Important Client Update:
Dear Clients!
I wanted to share an important update with you so that everyone has plenty of notice and time to plan accordingly.
Upcoming Surgery Notice
Many of you know that two years ago I had surgery on my left hand. I’ve been putting off much-needed surgery on my right hand because it requires wearing a hard cast for six weeks, which will completely limit my ability to work—and honestly, I just didn’t want to do it. It was originally supposed to happen last summer, but between my procrastination and all of your laser needs, I kept pushing it off.
The truth is, the cortisone shots have only provided short-term relief, so I finally took a deep breath and scheduled the surgery for 07.30.26.
Dr. Polatsch is the best at what he does, and while he initially told me there were no shortcuts when it came to healing and cast time, he recently mentioned he may be able to use screws instead of pins—which could reduce the cast time to five weeks. Either way, I wanted to give everyone plenty of notice.
Please take a look at your calendars and schedule your appointments accordingly. For clients who don't tan, or those treating areas that won’t be exposed to the sun, booking an appointment right before my surgery will help keep you on track with your treatments :-)
My last day of work will be 07.27.26
Thank you, as always, for your patience, support, and loyalty.
It means more than you know!
With gratitude, Donna
