I still remember our family Christmas picture from when I was 12 years old. The top of my head was even with my 5’6” mother’s chin. Just 9 months later on my first day of 8th-grade football practice for Mountain Valley Middle in Satler, TX; I was 5’10”, 170lbs. A growth spurt so wicked, I today have a marble-sized knob on my knee from Osgood-Schlatter’s. I also have stretch marks so gnarly on my shoulders that I look like I was attacked by the Bear roaming through Fallston.
Anyone else in the same boat as me have stretch marks maybe after kids or after weight loss? Ya’ll remember a few weeks back I talked about a Lipo Laser? How it harnessed the energy from the light wave to stimulate lipolysis (melt fat)? Something else cool about that laser is it’s a dual wave. Meaning we can tune it from fat loss to an aesthetic setting. This stimulates collagen production and smoothing. It can be used to reduce cellulite, tighten skin, lessen the appearance of scars… AND remove stretch marks!
Next time you catch me at the beach, I’ll have the shoulders of an 18-year-old again. If you want to learn more, or for a FREE demo, give us a shout.

Diet is a four-letter word. No one really WANTS to do a diet. But sometimes diets and exercise are not as successful as we would like. Most of us, no matter how good of shape we’re in, have a stubborn little area we’d rather not. It’s not your fault, well it is, but it isn’t.
In theory, weight loss is easy. To lose fat and weight, we need to be in a calorie deficit and essentially burn more than we eat/drink. We can control that, but what we can’t control really is what fat and from where it gets burned.
It’d sure be nice though if there was a way to make the body use up some butt and gut. Well, there is. It’s the Invisa Red laser system.
As we all learned from Dr. Evil, a laser is a sophisticated heating device. With all due respect to the Austin Powers universe, a laser is actually a light-emitting device. Light travels in waves, waves are energy. These laser wavelengths supercharge the metabolism and stimulate the fat cells to open and release intra-cellular fat. Fat cells have a better memory than an elephant so you get betters results if you are also watching what you eat and exercising.
Our Invisa Red laser is ready to go. It’s an all-inclusive protocol with proven results. As you all know we use the products we offer and some of our staff are currently in the weight loss program. Results and details are coming soon. Appointments are now available.

Summer is here finally. I always think why is Spring so cold this year and then I remember it’s Maryland and spring is cold every year.
My message for Summer is BE SMART!
Theme Parks: This is NOT the time to wear flip-flops (wait for the surprise twist towards the end). When spending the entire day at a theme park chose footwear that is comfortable but also supportive. I do recommend real tennis shoes. Ol’ Chuck Taylor’s and Vans are not real tennis shoes. I also recommend a visit with us after a visit to the theme park. The physics behind roller coasters that make them fun can also cause neck injuries. If your neck or back hurt after riding a roller coaster you may have whiplash. This occurs when the neck is forcibly bent from front to back or vice versa in rapid succession putting the cervical spine through intense stress and can create injuries to the neck’s tendons and ligaments.
Sun Screen: Don’t forget the sunscreen. No more explanation needed you all know to protect your skin.
Diet & Exercise: Exercise is one of those things that you should not just jump in head first. If you have not exercised all winter or for a few winters don’t hit the gym hard and heavy like you are 20 years old. Cardio, yoga, Pilates, and weight training are all good ideas. With yoga and Pilates remember that flexibility takes time. Cardio is wonderful for heart health, bone health, and overall health. Walking is better than nothing and stair machines are also a great option. When weight training remember that technique is key. Watch your body positions and start with lower weights and build up.
Flip Flops: As a general rule, flip flops are not recommended for any length of time as most do not have any support for your feet & body. It wasn’t actually till the late 1980s that Dr. Lee (The oldest of 3 brothers born in 3 years and 3rd of 8 boy cousins all within 4 years) knew flip flops weren’t for anything other than a weapon of m-less mass destruction. And never really thought of them as acceptable footwear. However, here’s the twist, Dr. Martin was able to find a sturdy, supportive sandal that Dr. Lee doesn’t abjectly hate. You can catch her and our staff sporting them on Flip-Flop Friday. They’re typically distributed through a doctor’s office, and we picked up a lot of them and will start selling them in June. Come in or message us if you are interested.
We have new services coming soon so watch for those messages!
