Palm Springs, CA Cosmetic Dermatology Practice Featured in "100 Best Spas" Guide

    INDIAN WELLS, CA, March 27, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nestled in the Southern California desert, the Medical and Skin Spa (www.medicalandskinspa.com) at Hyatt Grand Champions Resort provides an oasis of seclusion, cosmetic skin treatments, soothing fountains, and fine foods. Founded by Richard M. Foxx, MD, this Palm Springs, CA area cosmetic dermatology practice combines the luxury of a full-service resort spa with the skin rejuvenation possibilities of a medical practice. Dr. Foxx credits this unique blend of luxury and practicality for the many accolades the practice has won, including a coveted place in the third edition of the "100 Best Spas of the World," by Bernard Burt and Pamela Joy Price.

"Many women and men would love to spend the day at a spa - lounging by the pool, eating a delicious meal, getting a massage. Many of these same men and women are also interested in improving their appearance with cosmetic treatments. Yet few spas are available to accommodate both of these goals. That's why my practice is so special and why we've been featured in the '100 Best Spas,'" says Dr. Foxx. "Relaxation and rejuvenation together - it's a beautiful thing."

The "100 Best Spas of the World" lists top spas from over 30 countries, carefully chosen based on factors such as ambience, treatments, and overall experience. The Medical and Skin Spa truly rises above the competition when it comes to treatments, with Dr. Foxx offering medically-sound cosmetic skin care procedures for Palm Springs, Palm Desert and other California residents who want substantial results. Some of these treatments include BOTOX Cosmetic, laser hair removal, Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing, vein treatments, dermal planing and microdermabrasion - just to name a few.

"All the wonderful amenities of the spa wouldn't mean a thing if the quality of the care we provide didn't measure up," explains Dr. Foxx. "The fact is, people keep returning to my practice because they get beautiful results, results that look natural yet win many compliments. I feel fortunate to have assembled a talented and committed team who share my vision of health and beauty, inside and out."

The Medical and Skin Spa is an award-winning practice, with recognition not limited solely to the "100 Best Spas" book. In 2009, the practice won the Silver Sage Award from Spa Magazine based on a poll of over 100,000 readers. The practice was named as the Favorite Medical/Wellness spa, not just in Southern California, but in the entire country. The Medical and Skin Spa has also been featured in Dune Magazine, Palm Springs Life, Spafinder, Spa Magazine, Day Spa, The Desert Sun, The Toronto Star, The San Diego Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, L.A. Confidential, and Medical Spa Magazine.
