One Stop Construction: Guiding You Through Your Projects From Conception to Completion January 13, 2022 Share The One Stop team, as their name suggests, worked to create a one-stop business that offers everything in house. From pools and wall decorative stones, to interior renovations and structural damage repair. One Stop Construction ensures that all staff on board are fit for the task by dedicating time to the individual client and their specific needs. In all areas of construction, management and production, Jesus Velazquez and his team at One Stop Construction Inc. are celebrated for their in-depth expertise and professionalism. For over 18 years they’ve been serving the South Florida community, approaching each construction project with meticulous care and unrivaled efficiency. Velazquez has been operating One Stop Construction Inc. for 18 years. In that time he and his company have performed and completed a wide and varied range of projects across South Florida. Their level of expertise in new construction and renovation is detailed and comprehensive, all the while communicating with all clients throughout different phases of each project. So what exactly makes them so unique? One Stop Construction is actually one of the only construction companies that give you on the spot estimates for the cost of a project. “Depending on how simple the project is we can even give them a rough estimate over the phone just to make sure they have realistic expectations,” Velazquez said. Velazquez and his team got into the construction business because they wanted to simplify and streamline the construction process for as many people as they could. So not only do they offer on the spot estimates, but they also provide all of the design work in house as well. Anyone can now create the home or business space they have always desired with services from the general contractors at One Stop Construction, Inc. As a full service General Contractor, you’ll have experts with you every step of the way. The reason this is so valuable is that you can conform the design to the budget from the very beginning and not the other way around. If a client has a project in mind that falls out of their budget, One Stop will advise and course correct in the early stages of design so no time is wasted. In this way One Stop Construction set out to irrevocably change the landscape of construction and create a more efficient way to get projects completed. The problem as they saw it was how complex and often counter productive the current process was for getting any construction or renovation work done was for people. Those looking to get construction work done traditionally have to get their designs and renderings from another architect, individual designer or entity. This tends to create issues for the clients when they realize the design they envisioned is unaffordable and out of reach. The biggest problem, as Velazquez sees it, is the disconnect between the design, the designer and contracting costs. “Usually the design individual or entity doesn’t have an accurate pulse on the numbers,” Velazquez said. “So what will happen is, we’ll go out to quote something based on the architectural plans and design rendering and when we give them the price it’s completely out of their budget.” That’s why Velazquez and the One Stop team, as their name suggests, worked to create a one-stop business that offers everything in house. That way, they can guide their clients through the whole process from conception to completion and ensure the best quality project for a reasonable and cost efficient price. “We tell them, ‘Look, this is roughly the range you can expect to pay for this project.’ We do this with regards to everything from design, to permits, to construction. So that allows for a realistic understanding of whether they can move forward with the project or not,” said Velazquez. Furthermore, they focus on working with only products and equipment with the highest quality, as well as the best subcontractors and well-known designers from around the world. The customer experience is always the primary concern and One Stop aspires to deliver the best results possible. They specialize in new construction for residential and commercial projects, which include Custom Homes, Shopping Centers, Community Developments and full remodeling and retrofit of existing structures. From pools and wall decorative stones, to interior renovations and structural damage repair, One Stop Construction ensures that all staff on board are fit for the task by dedicating time to the individual client and their specific needs. In this way, Velazquez and his team guarantee that the client can get the perfect renovation, construction, or repair at an affordable price without wasting their time on multiple contractors for one project. One Stop Construction has its clients in mind at all times. Their price estimates that are written within 24 to 48 hours and if the customer feels uncomfortable with in-person meetings, they also offer video conference calls to minimize contact. Their diverse and proactive team is focused on discovering the solution that serves the client. They have multifaceted expertise in a wide range of projects and methods of execution that help them complete projects on time and with care. Using a combination of both time-proven and cutting-edge methods, they work to ensure their client’s projects are executed to their full potential. For them, projects are not just buildings and construction is not just a job. These are clients' plans for the future. They are goals to be achieved with the utmost care. “The most enjoyable part of this job is seeing the joy in someone having a pleasant experience in an industry saturated with non-professionals,” Velazquez said. Seeing someone happy with not only the end result but the overall experience is what makes it worth it.” You can reach them by phone at: (305)442-2799 or on their website: www.onestopconstruction.com < Previous News Next News >

Dr. Jessica Cismas Improves Smiles, Facial Structure and Health with Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry October 21, 2021 Share Dr. Jessica Cismas is a general and cosmetic dentist. With more than 57,000 patients to her credit in private practice and clinics throughout the United States and Canada, she has been recognized throughout her profession for her remarkable dexterity, artistic skills and gentle, kind approach Dr. Cismas earned her DMD (Doctor of Medical Dentistry) in 2005 from University of Montreal and completed her GPR (General Practice Residency) in 2006 from McGill University. Immediately after completing her schooling, she moved to Manhattan, where she worked for 12 years in diverse dental offices, for the purpose of acquiring a wide range of unique experiences. She continues to participate regularly in weekly dental group studies and attends more than double the required continuing education classes annually to keep abreast of the latest technology and innovative procedures in her field. During her 16-year career, Dr. Cismas has performed thousands of procedures that include veneers, tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, emergency treatments, root canals, fillings, extractions, night guards, flippers, Valplast® partial and full dentures, periodontal treatment and implant restorative care. She also completed many treatments using FirstFit®, Invisalign®, Clear Correct® and Snap-On Smiles®. Dr. Cismas uses cutting edge technology incorporating digital dentistry on a daily basis. However, her true passion is cosmetic dentistry. Many patients are referred to her for challenging aesthetic problems. Some of them are patients who are not satisfied with previous cosmetic procedures; others are simply curious as to how they can improve their smile. “Technology has removed a lot of guess work in dentistry,” says Dr. Cismas, but in cosmetic dentistry, a keen sense of artistry must be applied for the ultimate aesthetic effect. I only use the best materials, equipment and team with the top labs in the country to achieve the best results.” Through her weekly online consults with dental groups around the world, Dr. Cismas is exposed to ever-changing new approaches and techniques and she will update current procedures in her practice as indicated. In her calm and compassionate manner, once Dr. Cismas carefully has explained the problem to her patient, she will present several corrective options that can work, allowing for the patient to make his or her own decision. “It’s important for patients to understand the problem and take the time to make the right choice for themselves, based on their personal priorities,” she adds. Dr. Cismas has been part of Aventura Dental Group since 2017. She works very closely with the periodontists in her office to methodically plan implant and periodontal surgery and treatment. “Quite often patients appear with improperly placed implants, because the practitioner did not have an overall plan in mind for a final restoration of the mouth. Consequently, gum problems can occur and the implant may need to be removed and replaced,” says Dr. Cismas. “That’s the benefit of evaluating the situation along with the periodontist.” When teeth are being treated or broken teeth repaired, Dr. Cismas pays particular attention to occlusion, defined as the meeting of the upper and lower teeth. “Correct occlusion of a patient’s bite is important whether simply filling a tooth or performing a full mouth reconstruction,” she says. Because this is such a significant concern in good dentistry, Dr. Cismas went above and beyond to complete a year-long specialty course just on occlusion. “Typical presentations of occlusion problems are worn down, aging or broken teeth.” says Dr Cismas. “This damage can cause loss of a patient’s facial vertical dimension. As the patient’s bite slowly collapses, the jaw reacts by closing more than it should, which affects alignment of the teeth, lips and other facial features. Results could include flattened upper and lower lips, wrinkling and droopy, folding facial skin, especially in the corners of the lips.” Dr. Cismas notes that these are the facial changes that contribute to an aging appearance! “The solution in this situation is to open the patient’s bite in order to restore it to how it was in the past or even improve it. By restoring the bite, Dr. Cismas says that facial structure improves. Premature wrinkles can be stretched over an improved alignment. With better support, lips can appear fuller, lessening the need for Botox and fillers. “A collapsed bite can be corrected with metal braces or clear plastic liners such as Invisalign®, veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and/or implants” says Dr. Cismas. “Length of time and cost will depend on the severity of the problem, condition of the mouth and how long the abnormality has been present. It is really important to make these corrections at any age from a health and cosmetic perspective and the extra benefit definitely is a more youthful appearance and sense of well-being.” Dr. Cismas’ online ratings are 5-star. William Ellingsworth summed it up in his review by saying “I never met a nicer, more humble, sincere, caring professional as Dr. Jessica Cismas. Her technique and chairside manner is first class and second to none. Her exam was thorough and thoughtful. Her assessment made perfect sense and she explained everything to me in detail, leaving no questions unanswered.” “Cosmetic surgery is an art form,” says Dr. Cismas. “I have many patients who have visited me from Europe and South America for corrective work. Referrals seem to have gone far. Comfort and open communication is also a key player in my patient interaction." “I treat everyone as though they are family. Also, I must love the finished product myself before I will even show the patient the result. My patient’s satisfaction is definitely my best reward!” As if her days are not full enough, this remarkable woman enjoys spending her non-professional time at home with her husband Marius, four growing boys and a brand new baby girl.

7 Of The Nation's Top Independent BBQ Stores Are In Florida South Florida Sun Times Aug 13, 2026 Barbecue Season May Look Like A Backyard Ritual, But It Is Also Big Business. From grills and smokers to sauces, rubs, meat, charcoal, pellets, coolers, patio furniture, and grocery baskets, America’s summer cookout economy reaches deep into Wall Street. Publicly traded companies such as Traeger, McCormick, Kraft Heinz, Tyson Foods, Hormel, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Costco all have a stake in how Americans spend when the weather warms up and the tongs come out. But while national brands dominate much of the category, barbecue culture itself is still often shaped locally. Across the country, independent BBQ stores, butcher shops, smokehouse suppliers, grill dealers, rub makers, and sauce specialists continue to play an outsized role in how Americans cook, shop, and gather. These are the places people go when they want sharper advice, better ingredients, specialist equipment, local flavor, and a more personal experience than they can get from a national chain. MarketBeat, a financial media company, wanted to explore the competition between Main Street barbecue culture and Wall Street’s summer grilling economy. The company surveyed 3,009 consumers, asking them to identify the best independent BBQ stores across the country. The top 10 were as follows: #1. All Things Barbecue, Wichita, Kansas It's rare for a local shop to have this kind of broader name recognition, but All Things Barbecue in Wichita's Delano district has built a national following thanks to Chef Tom's YouTube channel, and the brick-and-mortar shop itself is just as serious, stocked deep with Yoder grills, smokers, rubs, and sauces. A destination stop for serious barbecue fans passing through Kansas. #2. Jeff's Backyard, San Antonio, Texas Jeff's Backyard in San Antonio is a premier independent grill dealer and also offers propane refills, a small but genuinely handy service for regular grillers. Not having to track down a propane swap separately saves a real trip. A practical, full-service stop for San Antonio backyard cooks. #3. BBQ Outfitters, Austin, Texas A familiar name across a big stretch of central Texas, BBQ Outfitters has grown into a true Texas regional retailer with locations in both Austin and San Antonio, stocking Kamado Joe, Yoder, and pellet smokers throughout. A dependable choice no matter which side of I-35 you're on. #4. Chuds Provisions, Manchaca (Austin), Texas Chuds Provisions near Austin operates by appointment, giving shoppers a more personal, focused look at their Chud Box smokers and pits without the distraction of a crowded showroom floor. That appointment-only setup means you get real one-on-one attention rather than browsing on your own and guessing. A worthwhile call ahead for Austin-area smoker enthusiasts who want it done right. #5. Original Grills – Outdoor Kitchen & Grill Store, Durham, North Carolina A nice, unexpected touch for cooks who care about the whole prep-to-plate experience, not just the grill itself, Original Grills in Durham stocks Recteq and Coyote grills, along with full outdoor kitchens and a solid knife selection that most grill shops wouldn't think to carry. A well-rounded stop for the Durham area's serious cooks who like a complete setup. #6. BBQ Pits by Klose, Houston, Texas BBQ Pits by Klose has earned a renowned reputation in Houston for its custom offset smokers and pits, the kind of equipment that serious pitmasters seek out by name. That level of craftsmanship doesn't happen by accident. A legendary stop for anyone serious about true offset smoking in Texas. #7. The Grill Store by Prestige, Frisco, Texas The staff can really walk you through every option on the floor at The Grill Store by Prestige in Frisco, which focuses on premium backyard entertaining, pairing luxury grills and smokers with elite patio design. A reliable stop for the northern Dallas suburbs looking for genuine specialty expertise. #8. Oklahoma BBQ Supply, Tulsa, Oklahoma Oklahoma BBQ Supply offers a comprehensive selection of grills, smokers, sauces, and rubs right in the heart of the city. That extensive inventory gives shoppers a built-in sense of credibility before they even walk through the door. A reliable Tulsa stop for stocking up on the essentials. #9. The Kansas City BBQ Store, Olathe, Kansas The Kansas City BBQ Store in Olathe stocks grills, smokers, rubs, sauces, and even meat, making it a true one-stop shop for a full cookout. Kansas City takes its barbecue seriously, and this shop reflects that with a deep, well-curated selection. A reliable pick for anybody in the KC metro looking to stock up properly. #10. Atlanta Grill Company, Roswell, Georgia A one-stop shop for folks building out their whole outdoor cooking arsenal, Atlanta Grill Company has stayed an independently owned operation in Roswell, rounding out its Yoder smoker lineup with knives, pizza ovens, and all the accessories a serious cook could want. A trusted Atlanta-area name for grill enthusiasts. 7 of the nation's top independent BBQ stores are in Florida: #13. Just Grillin Outdoor Living, Tampa Just Grillin Outdoor Living has stayed a family-run operation in Tampa, stocking heavyweight brands like Weber and Yoder alongside pellet grills and broader outdoor living gear. The family touch shows in the kind of attentive service that makes picking the right grill less overwhelming. A trusted Tampa name for anyone serious about outdoor cooking. #22. G6 Grills Outdoor Kitchen, Orlando Custom is the operative word at G6 Grills Outdoor Kitchen in Orlando, which specializes in outdoor kitchens and grills built to match exactly what a homeowner has in mind. That kind of custom build approach takes the guesswork out of matching grill to layout. A strong choice for Florida homeowners ready to commit to a serious backyard cooking space. #46. The Outdoor Kitchen Store, Tampa The Outdoor Kitchen Store in Tampa offers a wide selection of rigs ranging from high-end built-in gas lines to traditional ceramic kamado cookers, but the real draw is how the shop frames everything around the full outdoor kitchen rather than just one appliance. It's a smart approach for homeowners who are tired of piecing together a backyard setup one purchase at a time. A go-to for Florida shoppers thinking bigger than a single grill. #64. Brownsville Grills, Miami Gardens Brownsville Grills builds its grills from the ground up right there in Miami Gardens, putting it firmly in the custom-maker camp rather than the retail-reseller crowd. That hands-on, made-to-order approach appeals to folks who want something built specifically for their backyard. A solid option for anyone after a truly custom piece of cooking equipment. #66. Calidad Grills, St. Augustine (Jacksonville) Calidad Grills keeps a broad selection of grills and smokers on hand near St. Augustine, giving shoppers plenty of room to compare before committing. It's the kind of shop where browsing actually pays off, since the variety on the floor covers a lot of different cooking styles. A solid stop for the historic coast's backyard cooks. #73. Premier Gas and Grills, Green Cove Springs (Jacksonville) Whether you're after a quick grill upgrade or a full backyard overhaul, Premier Gas and Grills near Jacksonville covers a whole lot of ground, stocking everything from smokers and rubs. Operating alongside its unique in-house market, Roosters General Store, this local showroom is a dependable name for the Jacksonville area's grilling crowd looking to score both top-tier rigs and locally sourced farm meats in a single stop. #102. Choly's Grill, North Miami A taste of Argentina lands in North Miami at Choly's Grill, specializing in parrillas, asadores, and quebracho wood that you simply won't find at the typical American grill shop. It's a refreshing change of pace for anyone who's curious about South American grilling traditions. A genuinely unique find in the Miami grill scene. Infographic showing national rankings The survey also found that many people believe barbecue season has become heavily commercialized. When asked which part of BBQ season feels most over-commercialized, the top answer was expensive grills and smokers, chosen by 27% of respondents. Fourth of July promotions followed closely behind at 22%, while 15% pointed to premium meat prices. Other responses included: • Branded sauces and rubs: 12% • Patio furniture and outdoor kitchens: 9% • Grill accessories and gadgets: 5% • Grocery store BBQ displays: 5% • Social media BBQ content: 4% Despite the rise of national retailers and big-name food brands, Floridians still see barbecue as something rooted in home, family, and local culture. Asked what is most responsible for keeping American BBQ culture alive, 39% said family traditions, making it the clear top answer. Local BBQ restaurants came next at 19%. By comparison, big-box retailers barely registered, with just 2% of respondents saying they are most responsible for keeping barbecue culture alive. The full breakdown was: • Family traditions: 39% • Local BBQ restaurants: 19% • Independent BBQ stores: 9% • Local butcher shops: 9% • Social media influencers: 7% • Small sauce and rub makers: 5% • Supermarkets: 5% • National food brands: 5% • Big-box retailers: 2% Americans also appear to have a strong appetite for local flavor. Nearly two-thirds of respondents said they would rather buy sauces, rubs, or seasonings from a small local maker than a national brand. That preference may reflect a wider frustration with how commercial barbecue has become. Overall, 62% of respondents said they think barbecue has become too dominated by big brands and national retailers. When asked which BBQ product is most worth paying extra for from a local specialist, meat was the runaway winner, selected by 43% of respondents. Rubs or seasonings came second at 18%, followed by sauces at 15%. Respondents said the BBQ products most worth paying extra for from a local specialist were: • Meat: 43% • Rubs or seasonings: 18% • Sauces: 15% • A grill or smoker: 10% • Grill accessories: 6% • Charcoal, wood, or pellets: 6% • Advice or repairs: 1% But there is one part of the cookout where Floridians are clearly feeling the pinch: the meat aisle. Steak was named the BBQ item that has become too expensive to justify buying regularly, chosen by 42% of respondents. Brisket followed at 25%, while 12% pointed to ribs. • Steak: 42% • Brisket: 25% • Ribs: 12% • Burgers: 7% • Chicken wings: 5% • Charcoal or pellets: 3% • Sausages: 2% • Sauces and rubs: 2% And while barbecue purists may argue otherwise, Americans are not above a shortcut. Store-bought sauce was the most widely accepted BBQ shortcut, chosen by 25% of respondents. Disposable plates and cutlery came next at 19%, followed by using a gas grill instead of charcoal at 17%. • Store-bought sauce: 25% • Disposable plates and cutlery: 19% • Gas grill instead of charcoal: 17% • Pre-made sides: 15% • Frozen burgers: 14% • Buying pre-marinated meat: 10% Matt Paulson, Founder of MarketBeat, said: “Barbecue season is a perfect example of where Main Street and Wall Street meet. Public companies have a huge stake in how Americans spend on food, grills, groceries, and outdoor entertaining, but the culture itself is still deeply local. Independent stores, butcher shops, sauce makers, and BBQ specialists are often the places that keep the personality of barbecue alive. That local expertise is something big brands can sell around, but they cannot easily replace.

Welcome to Ambrosia: South Florida’s Hottest Hookah Lounge and Bar By Austin Torres July 28, 2021 Share When it comes to once in a lifetime nightlife experiences, there are few locations in South Florida that do it as well as Amir Boctor’s Ambrosia Hookah Lounge and Bar. This upscale lounge is a one-of-a-kind venue that synthesizes the best elements of the hottest nightclubs as well as the most successful lounges to create a unique experience that not only makes it a staple of the Hallandale community, but also an innovative venue distinctly different from any of its competitors. In 2019, Amir had taken notice of the growing popularity of hookah lounges and bars in South Florida and realized that they were missing the deep traditions and roots of hookah culture and the lack of upscale hookah lounges. Recalling his home town in Cairo, a communal environment that offered comfort and a sense of unity, he began to envision a different kind of hookah lounge that would embody those same values. In 2019, Amir brought that vision to life and Ambrosia was born. The product of meticulous planning and deep emotional investment, Ambrosia is a conceptual hookah lounge forged on the hybridization of authentic traditions, innovation, and the ability to submerge the senses in delight. As soon as you enter Ambrosia, you are immersed in a unique ambience. A tastefully decorated gorgeous Moroccan Motif and stunning light fixtures and seating areas epitomize comfort and class, while creating an environment that’s perfect for unwinding, socializing, and having an overall great time. To create an authentic feel, all fabrics and furniture materials were hand selected, and custom designed and imported from Egypt, giving guests a uniquely exotic sense of location. Lamps and chandeliers were also imported from Egypt and beautifully compliment the décor, providing warm and inviting lighting. The wall art at Ambrosia was brilliantly crafted over several days of laborious painting by a local artist, and the result is a multi-layered masterpiece, rich in depth and color. One of the things that makes Ambrosia so different from other Hookah lounges, is the impressive way in which they are able to balance the more relaxing and laid-back elements of a typical hookah lounge with the lively and energetic ambience of the nightclub scene. The warm and friendly accommodating staff go above and beyond to ensure that each guest is treated like family. You will find that Ambrosia is best suited for casual socialization from 8 PM-10 PM. “8-10 on Monday and Tuesday is the best time to chill, and converse with friends,” says Amir, “We’re also offering Happy Hour 2 for 1 on wine and champagne by the glass, and beers.” For those of you looking for a relaxing spot to come hangout for a couple hours and catch up with friends while enjoying any one of several drinks served at the illustrious Ambrosia Hookah Lounge, come by during these times to decompress after a long work day and have some laughs. The drink menu at Ambrosia features a wide variety of carefully selected choices, ranging from delicious affordable wines and fine wines to Vintage champagnes. You can choose from Ruby Red Rose from the South of France, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, or Caymus Cabernet from Napa Valley or you can treat yourself to Don Perignon Brut or Vintage Don Perignon Rose, as well as many more. Naturally, Ambrosia is renowned for its hookahs and tobacco. Here you will only find reasonably priced top shelf products. Ambrosia provides a wide variety of highly coveted Russian Tobacco brands such as Element, with numerous flavors to choose from. House blends are crafted by Hookah Master and Alchemist, Vlad, who dedicates himself to bringing you an exotic mix of flavors and sensorial delights and can accommodate any taste or flavor. You will find that Ambrosia uses only the highest quality Hookah’s imported from Russia that deliver the ultimate smoking experience including but not limited to; Alpha Hookah, Mattpear Hookah, and Mexanika. Music picks up and the party starts to get hot after 10 pm, all the way to 2 am every night (currently Ambrosia is in the process of getting a nightclub license that will allow it to remain open until 6 AM, stay tuned for the announcement). On Wednesday’s, Ambrosia hosts a highly successful Karaoke night featuring songs in a variety of languages. And from Thursday to Friday Ambrosia features a live DJ who comes on after 10 pm. “It’s a friendly spot for everyone to gather and have a good time with friends,” said Amir. Ambrosia also hosts a variety of events and on Saturdays, the party reaches its pinnacle. Every week it’s a surprise; you might find belly dancers, go-go dancers, drummers, or aerial acrobatics at this lively venue. Ambrosia is an ideal venue to celebrate your birthday or any special occasion as many of their customers currently do. Whatever the event is, there’s no shortage of fun at Ambrosia. Most recently, they hosted a magical acrobatic show for the 4th of July, featuring cirque de soleil performers. At Ambrosia, you’ll also find a variety of delectable bites with options to choose from gourmet meats and cheeses, and seasonal fruit platters. Try their Chef’s Sampler platter, a delicious mix of smoked salmon, cream cheese, cherry tomatoes sundried tomatoes, truffle cheese, shrimp with blue crab spread and pineapple or any one of their delicious deserts from tiramisu to a triple layer panna cota.

No anesthetic is necessary and it is extremely effective and affordable. Many other body contouring machines in the industry are extremely uncomfortable and do not always have the best results. Physiq is the first to use STEP technology (Sequential Thermal and Electrical Pulse) muscle stimulation with laser lipolysis in a sequential manner with contact cooling. The patient can actually control the energy and comfort level themselves, which is the main reason why the procedure is relatively pain-free and requires no down time. It can treat multiple body parts at once, including the inner thighs, buttocks, abdominals and flanks, just to name a few. The machine, made for Cartessa by Europe’s leading laser manufacturer, Deka, is already being hailed as the newest and best in body contouring and will quickly be-come an industry leader. Experts recommend five sessions, each spaced one week apart, for optimal results. The treatment sessions are faster and more comfortable than other body contouring ma-chines. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is now offering Physiq at its Hollywood location. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is also one of the first in the country to offer the Virtue RF. This machine takes microneedling to a whole new level. It is faster, more customizable and less painful than its predecessors. This machine uses 36 gold coated needles at one of three treatment speeds with robotic precision delivery to provide the best microneedling radiofrequency treatment in the industry. It provides immediate results with little to no down time. The results improve over time as your body continues to build collagen and elastin to improve your appearance. It is used to shrink pore size, help skin laxity, improve fine lines and wrinkles, build collagen and elastin, improve scars, especially those caused by acne and help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It can also be used with PRP or a proprietary stem cell system to help with hair loss. Only the Virtue RF pairs the treatment with LED red or blue light to help with acne or signs of aging. The facial treatments can be followed by a microcurrent dual face mask system by Franz Skincare. This mask uses ion currents and patented Tissue X technology to transport the nourishing substances deeper into the dermis where they help the most. The other amazing aspect of the Virtue machine is the ability to completely turn off the radiofrequency if desired. This is very helpful when we are microneedling for hair loss or on patients who have defibrillators or pacemakers. These FDA-approved machines are at the forefront of new and innovative less invasive, less painful treatment options that help you look your best for years to come. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also offers the best in tattoo removal, using Picoway by Candela. In those cases where someone may regret getting a tattoo, hope is not lost. This machine is the best tattoo removal laser on the market. It can also be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, discolorations, scars and more. The laser uses Picosecond pulses of light in various wavelengths and vibrational energy to remove the ink or benign pigmented lesions. It comes in various wavelengths to adequately treat various colors of ink and melanin on any color skin. The photo-acoustic effect minimizes the injury to the skin and tissues to just the lesion or area being treated. Tattoos and discolorations can be removed faster and with less pain than older treatments. In addition to tattoo removal, the laser can also be used for skin rejuvenation. It has a separate hand piece, known as Resolve by Picoway, which can help with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as signs of aging like darkening and age spots. The laser also helps refine tummy tuck scars, breast scars and facial scars. “We originally added the Picoway to help people rid themselves of discoloration related to their vein issues, but we use it for so much more,” said Dr. Fox. Aside from vein procedures, Fox Vein & Laser Experts also performs hair restoration with microneedling and PRP or stem cell serums. They have been a primary center in a hair regrowth trial using microneedling and AnteAge stem cell serums. The Virtue RF microneedling machine makes 36 micro-holes in the scalp with each pass. These channels allow the PRP and stem cells to be better absorbed in the areas that it is needed. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is completing a funded study of hair restoration and so far, have seen amazing results. The patients have noticed thicker hair, even after the first few treatments. The study was designed as a six-month trial, with patients coming in every two weeks for three months, then only once monthly. In between visits, the patients are instructed to use a hair care formula by AnteAge at home. Before and after photos have been taken, which visually show the success rate. “Many people have struggled with thinning hair and hair loss from stress, aging, medications, Covid-19, illness, etc. and this has been so helpful," said Dr. Fox. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also has a full-time aesthetician on staff, Samantha. She has experience providing peels, facials and laser hair removal for more than a decade. She performs all types of cutting-edge facials, peels, jelly masks, hydrofacials, aquagold and more.

Aventura Seeks Players: To Join its Youth Travel Soccer Teams July 26, 2023 Share As parents, we all want the best for our children - a life filled with growth, learning, and meaningful experiences. Youth Travel Soccer Teams offer a pathway to precisely that. Beyond the thrill of the game and the roar of the crowd, these teams unlock a treasure trove of benefits that extend far beyond the Soccer Field. From fostering Essential Life Skills to creating lifelong friendships, being part of a Youth Travel Soccer Team can transform children into well-rounded individuals. One of the most apparent advantages of belonging to a Youth Travel Soccer Team is the improvement in Physical Health and Fitness. Regular Training Sessions and competitive matches keep children active, promoting Cardiovascular Health, strength, and agility. In a time when Childhood Obesity Rates are on the rise, Soccer provides an engaging way to keep kids moving and develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Being part of a Soccer Team instills the value of teamwork and cooperation. Players learn that success is not just about individual talent, but about how well the team works together. They develop Communication Skills, the ability to listen to others, and the art of compromise - all of which are crucial in any aspect of life, whether in Academics, the Workplace, or Personal Relationships. Youth Travel Soccer Teams often compete in Tournaments and Leagues that bring together players from Diverse Backgrounds and Cultures. This exposure fosters an appreciation for diversity, encouraging children to embrace different perspectives and build friendships with people from various walks of life. These multicultural experiences can shape open-minded and empathetic individuals. Within the team, leaders naturally emerge. Captains and experienced players take on leadership roles, guiding and motivating their peers. This sense of responsibility nurtures leadership skills that can be transferred to any sphere of life, preparing children to become confident and capable leaders in their communities and beyond. Aventura's Team The City of Aventura’s Travel Soccer Teams have available Team Member spots for interested boys and girls ages 5-16 that are willing to commit and play through the season, which runs August 2023 through May 2024. The Aventura Football Club (AFC) is the City’s official club for Travel Soccer Teams where players are placed in a team appropriate for their age group. The AFC is a member of FYSA (Florida Youth Soccer Association). With support from its Professional Coaching Staff, FYSA provides an appropriate level of development for each player, which includes learning new skills, playing on a team, gaining sportsmanship experience, and having fun. Our focus is not only on the technical and tactical aspects of the game of Soccer, but also on instilling the values of sportsmanship, discipline, and teamwork. Upon team placement, players will be expected to attend practice on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for ages 5-11 from 5:15 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. and for ages 12-16 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. with games to be scheduled locally and throughout the state of Florida. Participants must pay an initial Registration/Club Fee of $200 that includes a Soccer Affiliation with FYSA for League Games. This is a one-time fee per season. Participants must also pay Monthly Fees of $160 for Aventura Residents and $216 for Non-Residents. The Monthly Fees are broken down from a 10-Month Season that includes practices and local games. In addition to Travel Soccer Registration Fee and Monthly Fees, participants are required to pay the following Separate Payments as part of the Travel Soccer League and FYSA: • $65 payment to FYSA for Player Card and Insurance that allows participants to play in League Games and Tournaments. Tournament Fees are separate and not included. • $180 Payment for Uniforms that includes 2 Training Shirts, 2 Full Uniform Sets home and away, and a backpack. The camaraderie developed within a Soccer Team often results in lasting friendships. The shared experiences, victories, and defeats create bonds that can last a lifetime. These friendships extend beyond the soccer field, providing a support network that enriches a child's Social Life and Emotional Well-Being. All players must be approved and have the required flag for registration. Registration can be completed online at the City’s Online Registration System (ORS) by visiting: www.cityofaventura.com/ors So, whether your child aspires to become the next Soccer superstar or simply make new friends, Youth Travel Soccer Teams offer an unparalleled journey of self-discovery and growth - a journey that will forever shape their lives, both on and off the field.

Fox Vein and Laser Experts September 9, 2021 Share For years, Fox Vein and Laser Experts has been at the forefront of vein therapy and laser procedures. Around five years ago, Dr. Fox expanded the practice to include many non-invasive cutting-edge procedures such as microneedling, tattoo removal, hydrofacials, PRP, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, peels, lasers and so much more. Fox Vein & Laser Experts has been an industry leader through the years, with the best equipment and services offered. In recent times, the practice has expanded, now offering even more cutting-edge treatments. They are one of the first practices in the United States to offer Physiq and Virtue RF, two machines by Cartessa Aesthetics that provide FDA-approved, safe and non-invasive treatments that require little to no down time, aimed to help you look your very best. Physiq is the best in non-invasive body treatments to rid you of those hard-to-treat areas that weight loss and diet leave untouched. This new state-of-the-art machine uses four pads to treat multiple areas of the body at once, resulting in a leaner, more sleek and toned physique. This pain-free treatment is highly effective and has no down-time, unlike plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction. No anesthetic is necessary, and it is extremely effective and affordable. Many other body contouring machines in the industry are extremely uncomfortable and do not always have the best results. Physiq is the first to use STEP technology (Sequential Thermal and Electrical Pulse) muscle stimulation with laser lipolysis in a sequential manner with contact cooling. The patient can actually control the energy and comfort level themselves, which is the main reason why the procedure is relatively pain-free and requires no down time. It can treat multiple body parts at once, including the inner thighs, buttocks, abdominals and flanks, just to name a few. The machine, made for Cartessa by Europe’s leading laser manufacturer, Deka, is already being hailed as the newest and best in body contouring, and will quickly become an industry leader. Experts recommend five sessions, each spaced one week apart, for optimal results. The treatment sessions are faster and more comfortable than other body contouring machines. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is now offering Physiq at its Hollywood location. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is also one of the first in the country to offer the Virtue RF. This machine takes microneedling to a whole new level. It is faster, more customizable, and less painful than its predecessors. This machine uses 36 gold coated needles at one of three treatment speeds with robotic precision delivery to provide the best microneedling radiofrequency treatment in the industry. It provides immediate results with little to no down time. The results improve over time as your body continues to build collagen and elastin to improve your appearance. It is used to shrink pore size, help skin laxity, improve fine lines and wrinkles, build collagen and elastin, improve scars, especially those caused by acne, and help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It can also be used with PRP or a proprietary stem cell system to help with hair loss. Only the Virtue RF pairs the treatment with LED red or blue light to help with acne or signs of aging. The facial treatments can be followed by a microcurrent dual face mask system by Franz Skincare. This mask uses ion currents and patented Tissue X technology to transport the nourishing substances deeper into the dermis, where they help the most. The other amazing aspect of the Virtue machine is the ability to completely turn off the radiofrequency if desired. This is very helpful when we are microneedling for hair loss or on patients who have defibrillators or pacemakers. These FDA-approved machines are at the forefront of new and innovative less invasive, less painful treatment options that help you look your best for years to come. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also offers the best in tattoo removal, using Picoway by Candela. In those cases where someone may regret getting a tattoo, hope is not lost. This machine is the best tattoo removal laser on the market. It can also be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, discolorations, scars and more. The laser uses Picosecond pulses of light in various wavelengths and vibrational energy to remove the ink or benign pigmented lesions. It comes in various wavelengths to adequately treat various colors of ink and melanin on any color skin. The photo-acoustic effect minimizes the injury to the skin and tissues to just the lesion or area being treated. Tattoos and discolorations can be removed faster and with less pain than older treatments. In addition to tattoo removal, the laser can also be used for skin rejuvenation. It has a separate hand piece, known as Resolve by Picoway, which can help with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as signs of aging like darkening and age spots. The laser also helps refine tummy tuck scars, breast scars and facial scars. “We originally added the Picoway to help people rid themselves of discoloration related to their vein issues, but we use it for so much more,” said Dr. Fox. Aside from vein procedures, Fox Vein & Laser Experts also performs hair restoration with microneedling and PRP or stem cell serums. They have been a primary center in a hair regrowth trial using microneedling and AnteAge stem cell serums. The Virtue RF microneedling machine makes 36 micro-holes in the scalp with each pass. These channels allow the PRP and stem cells to be better absorbed in the areas that it is needed. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is completing a funded study of hair restoration, and so far, have seen amazing results. The patients have noticed thicker hair, even after the first few treatments. The study was designed as a six-month trial, with patients coming in every two weeks for three months, then only once monthly. In between visits, the patients are instructed to use a hair care formula by AnteAge at home. Before and after photos have been taken, which visually show the success rate. “Many people have struggled with thinning hair and hair loss from stress, aging, medications, Covid-19, illness, etc., and this has been so helpful," said Dr. Fox. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also has a full-time aesthetician on staff, Samantha. She has experience providing peels, facials, and laser hair removal for more than a decade. She performs all types of cutting-edge facials, peels, jelly masks, hydrofacials, aquagold and more. Samantha is here to help make your skin look and feel youthful and amazing, regardless of your age. Whatever your skin and body goals, Samantha can help you achieve them. Fox Vein & Laser Experts has been a leader in vein treatment and care for over 20 years, with a focus on venous insufficiency, endovenous laser, sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, phlebectomies, ultrasound guided therapies and so much more. The team is able to treat your skin, veins, and body issues with the best, newest and most cutting- edge machines and procedures available. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is an industry leader in their procedures and techniques, and always has something exciting going on to offer their patients.
