Witness the future of medical aesthetics
CARLSBAD — BodiSculpt has long been a
premiere spot for North
County residents looking to
improve their appearance
through weight-loss technology and other nonsurgical procedures. Now they
have expanded their offerings, and are a full-service
medical spa on the cutting
edge of the industry.
“We’re doing things
now that San Diego has never seen before,” Manager
Mindi Zehnder said. While
BodiSculpt has always delivered measurable results
for their clients, Zehnder
said exciting new technologies offer even more drastic
improvements.
One service that has
become extremely popular all over the world is
CoolSculpting, which literally freezes stubborn fat in
its tracks. “You hook up the
CoolSculpting machine to
the body part that is problematic,” Zehnder said. “It
uses cold energy to per-
manently destroy the fat
cells.” Among the benefits
of CoolSculpting are there
are no needles, no special diets, and no surgery
required. And with zero
downtime, clients are able
to get back to their busy
lives immediately following
the procedure.
The high demand for
CoolSculpting means that
it is readily available. BodiSculpt, however, ups the
game with the use of some
exclusive and new technology. “With CoolSculpting,
clients see results in eight
weeks,” Zehnder said.
“But at BodiSculpt we pair
CoolSculpting with another
technology and we offer our
clients results in just three
weeks!”
Not only will the results
be faster, they will also be
better. “Our clients also
enjoy a 20 percent better
result than if they had just
done CoolSculpting alone.”
Beyond the advancements in weight-loss tech-

the latest in cosmetic injectables. “We’re offering
filler facials that reduce
the amount of Botox used,”
Zehnder said. Brow lifts
that don’t use Botox are also
available.
Also new to BodiSculpt
is hair growth and restoration. “We have added nonsurgical hair growth and
restoration, that requires
no down time,” Zehnder
said. “We guarantee that
after one treatment a client gets 150 new hairs per
square inch. Not only that,
our clients see a 50 percent
reduction in gray hair, and
20 percent thicker, more vibrant hair.”
Zehnder added that

much, they offer a 100 percent guarantee. “We offer a
lifetime guarantee on laser
hair removal and clients
will be hair free within six
months,” Zehnder said.
The BodiSculpt team is
excited to share everything
they offer with the community during an all-day open
house on April 25. “We are
going to be doing live dem-
os of all of our services,”
Zehnder said. “We are also
doing prize giveaways, and
anyone who comes will
be entered into our grand
prize, a $10,000 “Mommy Makeover.’” If people
RSVP, they will receive
complimentary Fraxel.
“We are also launching
our new ambassador program,” Zehnder said. “This
is a way for our clients to
receive free services.” The
presentation for the ambassador program will be held
at noon.
BodiSculpt’s
open
house will be held from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. April 25 at
5650 El Camino Real in

A helping hand leads to a valuable and caring friendship
SOLANA BEACH —
Asking for help is never
easy. Especially for a man
like Dr. Peter Esteran, who
spent a career caring for
others. With his grown sons
living in the midwest, and
having lost his wife four
years earlier, Esteran found
himself finally ready to accept a helping hand.
Kathryn
Johnston,
owner of Seniors Helping
Seniors San Diego North
County, was contacted by
Esteran’s family nearly two
years ago. At the time Es-
ers that he got along well
with, but when he met John
Martin, the match had been
made.
Esteran, 91, took an immediate shine to Martin, 62.
“He is a very likeable person,” he said.
Martin lives just a few
miles away from the assisted living facility Esteran
now lives in. They get together at least once a week
to do Esteran’s shopping,
go to doctors appointments
and do other errands. When
time permits, the two like to
also cared for a terminally
ill colleague of mine. He
had no family. I took care
of his needs. I was with him
every day for about the last
six months of his life.”
In their many visits together, Esteran has learned
a lot about Martin’s extensive background in helping
others. “He’s had a very
interesting life and has accomplished a lot of good,”
Esteran said. “And that’s in
addition to his relationship
with me.”
Martin had plenty of

the importance of allowing Esteran to maintain his
dignity and humanity, but
while also in keeping him
safe.“We love telling each
other stories,” Martin said.
“I tell him about myself,
and he tells me about his
background. He was a doctor, but he was also part of
the U.S. Army during the
D-Day invasion of France.

Maximizing your Social Security benefits
The Social Security Act of
1935 ensured that hard working
Americans would have income to
support them during retirement.
Over time, Social Security may
have reduced worries about
retirement to the point that many
people don’t give their Social
Security a second thought.
With a little planning,
you can receive more in Social
Security benefits than expected
as well as learn how to leverage
other sources of income for
retirement. Social Security is not
straight forward for most people.
In fact, there are strategies
you can employ to maximize
the benefits you are eligible to
receive – particularly among
married, divorced and widowed
individuals.
Please join us for a Private
Social Security Workshop at the
Crossings Golf Course, where
you will be provided with critical
informationtohelpyoumaximize
your Social Security benefits.
Important Social Security facts
to be covered in the workshop
include; What is the current
status of Social Security? When
is the optimal time for you to start
collecting Social Security? How
can you maximize benefits for
yourself and your spouse? What
are delayed retirement credits?
How can you coordinate Social
Security benefits with other
retirement assets to maximize
your retirement income?
This FREE informative
workshop will be held at The
Crossings At Carlsbad at 5800

TESTIMONIALS
‘What Advertisers Say About Us.”
Kevin & Malin Lovquist-Doyle
Owners
Craig Weatherwax
Oceanside Photo & Telescope
“We’ve been getting
3-4 people a week
going out of their way
to mention the ads. It’s
not often that we are
able to directly quantify the value of our ad
spending, but this latest campaign is a very
happy exception.”
“We do a huge worldwide on-line business,
but when I want to
reach out to my local
customers there is no
better vehicle than
the Coast News. The
personal touch they
embrace is the same
way I have built my
business, so it’s a great
match.”

“The Coast News provides us with the opportunity to efficiently
target our market for
our sellers. It also has
a longer “shelf life”
than other newspapers
that we utilize. Our
marketing director
finds the staff at the
paper to be very responsive and helpful.”
