SmartLipo Continues to Impress
We have been so excited to have SmartLipo in the office this spring and summer season. Many of our patients who had waited to have liposuction have already seen the difference we can make with the combination of tumescent liposuction and SmartLipo. These two procedures combine the ease of outpatient surgery with quick recovery time (back to work in one or two days!). Additionally, many patients have been able to avoid a tummy tuck, making it a much less expensive procedure.

If you are interested in getting SmartLipo done before one more summer goes by, give us a call now at (402) 334-7546 or email Rachael@LovelySkin.com.

VelaShape for Cellulite - Special $200 offer
Our VelaShape machine has been very busy this summer season, and it continues to show promise for cellulite and body shaping. Even patients who have undergone previous procedures for cellulite are very impressed with this technology. It heats up the fat with infrared technology, allowing for more thorough results. We are offering a special price this summer of $200 a treatment, which is a considerable savings.

If you are interested, give us a call at (402) 334-7546 or email Rachael@LovelySkin.com for more info.
     
Acne Studies
We continue to run exciting acne studies in our research area, Advanced Skin Research Center. Within the next month we hope to test another oral medication for acne. This trial will begin recruiting sometime in late July or early August. If you have acne and wish to participate in a clinical trial on acne, email us at Study@LovelySkin.com for more info.
     
New Melanoma Research
A report in the New England Journal of Medicine about a new immunologic treatment for melanoma reports on some interesting developments that may prove helpful in the future for this terrible problem. We see melanomas each and every day in our practice, and any new ways to treat this problem is most welcome. The article regarding this is noted below, but remember that this was carried out with a very select group of people and the technology isn't ready (or proven safe) for larger groups of people yet. For the present, keep it safe and avoid the sun when possible!

New Jan Marini Eyelash product


Cathy Hutfless
Director,
LovelySkin.com
We are excited to have one more product for eyelash growth. Eyelash growth is one of the most interesting new areas we have entered to help our patients and customers, and Jan Marini's products have been our favorite in this area.

This new product, Marini Lash, has a proprietary peptide in it and will be a nice addition to the Jan Marini product line. We still have limited product available with the prostaglandin analogue (Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash) but are totally out of the Masses of Lashes. Some of our employees are going to be doing a face-off on this product versus the Age Intervention Eyelash and we will let you know the results.

Marini Lash Age Intervention Eyelash
List Price: $160.00 List Price: $160.00
On Sale:$136.00
     
     

Mosquito Bites and Insect Spray
When traveling into areas where mosquitos and ticks are common, it is best to find an insect repellent with high levels of DEET. Typically, insect sprays contain DEET, but some of the newer ones don't and that may lead to poor protection, especially from ticks. If you look on the ingredient panel of your insect spray, the percentage of DEET is noted. DEET levels should be 75% or greater if going into areas with high concentrations of ticks or mosquitos.

Psoriasis study
Skin Specialists PC, will soon be conducting a Psoriasis Study involving the use of an investigational injectable drug to treat the symptoms of moderate-severe Plaque Psoriasis. The study will last for 12 weeks, and require approximately 7 visits to our office plus going off-site to obtain an EKG and chest x-ray. In order to qualify, at least 10% of your body must be affected with plaque psoriasis, and you must be healthy, must not have used Enbrel (injectable medication to treat Psoriasis) and must be at least 19 years of age. There is no cost for you to participate, and there will be compensation for your participation.

If you are interested in pre-registering for either of these studies, please go to www.LovelySkin.com/study.
     
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) observational study
Skin Specialists PC, is conducting a very important observation study to assess the long-term safety of Protopic ointment 0.03% or 0.1% in the treatment of subjects with eczema (atopic dermatitis). The study will last for 10 years; subjects will be required to come to our office each year for assessment of their atopic dermatitis and for a general physical exam. A skin check will be performed once every two years and there will be two interviews, either by phone or by a mailed questionnaire.

In order to qualify, you/your child must have been exposed to Protopic by the age of 16. You/your child must have used the Protopic to treat the eczema (atopic dermatitis) for 6 weeks, either continuously or intermittently.

Subjects will receive a $10.00 gift card after each subject interview.

Acne studies
Dr. Schlessinger is currently screening for three new acne studies; two of the studies involve testing a topical medication for mild to moderate acne, and the other involves testing an oral medication for patients with more severe acne. Patients must be at least 12 years of age to qualify for both studies. If you are interested in learning more about these studies, please contact Nicole or Rhonda at 402-697-6599.

Obagi and Wrinkle study
We will soon be conducting a study to determine the benefits of using the Obagi skin care line versus another skin care line when they are used along with Botox. While the skin care line use will be reimbursed, the Botox treatment will not be a covered expense for this study. You must be between the ages of 30-65 to qualify, and be willing to come in for 5 visits during the 16 week study. There will be compensation for your participation. If you are interested in learning more about this study, please contact Rhonda or Nicole at 402-697-6599.
