With
so many salons, spas and skin centers offering a variety
of tretments and services these days, it becomes difficult
to differentiate between the truly high quality, state
of the art, medically based treatments and the quick
'n' easy approaches.
CHF spoke to Donald J. Sudy, MD, the Medical Director
for ReGenesis Medical Spa, where personalized medical
procedures are administered in an atmosphere that provides
the perfect balanc between luxury, relaxation, medicine
and the art of aesthetics. Dr. Sudy is Board Certified
and an active member of the American Society of Laser
Medicine and Surgery, american Academy of Aesthetic
Medicine as well as the American College of Emergency
Medicine.
How
did ReGenesis Medical Spa come to be?
The
concept of ReGenesis grew from my preventative medicine
background while in the Air Force and my experiences
in the Emergency Department caring for patients who
had significantly advanced medical conditions for their
age. Most were a result of poor lifestyle choices such
as smoking and diet. I also was struck by how many patients
had no knowledge of how lifestyle choices impacted their
medical condition. I began to search for a way I could
improve patients' health and wellness without being
restricted by insurance and managed care. The marriage
of aesthetics and wellness in a serene, tranquil, pampering
spa-like setting seemed to be that natural outgrowth.
What
makes ReGenesis unique?
Three
things. First and foremost, a physician is always on
site and intimately involved with the evaluation, treatment
and follow up of our clients and a physician (myself)
performs all laser procedures, Botox and Restylane injection
procedures, as well as medium depth chemical peels (such
as TCA peels). Secondly, our focus is exclusively on
minimal downtime, non-surgical aesthetics, rather than
as sideline to a medical practice or day spa. And third,
we are in the process of launching additional wellnes
services such as chiropractic, nutrition, and fitness
services, all of which are complimentary to our cosmetic
practice and focus on whole body beauty and wellness.
Who
is your typical client?
The
majority of our clients are females in their late 30's
to 50's who are seeking to restore skin health and rejuvenate
their skin and body. Many have had significant sun exposure
over the years causing them to appear older than are
are or feel. We are seeing a slow but steady growth
in the male market as well, probably for two reasons:
the more main stream acceptance of cosmetic procedures
and the minimal down time which allows our clients to
continue with their busy work and social schedules.
Tell
us about some of the services at ReGenesis.
Currently,
our biggest draw is the aesthetic practice. We offer
treatment procedures and programs to restore skin health
and rejuvenation. Often, this is not just one procedure
or treatment, but rather a multimodality program which
incorporates education, home care, and in office procedures
ranging from laser skin rejuvenation to reverse skin
damage and Botox and soft tissue fillers to restore
the youthful look.
What
could a "New" person expect?
From
the moment a new client walks in the door, they are
made to feel very welcomed. The staff at ReGenesis is
focused on that one client, ensuring that their visit
with us is not just a procedure, but rather an experience.
Our relationship starts with a detailed consultation
to determine their concerns and goals, as well as the
best way to achieve these goals. We really focus on
client education so they can make truly informed decisions.
A medical screening evaluation is also performed to
ensure there aren't medical conditions that may impact
our treatments. And finally, we work with the client's
needs and budget to develop a treatment plan, which
we periodically review to make sure we are achieving
the desired results.
What
is your personal/professional philosophy or motivation?
My
belief is that clients should be treated as if they
are the only one and that no treatment is done or even
recommended without a legitimate reason. I challenge
my staff, and myself, to make each day better than the
previous - to have a thirst for becoming the best we
can be. Underneath it all, my motiviation is to help
people age well, aesthetically as well as physically
so we may enjoy our later years in better health and
with better self-esteem.
