From Botox Training to Social Media Marketing, the IAPAM’s Workshops Offer it All

Leave a comment

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 31, 2012) — From Botox ® training for physicians to marketing an aesthetic medical business, the IAPAM offers the industry’s most comprehensive workshops for physicians. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Practice Start Up Workshop is the only medical spa business program highlighting the latest information on social media marketing and is taught by an actual medspa owner who knows the facts.

Both business and clinical training (Botox ® training, laser training, hCG training, etc.) are the best foundation upon which a successful medical spa can be launched. The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers a choice of educational programs which give physicians a thorough knowledge of the business of building a medspa, and of the latest technologies and clinical advances required to grow that business.

By attending the IAPAM’s Business Bootcamp (http://www.iapam.com/bootcamp.html), as well as the IAPAM’s hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) and the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), physicians will avoid many of the common pitfalls of the aesthetic industry. The programs are taught by experts and physicians who own and operate hCG Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetic Medicine practices, so attendees are learning from a faculty who have practical experience.

Attendees at the Aesthetic Practice Start-up Workshop leave with a business plan for their specific aesthetic medicine practice, including:

1. Financing Options.
2. Target Demographics for your Procedures.
3. Developing a menu of Treatments and Pricing Strategy.
4. Establishing Aesthetic Practice Protocols for your staff (examples included on CD).
5. Creating an effective Marketing Plan, including incorporating low-cost internet marketing strategies (SEO web sites and press releases) and the latest social media marketing strategies (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn).
6. Finding the Right Location.
7. Staffing (job descriptions included on CD).
8. Federal and State legal and regulatory issues.
9. How to Read Financials.

A complementary training offering by the IAPAM is the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training. The weekend Symposium, the Friday hCG Training and the Monday Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop offer new medspa managers, owner-physicians, and key staff involved with an aesthetic medical practice, all the tools to ensure their business is profitable, customizable and sustainable.

For additional information and to register for the next Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop or the next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training, please contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704 or info@theiapam.com

Mr. Universe Jeff Primm Joins Sisel International

Leave a comment

Jeff Primm started in bodybuilding over 30 years ago and working as a personal trainer for more than 25 years.

Rockford, IL, March 30, 2012 – Mr. Universe Jeff Primm joins Sisel International. Visit http://www.mysisel.com/primmandproper to join Jeff Primm NOW or call his business partner Dan Block at 815-980-0664. Jeff Primm started in bodybuilding over 30 years ago and working as a personal trainer for more than 25 years. Jeff Primm holds titles in 7 bodybuilding federations and includes notable titles of; Mr. Illinois, Mr. World, Mr. Usa, Mr. America.

In 1999, Jeff Primm reached the all-time pinnacle of bodybuilding titles Mr. Universe. Having conquered the competitive bodybuilding arena, Jeff Primm knew he wanted to turn his time and focus towards helping others achieve their dreams too. In 1990, Jeff Primm established his personal training gym which is a culmination of a lifetime of Jeff’s passion for bodybuilding, physical and mental fitness, and helping others achieve a better quality of life. Jeff enjoys his family time and is always seen with his wife and kids. Jeff Primm’s gym members are treated as if they are part of Jeff Primm’s family everyone knows each other and it is an enjoyable experience. Jeff Primm takes great pride in learning about people and who they are as a person, before they embark on the journey of changing their physical and mental self. It takes a lot of dedication to lose 30+ lbs and Jeff Primm makes himself available to all his clients. Whether they have a question about what to eat, what meal replacement to take, or what supplements are best Jeff Primm answers personal calls pretty much at any time to answer questions. Throughout Jeff Primm’s bodybuilding career he has been asked to do movies, commercials, and be a spokesperson for products. Jeff Primm has never accepted any offer and has never endorsed a product for money to this day.

Many people have approached Jeff Primm and his wife to build a network marketing company, but the products never really had any validity or science to them. When Jeff Primm was introduced to Sisel International he was skeptical until he had the chance to speak to Tom Mower on the phone and quickly realized that Tom knew his science behind his products extremely well. This intrigued Jeff. A few weeks passed and Tom reached out to Jeff Primm about the new weight loss products and meal replacement program about to be released. On that call Tom asked Jeff to speak at the 1st national conference in Vegas about the product and his knowledge in fitness and supplements. Jeff Primm accepted Tom’s offer and spoke in front of a large audience. Jeff Primm went over his time allowed and the people were loving how real he was and the truth about nutrition. “Lack of information on the products that people are putting into their bodies is shocking! Most people trying to lose weight are just blindly buying products they know little about like the soy based products that are loaded with toxins.” Jeff Primm says, ”with the input of fitness it will speed up the process of permeating the product through your body, you can simply start taking the products Sisel offers and begin to feel good which will then be a catalyst to continue to work towards your weight loss goals.”

Jeff admires Tom’s humbleness and family values. Tom was literally begging Jeff to bring his family out to his home in Utah so the kids could play with his young daughter. Jeff says “the Triangle of Life is phenomenal. However, people need to stay active and do something with their new found energy. Whether that means go camping, kayaking, rock climbing, fishing, or even ball room dancing people need to experience what life has to offer. People get caught up in work and never seem to get ahead in life. With Sisel people can actually regain their health and by doing so take back their finances as a bi product, which will enable them to take back their lives!” Jeff is committed to doing videos to teach people how to work out properly and stay on the right path of what to eat and when to eat and the correct foods to eat for weight training. Sisel is a perfect fit for Jeff Primm and is anxious to help many people take back their lives.

Join Jeff Primm now by going to http://www.mysisel.com/primmandproper . Jeff Primm is building one of the fastest growing businesses in Sisel International. Rockford IL was named the 4th obese city in the nation and Dan Block and Jeff Primm are doing a tv campaign in the Rockford IL area to build the Sisel business with people within Jeff Primm’s organization.

Chordoma Foundation Announces the Launch of an Improved Website.

Leave a comment

World’s leading chordoma information resources now available.

Durham, NC March 29, 2012 – Since 2007, the Chordoma Foundation has been the only organization in the world dedicated to finding a cure for chordoma, a rare cancer that affects the neck and spine of people of all ages. The Foundation’s website has become the world’s leading source of information about chordoma for patients, families, researchers and physicians. To better serve all of these constituents, the Chordoma Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a newly designed website at chordomafoundation.org.

“For rare diseases like chordoma, vital information is often hard to come by,” says Josh Sommer, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Chordoma Foundation and a chordoma survivor. “Our new website will empower patients to more effectively navigate treatment, doctors to better manage their chordoma patients, and researchers to more easily study the disease.”

A new section for patients and families includes easy-to-understand information about chordoma and treatment options, a doctor database, an up-to-date list of open clinical trials, opportunities to participate in research, and a vast list of helpful resources.

“A patient’s initial treatment can have a major impact on their outcome and quality of life” says Sommer. “It is, therefore, critical to our mission that any newly diagnosed patient visiting our website come away with the information they need to get the best care possible.”

For scientists and physicians, the site features tools to facilitate collaboration and information sharing. A Researcher Directory lists over 150 colleagues and potential collaborators across the world, and a resource repository catalogues all publically available chordoma cell lines, animal models and datasets.

Chordoma is a relentless and difficult to treat bone cancer that occurs in the head and spine in people of all ages.  Since its inception in 2007, the Chordoma Foundation has systematically funded and facilitated research to develop new treatments, and ultimately a cure, for chordoma. More information on chordoma, the Foundation, and opportunities to contribute to this important research can be found online at chordomafoundation.org.

Eating Disorders in Children are on the Rise; Eating Recovery Center Urges Prevention at Home

Leading Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders Treatment Program Offers 10 Tips to Help Parents Prevent Eating Disorders

Denver, CO, March 29, 2012 – Between 1999 and 2006, hospitalizations for eating disorders in children 12 and younger rose 119 percent, according to a 2010 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics. In an effort to curb the growth of anorexia, bulimia, EDNOS and binge eating disorder in this young patient population, Eating Recovery Center (www.EatingRecoveryCenter.com), an international center for eating disorders recovery, urges parents to take preventive measures at home to stop eating disorders before they start.

“While clinicians have yet to identify the absolute keys to preventing eating disorders, we do know that positive parental involvement and heightened awareness can help foster the development of healthy relationships among children, their bodies and food,” explains Ovidio Bermudez, MD, FAAP, FSAHM, FAED, CEDS, medical director of child and adolescent services at Eating Recovery Center.

Eating Recovery Center offers 10 recommendations to help parents practice eating disorders prevention at home:

1. Understand your own feelings and attitudes toward body image, body size, weight and health.

2. Model healthy attitudes and behaviors toward eating, exercise, body weight and shape and self-acceptance. Children will often mirror their parents’ thoughts and actions surrounding these issues.

3. Educate yourself about the complex nature of eating disorders. An informed parent is more aware and more likely to notice early warning signs or concerning behaviors.

4. Help your child manage stress. Reduce complexity in your child’s life to prevent or relieve anxiety and fear, which may lead to disordered eating in children who are particularly vulnerable to stress.

5. Focus on eating at ease during mealtimes. Promoting the social value of mealtimes strengthens family ties and relationships. Stressful, tense eating situations are counterproductive in efforts to develop healthy patterns around food consumption.

6. Maintain open lines of communication. Interaction is the antidote for the isolation and secretiveness that can sometimes allow a child to transition negative beliefs and attitudes into disordered eating behaviors.

7. Examine your child’s dieting and exercise habits. From a neurochemical perspective, these are not always benign activities. With the help of a medical professional, explore whether weight loss or increased exercise are healthy choices that support normal growth and development.

8. Monitor the beliefs and attitudes of your child’s friends. Children are eager to fit in and will often mimic their friends’ attitudes and behaviors—even those that are negative and potentially destructive.

9. Watch your child’s technology use. Websites and social media create a sense of “community” in which your child can learn about and compete at disordered eating behaviors. Studies have shown that both pro-eating disorder and pro-recovery online messages have risks to impressionable young minds.

10. Be aware of anxiety and depression, and seek care if your child shows signs of these conditions. The negative self image that is often associated with these conditions can lead to efforts to manage emotional insecurities via dieting and exercise.

“Even if parents are not able to prevent eating disorder-related behaviors in their children, prevention activities – such as being well informed about eating disorders and recognizing changes in attitude or behaviors that may suggest your child is at risk – are invaluable for enhancing early recognition and timely intervention,” continues Dr. Bermudez.

If your child begins showing symptoms of disordered eating, immediately seek eating disorders support from a qualified professional. Early intervention significantly improves the likelihood of recovery.

Parker CO Children’s Dentist Improving Oral Health

What makes the difference between an unsuccessful and successful Parker CO Children’s Dentist is the ability of the latter to use different techniques and methods of keeping the kids they treat in good mood. It is from this point that the child appreciates the value of observing high standards of oral hygiene into adulthood.
A qualified Parker CO Children’s Dentist will appreciate and point out to the parents that there are a lot of considerations in this particular field of dentistry and it is a joint effort of both the parents and the dental professional. A Parker CO Children’s Dentist has his or her work cut out. Usually they need a lot of assistance from dental assistants, aides and others. The reasons for this include the facts that children are basically restless, they do not like their oral cavity to be open for a long period of time, and they are wary of things that other people put in their mouths, and thus the dentist will require a well tined paramedic to help him or her.
An experienced and highly successful Parker CO Children’s Dentist will not miss some astounding ways to command the child’s attention and be able to actually offer the right medical attention. It is best for the children’s dentist to first make the child at ease in the clinic by just inspecting the child’s teeth without actually starting with the serious business. This step familiarizes the child with the oral health care professional. When searching for a professional and highly experienced Parker CO Children’s Dentist to attend to your kids, you need to look at his or her credentials, and also ask to see the clinic as this is important in determining whether your child will get quality dental care service.

Statistics Confirm Increased Demand for Botox Correlates to Increase in Botox Training

Leave a comment

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 28, 2012) — The IAPAM has identified a correlation between the 2012 increase in attendees at its hands-on Symposium with Botox ® Training, and the growth in 2011 in botox ® injections, dermal filler procedures and other non-surgical treatments. Physicians looking to combat declining insurance reimbursements are looking to add aesthetic medicine procedures like botox ®, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and chemical peels to their practices.

Through discussion with its members, and by analyzing recent aesthetic medicine statistics, like the ASPS 2011 Plastic Surgery Procedural Statistics and the ASAPS’s Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics 2011, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has identified that in 2011, aesthetic medicine physicians were preforming more botox ® and other cosmetic injectables procedures, more chemical peel treatments, more laser skin rejuvenation, and more medical microdermabrasions vs. more invasive treatments.

As the ASAPS reports in March 2012, “Americans spent nearly $10 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2011. Of that total ….. $1.7 billion was spent on injectable procedures; $1.6 billion was spent on skin rejuvenation procedures; and over $360 million was spent on other nonsurgical procedures, including laser hair removal and laser treatment of leg veins.”

The ASAPS also found that from 1997 to 2011, there was a 356% increase in the total number of “minimally-invasive procedures such as injectables, skin resurfacing and laser procedures.” In support of this tremendous market growth, the IAPAM has tailored its educational programs, like its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), to ensure physicians have hands-on botox ® training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining.html), laser training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/laser-training) and medical microdermabrasion training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/microdermabrasion-training), and can start offering aesthetic medical procedures immediately after attending.

Also, for the first time, the ASAPS reported on “the total number of non-surgical procedures being performed in their practices by BOTH physicians and their physician assistants and nurse injectors.” The results of this expanded survey showed almost a doubling in the numbers of minimally invasive procedures that were actually being performed from 2010 to 2011:

1. Botulinum Toxin Type A: 4,030,318 procedures performed in 2011
2. Hyaluronic Acid: 1,662,480 procedures performed in 2011
3. Laser Hair Removal: 1,452,880 procedures performed in 2011
4. Microdermabrasion: 794,357 procedures performed in 2011
5. IPL Laser Treatment: 726,125 procedures performed in 2011

Since the key to growth in 2012 will be offering lower cost, short term procedures (i.e. botox ®, dermal fillers, chemical peels, physician-directed skin care, laser skin rejuvenation, and medical microdermabrasion) versus higher cost, long term procedures (i.e. breast augmentation and tummy tucks), physicians will seek out professional training programs, offered in medical facilities not hotel rooms, and taught by physicians and other expertly trained medical and business personnel. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox ® Training, Aesthetic Medicine Practice Start-Up Workshops and hCG Medical Weight Management Seminars (http://www.hcgtraining.com), are all designed by physicians for physicians, to meet this essential educational need.

IAPAM Announces April Date for hCG Training: April 27, 2012

Leave a comment

IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 27, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada, March 22, 2012 — On March 14, 2012, Dr. Oz’s comments re-ignited unprecedented positive interest in hCG for weight loss. To meet this consumer demand, the IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 27, 2012. Physicians will learn and receive everything they need to start safely and profitably offering hCG for weight loss to their patients in 2012.

The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has trained over 650 physicians on how to effectively offer hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for weight loss to their patients. To date, well over 20,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Diet (http://www.hcgtraining.com), based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches (http://www.iapam.com/dr-simeons-pounds-and-inches-manuscript.html).

Join the IAPAM for its next hCG Training session of 2012, on April 27, 2012, and prepare to offer hCG for Weight Loss to the flood of patients seeking hCG as a result of seeing Dr. Oz’s recent overview (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/does-hcg-diet-work-pt-1) of this effective weight loss program.

During the segment, Dr. Oz had several key messages regarding the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical grade hCG in a physician-supervised weight loss program. These key messages are consistent with the principals taught in the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com):

1. Consistent with the FDA’s position, homeopathic hCG (hCG drops, etc.) DO NOT WORK. Only pharmaceutical hCG, prescribed by a physician as part of a proven hCG Protocol, is effective in fat and weight loss.
2. Unlike weight loss from a restrictive diet alone, where up to 1/3 of a patient’s weight loss is muscle loss, patients on an hCG Protocol loose fat from their stomachs, buttocks, etc. and “leave the muscle alone.”
3. Dr. Oz recommends that any patient on diet under 1200 calories, should be under the direct care of a physician.

The IAPAM’s hCG Training includes everything a physician needs to add this program to a practice, such as:

– Detailed IAPAM hCG Program Protocols
– Patient selection criteria
– Common medical hCG contraindications
– Consent forms, medical history forms
– Patient hCG Program Guidebook to offer patients (hCG friendly recipes, food journal, tips)
– Patient PowerPoint presentations for the waiting room
– Phone scripts & call logs for your staff
– Legal/Insurance considerations, and current FDA status
– hCG ordering information and special pharmaceutical hCG pricing
– Special hCG Facebook discussion forum
– VLCD/LCD diet programs
– Meal replacement diet programs
– Ketogenic based diet programs
– Utilizing B6/B12 injections in weight loss
– Using prescription appetite suppressants in weight loss
– Metabolism testing as a profit center
– Laser assisted lipolysis
– Listing of your hCG Clinic in the IAPAM’s NEW hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics)

Moreover, the IAPAM’s respected program is taught by true hCG experts who operate hCG weight loss clinics, and who have completed the hCG Protocol themselves. This allows physicians and their staff to learn from the IAPAM faculty’s vast experience. Finally, the IAPAM’s hCG Training is the only Physician hCG Training program in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM. This medical malpractice coverage is not offered to any other hCG training program.

For additional information or to register for the April 27, 2012 hCG Training, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 708, email info@theiapam.com or visit http://www.hcgtraining.com
