Frankfort IL Med Spa Offers Anti-aging Special

May 15th, 2012

Aging is inevitable; however, you don’t necessarily have to let the world know your age!

Not when you take advantage of the longest-lasting FDA-approved facial filler. And May 22, 2012 is a great day to do it to save money and perk up your face. It’s the day that Sofia’s Med Spa & Beauty Oasis will be holding an Artefill®* Day from 10 am to 6 pm at 10293 W. Lincoln Highway, Frankfort.

“It is such an exhilarating feeling that envelopes me when I see the results that Artefill makes possible,” said Sophie Simeakis-Borrelli, D.O, medical director. “The end product frequently exceeds even my expectations.”

Dr. Simeakis-Borrelli, affectionately known as Dr. Sophie, is a cosmetic doctor specializing in facial rejuvenation. Her patients echo her exhilaration.

“I had Artefill injected around my mouth, and I’ve regained the dimples I used to have when I smiled. Unbelievable!” said one of her “older” patients.

Another said: “Dr. Sophie is a sculptor. She molds my face like a potter molds clay. I look at myself in the mirror much more often these days!’

Call Sofia’s Med Spa at 815-806-9657 for more details and to schedule your appointment. A few spots still remain. Visit www.sofiamedspa.com for more information about the spa’s other services and products.

Sofia’s Med Spa is an Artefill Center of Excellence and as Chicago’s premiere Artefill artisan, Dr. Sophie combines the dermal filler with laser treatments to perform nonsurgical face lifts comparable to plastic surgery … without having to “go under the knife.” This means less downtime, less pain and lower costs for patients.

Frankfort IL Spa Offers Artefill Special to get rid of Wrinkles

March 8th, 2012

Would you like to spring forward yet turn back time this month?

This weekend we set our clocks forward an hour to take advantage of more sunlight at the end of the day. Later this month, March 22 to be exact, is when you can turn back what sunlight and age have done to your face. It’s the day that Sofia’s Med Spa & Beauty Oasis will be holding an Artefill®* Day featuring the longest-lasting dermal filler from 10 am – 6 pm at 10293 W. Lincoln Highway, Frankfort.

“Artefill is in a class by itself,” said Sophie Simeakis-Borrelli, D.O, medical director. “It’s a dual-acting wrinkle filler. I inject it deep below a wrinkle so that the collagen in Artefill can act as temporary filler for immediate correction. Then more magic happens because as your body absorbs the collagen over time, the microspheres remain in place. Your own body generates new collagen that is deposited on the surface of the microspheres. This new collagen provides the long-lasting effects,” Dr. Simeakis-Borrelli added.

Dr. Simeakis-Borrelli, affectionately known as Dr. Sophie, is a cosmetic doctor specializing in facial rejuvenation. And she is in a class by herself. I’ve spoken with women and men who have had other doctors inject Artefill with less than spectacular results. Then they found Dr. Sophie!

“I had no bruising. I literally went right back to the office! In the past, I had to take several days off,” said one of the men. A woman said, “OMG, she is like a sculptor working with clay except that the finished product is a more beautiful you rather than pottery. She is an esthetic artist!”

On March 22 the spa is offering special savings on Artefill. The first injection will be priced at $800 with the next three at $700 each or $3,500 for a package of five syringes. Scheduling is by appointment only. For more information and to schedule, contact Nicole Vainisi at 815-806-9657 or Nicole.vainisi@gmail.com. Visit www.sofiasmedspa.com for more information about the spa’s other services and products.

Sofia’s Med Spa is an Artefill Center of Excellence and as Chicago’s premiere Artefill artisan, Dr. Sophie combines the dermal filler with laser treatments to perform nonsurgical face lifts comparable to plastic surgery … without having to “go under the knife.” This means less downtime, less pain and lower costs for patients.

Remember … March is the time to spring forward and turn back time simultaneously.

2012 Chicago Networking Event Gains New Sponsor

March 7th, 2012

I’m delighted that the Small Business Advocacy Council (SBAC) has become a sponsor of the 11th Greater Chicago Networking Extravaganza (GCNE).

SBAC was begun by Elliot Richardson, a Chicago attorney and small business advocate, to give small business owners, their employees and those with whom they conduct business a voice in local, state and federal politics. Additionally, the group offers its members networking, advertising and promotional opportunities.

Our primary audience for the extravaganza is small and mid-sized companies so we are pleased to have the support of an organization that is well-known in the Chicago area for advocating for these businesses. SBAC continues to build alliances and spread its influence throughout the Chicagoland area, which dovetails with our mission. We attract city and suburban business people who want to take advantage of the relationship-building opportunities the GCNE offers.

The GCNE will be from 5:30 – 8:30 pm May 23 at the Metropolitan Club and will feature informative, interactive presentations by event co-producers, Lillian Bjorseth and Jason Jacobsohn, as well as a panel who will discuss how they leverage networking to help others and to grow their businesses.

She joins Elliot Richardson, an attorney and founder of Chicagoland’s fastest-growing advocacy group for small and mid-market businesses: the Small Business Advocacy Counsel.
