(Phoenix, Arizona) – On Monday, May 4, 2009 Derma Health Institute will expand its offices into the Paradise Valley area. Located at 10214 N. Tatum Boulevard, Suite B-300, this office marks the fourth Derma Health Institute location in the Valley.

Recently honored by Arizona Woman Magazine as one of the Top 10 Med Spas in the valley, Derma Health Institute is a physician-based medical center specializing in non-invasive and minimally invasive laser and aesthetic procedures.  Derma Health Institute offers services such as the new hCG Ultimate Fat Burning Diet, VelaShape body contouring and cellulite removal, microdermabrasion, photo facials, laser resurfacing and laser hair removal.

“We are extremely fortunate that in this economy; where companies are closing their doors and having to layoff employees, we are able to expand our business, open new offices and create job opportunities,” said Trish Gulbranson Derma Health Institute owner.  “We have already added 12 new jobs this year and to date our business is up 16% over last year.”

Gulbranson attributes the sales increase to the rise in requests for non-invasive procedures like Botox and fillers.  “Tough economic times have caused a decline in plastic surgery revenues; however, our figures show patients are visiting Derma Health Institute for things like Botox 2.9 times a year which is more than twice the national average of 1.3 times annually.  Our revenue has increased 71% for these types of procedures over the past year. Revenue is also up due to fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.”

In 2008 Derma Health Institute was honored as a Diamond Level provider of Botox® and Juvederm™ by Allergen, the company that produces the products, and was recognized as one of the largest providers of these procedures in the state of Arizona.

The Paradise Valley Derma Health Institute offers top-of-the-line care performed exclusively by Dr. Laurie Moody and her team of four trained, licensed and certified medical and aesthetic professionals.
