Collaboration with Beachwood, High School Senior Marketing Class.

Results are in:
When it Comes to Skin Health, Teens Hear but Don’t Listen.

Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery is proud to be located in Beachwood, OH.

Dr. Michelow has a strong commitment to this forward looking city and has been a long-time member of Beachwood’s Chamber of Commerce. Therefore our office was excited to mentor the Beachwood High School Senior’s marketing class in a unique project.

As a well-regarded cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon, Dr. Michelow has removed and reconstructed many skin cancers ranging from basal cell carcinoma to deadly melanomas. He is convinced that to ensure that you have healthy skin that will last a lifetime, skincare must begin early.

Teenagers must be made aware of the dangers of smoking, tanning booths and sunburn.

As a sponsor of Mrs. Jean’s Getz’s marketing class, Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery’s staff learned how teens think about their skin. The marketing class conducted focus groups with 55 teenagers ranging in age from 14 to 18 years old.

The findings:

Although teens hear the message that tanning can be dangerous to their skin, can lead to skin cancer and early aging later in life, they are not listening.

The majority of teens continued to visit tanning booths and to use sunscreen only on vacation.

In addition to conducting focus groups, the high schooler’s secondary research revealed that

Teens do what their friends do…

They offered an outstanding marketing campaign with a slogan – “Bold, Healthy Skin for Life.”

The class will be presenting their project to the Beachwood School Board, on April 11, 2011.

Paying it forward by giving back

Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery partners with

Beachwood High School to educate

the future generation about

skincare and the dangers of sun damage.

Help us contribute to a highly worthwhile educational cause.

How fortunate can one be, having a Plastic Surgery practice in a city with an
outstanding school district such as Beachwood City Schools.

The Beachwood High Schools’ marketing program taught by Jean Getz is a fine example
of an educational experience that contributes to the district’s glowing reputation.

The popular marketing class draws high school students from Beachwood, Chagrin Falls
and West Geauga. Acting as both a marketing and an advertising agency, students are
able to obtain first hand, real-life experience by providing solutions to area
businesses. Students who show interest in marketing are selected to participate in the class. As
a team, they choose the company for which they would like to perform research and
develop a marketing plan.

I am honored to announce the class has chosen Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery and our
products for their current research and promotion develop program..
At an introductory meeting with the students last week, we proposed the following
challenges:

1. How do we promote healthy skincare habits and the use of sunscreen to teens
   and young adults?
2. How do we get the word out that melanoma is the second most common cancer
   affecting teens? Protecting the skin with sunscreen is a simple and effective means
   of preventing Melanoma.
3. Acne is a teens nemesis. How can a practitioner educate teens about the
   management of a serious condition that may lead to scarring,
   disfigurement and personal embarrassment.

We are looking forward to the recommendations this bright group of teenagers will
provide. Their findings will be presented at a Deca (marketing) in Orlando, Florida.

In exchange for their hard work, Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery will make a
contribution to the program.

You too can be a part of this worthwhile educational cause.

Visit our office for any skincare, Botulinum toxin or dermal filler service and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Beachwood High School.

This promotion will continue until the end of the semester when the Beachwood High School marketing program ends.

Call 216.595.6800 to join us in this exciting venture that will help young people
maintain the “health and beauty of their skin” for a lifetime.
