Beautiful You November Newsletter

Hi Everyone!
    Yes. It's already November! 55 days until Christmas! In between now and then we still have Thanksgiving, decorating, baking, cooking, parties, traveling and shopping! I love shopping more than anyone, but I hate it at the holidays when there are so many crowds and I feel rushed to find something for everyone on my list. Ordering online helps some, but things stilll have to be wrapped, and there are those shipping costs! I have a solution........it's gift certificates! They are personal and show that you took the time to think about what she (or he) would enjoy. At Beautiful You we have gift certificates for every occasion, especially Christmas. You can buy them for any amount and we can even mail them for you. Beautiful You offers multiple services...Botox, Juvederm... The great thing is your wife, friend, sister, husband can choose what they want when they want. We offer free consults. With a gift certificate people can take advantage of sales and specials so your dollar winds up going farther. Come by our office or call us (501)228-6237. We take credit card payments by phone as well as in person.
     For those who didn't get my eBlast...I am having a Botox party on Nov. 15th at my office. You can still reserve a spot. I have three left. The first 20 people to sign up get Botox at $9/unit that night. I will be happy to treat as many people as possible over 20 as I have time. Come join us for wine (or soft drinks) and hors d'ouevres at 6:00pm on November 15th.
     Botox has multiple uses.....frown lines, crows feet, forehead wrinkles, bunny lines and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating under the arms, palms or soles of the feet) just to name a few. Results on the face last about 3 months. Treatments for hyperhidrosis last around 9 months.
     Botox newest indication is for chronic migraines. It has been approved for years in Europe for migraines and used off label in the U.S. for awhile. As of October 15th though, it is FDA approved for use in the U.S. for chronic migraines. You can see the full press release at http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm229782.htm
     Back to the holidays.......I know all you gals and guys want to look your best for family and friends. Not only do we offer Botox, but also Juvederm. Juvederm is a filler I can use to diminish those smile lines to make you look years younger and fill in acne scars to smooth out your complexion. 
     The holidays are always a time to remember our blessings and extend those to others. So between now and Christmas, a percentage of every Botox, or Juvederm treatment will go to the Arkansas Foodbank Network  http://www.arkansasfoodbank.org/ which is available in 33 Arkansas counties. They serve about 23,000 hungry Arkansans a week. I'll let you know the total in my January newsletter.
    Until next month, I wish you a more healthy and Beautiful You!

Botox Party!.......Come Join Us!

On Monday, November 15th I will be hosting a Botox party at my office! Come join us for wine and hors d'oeuvres. Get your Botox at a discount or just come learn more about Botox, fillers and Lipo-Ex! We will be doing free demonstrations of Lipo-Ex and I'll be talking about Botox, Dysport, fillers and Lipo-Ex.

Botox will be $9 per unit for those bothersome frown lines, crows feet, and bunny lines. Botox is normally $12/unit. If you are interested in treatment for hyperhidrosis on your hands, underarms or feet, that is priced by area. Just let me know what you're interested in. The discount will apply for the first 20 people who RSVP to let me know they are interested in a Botox treatment that night. I will accomodate as many people as I can over 20, but those are the only ones to whom I can guarantee the time and discount.

November 15th is the week before Thanksgiving so your Botox will be showing its best effects through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and NewYears if you get it then. If you don't know much about Botox, fillers or Lipo-Ex, just come hang out with us, and learn about them. Have some wine (or soft drinks) and some hors d'ouevres and enjoy the company!

Let's gather about 6:00. I'll plan to start treatments by 6:30. My nurse and Lipo-Ex technician will be there to answer any questions you have so come whatever time you're able and I plan to wrap up by 9 or 9:30 pm.

RSVP to 501-228-6237 or email at Trussell42@gmail.com

Looking forward to seeing you November 15th and making you look years younger!

Let's Talk About Juvederm

Juvederm is one of a larger class of "dermal fillers."  It is made of cross linked hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that occurs in humans. Juvederm is a relatively organic way to fill in and smooth out areas in the face. No allergy testing is required as with some cosmetic injectables. The hyaluronic acid seals in moisture and interacts positively with collagen which keeps our skin looking young and elastic. Juvederm lasts about 9 months, but some people see results up to a year. It's most common use is filling in the lines between the nose and lips known as the "smile lines". It is also frequently used to plump the lips and that also keeps your lipstick from bleeding  into creases above your lip. Juvederm is also very useful for filling in acne scars. A very tiny needle is used to inject Juvederm and I use a special compounded cream to numb up the skin before hand. I personally have had Juvederm in my "smile lines". My nurse has injected mine and I didn't even use the topical anesthetic! Keep watching my Blog and I'll get some of my personal before and after pictures up. Look at the pictures below and you can see that Juvederm is for all ages!

Botox for Hyperhidrosis

Everyone knows that Botox is used to smooth out those forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crows feet. Did you know that Botox is approved for hyperhidrosis as well?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. It can affect the underarms, palm, soles of the feet, and forehead. Botox injections in these sites are extremely effective. For example, underarm sweating is reduced by 90% or more. Obviously some sweating is good, but excess sweating is annoying! Are you a business guy who needs to change your dress shirt part way through the day or ladies do you constantly have sweat stains are your clothes? Do you limit the kinds of clothes you buy because the sweat stains show through? Politicians often have Botox treatment in their palms. Athletes who sweat excessive and constantly ruin their shoes are excellent candidates for Botox as well. 
How does it work? And does it hurt? How long do results last? In the forehead and around the eyes, Botox temporarily paralyzes muscle fibers so that they relax and the wrinkles smooth out. In hyperhidrosis we inject just under the skin where your sweat glands are. Botox freezes the nerves that stimulate sweat glands to produce sweat. When treating frown lines or wrinkles, results usually last 3 months maybe a little longer. However, with hyperhidrosis you can get relief from excess sweating for at least 7 months and sometimes up to 10 months. We use a different, less concentrated solution for Botox and even without any topical anesthetic it doesn't really hurt. We do use a topical numbing cream that makes it even more comfortable. The whole treatment takes about 15 minutes or less. Results are seen within the first 24-48 hours with maximum results at 5 to7 days.
So give us a call at Beautiful You if hyperhidrosis is  making you constantly change shirts, wipe your forehead, wipe your hands or ruining your shoes. We can help with safe and effective Botox treatments.
Remember we also offer Juvederm to get rid of those nasolabial folds, and plump those lips!
