Hi [redacted] –
Now that the marathon is over, many runners are finally having time to asses the traumas and start dealing with them. But many women visit an aesthetics doctors more often than the orthopedist. Women who run marathons might be in terrific shape, but strenuous training robs many of their soft feminine facial features, leaving them looking gaunt, tired and old beyond their years.
One of the most popular ways to address this problem is by injecting Sculptra – a dermal filler first developed for facial wasting in immunodeficiency patients and now FDA approved for aesthetic use. The result is women who are in perfect shape and haven’t had to sacrifice their femininity to be that way.
“Sculptra is a wonderful tool for adding natural-looking and lasting volume to facial features,” says Dr. [redacted]. “Marathon runners sacrifice so much to be able to compete at a high level – we’re happy to make it so that healthy, natural looking facial features aren’t on that list.”
Another issue many runners face is tortured feet. Sculptra can help here as well, through an innovative technique of injecting this dermal filler into the balls of runners’ feet, providing additional cushioning where they need it most. This method is clinically tested to be safe and show quick improvement.
“Marathon runners exemplify what people can achieve when they set their minds to something,” [redacted] says. “We are very excited that now medical aesthetics can alleviate some of the problems associated with long distance running and keep our patients who run looking and feeling great.”
Let me know if you’d interested in more information or a brief call with [redacted].
Thanks,
