments this time of year, so be sure to come in and get your gift certificate or schedule your procedure today.

Tips to Look Great in Photos

With the holidays coming, everyone will be taking pictures and posting them on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. You will want to look your best when you are inevitably asked for that memory capturing photo that will be seen by hundreds of people. I’ve compiled some tips for the treatments that I can do to help, plus some from the photography experts. This list will help you know how to get that great, social media worthy picture.

The wrong look can instantly frame you in an unflattering light. Here are some tips to help you look great in photos:

1. Treat Your “Tzone” Right… Forehead wrinkles shout out your age from the roof tops, so calm those lines with BOTOX or DYSPORT. These injectables temporarily “relax” the muscles so that those deep lines won’t overshadow your face. Keep in mind that the flash from cameras often bring out the shine from your “Tzone”, so you should always apply a light dusting of translucent powder.
2. Double Chin, Don’t Go There…
Due to camera illusion, the unflattering double chin can appear in photos even when there really isn’t much of one in real life. To trick the camera into slimming down your face, tilt your head down slightly and your chin out just a touch so that your cheekbones are higher and you look like you have a sharper jaw line. If the double chin is a real issue that you’d like to fix, SMARTLIPO TRIPLEX, THERMAGE CPT and EXILIS are some of the treatments we offer that can address this concern.
3. Perfect that Pout… Surveys say that people perceive thin lips as an indication of age, so you’ll want to have that plush pout ready. JUVEDERM and RESTYLANE are hyaluronic fillers that increase lip volume. These fillers can be precisely injected to create natural, sexy and supple lips you’ll want to show off. And don’t forget to choose the right lipstick color to show off your perfect pout. Shades of pink, peach, and rose complement most skin tones. Blue undertones will help your teeth look more white.
4. Follow the Three “P’s”… Position, Posture and Pose are easy to manage steps to making your picture turn out right.
   • Position yourself in the middle of a group photo rather on the end because the images near the edge of the frame will tend to look bigger.
   • Good posture not only makes you look taller, it can also make you look thinner and your stomach flatter. This is an easy one to do that takes less than five seconds: Stand up straight, roll your shoulders back, lift up your chest and lengthen your neck.
   • Pose by resting your weight on one leg, which has a slimming effect. This natural resting pose can be accompanied by a hand on the hip with shoulder and elbow pointed back. This prevents the “fat arm” that often happens when it’s pressed against the body. Allow your hands to fall, cupping naturally rather than pressing flat against your body, which can make them look larger than normal.

Take photos confidently with these tips for looking great, and let me help you to get “picture perfect ready” for the holidays with one or more of the exciting treatments we offer at www.DrCovey.com.

Sincerely,

Dr. Covey

NOSE RESHAPING…with INJECTABLES

NON SURGICAL NOSE RESHAPING

Injectable Fillers are an alternative to surgery for restoring youthfulness to a nose that has changed with aging. Each year over half a million people choose to have their noses reshaped for various reasons. Rhinoplasty surgery used to be the only option for creating the nose patients dreamed of. Now, Injectable Fillers have proven safe and effective in correcting unsightly bulges, humps, bumps, droopy nasal tips, bridge irregularities and more.
Since the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, the size and shape can either enhance or distort the appearance. The ultimate goal of nose reshaping is to create a nose that looks natural and also blends harmoniously with the other facial features. It can boost self confidence and enhance self esteem. Nose Reshaping, done well, will not change the way you look…but it will restore youthfulness by highlighting your own facial features.

While surgery can achieve more significant and pronounced results, today’s advanced Injectables can achieve remarkable results that patients, who want to avoid surgery, love!  The past decade has brought advanced, highly sophisticated Injectable Fillers to the market, and these can achieve wonderful, long lasting results.

OPTIONS for INJECTABLE NOSE RESHAPING

Hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm get results that can last for years. The fillers are injected into targeted areas of the nose, to correct those unwelcome imperfections and reshape the contours. Nasolabial Folds are also injected to restore volume to this area of the face and to complement the reshaped nose. The results can be seen instantly.

THE AGING CHIN and JAW

The shape of the chin and jaw also changes with age and should not be missed when restoring facial balance. Augmenting the chin and jawline can easily be done in tandem while redefining the cheeks with Voluma. Instant results can be had without surgery, again, using Injectable fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm and Perlane to restore volume and shape. Augmenting the chin can make it look stronger and diminish shadows that can linger around the corners of the mouth.

BOTOX BROWLIFT…is a non surgical alternative to the traditional surgical BrowLift/ForeHead Lift. Botox can lift and shape the brow area, correcting mild ptosis, while also reducing forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, sad lines and bunny lines. Results offer a rejuvenated, more refreshed appearance without surgery, without downtime or the side effects associated with surgery. Learn more about Botox on my website: www.Dr.Covey.com.

SKINCARE, PEELS, LASER OPTIONS…to be ready for graduations, family reunions, career events and… just because you want to look great! Talk to us about Microdermabrasion for instant results that achieve fresh, healthy glowing skin. Ask us to help you tailor your own Spring Program.

BODY SCULPTING with SmartLipo TriPlex to be Beach Body Ready and Cellulaze to get rid of unsightly Cellulite and EXILIS or Thermage for skin tightening. We are your bodyshaping experts with these and many other options to help you be, feel and look your very best now.

Well, this blog has covered options for restoring facial youthfulness and balance with Injectable fillers, BrowLift using Botox, and some skin rejuvenating ideas. Body Sculpting is a top choice among every age group today for very good reasons…it’s safe and it works. These are all non surgical options… another reason they’re so popular
