ry something new for date night, an afternoon with the kids, or the next team-building day at work with a unique experience at Dallas Silk Art. Create one-of-a-kind water marbled Habotai silk scarves, hats, shoes, and works of art ready to frame. Water marbling is the process of floating paints on an aqueous surface.

The floating paints are then swirled around using various tools, such as rakes or styluses (if desired), to create beautiful one-of-a-kind patterns and designs. This design is then permanently transferred onto a treated fabric which can then be used in many different ways.

Come in with pain, Walk out without it.

It’s that simple.

See if you’re a candidate for endoscopic spine surgery.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a technologically advanced, ultra-minimally invasive treatment for pain in the legs, buttock, and groin. If you are one of the many who deal with such pain, then this innovative procedure may provide a path to lasting relief – without the physical impact, lengthy recovery time, and significant scarring associated with traditional spine surgery. In fact, most patients are comfortably home within hours of surgery.

To find out if you’re a candidate, take our free online assessment or contact our patient navigator at 972-543-1250.

To learn more, visit: THCDS.com/Endoscopic-Spine-Surgery Or call 972-403-2843

Texas Health Center for Diagnostics & Surgery is a joint venture owned by Texas Health Resources and physicians dedicated to the community and meets the definition under federal law of physician-owned hospital. Physicians on the medical staff practice independently and are not employees or agents of the hospital.

Ewing Buick GMC JEFF GADEN | General Sales Manager Walk us through buying a car at Ewing GMC; what do you do differently to make it an easy, stress-free process? After the initial purchase, what sets the ownership experience apart from other dealerships?

We strive to impart the family values that the Ewing family has into our salespeople, which comes through when they interact with our guests at the dealership. I try to empower our salespeople to make quality decisions regarding our guests so that the 24 | ON magazine | Home 2021

sales process is as easy and seamless as possible, removing all the roadblocks to an easy transaction.

During their initial visit to the dealership, we make sure that they are given a tour and introduced to all of the staff members that will be maintaining their new vehicle in the months and years to come to make those future visits as easy and enjoyable as possible.

After the initial delivery, our staff is always available to help, whether in person at the store, over the phone, or at the client’s home if necessary, to make their new ownership experience second to none.

Why is there currently a vehicle shortage? Can you explain how Ewing GMC has adapted to the lack of inventory and growing demand? What are your predictions for the end of this historic shortage?

During the initial stages of the pandemic, manufacturers of all kinds scaled back their production of everything from TVs, cell phones, basically everything, including vehicles. As a result of that anticipated lower production, all the

people who make the parts for these things did as well. As it turns out, the demand for all things electronic went the opposite way, demand skyrocketed, and there simply were not enough parts to go around. It is amazing, but all the things that we use every day require tons of tiny silicone microchips to work, and everyone told the chip manufacturers not to make any because of the pandemic. By the time we realized we were wrong, it was too late. These chips only come from a few places, and they have ramped up production, but it is a bit like turning the Titanic; it doesn’t turn on a dime.

GM is doing its best to shift production to vehicles that have been the most indemand while scaling back production on slower-moving models to focus on Yukon

The Next Generation 2021 Yukon Denali is a step above in every way with the premium appointments, advanced technology, and the high level of capability expected from a modern GMC. More capable than ever before with bigger, bolder exterior design, fine craftsmanship, and refined interior finishings that combine seamlessly with advanced technology to create a truly first-class driving experience. With 66% more rear cargo space and 10 inches more third-row legroom than in previous models, the new Yukon Denali maximizes comfort. Cutting edge safety technology, including a diagonal Heads-Up Display that projects customizable vehicle information on the windshield and class-leading nine camera views to help maneuver any surrounding make the 2021 Yukon Denali the safest yet.

and Sierra, which we sell the most of by far.

We have shifted to selling on an order or inbound basis; we are getting requests from our customers and doing our best to match up inbound units with the demand.

GM has provided a very accurate tracking tool to inform our customers of real-time tracking on their new vehicles, and we keep them informed every step of the way. The days of stopping by and having one of every color to choose from are past us, but this has reduced time at the dealership immensely as we work a lot over the phone and the internet. Our guests are only coming in to drive their new vehicle after delivery. I really do not see this changing for the foreseeable future, even when inventory levels catch up in the next 12-18 months.

What are currently the most in-demand GMC vehicles? What popular features, luxury amenities, and new technolog y are customers looking for?

The all-new Yukon has been a huge boost to us and GM as it is an amazing vehicle.

There is no substitute when it comes to a full-size SUV for the Yukon Denali. It really is second to none. They are loaded with all the new tech that the Yukon has lacked in the past, surround-view monitor, rear streaming tablets, the rearview mirror is even a camera, so you don’t have to look at your rear passengers’ heads. Availability has been an issue, but we are doing our best to get them here and delivered.

Find YourConfidence and

Leave Stretch marks Behind!

Life can bring unwanted changes, especially in your body size! Pregnancy, puberty, rapid weight gain or muscle building can cause unsightly stretch marks. An alarming 90% of pregnant women will develop stretch marks around their abdomen, hips, and thighs. Men can also experience stretch marks with puberty and body building. Unfortunately, it seems to be genetic. If your family has stretch marks, odds are that you will too!

BEFORE

At Skin MD and Beyond, we give you options to visibly reduce stretch marks using advanced technologies with our Secret-RF and ResurFX procedures.

Secret-RF Micro-Needling technology creates micro-injections which increase your body’s natural tissue remodeling. Secret-RF also uses radiofrequency deep in the dermal layers, tightening and firming your collagen fibers. These two treatments in one customized handpiece will create smoother, blemish free skin.

AFTER

ResurFX Laser Resurfacing is an FDA approved laser for the treatment of stretch marks. This unique laser treatment can address and correct problematic stretch marks. First, it can help with the loss of pigment and contour. Then, we can use a deeper fractional mode to stimulate collagen growth and repair scars deep in the skin.

Skin M.D. and Beyond follows the highest standards of clinical safety, uses the finest state-of-the-art equipment and provides you the assurance of a quality experience helping you achieve more confidence in yourself!
