Bay Area Laser Cosmetic Surgery

Molding And Forming The Body Through Cosmetic SurgeryDr. Serebrakian combines artistic vision and surgical skill to meet patients’ goals

�If you are ready to make improvements to your appear-

ance, how do you choose a physician? Th e fi rst and most impor-

tant step is selecting a surgeon you can trust, one who is trained

and experienced in all cosmetic surgery procedures, operates

only in accredited medical facilities, and adheres to a strict code

of ethics. If you do your homework, you’ll fi nd that Dr. Ar-

men Serebrakian heads the list of Otolaryngology & Head and

Neck Reconstructive and Facial Plastic Surgeons who meet all

of these criteria.

Dr. Serebrakian has been helping patients reach their

goals for over 20 years. Unique to his practice, and attractive

to his patients, are the vari-

ous cutting-edge procedures

he uses to correct misshap-

en noses, drooping eyelids,

and excess skin and wrinkles. Dr. Serebrakian consults with

each and every patient to ensure they understand their op-

tions: non-invasive (including Botox, laser hair removal, and

wrinkle fi lling) or permanent surgical repair. “Facial recon-

struction is part art and part medicine. A good facial plas-

tic and cosmetic surgeon has to have a well-developed artis-

tic concept of sculpturing parts of the body, as well as good

surgical techniques,” says Dr. Serebrakian. Based on this belief,

Dr. Serebrakian’s goal is to provide his patients with the best

medical treatment possible, and get them back to work quickly.

His procedures are safe and well-executed, and he gets not only

good, but excellent results. To learn more, call Bay Area Laser

Surgery to reserve your space at any one of several upcoming

complimentary seminars.

Dr. Serebrakian was one of the fi rst in the Bay Area to utilize

lasers for eyelid surgery and facial rejuvenation, as well as for

snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Serebrakian established the Bay

Area Laser Surgery Center in 1997, where he successfully treats

a variety of skin conditions, including birthmarks, moles, scars,

sunspots, rosacea, leg/facial spider veins, and varicosities. Dr.

Serebrakian also sees patients for laser eyelid surgery, facial im-

plants/lip augmentation, mid-face/necklifts, browlifts, liposuc-

tion, facial resurfacing, Botox, injectable fi llers, hair removal,

tattoo removal, and more.

Eden Day Spa

Refresh For SpringInner peace and outer well being can be yours

�Spring is in the air at Eden Day Spa, a Mediterranean-

inspired sanctuary that off ers state-of-the-art treatments in

skin care for the face and body. Bringing to San Anselmo over

30 years’ experience, Katayoun lives and breathes skin care.

Traveling through Europe, she is constantly researching the

newest innovations in age-defying techniques and products.

Inspired by her father, a dermatologist specializing in treating

burn victims, Katayoun became passionate about skin care

and making people feel good about themselves: “Skin care has

been my passion from a young age, wanting women to feel

beautiful and healthy.”

Based on the therapeutic properties of the historic Turkish

baths, Eden Day Spa is a results-oriented spa that strives to help

clients reach their beauty goals. Katayoun says, “We want our

clients to have an exceptional experience and be wowed!” Th e

spa is beautifully decorated, with gorgeous artwork and tiles

gracing the welcoming reception area where authentic Turkish

tea is served.

Enjoy the most advanced technologies and facial treatments

available catered specifi cally for your skin. Th e spa specializes

in anti-aging therapies to give you a luminous, healthy glow.

One of Eden’s most popular off erings is the Age Reversal Treat-

ment (ART). Using leading-edge European techniques to deep-

ly penetrate the skin’s layers, ART builds up natural collagen

resulting in immediate, long-lasting age-defying eff ects. One

of the newest and most unique treatments available at Eden is

the Organic Lift. Employing the most advanced technology,

pure hyaluronic is transported into deep skin layers nourish-

ing the cells. Th e skin is lifted and plumped, creating a tighter,

smoother complexion.

In addition to skin care, highly skilled therapists provide a

variety of soothing massages designed to knead out stress, in-

crease circulation and pamper every muscle. Th eir most popu-

lar massage is the Hot Stone Massage. Stones are used not just

to enhance but also to soothe and heal.

A wonderful addition to a massage is the Turkish Body Peel.

A special formula from Turkey is applied with a “keeseh,” a

traditional hand-woven mitt, to deeply exfoliate your body,

leaving the skin glowing and youthful. Th e peel is followed

by a warming infrared private sauna. Th e sauna is also used in

Eden’s Detox Program, a multi-step process that removes dead

skin cells, expunges toxins and increases metabolism. Th e in-

frared sauna is complimentary for 15 minutes, so come in to

experience its relaxing and reviving eff ects.

Body Time

A Marin GemThe little shop that could

�Forty years ago, a pair of friends who were related by

marriage started a bath and body care company out of a garage

in Berkeley. Little did they know that their creation would give

birth to a new industry.

Originally called “Th e Body Shop,” before those people

across the pond used the moniker, Body Time has gone from 10

stores to a very comfortable four around the Bay Area. Th e Brits

purchased the name when their Body Shop wanted to open in

the U.S. and since that time the original bath and body care

company has been called “Body Time.”

Housed in a charming storefront, the San Anselmo shop has

been a fi xture in town for 30 years. Fitting right in with the

village feel, Body Time is the go-to place for custom-scented

products, luscious moisturizers and shampoos and the trade-

marked classic China Rain line. Manager Joanne Holmes cre-

ates a comfortable atmosphere with her gregarious attitude and

lovely presence.

Body Time’s products and philosophy are unique. Th ey are

the only body-care store to still custom-scent lotions, bubble

baths and shampoos; choose from 60 perfume oils and 30 es-

sential oils to make a fragrance just right for you. Th eir Bo-

tanical line is earth-friendly while being therapeutic, using the

highest quality ingredients, organically grown and sustainably

produced. Th ey support women, traditional art and conserva-

tion by carrying baskets woven in Rwanda and Uganda. Wom-

en weavers from the edge of an endangered gorilla habitat are

now able to provide healthcare for their families and school

uniforms for children.

Body Time customers can bring their bottles back for refi lls

and get a discount on their new purchase.

Stop by Body Time and sign up for the Frequent Buyer Club.

You’ll get 10 percent off each purchase, 20 percent on Tuesdays.

Come in and support the original body shop: Body Time.

�Peggy Knight knows about the pain of hair loss. All

her hair fell out due to alopecia. Rather than hiding away

under an inferior wig, Peggy took on the hair prosthetic

industry and encouraged them to create and market products

for women. With Peggy’s impetus, better wigs and hairpieces

were developed for women and, eventually, for children

suff ering from medical hair loss.

Peggy Knight Solutions creates custom hairpieces and wigs

goal is to provide a natural look for clients so they can lead a

normal life with confi dence.

Peggy and her friend Kathy are the proud founders of the char-

ity, Locks of Love. Children and adults grow their hair, cut it and

donate it to those who have no hair. It is a charity that thrives be-

cause it is a way that children and adults can contribute something

of themselves to others who are not as fortunate.

BrightStar

Lending A Helping HandBrightStar offers care for every age and every stage of life

�We created BrightStar because we once needed help car-

ing for a loved one, and didn’t know where to turn to give her

the help and care she needed and deserved. BrightStar off ers

home care for people of all ages, including elder care, nanny/

sitting services and medical staffi ng for families and healthcare

providers. At BrightStar of Marin and San Francisco we take a

quality of care approach to every client we serve. We guarantee

compatibility by carefully assessing care needs and client prefer-

ences. With over 20 years of experience in the local offi ce, our

Director of Nursing , an experienced RN and Nurse Practitio-

ner, oversees each caregiver. We hire and train the highest qual-

ity caregivers with our rigorous screening and testing measures.

Our focus on quality service means a BrightStar staff member

answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Look at what our clients say about our services: “Before

BrightStar, our mom wasn’t eating properly and constantly

combative. After a week with the caring people from Bright-

Star, she’s eating well, looking healthier and always in a good

mood. Th e companionship has done a world of good for her.”

“After my dad moved into our home, we were disappointed

when he started showing signs of depression. My husband and

I both work and couldn’t take time off to be at home with him

during the week. After the BrightStar caregiver was here for

two days, he was his usual gregarious self. We don’t know what

we’d do without them.”

Breast Thermography

Alternatives In Breast HealthSafe and sound screening assesses cancer risk

�Recently the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force sug-

gested that women delay getting regular mammograms until age

50. Th is fl ies in the face of recommendations by the American

Cancer Society, leaving many confused about how to proceed

with their breast health. Nurse Practitioner Donna Scippa off ers

a way to go forward by providing lifestyle consultations as well

as breast thermography exams. Th ermography has been around

since 1982 as adjunctive screening.

Regrettably it hasn’t caught on in the arena of Western medi-

cine, but it still has an important place at the table with the other

modalities used for breast cancer screening. Based on the prin-

ciple that metabolic activity in both pre-cancerous tissue and

the surrounding area is higher than in normal breast tissue, tem-

perature variations can be detected by medical infrared cameras.

Analyzed by sophisticated computers, the information provides

an early risk assessment. Women from the age of 20 can benefi t

from this screening.

Breast thermography is non-invasive and radiation-free, thus

giving women a safe test that empowers them to be more proac-

tive in their own health maintenance.

Institute For Health Management

Achieve And Maintain Your Ideal WeightRealize your goals with medically supervised weight loss

� Th e Institute for Health Management (IHM) is a med-

ically supervised rapid weight loss program treating patients

since 1983 in Marin and Sonoma counties. Under the medical

supervision of Robert Park, M.D., FACP, IHM utilizes a very

low calorie diet (VLCD), which allows patients 18 to 85 years

old to undergo a maximal rate of weight loss (approx. 3 lbs/

week for females, 5-7 lbs/week for males) yet still be medically

safe. Obesity-related medical problems of high blood pressure,

diabetes mellitus (both Type I and Type II), elevated choles-

terol, sleep apnea, and arthritis of weight-bearing joints respond

well to weight loss between 20 to 300 lbs. or more.

IHM patients are monitored weekly by physicians and nurse

practitioners with concurrent classes in behavioral modifi cation

conducted by a clinical psychologist who has been with our pro-

gram for the past 28 years. Nutritional and exercise programs

are designed to ensure long-term success. Free monthly orienta-

tion lectures allow prospective patients to review the pertinent

details of our highly successful program.

Preventing FallsAwareness and safety help maintain well-being

� Falls are frequently due to hazards that are often easy to

fi x. Even older people who appear to be strong can fall, but you

can lower your chances of falling by doing these simple things.

1. Exercise is an important way to reduce your chanes of fall-

ing. Exercises that improve balance and coordination are

the most helpful. Ask your doctor or health care worker

about the best type of exercise program for you.

2. Half of all falls happen at home.

3. Remove things you can trip over such as papers, books,

clothes, electrical and phone cords.

4. Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep

the rugs from slipping.

5. If you must use a step-stool, use a sturdy one with a hand-

rail and wide steps.

6. Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower.

7. Install proper lighting in your home and on staircases. Keep

a fl ashlight with fresh batteries beside your bed.

8. Have grab bars installed next to your toilet and in the tub

or shower.

9. Avoid walking around in stockings or fl oppy shoes.

Wear shoes that give good support and have non-

slip soles.

10. Consider purchasing a portable phone that you can take

with you from room to room. You can call for help should

an accident occur.

11. Arrange with a family member or friend for daily con-

tact.

12. Have your doctor review your medicines, including ones

that don’t need prescriptions such as cold medicines.

Some medicines can make you drowsy or lightheaded,

which can lead to a fall. Drinking alcoholic beverages also

increases the risk of falling.

13. Have your vision checked. Poor vision can increase your

chances of falling.

Make time for safety! A healthy attitude is encouraged by

healthy lifestyles.
