IAPAM Publishes Reviews Affirming Symposium with Botox Training Exceeds Expectations

Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – June 26, 2012 — The latest reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s Training Seminars in Scottsdale, Arizona have been published. Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Physician testimonials about the physician-lead Symposium with Botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and the IAPAM’s comprehensive and respected Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) rave about how the IAPAM educates physicians on how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG and Botox Training programs are different than any other educational programs offered in North America. No other programs in the U.S. offer this combination of expert-led training coupled with a forum where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences. The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding aesthetic medical treatments to a practice.

Unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s Training receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Since 2006, well over 1300 physicians and their staff have taken the IAPAM’s hCG and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training courses, and here are the latest reviews:

Beauchamp Foot Care Offers One of the Best Treatments in London for Eliminating Toenail Fungus

Beauchamp Foot Care offers a toenail fungus laser treatment that kills toenail fungus safely and quickly. The new patented technology is one of the best in London for eliminating toenail fungus. Results show that the majority of patients who have received the toenail fungus laser treatment experience visible improvement within the first three months.

Knightsbridge, London, UK, May 31, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — Beauchamp Foot Care is pleased to offer patients a simple toenail fungus laser treatment using state-of-the-art laser technology. The laser is fast, effective and patients are able to immediately return to their daily activities. The foot specialists at Beauchamp Foot Care are experienced and dedicated to continued professional development in order to insure patients receive the best care and service.

“We most often see frustrated patients who have tried topical treatments and oral medications to treat their toenail fungus and nothing worked,” explained Fiona Patterson, Podiatrist at Beauchamp Foot Care ( http://www.beauchampfootcare.com/ ). “Being able to offer the toenail fungus laser treatment is also offering a new opportunity for our patients.”

Beauchamp Foot Care uses the PinPointe Foot Laser for the toenail fungus laser treatment ( http://www.beauchampfootcare.com/treatment ). The treatment is fast, usually consisting of two 60 minute procedures given about four to six months apart. The toenail fungus laser treatment requires no oral or systematic drugs and has no unpleasant side effects. It’s also suitable for all ages, and doesn’t damage healthy nail or skin.

The laser works by killing the fungus in the nail by shining a laser light beam through the toenail, eliminating the pathogens that cause the infection. There is no analgesia required. This toenail fungus laser treatment is effective for toenails and fingernails and has been approved for use in Europe and the United States.

“For more than 10 years I’ve been battling with a horrible toenail fungus. I’ve tried prescriptive drugs, tea tree oil, paint on liquids, you name it, I’ve tried it,” said Carol from Surrey, a patient at Beauchamp Foot Care. “I’ve had two laser treatments and am so excited to see healthy nail appearing and the hideous fungal infection finally growing out.”

Beauchamp Foot Care offers a free consultation for the toenail fungus laser treatment. All procedures are done by registered podiatrists and there is no extra charge for preparatory work on nails.

Demand for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders Care Prompts Eating Recovery Center Expansion

International Center for Eating Disorders Recovery Expands Partial Hospitalization Program for Children and Adolescents to Address Rising Incidence of Eating Disorders in Young Patient Populations

Denver, CO, May 30, 2012 – In response to an increasing demand for child and adolescent eating disorders care, Eating Recovery Center, an international center for eating disorders recovery, has expanded its Partial Hospitalization Program for Children and Adolescents. With the opening of a new facility in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood, this 11-hour-per-day, family-based treatment program will nearly triple current capacity. Eating Recovery Center’s child and adolescent programs, which provide inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment to boys and girls ages 10 through 17, have been in high demand since the Center opened its Behavioral Hospital for Children and Adolescents in January of 2011.

The prevalence of eating disorders in adolescence and childhood has steadily increased in recent years. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, from 1999 to 2006, hospitalizations for eating disorders increased by 119 percent for children younger than 12 years.

“The growing need for eating disorders treatment programs with specialized expertise in managing the therapeutic and medical needs of children, adolescents and families is apparent,” said Ovidio Bermudez, MD, FAAP, FSAHM, FAED, CEDS, medical director of child and adolescent services and chief medical officer of Eating Recovery Center. “The expansion of the Partial Hospitalization Program for Children and Adolescents enables Eating Recovery Center to address this trend by providing comprehensive treatment to a significantly larger number of patients and families.”

Offering a critical stepping-stone in the eating disorders recovery process for young patients, the Partial Hospitalization Program enables patients and their families to participate in daily programming that emphasizes communication skills, relapse prevention strategies and healthy parent/child interactions. Through individual, group and family therapy and staff-supported meals, families begin to work toward returning to “life as usual” outside of their child’s structured eating disorders treatment environment. The overall focus is on recovery and well-being.

Patients participate in a combination of individual, group and family therapy emphasizing recovery skills and the role of families in lasting recovery. They engage with a licensed teacher at Eating Recovery Center’s Learning Center in the afternoons to facilitate a seamless transition back to school following treatment. While their child is in treatment, parents and family members receive twice-a-day education lectures and participate in support groups. Multi-family groups and family meals are also embedded in the weekly schedule to foster a supportive community for patients and family members.

“Our treatment philosophy recognizes the importance of family involvement, education and empowerment in the recovery process,” continued Dr. Bermudez. “Treatment programming acknowledges that many child and adolescent patients are too developmentally young to take full ownership of weight restoration, sustainable recovery skills and aftercare, and provides parents with tools to continue to facilitate recovery at home.”

When patients are medically and psychiatrically stable, the structure and support of 24-hour care environment is not necessary and there is willingness and availability among both patient and parents to engage in intensive outpatient treatment, the Partial Hospitalization Program can be a meaningful starting point for families to begin the recovery process. Alternatively, patients can step down to this level of care from Eating Recovery Center’s inpatient and residential programs for children and adolescents. In the latter instance, continuity of care is a priority and patients will retain the same treatment team throughout their full course of treatment.

The only privately owned licensed psychiatric hospital in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to treating eating disorders and providing all levels of care for adults, adolescents and children, Eating Recovery Center’s Denver-based facilities include the Behavioral Hospital for Adults, the Behavioral Hospital for Children and Adolescents, the Partial Hospitalization Program and Outpatient Services for Adults, and the Partial Hospitalization Program for Children and Adolescents. In addition, Eating Recovery Center, in partnership with Summit Eating Disorders and Outreach Program, offers Partial Hospitalization and Outpatient Services in northern California.

Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care, Sacramento has Treated Over 1000 Patients with Revolutionary Toenail Fungus Laser Treatment

Millions of people suffer from an embarrassing toenail fungus problem, known as onychomycosis, that can often be difficult to treat. There is now a treatment available that doesn’t require the use of expensive topical medications. Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care has successfully treated over thousands of patients with a non-invasive, drug-free toenail fungus laser treatment.

Sacramento, CA, May 24, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care is pleased to announce the successful treatment of over a thousand patients with a revolutionary toenail fungus laser treatment. The doctor’s toenail fungus laser treatment is a non-invasive, drug-free procedure that vaporizes fungal spores embedded in the nail bed. Research indicates that this one-time procedure cures fungus in roughly 70 percent of patients.

Dr. Uro is the second podiatrist in the country to offer the toenail fungus laser treatment. Dr. Uro has treated more patients with this laser system than any other physician. He has trained doctors from across the United States in this exciting new technology, as well as England, Australia, Canada, Turkey and Guam.

“Many people suffer from toenail fungus, and it can be difficult to get rid of. The toenail fungus laser treatment kills the pathogens within the nail bed and addresses the root of the problem,” says Dr. Uro, doctor of podiatry at Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care ( http://www.toelaser.com ). “The toenail fungus laser treatment has given my patients the results they have been looking for.”

The laser is a specially designed, medical device that shines a laser light beam through the toenail, into the nail bed and nail plate. The laser literally vaporizes the embedded pathogens which cause toenail fungus. ( http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center ) The toenail fungus laser treatment does not harm the nail or surrounding skin. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes and can be done comfortably in the privacy of a doctor’s office, with little or no discomfort.

Dr. Uro’s web site features several informative videos that describe the toenail fungus laser treatment process, at http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center/videos

“I really disliked the way my toenails looked due to a fungal infection, but didn’t want to treat my whole body with medication just to fix my toenails,” explained Susan, a patient at Dr. Michael Uro Footcare. “Dr. Uro’s toenail fungus laser treatment was the answer. I am very happy with the results. My follow-up treatments have gone very well and as soon as my toenails can grow a little more, I will feel very comfortable showing my feet in public. Thank you, Dr. Uro.”
