2010-08-25 18:28:04 - Comprehensive botox training, hCG and medical weight loss education and business plan development are the foundations of a successful medical spa launch. To provide the practical clinical and business training needed to open a medispa or integrate medical aesthetics into an existing practice, the IAPAM offers the industry's most comprehensive Aesthetic Medicine Education Programs for new medspa physicians.

RealSelf's Consumer Cosmetic Treatment Survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, reported that, "if money were not an issue," 69% of adults would seek out minimally invasive procedures. This was an increase over 2009 reports, by 14%. Of the treatments that adults would entertain, teeth whitening was at the top of the list (48%), followed by hair removal (27%), cellulite treatments (14%), Therefore, given this growth in the accessibility and acceptance of aesthetic medicine procedures, it is very important that physicians understand: “what is working” and “what is not” in their practices, in order to have a successful and profitable medical spa. Through membership and training with the IAPAM (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine), physicians are provided with insights from the top experts in the field of aesthetic medicine detailing their keys to launching and growing successful aesthetic medical practices. The following recommendations provide physicians with a proven blueprint for success: build one's successful practice upon a solid foundation or strong business plan, incorporate industry best practices into each element of the operation of the business from staffing to marketing to customer service, and always keep an eye on the future trends of the industry and the specific needs of one's patients and directions of one's market. Ultimately, the IAPAM's suite of training programs offer the best "value for money" in the areas of both clinical and business training, tailored to capture the growing market for minimally invasive anti-aging procedures. For more information on how to become a member of the IAPAM, or to register for an upcoming training program, please contact Lynn, the IAPAM's Membership Coordinator, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 703, info@iapam.com or visit www.iapam.com . The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine is a voluntary association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession. The goal of the association is to offer education, ethical standards, credentialing, and member benefits. IAPAM membership is open to all licensed medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs).

WHEN Britney Spears asked for shots of her taken for a recent ad campaign to be released unairbrushed, the cellulite dimples were plain to see.

Yes, it's a curse even the stars can't escape. A whopping 90 per cent of us suffer from the dreaded "orange peel" and the market in products to combat it is worth an incredible �56million a year.

With hundreds of treatments, creams and miracle undies to choose from it's hard to know which to plump for.

So, LAUREN NAYLOR asked Liveit readers to test six products for six weeks and mark them out of ten.

We feature photographs of their bums and thighs before and after.

THE admin assistant from Brockley, east London, tested our Liveit Fit Squad cellulite diet and exercise plan.

CLAIM: You can improve cellulite in six weeks with a new diet and exercise regime. Peggy began with a minimum of two-and-a-half hours of aerobic exercise a week and swam for half an hour once a week.

Get yourself a good cellulite treatment in gel or cream form. It should contain caffeine for the best outcome.

2. Cut out the carbonation and caffeine in your diet. These are thought to contribute to the appearance and severity of cellulite.

3. EXERCISE! Moderate exercise is important, since one of cellulite’s biggest enemies is good circulation, and circulation is always much better in active people. Experiment: Have you noticed you bruise much more easily in the same areas you have cellulite? Try vigorously kneading the effected area – you will probably notice some bruising the next day. It’s a medical fact that people bruise more easily in areas where there is impaired circulation. These are the precise areas where most women get cellulite!

4. Massage your problem areas with your cream or gel – and don’t be too gentle. Make sure the massage is vigorous and fairly high pressure. This will adequately stimulate the circulation in your problem areas, and help break up the fat deposits and collagen bands holding those fat deposits together, effectively minimizing your trouble areas.
