Free Telehealth Counseling For People Struggling From The Impact Of The Coronavirus Pandemic In response to the extraordinary number of people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) has launched the Family Support Warm Line. The free service provides immediate access to confidential telehealth counseling to help individuals and families navigate these difficult times.

“So many families now are dealing with economic instability, health and safety uncertainty, and social isolation,” explained CHS President and CEO Andry Sweet. “Those who were already struggling are coming closer to crisis, and those who have never struggled before are finding

themselves suddenly on the brink of breakdown.”

A national leader in traumainformed care and counseling, CHS launched the Family Support Warm Line to help ensure support and a listening ear are just a phone call or text away. It’s an initial contact support service that connects users to a live counselor available 24/7 at 1-888-733-6303 to talk on the phone, by text message or over a secure HIPAA-compliant video conference. Multilingual counseling is also available.

Counselors will ask questions to assess the user’s current situation and determine what other services or long-term resources also might be beneficial. Users can always reach out to CHS if

they need additional support.

CHS can help with anxiety, depression, mental health support, general safety and wellbeing, family counseling, caregiver counseling and referrals to other services if necessary.

“No one should feel alone during this crisis,” Sweet added.

“To those feeling overwhelmed,

2020 Is The Year of Non-Invasive Skincare Treatments

By Dr. Susan Fox, DABVLM, D.O., RPVI, FSVM

JUNE 2020 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 8

You may have come to know Fox Vein and Laser Experts and Dr. Susan Fox for vein care. She has been treating veins for decades. Several years ago, she expanded her practice and started including more lasers and skin care. There is no doubt that 2020 is the year of noninvasive skincare treatments, and with that, comes the rise in popularity of custom skincare treatments. Less downtime and less risk associated with seriously effective skin enhancing treatments mean more flexibility in layering and creatively combining multiple procedures to achieve your desired look.

At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, a leading skin and vein center in South Florida, we’re all about this new trend in giving our clients the autonomy to create their own custom skincare program. Not only does it help our patients to learn about the many cosmetic skincare offerings we have right here in our office, it allows them the ability to choose what works for them - and saves lots of time, too!

“First, our patients wanted non-invasive skincare winners

that delivered when it came to results,” Dr. Fox says. “Now, they want to make the most of their time when stepping away from their busy lives for some muchneeded self-care. This is why we enjoy, and promote, the opportunity for patients to customize their visits with their favorite treatments. With close to zero downtime needed for any of our procedures, the attitude has become “the more the merrier” for both our patients AND staff.”

Still wondering which noninvasive cosmetic skincare treatments match up best when it comes to your skin’s needs? Here are some of our favorite combinations: DERMAPLANING + VIVACE MICRONEEDLING For tighter, brighter, babysmooth skin, this is one of those custom combinations that seems sent straight from the skincare gods themselves. As if Vivace Microneedling wasn’t amazing enough in itself, now we’re finding that patients are one step ahead and scheduling a dermaplaning appointment in advance of their visit with the Vivace radiofrequency that has

changed the microneedling game. Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face.

It’s also called microplaning or blading. Dermaplaning aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant.

It’s also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short, soft hairs on your face, pair them together and you’ve got the perfect double treatment to get your skin ready for a big event or repair it for some much needed self-care and is ideal for any skin type or texture.

SKINWAVE HYDROFACIAL + DERMAPLANING + GLYCOLIC PEEL For super clean pores, tighter skin, and major reduction in acne. Clogged pores, dull skin, and light acne are no match for this triple threat. One of our newest babies, the Skinwave hydrofacial from Cartessa, is actually a triple threat in itself.

The Skinwave combines an aqua-delivery system, skin revitalizing solutions and Hydrogen therapy for a multi-dimensional skincare treatment. Solutions

rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrogen (H2) are infused deep into the skin, while gentle extraction removes impurities. It’s the ultimate compliment to brighten skin, improve vitality and tone.

So now, imagine your pores are completely cleaned out, your skin is hydrated, and you have the perfect canvas to dermaplane and throw on a peel that will help tame any acne left behind.

This powerful pack of three will have you glowing from the inside out when you’re finished, and is ideal for oily and/or acne prone skin.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL & INJECTABLES For less hair, less wrinkles, and skin you can feel confident about with aging comes wrinkles and sagging skin, no doubt, but for many women, postpartum and menopausal hormones can cause unwanted hair growth in the strangest of places. Wrinkles, sagging skin and hair growth?

How fun, said no one ever.

But when combining laser hair removal treatments with

your visits for injectables like botox and fillers, you’re doing triple duty to combat the pitfalls of hormonal womanhood. Our expertly trained aestheticians will help you lose the hair for good (think: no more plucking chin hairs in the car), while one of the staff will help you kiss those wrinkles and collagendepleted areas of your face byebye with a natural injectable approach to plumping up your face.

PRP INJECTIONS + VIVACE MICRONEEDLING For twice the results in half the time When you couple Vivace RF microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy) or AnteAge Stem cell therapies, you’ll experience an even richer enhancement to your skin.

This is a sought-after skincare treatment in Miami, and one that is now available at the Hollywood office of Fox Vein & Laser Experts. This procedure is used to help with skin Rejuvenation and involves the application of a patient’s blood platelets or a proprietary stem

CITY NEWS DR. FOX Continued From Pg 8 cell serum back onto their body in a targeted location that needs treatment. The platelets are retrieved from a blood sample where the platelet rich plasma is separated from other blood components, and then applied back into the body to do their work. If that sounds too gory then, a manufactured and cleaned stem cell serum rich in growth factors can be applied as well.

These platelets have proven to encourage areas of the body that are inflamed or damaged to heal much more quickly.

Microneedling is a procedure in which new collagen and elastinrich tissue is created as a result of the skin being “injured” by tiny needles pricking its surface.

When PRP is added to a Vivace RF micro-needling treatment, it causes those needle wounds to heal at a faster pace and will assist in lifting the skin, decreasing wrinkles and fine lines.

HEALTH

It’s Not COVID-19 Florida Teens are Going to the Hospital with Serious Respiratory Issues Attorney General Ashley Moody is warning parents and teens about an alarming new health scare. Reports are emerging of Florida teens being rushed to the hospital with COVID-19 like symptoms after using ecigarette products—some having to be placed on ventilators. The patients test negative for the novel coronavirus, however they vape. Health experts are concerned that the underaged use of e-cigarettes may be exacerbating the COVID-19 crisis—potentially putting minors who vape at an increased risk of complications from the virus.

Even before COVID-19 spread into Florida, underage vaping was a growing problem. The Florida Department of Health recently announced 119 cases of vaping-related pulmonary illnesses statewide, and it was reported just last month, that

teens were being hospitalized in the Orlando area with COVID-19 like symptoms that proved to be unrelated to COVID, but rather, were the effects of vaping.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “These reports are extremely concerning. Most Americans are paying extra attention to their health right now and taking steps to avoid contracting COVID-19. We know that most young people are not as susceptible to some of the more serious effects of the virus unless they have a preexisting condition. But, for teens who vape, we are now hearing that vaping may cause damage to their young lungs and is even more devastating when combined with COVID-19.

“I am a mother. This is scary stuff. Please talk to your kids about the COVID-19 pandemic and how vaping may put them at

increased risk of suffering the more harmful effects of the novel coronavirus. Let them know that kids their age are being rushed to the hospital not because of COVID-19—but because of vaping. Also, take the time to talk to them about addiction and how nicotine can be habit forming.

This conversation may be more important now than ever before.” Dr. Jenna Wheeler, MD, Pediatric Critical Care Physician at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children said, “Over the past several weeks, we have seen a substantial rise in teen vaping related cases in our hospital that have resulted in critical lung injuries. It is especially important during these stressful times that parents talk to their children and educate them on the dangers and potential lifethreatening side effects of vaping. It is absolutely more danger-

ous than most people think.”

According to a 2019 Florida Department of Health report, ecigarette use among Florida high school students increased 63 percent from 2017 to 2018. The report indicates that nearly one in four Florida high school students now admits to vaping.

Another study found two-thirds of young people did not know that certain vaping products contained nicotine.

Attorney General Moody is a leader in the fight to stop underage vaping in Florida. Since taking office, Attorney General Moody: • Announced Florida is leading a 39-state coalition of attorneys general in investigating the vaping company, JUUL; • Launched the most comprehensive state vaping investigation publicly acknowledged to date—looking into the marketing and selling practices of ecigarette products by more than 20 companies selling in Florida; • Joined 42 attorneys general in urging leading streaming com-

panies to limit tobacco imagery content on their platforms; and • Embarked on a statewide factgathering mission to determine the cause and solutions for the teen-vaping epidemic in Florida.

Last week, Attorney General Moody filed complaints against two Florida companies selling vaping products in Florida and marketing nicotine products to minors. For more information on the recent actions, click here.

During the 2020 Florida Legislative Session, Attorney General Moody worked with state lawmakers on a bill to prevent the sale and marketing of vaping products to minors. SB 810 would strengthen ageverification requirements; ban flavors that attract kids; bringing age restrictions in line with federal guidelines; and require vaping education classes for minors caught in possession of ecigarette devices and products.

The legislation passed both houses of the Florida Legislature, but has not yet been sent to the Governor.

Lily & Timmy’s Super, Awesome, Incredible, COVID-19 B-day!

For nearly two months now, many parents have been quarantined with their young children … and while the end may be in sight, we could all do with a laugh. Just in time to offer that comedic relief comes Lily & Timmy’s Super, Awesome, Incredible, COVID-19 Bday!, an e-book, now available on Amazon in all marketplaces worldwide, for both children and adults from comedians and debut authors Mike Farrell and Jacob Horn.

Lily & Timmy’s B-day is written tongue-firmlyplanted-in-cheek as a children’s story yet is in every way a book for adults, too.

The story hilariously depicts scenarios that have come to define life during the pandemic with colorful illustrations and witty banter between the parents and kids. From toilet paper hoarding to social distancing to face masks and more. And it all starts with a derailed

birthday celebration for 6year-old twins.

Lily and Timmy have been looking forward to a birthday trip to Disneyland when the pandemic hits and mom and dad try to explain why they need to stay home. And can’t see their friends. Or their grandparents. Yet, mom is determined to create a very special at-home birthday that Lily and

Timmy will never forget – even if dad is caught up in the hysteria of the moment.

“These are strange times for kids,” said Farrell. “Jacob and I set out on this writing adventure to create a story that relates to what they’ve have had to go through in missing special occasions and events and try to lift their spirits. At the same time, we wanted to create

a humorous escape for all of the parents out there, the unsung heroes, who have remained resilient and found creative new ways to occupy their children’s time.”

The authors are longtime friends who have worked on many comedy and film projects together during their careers in entertainment.

Farrell started out as an intern for

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and recently co-wrote a TV sitcom pilot. Horn, meanwhile, has worked on a number of films and TV shows, with the most recent being Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

“Mike and I both had projects in the works before the pandemic that are now on hiatus. So, we decided to take this time and put our heads together to do what we do

best – entertain people and make them laugh,” said Horn. “The book is meant to give families a shared reading experience they can all enjoy from different points of view.”?

Lily & Timmy’s Super, Awesome, Incredible, COVID-19 B-day! is now available in e-book on Amazon. For more information, go to lilyandtimmy.com.
