Tuesday, January 13th, 2015


Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 18, 2014

The South Florida community is poised once again to show its support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) – the nation’s largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to funding innovative lymphoma research and serving the lymphoma community through a comprehensive series of education programs, outreach initiatives and patient services – by hosting its Ninth Annual Fashion Luncheon in Boca Raton on Monday, February 2, 2015. This year, LRF is proud to partner with Neiman Marcus Boca Raton, whose new General Manager has made the relationship a priority for the high-end retailer.

“We could not be more thrilled to once again partner with the Lymphoma Research Foundation for its annual Luncheon,” said Leslie Johasky, Vice President/General Manager of Neiman Marcus Boca Raton. “This event has developed such a wonderful reputation in the South Florida community, and Neiman Marcus Boca Raton is proud to be involved with such a wonderful day for such a good cause.”

Each year, more than 5,000 Floridians are diagnosed with lymphoma – the most common form of blood cancer. The Luncheon has raised more than $ 1.1 million to-date in support of the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by the disease.

“It’s really incredible to see the social community in South Florida galvanized around the Lymphoma Research Foundation year after year,” said Gladys Cook, founding co-chair of the luncheon. “This year in particular, however, we are seeing the community, led by the Neiman Marcus management, reaffirm its commitment to LRF in a truly amazing way.”

Under the leadership of co-chairs Judy Bronsteen, Gladys Cook, Toby Cooperman, Elisabeth Dalfen, Joan Hauser, and Mitzi Oreman, the South Florida Fashion Luncheon looks to continue in its tradition of connecting the elites of the South Florida philanthropic community with LRF, raising critical funds for new research programs. The afternoon’s luncheon will be anchored not only by the Neiman Marcus fashion show, but also by a keynote from leading oncologist Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., Director, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Professor of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.

All those interested are invited to attend one of South Florida’s premier social events, which begins at 10:30 am at St. Andrews Country Club. Individual tickets for the luncheon start at $ 125 each.

Saturday, January 10th, 2015


Secaucus, NJ (PRWEB) December 29, 2014

Redness, irritation, and premature re-growth – no more! Repêchage Professional Skin Care brings you The Gold Standard of depilation – Repêchage SeaSmooth Artisan Seaweed Wax!

My goal was to create a wax that not only beautifully removes hair, but also helps to prevent and alleviate common sides effects on the skin associated with waxing,” said Lydia Sarfati, Repêchage CEO & Founder.

2014 Holiday Spending to Gro-ho-ho: IBISWorld’s Annual Release Has Been Updated

Thursday, January 8th, 2015


New York, NY (PRWEB) December 17, 2014

Rising consumer confidence and lower unemployment are likely to bring out the holiday spirit in economically conscious shoppers this snowy season. IBISWolrd projects that total revenue generated by holiday spending in December will increase 2.0% this year, totaling $ 70.9 billion, This is a sharp contrast to 2013, when a shortened holiday calendar, early Thanksgiving and October government shutdown dampened consumer confidence and spending.

However, before dashing through the snow for the best deals, lackluster sales over the Thanksgiving holiday suggested that retailers might be in for a slightly slower season than expected. Business efforts to push promotions and discounts earlier this year may backfire, as internet and mobile shopping reduces the need to rush out and find good offers early. More consumers will check prices online and shop for the best bargain, leaving retailers to compete with one another by lowering their prices. Overall, despite improving economic conditions, competitive pricing and savvy customers will keep sales from breaking records.

Gifts

Gifts represent the single-largest expenditure during the holidays, generating 77.2% of total revenue. In 2014, IBISWorld forecasts this category to grow 1.8% to $ 54.8 billion. Although the economic climate has trended upward since the recession, consumers are likely to continue to hold back on extravagant gifting. According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Andy Brennan, “purchases of gifts, including electronics, toys, clothing and personal care and cosmetic items, are expected to rise higher than their disappointing levels in 2013, but retailers should not expect dramatic increases.” Similar to last year, well-timed releases of new video games, consoles, tablets and smartphones will help drive growth for the electronic category, which is anticipated to increase by 2.1% from 2013 levels. Personal care and cosmetics are also expected to see an increase, as consumers take advantage of flexible online shopping options and promotions. Sales of cosmetics are forecast to increase by 3.3% to $ 5.7 billion this year. Toys and clothing are also anticipated to increase, by 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively. However, heavy discounting will stifle growth in these two categories, as consumers scour the internet for better deals. Meanwhile, jewelry sales and gift cards are forecast to demonstrate less-spectacular growth this year. Consequently, both categories are anticipated to increase by only 0.2% over 2014.

Food

Revenue generated from food and alcohol purchases is expected to grow at a slightly faster rate than total holiday revenue this year, increasing 2.3% to $ 6.3 billion. “Food prices have outpaced the overall rate of consumer prices in 2014 due to rising farming and transportation costs and higher global demand,” says Brennan. However, the recent decline in the world price of crude oil will enable more long distance travel and allow consumers to spend the holidays with family and friends.

Decorations and cards

Total spending on decorations is projected to rise 4.3% this year to $ 6.5 billion. Seasonal winter decorations, including wreaths, ornaments, nativity sets and nutcrackers, account for nearly two-thirds of total annual decorations spending. Although the number of consumers celebrating holidays during this time of year has declined slightly over the past five years, the average amount spent per person has increased steadily as consumers have opted to decorate earlier. Selling seasonal decorations is now a big business, as the holiday season has become increasingly commercialized. Spending on greeting cards, on the other hand, is anticipated to decline in 2014.

Dr. Kevin Sadati Announces That His Two Year Survey Shows Increased Patient Demand in Natural-Looking Facial Plastic Surgery Results

Wednesday, December 31st, 2014


Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2014

There have always been people who have opted to have cosmetic surgery in order to improve their appearance, look younger and boost their self-confidence. Previously, many people wanted to transform their look, but now there is a new trend. Dr. Kevin Sadati announces that natural-looking facial plastic surgery procedures have become the most desired options for cosmetic surgery patients today.

“Natural-looking plastic surgery allows patients to improve their appearance but simply look like refreshed, younger versions of themselves. With natural-looking cosmetic surgery results patients do not look like they had surgical procedures or like someone else afterwards,” explains Dr. Kevin Sadati, top facial plastic surgeon in Orange County.

What Natural-Looking Cosmetic Surgery Procedures are The Most Popular This Season?

Natural Looking Facelift – Dr. Kevin Sadati’s natural looking facelift, often referred to as the Natural Lift, utilizes his self-developed facial muscle tightening technique known as a Double C-Plication. Using this technique Dr. Kevin Sadati performs his natural looking facelifts in-office, under local anesthesia and twilight sedation. This superior facelift is the ideal choice for patients who want to avoid general anesthesia. Facelift patients can now look younger with long lasting, natural-looking results.

Neck Lift – A neck lift is an ideal procedure for patients who are just beginning to show the first signs of aging and are not ready for a full lower face and neck lift. This cosmetic surgery procedure eliminates excess skin and the neck area providing patients with a natural, youthful post plastic surgery result. Dr. Kevin Sadati performs his neck lifts in-office, under local anesthesia and twilight sedation. Neck lift recovery time is both easier and shorter since the patient doesn’t have to under go general anesthesia.

Blepharoplasty– Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a very popular procedure for Dr. Kevin Sadati’s patients. Easily performed in-office, under local anesthesia and oral sedation. Blepharoplasty results allow patients to look refreshed and like younger version of them. A patient’s tired eyes now look full of life again and under eye bags are removed. Many patients of Dr. Kevin Sadati’s choose to add this minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure on to their facelift.

“I have devoted my practice to natural-looking, minimally invasive in-office cosmetic surgery procedures for my patients and in today’s day and age this is what people are looking for. An in-office survey that I performed showed that patients want non-surgical looking results in their plastic surgery. Patients want to look younger, get rid of fine lines and wrinkles and return that youthful glow they once had,” explain Dr. Kevin Sadati, Newport Beach facial plastic surgeon.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about Dr. Kevin Sadati’s natural looking facial plastic surgery results and how they can be performed in-office, under local anesthesia and oral sedation, should contact his office today for an individualized plan.

Dr. Timothy S. Davis Expands Patient Base in South Florida, Provides More Patients Access to Minimally Invasive Laser Gum Surgery

Monday, December 29th, 2014


Naples, FL (PRWEB) December 15, 2014

Periodontist Dr. Timothy S. Davis continues to expand his patient base in order to provide patients throughout South Florida with easier access to a minimally invasive alternative for treating gum disease. The LANAP® protocol employs sophisticated laser technology to reduce periodontal infection without cutting or suturing.

Dr. Davis belongs to a select group of dental professionals who have completed the training required to perform LANAP®. Since only one percent of dentists in the country currently offer the procedure, many people do not live in close proximity to a LANAP® certified provider. Although Dr. Davis still provides traditional periodontal disease treatments like scaling and root planing as well as osseous surgery, he has found LANAP® to be more comprehensive in nature during the four years he has performed the procedure. Because of the laser’s ability to target and vaporize only the diseased tissue and bacteria, Dr. Davis is able to preserve more of the soft tissue and bone while eliminating/minimizing the bacterial load.

While laser gum surgery achieves similar results to flap and osseous surgery, LANAP® offers several advantages over those traditional procedures. Since the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require incisions or sutures, patients experience significantly less pain, bleeding, and swelling. Unlike traditional surgery, which can create recession, a laser gum surgery procedure does not result in gum recession. In addition to increased sensitivity, receding gums also pose a cosmetic concern due to the lowered gum line.

In order to determine a patient’s eligibility for LANAP®, Dr. Davis first conducts a comprehensive examination and reviews all treatment options and their accompanying pros and cons. Dr. Davis bases his recommendation on the unique needs of each individual. In some cases, patients may be medically compromised and their primary care physician has advised against invasive surgery that would require them to discontinue medications like blood thinners. Some patients have multiple units of crown and bridgework and do not want to risk exposing the crown margins with the recession most often associated with flap and osseous surgery. For others, the issue might be the fear of pain surrounding an invasive procedure like traditional osseous surgery. Dr. Davis takes all these concerns into consideration when evaluating a patient’s candidacy for laser gum surgery.

As periodontal disease reaches epidemic proportions in the United States and increasingly more evidence reveals a correlation between periodontitis and systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, patient education is more critical than ever before. Periodontal therapy not only improves gingival health, but can improve the patient’s systemic health.

According to Dr. Davis, dental professionals need to be prepared to address patient concerns and provide them with information about all the treatment options available, including laser gum surgery.

Clinical research supporting the benefits of laser gum surgery and the LANAP® protocol continues to mount. Although each patient is different, Dr. Davis has found that his results confirm the findings in Dr. Marc Nevins’s study, A Prospective 9-Month Human Clinical Evaluation of Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) Therapy, which reported evidence of bone regeneration and new connective attachment after six months utilizing the LANAP® protocol.

For more information about LANAP® and other periodontal procedures, please call 239-330-4996 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Davis.

About the Doctor

Dr. Timothy S. Davis has been practicing periodontics in Naples, FL since 1989. Dr. Davis specializes in periodontal diagnosis and treatment, laser periodontal treatment (LANAP), dental implants, and cosmetic and regenerative periodontal surgery. He has extensive training and experience in all aspects of periodontal treatment. Dr. Davis graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Dentistry. He completed his General Practice Residency at Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, CO and completed his specialty training in Periodontics at Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans. Dr. Davis received the honor of being selected for “topDENTISTS” in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He was chosen by other dental professionals based on years of experience, education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technology, and actual physical results. Dr. Davis is in the one percentile of dental professionals providing the most recent FDA cleared laser procedure (LANAP) for gum disease and periodontal treatment. To learn more about Timothy S. Davis, DDS, PA, and his periodontal services, visit his website at http://www.naplesperiodontist.com and call 239-330-4996.
