With the new Coronavirus requiring us all to socially isolate in effort to prevent the spread of infection, we are facing cancellations and disruptions of our normal routines. However troubling, the more vigilant we all are with these efforts, the better for everyone. It’s not easy to say the least, but despite the uncertainties, you can count on CB Skin Secrets to have your best health interests in mind!

I am voluntarily blocking out the schedule for any more appointments to be scheduled indefinitely until the heightened risk of transmission is passed. I urge you to follow the current CDC and local health department recommendations to avoid any unnecessary ventures out. Take heart in knowing this is not done in vain or out of an irrational fear. Slowing and limiting the spread will allow safer and better management for all involved; we KNOW that it works.

If you already have an appointment set in the next week or two and would like to postpone, please reach out to me by voicemail or text 402-915-2756 or email dr.stacey@cbskinsecrets.com. I will be attempting to contact you as well.

On the bright side, I have some GOOD NEWS! The first 20 people to contact me can get a $100 virtual gift card towards Jeuveau treatment (the modern version of botox) within the next 6 months! You MUST hurry though, the gift cards expire March 31, 2020! Please, ONLY contact me if you plan to proceed with Jeuveau treatment (no cash value towards other products or services), see http://www.jeuveau.com for more information. Actual treatment can wait but this offer can’t!

More GOOD NEWS! I CAN still help you with great skincare product orders for shipment or arranged pick up! The Colorescience 25% off sale on purchases of $100 or more is March 24-30, 2020! Also, I have Latisse $20 OFF, Obagi and all other products 20% OFF!

I will continue to respond to inquiries via text, VM, email, facebook and may follow the trend in video consults for those with face time or skype capabilities as well! More to come on that soon!

Take care! Come see me, virtually!

For any of my past, current or future patients, I hope you know I prioritize your health and safety (as well as that of my family and my own). As the COVID-19 epidemic unfolds, CB Skin Secrets remains open with visits by appointment as normal. I will continue to monitor and respect recommendations from the CDC or other regulatory agencies and will post and make best efforts to contact patients directly if any cancellations or postponements are needed.

Of course, if you or a close contact are symptomatic with fever, upper respiratory illness or any other potentially contagious condition, please contact me and we will adjust the timing of your visit accordingly. I have never penalized patients for making even last minute changes but I certainly appreciate any notice you can give. I would much prefer we reschedule than take chances with spreading illness.

In general, I encourage you to wash hands thoroughly and frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20seconds. Use lotion often to prevent cracked and dry skin, especially if hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol is used as an alternative.

Avoiding large groups or people with compromised immunity especially if you or a close contact are symptomatic is best.

Get extra sleep, 7 hrs is the minimum for most people but you likely know how much you need to feel good. Shoot for a bit more sleep, your health may depend on it!

Make time to meditate, stretch or relax quietly for at least 5-15minutes a day. You deserve that!

Eat a variety of real, unprocessed food (more vegetables, fresh or frozen fruit, grass fed and pasture raised meat and dairy (although less dairy may be a good idea).

Avoid sugar or artificial sweeteners especially those with high fructose amounts. Stevia or coconut sugar are acceptable in moderation. Unbleached cane sugar is better than honey or white sugar. Look up lists for low glycemic foods. These cause fewer dramatic shifts in your blood sugar and help stop cravings and food binge urges. Really!!

Along those lines, limit grains and flour. You don’t have to go full keto, paleo or gluten free but less GMO exposure and less inflammatory foods is a good practice. Carbs are basically linked sugars. Fuel your body wisely!

NO trans fats (avoid ALL hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils).

Moderate caffeine intake is ok but at least 70-100oz of actual drinking water daily is very important!

While on the subject of general health (and since I’m already feeling preachy), wear at least SPF 30 daily! Reapplication every 2-3 hours as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology, is encouraged. At least applying the highest quality agents, like the all mineral, multifunctional products with optimized ingredients from Colorescience every day is a great start. Since reapplication is made easy using your Sunforgettable brush, you can better protect your skin and health while looking and feeling great with less hassle than you think!

Note that NO ONE is recommending wearing a face mask for the general public. Covering your coughs and sneezes IS a MUST with immediate and thorough hand cleansing, just like you do after using the bathroom or before making food, after contact with animals or frequently touched surfaces. Health care providers or those with symptoms will need the masks however.

Here is an article written by Dr Terry Wahls with some more details and advice for staying healthy including some supplements she recommends.

Let’s all stay positive, stay proactive and stay healthy! Let me know how I can help!

CB Skin Secrets Trifecta Event (Open House)

Friday October 11, 2019 from 4-6pm

Harvester Artspace Gallery

1000 S. Main Street, take the stairs or ramp off 10th Avenue in Council Bluffs, Iowa

Why not wind up your week with some fun, food and feminine wellness! (Men aren’t exactly forbidden but fair warning, one of the 3 things featured for discussion will be thermiVa, the radio frequency no downtime treatment for quickly and comfortably reducing symptoms of vaginal dryness, laxity and discomfort as well as urinary leakage).

Treatments and products in focus for this Event are 3 fold, a Trifecta, if you will! (…and in case anyone is worried…there will NOT be any live demos or volunteer requirements! Just show up, relax and take in some inspiration for self care! You DO get a FREE Colorescience Eye Treatment AND an array of great samples and even some FULL size products!)

1. Colorescience: Products for color correction, concealing and protecting with all Mineral spf proven to be magnitudes more effective at actually protecting you from sun and environmental skin damage than other “leading” brands. With their reward program (which I will manage for you) get up to $50 Instant Rebate! Look great today and get healthier skin for tomorrow!

2. Jeuveau: Hello, Jeuveau! aka “Newtox”, the latest neurotoxin to attain FDA approval in treatment of frown lines between the brows! Consider it a 3rd generation botox for a natural, less stressed, more rested look! Did I forget to mention it costs less?!

3. Last but certainly not least, thermiVa! Hear actual patient testimonials of their treatment experience and results. You don’t have to just keep putting up with the frustration of vaginal atrophy symptoms or bladder leakage. Reclaim your confidence!

Need more enticement? Wine, snacks and some great deserts will be served. A swag bag of samples, metal water bottles, shirts and travel bags for attendees while supplies last!

Anyone making a Qualifying purchase or booking an appointment will get 3 entries for selected FREE Colorescience products valued up to $275, a FREE Jeuveau glabella (aka frown line, 11’s or lower brow lift) injection (valued at $297) or a FREE thermiVa treatment (single treatment session valued at $1100).

Can’t make it to the event but want a shot at the prizes? You guessed it, there are 3 ways to get an entry prior to the event. Just purchase (by appointment or with shipment) any Colorescience products with total of $300 or more, a Jeuveau injection of at least $297 or start thermiVa. Either way, your purchase INCLUDES a FREE Colorescience AntiAging Serum (value $150), PLUS an entry for a prize (thermiVa purchase will give you an extra drawing entry)!

Drawing will take place the weekend of October 11, 2019 and winners will be notified by email. Prizes will be awarded after completing the qualifying purchase.

One winner per prize and one prize per winner so 3 great prizes to 3 lucky ladies and ALL those pre purchasing or attending get valuable free product! That’s what I call a Trifecta!
