Botox Training with the IAPAM Helps Physicians Boost Revenues

As physician incomes decline, physicians are looking to cash based services to boost their bottom lines.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 18, 2012 — Physician income has declined since 2010, according to the recent Medscape’s Physician Compensation Survey Report: 2012 Results. Even among the top earning specialties (radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists and anesthesiologists) incomes declined, and the bottom earning specialties (pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine) saw no gains.

Also, proposed changes in healthcare reform worry physicians, and fifty-two percent of physicians believe that incomes will be further negatively affected under proposed initiatives.

So, to boost their bottom lines, many physicians are adding cash-based services, like botox, to their healthcare businesses. From lasers to hCG, physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) receive the training they need to add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

To insulate a practice from any looming changes in healthcare compensation, physicians need to incorporate these key fundamentals, as taught at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium:

• Understanding the latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage;
• How to develop a successful business plan including steps on how to integrated medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base;
• How to perform aesthetic patient consultations;
• How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, Dysport ® and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care;
• Extensive, physician-lead, hands-on training in Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox®), IPL / laser technology, and medical microdermabrasion; and
• How to maximize profits by offering the most profitable aesthetic medicine procedures like physician strength chemical peels, tailored to meet a specific clinic’s patient profiles.

Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care in Sacramento Offers a Breakthrough Laser Solution for Toenail Fungus

Millions of people in the United States suffer from embarrassing toenail fungus. Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care, Sacramento has effectively treated hundreds of patients in the Sacramento area using a breakthrough toenail fungus laser treatment.

Sacramento, CA, May 12, 2012 (RTPR) — Millions of people in the United States struggle with the embarrassing and uncomfortable issue of toenail fungus. Dr. Michael Uro’s Foot Care Clinic in Sacramento offers the latest technology for toenail fungus laser treatment. The toenail fungus laser treatment has multiple benefits, proving to be fast, safe and effective.

“I’m very excited to have the cutting-edge toenail fungus laser treatment therapy available to my patients,” says Dr. Michael Uro. “We are dedicated to providing the best, most up-to-date treatments available on the market today, along with the most compassionate care possible.”

Since beginning to use the toenail fungus laser treatment three years ago ( http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center ), Dr. Uro has seen new nail growth in patients as quickly as 4 months after the treatments. Within a year, the fungus infected toenails have replaced themselves with healthy new growth.

Dr. Michael Uro Foot Care, Sacramento uses the Cutera GenesisPlus™ Laser system, which treats the toenail fungus by getting to the source of the problem immediately. The toenail fungus laser treatment uses tiny pulses of light from the GenesisPlus™ laser, which pass through the toenail to the fungus underneath. The fungus is eliminated without any damage to the surrounding toenail or skin. The procedure usually consists of one to three treatments, which last about 10 to 20 minutes each. Patients are able to walk out the door wearing the shoes they arrived in. The toenail fungus laser treatment has been cleared by the FDA, no pain medication is needed, and there are no known side effects.

A news report featuring Dr. Uro, and describing how the toenail fungus laser treatment works, can be seen on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnPzTydwaDw

“When I came into the office and saw the photos from the first visit, I had forgotten how bad my nails were,” said Clark M., patient at Dr. Michael Uro’s Foot Care clinic in Sacramento. “Only a nub left on my big toe. The involved nails were sloughing off. After the first treatment, the healthy nails started to grow back by the time of the second treatment. Since my final treatment, the big toe almost looks totally normal with an attached nail. With the laser treatments I hope to keep my feet and nails fungus free from now on. Thank you Dr. Uro and the great team!”

More testimonials from Dr. Michael Uro’s patients can be found on his web site at http://www.toelaser.com/laser-center/testimonials

IAPAM hCG Protocol Remediates Rising Healthcare Costs

Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

Las Vegas, Nevada (April 18, 2012) — The IAPAM offers the most comprehensive hCG Training for physicians looking to add hCG for weight loss to their practices. Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

A recent study from Cornell University found that, “obesity now accounts for almost 21 % of U.S. health care costs – more than twice the previous estimates.” The study also reports that “an obese person incurs medical costs that are $2,741 higher than if they were not obese. Nationwide, that translates into $190.2 billion per year, or 20.6 % of national health expenditures. Previous estimates had pegged the cost of obesity at $85.7 billion, or 9.1 % of national health expenditures.” Moreover, a similar study in March 2012 from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, reported that, “obesity [now] adds more to health care costs than smoking does.”

In an effort to support physicians as they offer safe and effective weight management programs to their patients, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has developed a tool to bring trained hCG physicians and patients together: the IAPAM’s hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics). The IAPAM’s hCG Clinic Listing offers the most comprehensive hCG Diet Clinic listing of physicians, all of whom have been expertly trained in hCG for weight loss, by the IAPAM.

Patients seeking physicians, who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, can browse the directory to find an hCG expert physician in their area. All physicians listed on the IAPAM hCG Diet Clinic Directory page have:

1. advanced training in utilizing hCG for weight loss,
2. only offer pharmaceutical grade hCG, and
3. all their hCG patients use the IAPAM’s comprehensive hCG Protocol Patient Guidebook.
