http://hairremoval24.blogspot.com/2010/09/soprano-xl-how-it-works-alma-lasers.html

Have a look at one of the finer videos we've seen describing the nuances of Soprano XL Virtually Painless

Super Laser Hair Removal procedure.  All skin types are safely and effectively treated, although the number 

of necessary treatments can depend on skin type. (in general, darker skin types with thicker hair require more treatments) 

Our experts can design a treatment package best suited to your individual needs.  

Generally, if multiple body areas require treatment, (for example, lip/chin/underarms/legs/bikini) they can be combined 

together for a significant discount and all done on the same day each of the 5-8 times you may need to repeat treatment 

(all of those combined areas could be done in a little over an hour!). And, don't forget it works phenomenally well on your 

co-pilot, Chewbacca, as well...Get his back/abs/arms and chest (done in a little over an hour, to boot) out of the stone age

and back to something he can be proud of again!

Save time, money, and lots of aggravation in the future and give yourself or someone you love the gift that keeps on giving!

"Talk amongst yourselves" on these hot topics

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/09/20/the-real-truth-about-the-top-10-health-myths.aspx

12 Medical Myths Even Most Doctors Believe…"Discuss"

We really enjoy getting to the heart of your concerns when it comes to health and wellness.  It's not uncommon 

to spend most of our day exchanging ideas and debunking common medical misconceptions held as "gospel"

by a large majority of people.  They have invariably been conditioned to think a certain way based on repetition 

from less than "credible" sources on popular TV shows and magazines. (even ones that feature prominent medical 

contributors as "authorities", who often wind up serving as unofficial pithcmen for the food or drug industry at large)

In light of the relentless increases in major diseases the past few decades, (heart disease, cancer of all kinds, diabetes, 

COPD, stroke, all manner of autoimmune disorders, etc) it's clear some of these significant areas of misinformation 

need exposure and dismissal.  Furthermore, better alternatives are available and we would love to present those to you

 when you visit us @ Madsen Medical Spa.  Call us today to get started @ 425-656-8008!

When nothing else has worked, it's time to come see us!

http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=123657

www.hcgdietinstructions.com

Thousands of patients have seen unprecedented success with our hCG diet program, which also features comprehensive nutritional

support and education to help you quickly and safely (and potentially permanently) reach your weight loss and wellness goals.  

Most people who visit Madsen Medical Spahave tried countless times to conquer their extra weight and body fat, with only limited

 or sometimes no results.  One thing is almost certain,no matter what they have tried ultimately comes up short, as they invariably

"find" the weight they thought they had "lost"! (and then some)

For better or worse, many people pay close attention to celebrity "scuttlebutt", what's "hot" and undoubtedly "what's not"...one thing's 

for sure, if you want to have structure, restore discipline, tame ravenous cravings, and generally always be "red carpet ready", you need

to learn more about the hCG diet and what it can do for you (i.e. " unlock stored fat deposits, flooding the bloodstream with 2,000 to 4,000

 calories per day. This allows the dieter to consume a mere 500 calories per day with little to no discomfort while burning away unwanted fat...")

As has already been stated, "The HCG diet has been proven effective by celebrities and regular people alike for over 50 years. It’s no celebrity fad, 

even though it has only recently become popular in clinics and online. Thousands of people have experienced the success of using HCG for weight loss."

Why not YOU?  Give us call today and let us help you get started in rediscovering you at your best!  425-656-8008

You don't have to hide it anymore (get rid of it)...your regrettable tattoo that is!

http://www.livestrong.com/article/247062-new-techniques-to-remove-a-tattoo/

Now, we offer a very effective "Q-Switch" laser (short, quick pulses) here @ Madsen Medical Spa  that can eliminate your

tattoo in around 6-8 sessions. (once every 6-8 weeks, depending on the size of the tattoo)  As with laser hair removal, dark colors 

(black, dark blue, dark purple, dark red, etc) usually respond the best.  And, it won't hurt worse having it removed than inking it on 

in the first place ('worse than childbirth' for some?)Whether there's a new significant other you'd rather pay visual tribute to, or you're 

not into Harley choppers anymore, or even if you've simply given up on finding that unicorn at the end of your rainbow, it's time to part

ways with that "played out" tattoo you were once so proud of!  Come on in for a free consultation and we can discuss the pristine 

restoration and beauty of your personal "canvas" today!  425-656-8008 or toll free 866-4WT-LOSS!

all the sun damage you've accumulated over the past several months (perhaps years, or even decades) in a matter of weeks! Follow the link above to get more

 flashes and stage lights to make you look young! (one of the dirty, little secrets of Hollywood, by the way)  Instead, look YEARS younger, quickly and naturally, with 

a photofacial today!  Set up your free consultation with us @ Madsen Medical Spa-425-656-8008

Don't we just "love" those darn celebrities

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5792444/videos_kim_kardashian_gets_botox_injections.html

At least they can be very adept at showing us what not to do, or at least, in this case, how not to do it!

It seems Kim Kardashian had a less than ideal experience with botox recently and decided to chronicle the event on her family's reality show.

What wasn't made clear was the reality that bruising like she had is quite rare and the shock value of showing her puffy eyes afterward

will no doubt keep many people from ever doing the procedure.  

It has to be stated that many of these unpleasant results are often practitioner error (i.e. wrong amount of botox, improper product dilution, 

imprecise injection location, dull needle from plunging it through the rubber stopper on the botox bottle before injecting into the patient, etc.)

 and shouldn't be seen as an indictment of the procedure that actually has significant aesthetic and therapeutic merit!  And as far as "waiting until

 I'm at least 40" to do it again, why not get out ahead of wrinkles and fine lines before they become potential "canyons" later?

Just like many other areas of anti-aging therapies, "an ounce of prevention really is a worth a pound of cure".  Come to Madsen Medical Spa and take comfort 

in our expertise and experience when it comes to delivering consistently excellent results! ...and you won't need to be as "loaded" as the Kardashian's to afford it either!

Vitamin D positively influences nearly 1 in 8 genes in your body

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/09/06/vitamin-d-linked-to-cancer-and-autoimmune-disease-genes.aspx

With this staggering ratio (Vitamin D plays a key role in activating/protecting and/or "up-regulating" nearly 3,000 of the body's 25,000 genes) being more clearly understood and accepted,

 the need for daily Vitamin D3 (w/ K2) supplementation, in a delicious, drinkable form you can actually absorb becomes more and more crucial to your overall health, including reducing

the risk of diabetes and many forms of cancer by around 50%!  Dr. Joseph Mercola has put out another poignant article about Vitamin D and its profound impact as a "pro-hormone", a substance

that essentially makes us stronger and healthier across the board. (In the article, note the extensive list of health problems unilaterally reduced by Vitamin D)  It's almost like a proverbial "master key"

 fitting into a huge number of locks to ignite wellness and heightened protection!  Note the part about how 2 mg of astaxanthin for a month (a powerful antioxidant found in tiny crustaceans called krill 

and an ingredient in some of our finest medical-grade skin care products) , you can be largely protected from sunburn.  Especially with the Northwest "climate challenges" in generating enough 

Vitamin D naturally everyday, we must supplement to fill the void!  Now, Madsen Medical Spa has a delicious, drinkable Vitamin D3 solution for you! (It's also formulated with Vitamin K2, 

also extremely important against cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc)

Can massage treat depression?

http://www.google.com/buzz/117632841384618994027/K3GAcVVXnJG/Can-massage-treat-depression-There-is-good

 Link to this post:
 http://www.google.com/buzz/117632841384618994027/K3GAcVVXnJG/Can-massage-treat-depression-There-is-good

 Can massage treat depression?

There is "good evidence to suggest that massage therapy is an effective treatment for depression."

This was the conclusion of Dr Hou Wen-Hsuan and his team from of I-Shou University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, after a recent review of 17 studies that involved over 700 participants.

In a report published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Dr Hou examined 13 trials which compared massage therapy to another active treatment such as relaxation exercises, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or rest, as well as four other trials which compared massage to a "no treatment" control group. The mood and severity of depression of the study participants were evaluated using a range of methods.

The researchers reported that massage therapy had "potentially significant effects" in alleviating symptoms of depression. This could be due to several reasons: massage can reduce stress and induce relaxation, and it also causes the body to release oxytocin, aka the "trust hormone". Higher levels of oxytocin are linked to lower anxiety levels, while relaxation has been shown to help reduce depressive symptoms.

"Lunchtime (non-surgical) Liquid Facelift"

http://scarsfix.com/painless-wrinkle-filler/

Sound crazy?  Well, think again, because Dr. Madsen has a wealth of experience with Botox and dermal fillers like Radiesse and Juvederm to help smooth lines

and restore youthful volume to the contours of your face.  This can erase years of aging, wear, and fatigue in little more than an hour.  Over time, the muscles

of the face are "re-educated" to relax, no longer causing the deep furrows you're used to seeing everyday!  Your face can begin to reflect light, (from the restored volume,

which creates beautiful convexity) which presents a cleaner, brighter, more refreshed appearance, rather than absorb light. (largely due to concavity of the cheeks, temples, jowl area, etc)

Come in to Madsen Medical Spa for a free consultation (425-656-8008 OR 866-498-5677) to discover what Dr. Madsen can help you achieve!  You'll be pleased and amazed at the possibilities.  

We have excellent promotional specials on the "Lunchtime Liquid Facelift", and we are happy to recommend medical-grade skin care systems and laser/ IPL (Intense Pulsed-Light) 

treatments to compliment the overall color, texture, tone and tightness of your skin, too! Total results...
