The New Normal Office Culture

Sooner Is Not Better Than Later

The Pre-Pandemic Work Environment Will Be Different

In my line of work, I see very few accidental deaths.

Each day we all make choices, and whether we like to admit it or not these choices have consequences.

For those returning to a physical office, the seating arrangements, meeting protocols, and other dynamics of the pre-pandemic work environment will be different.

While there is no perfect plan, knowing the priorities and putting extra attention on detailed health measures are paramount for all employers, says Dr. Jonathan Spero (www.inhouse physicians.com), a physician and expert on pandemic preparedness and employee health.

“As employers begin creating a COVID back-to-work program for their organizations, it is clear that there is no proven roadmap,” Dr. Spero says. “We are in uncharted territory.

But it has to be all about health security.

“People are concerned when they get up in the morning that they are going to be exposed to COVID-19. The only way to solve it is to take a lesson out of the global public health playbook and establish proven health security strategies. This involves three foundational elements: the prevention of illness, the detection, and the response once you get the data to identify who’s ill or who has been infected in the past. Some people will get infected in the workplace, so the key is taking all the measures Culture, Page 4A

who aren’t social distancing or wearing cloth face coverings increases your risk. Engaging with new people (e.g., those who don’t live with you) also raises your risk. Some people have the virus and don’t have any symptoms, and it is not yet known how often people without symptoms can transmit the virus to others.

Can you keep 6 feet of space between you and others, will you be outdoors or indoors? The closer you are to other people who may be infected, the greater your risk of getting sick. Keeping distance from other people is especially important for people

I buried a young woman this morning. Her fiancé stood beside me. He was heartbroken. He could not understand why she had died so young.

My name is Tracy Renee Lee. I am a Certified Grief Counselor (GC-C), Funeral Director (FDIC), published author, and syndicated columnist. I write books, weekly bereavement articles, and Grief BRIEFs related to understanding and coping with grief.

It has long been my belief that we choose our manner of death.

As I stood there beside him, I looked around the gathering of mourners.

In some, I saw choices that invite disease. In others, I saw fascinations with dangerous activities. Some of the mourners displayed attitudes of slothfulness while others acted more aggressively. The point is that we all make decisions that lead us to a place where we face the death of our choosing.

You may make the argument of accidents. In my line of work, I see very few accidental deaths.

Even when one dies in an accident, he or she may have chosen to be where they were at that moment. Sometimes, however,

Review updates from your local health department.

Deciding to Go Out? Here is What You Need to Know As communities and businesses are opening, you may be looking for ways to resume some daily activities as safely as possible. While there is no way to ensure zero risk of infection, it is important to understand potential risks and how to adopt different types of prevention measures to protect yourself and to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

As a reminder, if you have COVID-19, have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, it is important to stay home and away from other people. When you can leave home and be around others depends on different factors for different situa-

tions. Follow CDC’s recommendations for your circumstances (www.cdc.gov).

What you need to know In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread. If you decide to engage in public activities, continue to protect yourself by practicing everyday preventive actions. Keep these items on hand when venturing out: a cloth face covering, tissues, and a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if possible.

Think about how many people will you interact with, interacting with more people raises your risk. Being in a group with people

Culture From Page 1A that can help keep the transmission rate way down.”

Dr. Spero offers these tips to employers for developing a return-to-work plan: Reconfigure high-contact areas. Dr. Spero says continued social distancing and wearing masks in the office remain top priorities as the pandemic continues.

“Until further notice office space needs to be designed so employees remain at least six feet from each other at all times,” he says. “There is no more mingling in groups, and people have to be spread out.”

Daily temperature checks.

“These are done before entry in the workplace,” Dr. Spero says.

“Use no-contact, infrared thermometers. Taking employees’ temperature is not bullet-proof; people can be asymptomatic and still be infected. But fever is the most common symptom associated with COVID-19, so it makes sense to still check people’s temperatures. If they’re above normal, they’re sent home with a plan to refer the ill employee for follow-up medical evaluation and potentially COVID testing.”

Consider PCR testing. As states reopen businesses, some large companies are testing employees for COVID-19 while trying to prevent outbreaks on the job. Medical professionals and employers say this testing, known as PCR (Polymerase chain reaction), can help reduce transmissions and workers’ fears.

“For employers, it’s recommended that when doing a screening, you’re testing for those patients that are asymptomatic,” Dr. Spero says. “The idea around PCR testing is, because there’s an asymptomatic pool of employees that may be positive, you want to identify those folks and avoid them infecting others in the workplace.”

Have a reporting and followup system. Dr. Spero says employees who test positive need to be enrolled in a returnto-work program. This involves quarantine protocols and work clearance guidelines on when the employee can return to work.

Ramp up cleaning procedures. “There should be morning and evening routines of disinfecting all surfaces in the work area, including keyboards,” Dr. Spero says. “Frequent hand washing, use of hand sanitizer, and avoiding touching your face all are very important as employees come back to the office.”

“Returning to a workplace does bring risks, and employers have a duty of care to mitigate these risks,” Dr. Spero says. “It’s imperative employers build a plan that reduces the risk of COVID transmission.”

Many Workers Feeling Added Stress Because Of The Crisis The coronavirus pandemic has changed many workplaces temporarily and others permanently. Working remotely is more common, and for those returning to a physical office, the seating arrangements, meeting

While working remotely has become the norm during the pandemic, starting a new job while working from home brings added challenges – and perhaps extra anxiety for some. protocols, and other dynamics of the pre-pandemic work environment will be different.

But despite the new normal, some employees still will be confronted by the same old abrasive boss. With many workers feeling added stress because of the crisis, bosses who create more tension can make the work environment fragile and far less productive – an especially bad combination during an uncertain time in our economy, says Dr. Katrina Burrus, author of Managing Brilliant Jerks: How Organizations and Coaches Can Transform Difficult Leaders into Powerful Visionaries (www.Exc ellentExecutiveCoaching.com).

“Abrasive leaders engage in a series of negative behaviors, from harsh criticism to intimidation and manipulation,” Dr. Burrus says. “They may get results but they usually run good employees off, and their effectiveness often has a short shelflife.

“In these daunting times of major transition, company leaders need to consider the concerns and the value of their employees. Even the most approachable, well-liked leaders will need to make adjustments to best manage their people in a sensitive way while getting maximum performance. Whether leading in a fully virtual work environment, a reconfigured office or a combination of the two, leaders can’t rely solely on what used to work as effective leadership in face-to-face interactions.”

Dr. Burrus offers these tips for leaders of various types to keep in mind in the new work environment: Be brilliant, not an abrasive jerk. “If a leader’s mindset is that his or her employees are inherently lazy and need to be flogged into action, that’s how he or she will treat them,” Dr. Burrus says.

“That attitude will spread down the chain, poisoning the corporate culture. Organizations need to establish their management and leadership principles as a reference for desired behavior. If they are receptive, abrasive

leaders should be offered the support of a customized coaching program to help them change their destructive behaviors and leverage their strengths.

Organization heads should communicate to their abrasive leaders that they are valued but that misbehavior has consequences, which will be applied.”

Reassure and refocus. “When leaders do not see what their employees are doing, as when they are working remotely, this creates anxiety and may trigger the abrasive leader to be even more authoritarian,” Dr. Burrus says. “However, leaders who have high emotional intelligence will likely adapt their leadership to reassure employees, which serves to refocus and motivate them in these uncertain times.”

Use a tracking system. A tracking system is recommended with more communication. “For example,” Dr. Burrus says, “have a good morning virtual check-in where employees communicate what they intend to achieve during the day/week and a good evening check-out, where they communicate what they have accomplished, what they struggled with and what resolutions they need to find.”

Prioritize adding value.

“Remind employees to add value to clients and have more interactions with clients,” Dr. Burrus says. “Clients will remember which providers were present during these uncertain times to support them in getting over their struggles. Make sure employees have systems to stay in contact with their clients.”

Invite more feedback.

“Employees and leaders are figuring out their virtual environments and altered office environments through trial and error,” Dr. Burrus says, “so learning what is working well for your employees and sharing that with others can help your organization to adapt more effectively. Likewise, finding out what isn’t going well can help leaders adapt their expectations, leadership styles, and interactions with employees to promote effective working relationships and employee well-

“New environments beg new leadership styles,” Dr. Burrus says, “and leaders who adapt to support their employees during these challenging times will experience enhanced employee productivity and well-being.”

What If You’re Starting A New Remote Job? While working remotely has become the norm during the pandemic, starting a new job while working from home brings added challenges – and perhaps extra anxiety for some.

The work-from-home dynamic has required some adjusting for managers and employees who previously interacted full-time in an office. But imagine being a new hire – excited, young, and nervous – who’s starting the job from home while trying to make a good early impression on co-workers – and most importantly, on their new boss.

“Building relationships with a new boss and colleagues by digital means can certainly make the early transition period tougher for a new employee,” says Bob Slater, co-author with his son, Nick Slater, of Look Out Above! The Young Professional’s Guide to Success. “But it doesn’t have to be more arduous. There are strategies to help the new employee, even from afar, feel a part of the group quickly and get to know their boss.”

Nick Slater says this new normal for new hires has its advantages.

“From the beginning, starting a new job remotely puts a brandnew employee a little further out of their comfort zone, “he says.

“But it can force a new hire to sharpen their communication skills and assimilate faster. If you do those things, the boss will quickly notice.”

The Slaters offer these tips to help young professionals build relationships with their boss and co-workers while starting a new job remotely: Optimize your workspace.

Nick Slater says that if you hope

to get off on the right foot, you’ve got to make your home workfriendly. “First, eliminate all distractions around your work schedule and maintain boundaries,” he says. “Then consider your online presence. You may need to upgrade your internet services. Show up on video conferencing with the same appearance you would want in the regular office. Film yourself doing practice runs (using whatever video communications software you’ll be using for work) so that you become more comfortable on-camera.”

Get to know your boss and colleagues. “You have to make yourself visible and always available,” Bob Slater says. “This is crucial when you’re trying to prove yourself. As a new employee, you’ll build relationships quickly if you set up Zoom meetings with co-workers and, when appropriate, your boss.

Ask your boss about having a regularly-scheduled check-in, and create an agenda in advance.”

Expand your learning. “Seek out professional development opportunities that will help you do your job better,” Bob Slater says. “Learn new software skills that will save you time and allow you to produce better work.

Work on your vocabulary – having a robust vocabulary enhances your writing, your presentations, and your ability to move people to your point of view.” Be patient. “Starting a new job in lockdown, you can feel disorganized and discouraged,” Nick Slater says. “Don’t feel guilty. Keep things in perspective and be patient with yourself. Few people hit the ground running in a new job, especially in these times.

Growing pains are expected.”

“A new job always brings with it a certain excitement,” Bob Slater says. “Don’t let these challenging times diminish that good feeling. Working from home as you’re starting a new job will feel different, but fully embracing the opportunity will quickly help you get established.”

Policing Is Just One Side Of This Multifaceted Issue We All Need To Look In The Mirror

By Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper

We also need to understand the other side of the Blue Line.

They are the ones that see the worst of the worst of our society.

They do not complain as this was their calling. When they leave their families for their shifts, they must face the reality, they may not come home. This takes a toll on their mental health and their families. They must not have an additional target on their backs and worry about the safety of their families when they leave.

Policing is just one side of this multifaceted issue. Funding has been stripped from many social

not wants. Just as our police departments are critically needed.

We can’t let the message be drowned out by misguiding notions or ideas. The message of BLM was about community policing. Racism is real and that is the true root of all this unrest.

We all need to look in the mirror.

We all need to stand up and speak out against all form’s of racism and discrimination. If we do not, we are all guilty like the officers that watched and did nothing.

Additional Closures Related To COVID-19 Surge A Statement from Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez I am continuing to roll back business openings as we continue to see a spike in the percent of positive COVID-19 tests and an uptick in hospitalizations.

I am signing an emergency order that will close restaurants (except for takeout and delivery services), along with ballrooms, banquet facilities, party venues,

gyms and fitness centers, and short-term rentals. These closings, among others that will be included in the order, will be effective Wednesday, July 8, 2020. We want to ensure that our hospitals continue to have the staffing necessary to save lives.

At this time, I plan to keep open various outdoor activities,

including condominium and hotel pools with strict social distancing and masks rules, as well as summer camps and child daycare centers with strict capacity limits, requiring masks and social distancing of at least 6 feet.

Beaches will be open on Tuesday, July 7, 2020, but, if we see crowding and people not fol-

lowing the public health rules, I will be forced to close the beaches again. Office buildings, retail stores and grooming services will remain open for now.

The 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Countywide curfew will remain in force with exceptions for essential workers and for people who have a religious obligation.

Founded in 1964, Broward SCORE is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) with over 70 volunteer mentors, workshop presenters, and personnel. The chapter offers a diverse program of business support services throughout the year and is provided at no-cost to start-ups, existing businesses, or those who are thinking of starting a business. More information on these programs can be found here: https://broward. score.org/city-hollywood-cmed We are still tracking the spike in the number of cases involving 18- to 34-year-olds that began in mid-June, which the County’s medical experts say was caused by a number of factors, including young people going to congested places — indoors and outside — without taking precautions such as wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

Contributing to the positives in that age group, the doctors have told me, were graduation parties, gatherings at restaurants that turned into packed parties in violation of the rules and street protests where people could not maintain social distancing and where not everyone was wearing facial coverings.

We can tamp down the spread if everyone follows the rules, wears masks and stays at least six feet apart from others. I am counting on you, our 2.8 million residents, to stop the spread so that we can get back to opening our economy.

Do your part. Report violations by calling 305-4-POLICE. And if you don’t have to go out, remember, you are safer at home.

What’s the length of time that you will be interacting with people? Spending more time with people who may be infected increases your risk of becoming infected. Spending more time with people increases their risk of becoming infected if there is any chance that you may already be infected.

Ask yourself, am I at risk for severe illness? Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

While the risk for severe illness is lower for others, everyone faces some risk of illness. Some people have no symptoms, others have mild symptoms, and some get severely ill.

Do I live with someone who is at risk for severe illness? If you live with older adults or someone with certain underlying medical conditions, then you and all family members should take extra precautions to minimize risk.

She died in a drag racing accident. She was thrown from her car and hit a telephone pole headfirst. She died on impact. Of course, her death was accidental, however, she chose to participate in the dangerous activity that killed her. Had she not been drag racing, she would not have died that night. Her death was her fault.

I write this article not to be cold-hearted, but to save lives. Yesterday as I was driving home from Texarkana I saw a young man cut across three lanes of traffic on the freeway.

Fortunately, and only by the grace of God, no one lost control of their vehicles. The fact remains, however, that this young man could have killed several families, including his own. I see people every day who make decisions that contribute to or eventually lead them to, their deaths. I have done it myself.

Every day that I rise I make decisions about exercise and diet. These decisions contribute to my

health. Some days I decide to drive on routes that may be more dangerous than others simply because I want to go somewhere.

These are choices that place my life in more danger than if I made other more prudent choices.

Perhaps I choose to drive

beside an eighteenwheeler going around a curve rather than waiting until a straight away to pass it. Passing an eighteen-wheeler around a curve increases my chances of an automobile accident exponentially. An automobile accident with an eighteen-wheeler almost insures my death.

We all make choices, and whether we like to admit it or not, those choices affect not only our lives but our deaths. I hope that the next time you are faced with a choice that may have an element of danger, carelessness, or even some stupidity, that you will remember reading this article. If for a moment it causes you to pause and you choose to protect or preserve not only your life but perhaps someone else’s, it will be worth it.

Because trust me when I tell you, death is no accident. It happens to all of us. The only difference is that some of us choose to let it happen sooner rather than later. And, in the case of death, for you and for those around you, sooner is not better than later.

It is my life’s work to comfort the bereaved and help them live on.

Public Dashboard Tracks Local COVID-19 Business Complaints Residents Can See If Businesses Are Following Emergency Guidelines As the number of COVID19 cases continues to climb in Florida, and the nation just completed the July 4 holiday weekend, Broward County has launched a new tool to help residents ensure they are doing everything they can to contribute to a safer, healthier community and stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Broward County’s Planning and Development Management Division has launched a publicfacing dashboard of COVID-19 complaints about businesses not following sanitation, social distancing, facial covering and other reopening requirements contained in local Emergency Orders. The GIS-based website displays details about business complaints received, including:

• Name and location of businesses reported to be in violation • Number and type of warnings and citations issued • Complaint Outcomes (i.e. Warning Issued, Citation Issued, Resolved, or Pending Inspection) The database is searchable by Commission District, and by municipality, making it easy for residents to find out if a business they plan on patronizing is observing all the requirements of the Emergency Orders.

According to the dashboard, the most common type of violation is Failure to Follow Social Distancing.

Other types of violations include Not Approved to Reopen, Not Following Sanitation Requirements; Not Following Appointment

Guidelines, and Allowing More than 50% Indoor Capacity.

Residents are encouraged to bookmark the dashboard at http://arcg.is/1riWfH and visit it frequently for updates in your area.

Residents are reminded to follow social distancing and facial covering guidelines when-ever and wherever possible, even at family gatherings. If you observe that a business is not following the preventive guide-lines, you can report it anony-mously online at MyBroward. Broward.org, or call 311.

The City of Hollywood’s Office of Communications, Marketing and Economic Development is available to discuss any of your business-related issues. Contact us at 954.921.3620 or by email. Please continue to monitor www.hollywoodfl.org and www.choosehollywoodfl.com for the latest updates on business programs and resources.

Practicool Plumbing & Leak Detection Solving Problems One Pipe At A Time There are many reasons you might need to call a plumber for your home, and at Practicool, they’ve seen them all more times than you could count. They are experts in all residential plumbing issues, from video camera leak detection, tankless water heaters, new kitchen plumbing installation and the common unclogging a toilet or sink, their team is ready 24 hours a day to service any issues you may have.

Practicool has learned over their decades of reliable service the best way to have a customer feel confident about their service is to educate them. There are common plumbing issues which they know exactly what needs to be done before anything too catastrophic happens. The best reason to call a plumber is general maintenance, by doing this it will save you money in the long run, and hopefully stop those unfortunate plumbing emergencies. Practicool wants you to know the most common reasons to call a plumber, so this way you can be confident when you call them that they can solve your issue. Here are a few reasons plumbing services are typically needed, this way by recognizing the problem early you can stop the damage before it starts.

Low Water Pressure Low water pressure will cause it to be harder for you to get water out of your tap, and may be a sign of a few different things – debris buildup in pipes, problems with local municipal water supplies or a break in your main water line. If it’s simply debris causing blockages, removal and cleaning of faucets and shower heads sometimes clears up the issues. In some cases, further professional work will be needed.

Practicool can review your pressure and work on solving your issue.

Dripping Faucets/Leaky Pipes Not only can these be annoying based on sound and water pooling issues, problems with leaking pipes or faucets can lead to much larger concerns with water damage. If a pipe breaks and water is flooding your home, you know you need to call a plumber immediately. There are other times that may not be as apparent. It can be easy to ignore a leaky pipe, especially if the leak is small. It doesn’t seem like a big deal. But the truth is that any leaky pipe poses a risk because leaky pipes are more prone to burst. And, even if it doesn’t break, it will increase your water bill, and those costs can add up over time. If a pipe has burst, or if a leak is flooding, a plumber will know where to go to shut off your main water supply. They can quickly find where a leak originates, and they’ll know how to safely change the pipeline through the walls and ceilings of your home.

Running Toilet If you hear water filling the tank even though no one has flushed the toilet, don’t just dismiss it as a random occurrence.

It means the seal connecting the tank and the bowl isn’t working properly. Running toilets are the leading cause of high water bills, but Practicool can easily and quickly resolve the issue for you.

Slow Drain A bathtub or shower should drain almost instantly. If your shower or bathtub takes a long time to drain, it may need more than a liquid solution that unclogs drains. Over time, hair and debris accumulate in bathroom drains. A long-term solution may require Practicool to discuss your options.

Short Showers Required Your water heater enables you to take a hot bath or shower.

Modern water heaters should provide an adequate amount of hot water for a family. If the performance of your water heater requires short showers, or if you hear unusual noises from your

Leak Detection A tiny water leak can create huge problems in a home or business. An undetected water pipe leak will not only dramatically increase your utility bills, but it can also lead to even more expensive water damage and mold. One of the most common issues Practicool finds is a plumbing leak. Many times, homeowners have trouble locating the leak, sometimes not even realizing they have one, but are dismayed by their rising water bill month after month. This is a serious problem that requires the attention of a professional. At Practicool, they specialize in leak detection and plumbing repair.

Their professionals will fix your pipes in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner. If you’ve had

higher than average water bills, constantly have to refill your pool or hear running water it’s time to call the leak detection specialists at Practicool.

Is water pipe leak detection possible if the pipes are behind a wall? Yes, using the newest state-of-the-art detection tools highly trained technicians are able to locate water pipe leaks that are hidden behind walls, underground, above ground, or even with camera inspection.

They can even provide water plumbing leak detection within concrete slab foundations. Will insurance cover the cost of plumbing leak detection services? That all depends on your home insurance plan. In many situations when there is a need for water damage restoration many insurance companies will cover the related costs.

repairs and pipe replacements are no small task, this helps homeowners avoid expensive repairs without knowing for certain that their problem will be solved when the work is done.

The professionals at Practicool specialize in camera inspection.

A small, flexible sewer camera is attached to a snake-like cable that is feed through the pipe until it reaches the cause of the clog or break in the line. The camera records the physical location of the line and depth from the surface, telling the plumber where the blockage is and what work needs to be done to fix it.

What Is a Camera Inspection?

It’s wise for homeowners to know what camera inspections are and what they’re used for should a problem ever arise. The purpose of a camera is to be able to see what’s causing a blockage or backup within the sewer pipe without digging up the yard or just guessing what the problem is. Because sewer

Major blockages Sometimes your pipes are in perfect condition, but years of sending things down the pipes that should go in the trashcan has caused a buildup of grease, paper, and other gunk.

A sewer inspection camera can identify nearly any problem with your sewer line, but these are some of the most common: Tree root infiltrations These are most common with old pipes made out of clay, cast iron, or other porous materials.

Tree roots seek out water sources as they grow, and if they find a crack in your sewer pipe, they’ll grow into it to get to the water inside.

Sagging or bellied sewer lines When a section of the sewer pipe begins to sag, waste gets

caught in the bellied section— resulting in repeat blockages.

Broken, cracked, or collapsed pipes Since the camera feeds along the pipe itself, the plumber will be able to tell if the pipe has collapsed, shifted, or become damaged.

HEALTH Still Stressed and want a little more you time? Consider Reiki, sound healing and massage!!!We all need time to destress these days.

Skinwave Facial, this is nothing like your average facial. This is like three of those in one; combining an aqua-delivery system, skin revitalizing solutions and Hydrogen therapy for a multi-dimensional skincare treatment.

Covid Got You Down?

Make Some Time For Yourself!

At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, a skin and vein clinic in Hollywood, Florida, we’re constantly finding new ways to treat your skin.

With best-in-class skincare technology, we’re able to eradicate almost any skin woe you’re facing.

Facials, Microneedling, Massage, Reiki, Sound Therapy

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

Are you like me and need a little you time at this point? Kids have been home for months! The cooking and cleaning is insane.

The constant laundry has me dreaming of an escape. At Fox Vein and Laser Experts, we are here to add some “You Time” back into your summer. The vacation may have been cut short or cancelled but you can find a mini staycation with an hour to clear up your skin or just escape, reboot, unwind and relax.

It’s summertime again here in south Florida. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, and to top it off, we’re spending summer under our masks which packs a double punch when it comes to trying to keep our skin clear. What was once the typical summer acne from sweaty workouts, sunscreen-clogged pores, and your body’s adjustment to the heat is now coupled with skin that is not able to breathe underneath a mask.

This is what’s now known as “maskne” - it’s the irritation and acne that appears underneath your mask.

We’re not knocking the mask and YES! We want you wearing one whether you are in our office or out in public! You need to keep wearing it, regardless of how your skin is reacting - to keep yourself and others safe as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to persist.

But if you’re like the rest of us who just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to summer breakouts, we’ve got the perfect maskne treatments to clear things right up for you.

At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, a skin and vein clinic in Hollywood, Florida, we’re constantly finding new ways to treat your skin. With best-in-class skincare technology, we’re able to eradicate

almost any skin woe you’re facing.

If you’re ready to lose the maskne, here’s how we’re doing it: Skinwave Facial This is not the average facial.

This is like three of those in one; combining an aqua-delivery system, skin revitalizing solutions and Hydrogen therapy for a multi-dimensional skincare treatment. It cleans, refreshes, hydrates, and soothes - leaving your skin looking plumper, cleaner, more radiant, and dare we say-firmer. it’s gentle and safe for all skin types, tones, and textures. So, how does it work?

Skinwave’s aqua-delivery system starts with a Hydrogenenriched water infusion. The high concentration of Hydrogen reacts with active Oxygen that is linked to drying and aging. By forming newly-bound water molecules that are extracted via the radial tips, this unique Skinwave step provides antioxidant and moisturization benefits and reduces inflammation.

This is key for your maskne, which is all an inflammatory reaction to the material on your skin combined with the humid summer heat.

The Skinwave infuses your skin with three nutrient-rich solutions to optimize skin revitalization. Deep into your skin goes Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and Hyaluronic Acid to address top skincare needs: exfoliating, oil control and moisturization. Dialup the volume of one of these solutions to offer a more customizable treatment.

Did we mention the LED-light component?

Yes, it has that, too, the proverbial icing on the cake - completing an otherwise perfect

treatment. The electrical pulse hand-piece open pores to maximize solution absorption with red and blue LED light for targeted treatments. The double-lifting handpiece activates lymphatic circulation, provides muscle relaxation, skin tightening and lifting effects.

If you want the even more enhanced experience add a detoxifying mask to the skinwave to further draw out any impurities. After the skin has been evaluated, we can recommend a skincare regimen to address these new concerns with the skin.

So now, not only is your maskne gone, your skin looks better than it has in years - prepandemic time included. To kick it up a notch, consider adding microneedling and radiofrequency with Vivace for the full red-carpet treatment and to help rebuild collagen and elastin and help pore size, fine lines and wrinkles.

Call today for more information on Vivace, Skinwave and other facial, lasers, masks and peals.

Still Stressed and want a little more you time? Consider Reiki, sound healing and massage!!!

We all need time to destress these days.

De-stress from COVID with Massage, Reiki and Sound Healing According to the CDC, one of the best ways of managing stress during this pandemic is to find ways to unwind. In other words, practice self-care and take time for yourself. If we aren’t in good emotional and physical health, we aren’t any good for ourselves or anyone else in our family.

Effective solutions for selfcare are massage, reiki and sound healing. Most people have had a relaxing or therapeutic

What was once the typical summer acne from sweaty workouts, sunscreen-clogged pores, and your body’s adjustment to the heat is now coupled with skin that is not able to breathe underneath a mask. massage, and many people utilize massage therapy on a regular basis as part of their wellness and health programs. For an hour, you are able to “escape” while a licensed massage therapist melts away your stress with their trained and certified hands.

Additionally, if you suffer from chronic pain, that is often reduced during a massage session.

Reiki is an old practice of energy balancing and healing, in which the therapist transfers universal life energy through their palms to the patient. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, “the intention is to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing.” Most patients feel at ease and totally relaxed after a session. Many people report better sleep the night after a session.

Sound healing has been around since at least when Greeks used music to heal men-

tal disorders. Today, sound vibrations from crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and electronic broadcast of hi-definition recordings are used to relax the mind and body. Many believe that it also provides therapeutic benefits for anxiety, stress and insomnia.

As part of a holistic approach to health, Fox Vein and Laser Experts now provides all of these therapies in our office. Our specialist is Dayne DuVall, LMT, CAEd, who has been a reiki practitioner and licensed massage therapist for over 10. He studied massage techniques and sound healing in Bali during 7 visits to the island. His massage specialties include relaxation and meditation, deep tissue, hot stone, shiatsu, trigger point, reflexology, aromatherapy, oncology and geriatric massage.

Call today and get back some “You Time.” Even if it is just an hour to unwind and relax. Fox Vein and Laser Experts is here for you, (954) 627-1045.

We are here to provide you with the safest best skin care.

FREE WEEKLY CREDIT REPORTS Offered By Three National Credit Reporting Agencies Attorney General Ashley Moody is urging Floridians to take advantage of the free weekly access to credit reports currently being offered by the three national credit reporting agencies. In response to the widespread economic challenges emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, Equifax, Experian and Transunion are offering this free weekly access through April 2021.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “Credit reports are vital tools in tracking consumers’ financial health and credit status.

With so many Americans now facing financial hardship, it is more important than ever that Floridians monitor and protect their credit. Consumers who are unable to make payments due to the current pandemic should immediately consult with their lenders to determine if any assistance is available. Many businesses are suspending or delaying payment due dates for consumers in financial distress.

Being proactive and taking quick action to work with lenders can help consumers protect their credit ratings during this crisis.”

A consumer credit report is a record of the consumer’s credit activity and payment history used by lenders, creditors, serv-

ice providers and other businesses to extend financial opportunities and other offers to people. Reviewing credit reports frequently better enables consumers to understand the information that is being reported about personal payment history.

Attorney General Moody is offering the following tips for consumers to help maintain healthy credit during the coronavirus pandemic:

To receive free weekly credit reports, visit AnnualCreditReport.com.

• Regularly examine credit reports to confirm accuracy & ensure no fraudulent accounts were established; &

• Contact any companies where money is owed and ask if there is a payment plan or option to postpone payments;

• Alert the credit reporting agencies directly to file a dispute if fraudulent accounts, inaccuracies or oversights are spotted on a credit report.

Additionally, contact each credit reporting bureau to institute a free security freeze to prevent additional fraudulent accounts from being opened.
