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 Goal Of Dr. Chander Gupta Is Keeping His Patients Healthy Through Modern Dentistry April 24, 2022 Share Dr. Chander Gupta of Brighten Dental Care in Dania Beach takes a holistic approach to his practice. “By correcting alignment, filling gaps with precision by ensuring the correct fit of bridges, crowns and dentures, providing prophylactic cleaning and scaling, oral cancer screening and assessing the level of bacteria and viruses in a patient’s mouth with state-of-the art technology, we are able to be a partner in maintaining the overall health of our patients,” he says. “During the past thirty years, he continues, “I have seen patients with terrible oral problems, some of their own making by neglect of proper care or inability to seek proper treatment, but some have even been victims of poor workmanship in the past. Although I enjoy all aspects of dental care and improvement, undertaking these challenges bring me the most satisfaction in my work.” Dr. Gupta is referring to improving dental health not only through prophylaxis, but also by replacing missing teeth with implants, bridges or partials, repairing existing ones with fillings or caps and improving alignment with the newest innovation in braces called Invisalign®. Invisalign® braces are clear, removable aligners made of a flexible thermoplastic material, that when carefully fitted and following instructions, gradually will straighten a patient’s teeth and bite. There are no brackets or wires, and the appliance has none of the restrictions or discomfort that is associated with metal braces. “Not only is Invisalign® hardly noticeable,” says Dr. Gupta, “but it is an effective correction device for any age, from teens to the elderly.” Dr. Gupta has the technology to perform screenings to detect early mouth cancers and provide DNA testing of saliva to identify bacterial population in order to determine if more extensive periodontal work may be needed. Dr. Gupta says that most people don’t realize how influential the health of their mouth is on their entire body. “Our mouths harbor microorganisms like bacteria and viruses that can invade our hearts, lungs and nervous system. Not only do those microorganisms affect the individual, but they can easily be spread from person to person through kissing, sharing, even droplets through sneezing, coughing, shouting and singing, as we recently have been warned regarding the spread of Covid-19.” He adds that even if an individual is diligent in their personal dental care, the foods and beverages that enter their mouths contribute to the human biome that affects the entire body. Therefore, he recommends that regular dental checkups should be part of any health regime. Dr. Gupta points out that most people have tooth loss today due to tooth decay, periodontal disease or traumatic injury. Although bridges between existing teeth may fill the gap, they are not always a feasible solution. In those cases, Dr. Gupta recommends dental implants to totally replace one, multiple or all missing teeth by creating a prosthetic root with the fusion of a titanium or zirconium screw into the jaw and attaching customized matching teeth to become a permanent fixture, just like your own teeth. “Removable dentures is an option in replacing full or partial tooth loss,” he says, “but they often can be problematic, especially for older patients whose gums slowly continue to shrink.” At that point, he notes that dentures begin to slip and the individual tends to use more denture adhesive, which ultimately gets swallowed and that is not good for their health. He says, “ill-fitting dentures create sore spots on the gum line.” He continues by saying that the patient then self-medicates with an over-the-counter oral anesthetic like Orajel® that numbs the gum, but does nothing to heal the sore. He explains that infection can then easily set into the open wound. The patient then cannot chew properly which upsets their stomach and ultimately takes a toll on his or her health and general well-being. “Proper fitting and continued monitoring are critical in all phases of dentistry,” he continues, “so this is an absolute criterion in service to my patients.” Dr. Gupta says that he and the labs he works with are fastidious in their fittings and follow up care. Another service that Dr. Gupta provides is related to snoring and sleep apnea. He can perform testing in his office that provides critical information to be sent to a sleep specialist for evaluation. Based on their recommendation, he can fit a patient with mild to moderate sleep apnea a customized oral orthotic device that now can replace a bulky C-PAP mask and machine. Degreed as a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery), Dr. Gupta performs dental surgery in his office, which is outfitted with state-of-the-art technology including surgical laser equipment. “Even with all of that,” says Dr. Gupta, “most important to us is that we treat our patients as if they are our own family members and provide quality dentistry with reasonable fees.” Dr. Gupta says that his office staff is happy to accommodate the patient with appointments, help complete insurance forms and arrange for various payment plan options including Care Credit and Lending Club. Our Health Care Coordinator, Miss Chandrally Mahajan, MPH (master’s in public health, Epidemiology) has a strong belief in educating the public about Oral Health and its connection to Overall Health. She is a speaker at local civic organizations, schools and frequent guest speaker on the Steve Kane Radio talk show on WNN 1470AM discussing preventive aspects of COVID-19 Epidemic. She assures that our office follows OSHA and CDC guidelines. “As a professional team,” Dr. Gupta says,” the goal of my staff and I is to help keep our patients healthy and continue to enjoy their Bright Smiles.” Dr. Chander Gupta DDS; MAGD Brighten Dental Care 129 E.

Candice J, Renee, New Horse Owner Wins Her First Race at Gulfstream By Marylynne Newmark July 28, 2021 Share Can you imagine the exhilaration for a brand new horse owner to win her first race at Gulfstream Park on a newly purchased thoroughbred? The thrill for Candice J. Renee (known throughout Gulfstream Park as C J,) was totally electric! This happened on June 30th. Ten Pin Ally, C J’s 3-year-old filly, started slow at 6 lengths off the lead, striding from behind, passing every horse, with jockey Victor Lebron cleverly edging her in along the rail to steal the finish. Wow! “Standing in the Winner’s Circle alongside my beautiful young champion was unbelievable,” said C J,“ yielding a challenging and calculated delivery in a bad weather situation.” C J credits the experience and sixth sense of trainer Joe Orseno in guiding her decision to race Ally that rainy day. Orseno, a thoroughbred trainer who operates from Stable 19 at Gulfstream Park, is a winner in his own right. As a trainer, he is credited with around 2000 victories since 1986, training horses that won at races that include the Pennsylvania Governor’s Cup, the Delaware Handicap, the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge, the Pimlico Special, the Pennsylvania Derby and the Massachusetts Handicap. His winning horses for the American Classics Breeders Cup include the Preakness Stakes, Breeders Cup Juvenile and the Breeders Club Filly & Mare Turf. For additional information, contact orsenoracing@hotmail.com . “We are lucky to have a talent like Joe here in Gulfstream Park,” says C J. “I met him years ago, and it was Joe who inspired me to follow my dream of thoroughbred ownership.” When C J first moved to Hallandale from New Jersey in the 1970s, aside from the glamour of the times and beautiful weather, she discovered the excitement of thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream. She became a regular, both as a spectator and wagering enthusiast. When Gulfstream Park completed its transformation as a major entertainment center in 2019, C J’s enthusiasm grew even more, and she aspired to become a horse owner in order to have a vested interest in the race. Her eagerness in owning and racing brought her closer to Orseno, who began giving her pointers on how to select racers. “There’s so much to learn,” she said. “He showed me how to read a race, rate the speed, check the pedigree and evaluate critical factors in the horse like bone structure, muscle tone, balance, movement and manners. Then, he turned me on to claiming races.” In a claiming race, all of the participating horses are for sale. Prospective buyers commit to the asking price for a particular horse before the race and place their name with proof of financial commitment in a box. If there is only one bidder, he or she gets the horse. If there are several bidders, one name is drawn from the shake as the winner, and the horse is theirs. “You don’t have to be a millionaire to own a thoroughbred,” says C J. “However, it is a gamble. You can buy a young thoroughbred for as little as $10,000, and he or she can become a champion racer, or you can buy one for close to a million dollars and the horse may not be a winner at all. But, like any business,” she adds,“ that’s the risk you take in racing.” The years have been good for C J, both as a private consultant for emerging start-up companies and a series of good investments. So, this year she decided to follow her dream. With Joe’s recommendation, C J purchased Ten Pin Ally in a claiming race of young Kentucky-bred horses. Ally’s sire was Air Force Blue, a Triple G1- Winning Champion, who at 2 years was considered the best in Europe in his age group. Her dam was Allyallyincomefree from a lineage of champions. Another horse she recently purchased under Joe’s advice is a colt named Billy Yank by Union Rags out of ‘Tis Now. He is currently being prepared to race later this month at Gulfstream. C J is in the process of acquiring several other young colts and fillies for Joe to train and plans to buy more. Aside from being licensed as a thoroughbred horse owner in Florida, C J is currently applying for similar licenses in New York and New Jersey that will enable her to race her horses in Belmont, Aqueduct, Monmouth, Meadowlands and Freehold. “Standing next to Ten Pin Ally in the Winner’s Circle was one of the most thrilling moments in my life,” says CJ. “And I look forward to making a business out of experiencing that thrill again from my growing bevy of majestic beauties.” C J is an avid reader, and for those who would like to know more about racing, she recommends the book “May the Horse Be With You: Pack at the Track” by Harvey Pack and Peter Fornatale, and to tune in to the series “Luck” featuring Dustin Hoffman on HBO. “I promise that you will learn a great deal about this industry,” she says. “You can find me at Gulfstream almost every day visiting my beautiful horses,” says C J.” When there, I enjoy watching the races from the window of Ten Palms, where I enjoy the food and gracious hospitality of both host Charles and hostess Michelle,” “Horse racing is the Sport of Kings,” says CJ, “and I encourage everyone to share the thrill and camaraderie of the race… and especially the win…. right here on Federal Highway, at beautiful Gulfstream Park.“ < Previous News Next News >
