Stress-reducing, Anti-aging Skin Treatment program

Richard M. Foxx, MD
Founder and Medical Director
The Medical and Skin Spa at Hyatt Grand Champions

According to the latest figures, stress is responsible for up to 70 percent of visits to a doctor’s office. And when it comes to cosmetic dermatology, that figure is even higher.

It is well-known that chronic unresolved stress raises cortisol levels and weakens the immune system which contributes to heart disease and high blood pressure. What is less well-known is that this hormone also makes collagen less effective. The result is increased wrinkles.

At least 50 percent of the patients who come into The Medical and Skin Spa present with stress-related skin problems including acne breakouts, increased oiliness, dry skin, and increased wrinkles. Our approach combines proven medical tools to improve the skin along with measures that address mind and spirit. Think spirit-enhancing rather than superficial pampering, and ongoing life-coaching rather than a one-time appointment.

Our Stress-reducing, Anti-aging Skin Treatment program combines the ambience of our healing location in Agua Serena Spa with aromatherapy, hot stones, and dermal planing-the most effective and safest exfoliating skin treatment available today. At the conclusion of the 90 minute appointment Doc Foxx counsels patients in supplements and stress management techniques including pranayama breathing that lowers the blood pressure and slows the pulse.

Research has shown that patients who take the time to care for their skin are more apt to work out, eat right, and take supplements. They have even been shown to live longer.

While we cannot promise that regular skin treatments will prolong life, we are certain the environment in which we practice and the programs we offer are conducive to peace of mind and reduction of stress.

The charge for our Stress-reducing, Anti-aging Skin Treatment program is $150 but we are offering it to our loyal Indian Wells supporters at $120.

The Medical Skin Spa is a state-of-the-art medical skin clinic located at Hyatt Grand Champions in Indian Wells. Their phone number is 760-674-4106. You may visit their website at www.medicalandskinspa.com. They are open Tuesday through Saturday.

  8. You need to make sure that you moisturize your skin so that your chances for wrinkles are lower at a young age. As we get older you will definitely get wrinkles. The only thing that we can do is to try and slow down the process and minimize the damage.

  9. What template are you running on this site ? I really like it. Could you post where you got it from ?
