We are often approached by men and women wondering how to improve the sagging skin on their neck and jowls.  Very few patients have such significantly lax facial and neck skin that they require plastic surgery.  Most patients would benefit from a non-invasive skin tightening procedure, without the risks or expense of surgery.  For those patients, we offer Ultherapy.

Dear Cathy, I have almost no eyebrows and have to draw them on everyday, which takes me quite a while trying to get them to look somewhat even. Every day is a different look, and to be honest I am tired of drawing them on, but, permanent makeup has always scared me. What if I don’t like it or I want a different color as my hair color changes? 

In this ever-changing world, we can be the light.  We can shine our light if we choose to, on situations, or people, and even inward to ourselves when needed.  Sometimes it isn’t easy to stay in that powerful optimistic place, sometimes it takes realignment, and dedication to re-programming our mind. 

Whether you are a girl or a guy, whether you are a young adult or an older one, we all want our complexions to be the best they can be. Having a series of photo facials may just be the answer to our desires. They are simple, easy, and work very, very well.

If you have ever loved and lost a pet, you know how strong the emotional bond is that you create with your furry family member. In fact there are many people who spend much more on grooming and pampering for their pets than they do themselves!

September is the time when most teens look forward to getting back to school. Summer has been fun, but it’s nice to reunite with friends and classmates that we haven’t been in contact with for a couple of months. It’s also good to get back into a regular routine and have a bit more structure after all of the freedom (and sometimes a bit of boredom) that this season provides.

It’s never too early to get a jump start on revamping your fall wardrobe and finding those to-die for fall trends that you absolutely can’t live without. I realize that fall has not yet approached and it may take awhile, especially in California where summer weather tends to drag on, but don’t let the heat stop you from buying them.

Fall is almost here.  Have you always dreamed of long luxurious hair or do you have a bad haircut that needs some help while it grows out?  The best way to achieve the results you are looking for is with hair extensions.  Look great this fall with your long flowing hair by booking your consultation today.

A good massage helps your body increase its blood circulation so that the body can send more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.  Massage animates the lymph system and saves your body from the toxic elements produced by the inactive body.  Massage prepares the human body to produce endorphins which ultimately help in reducing the pain.  It is also helpful in treating chronic illness, injury and surgical recovery. 

Whether you’re heading back to school or just want to rethink your wardrobe this fall, these top five styles will be a hit:
1. Summer dresses made for fall: Take those comfy throw-on summer dresses and add a cardigan or blazer to dress it up. This is one way to keep wearing those bright colors and floral prints you’ve loved all summer long. Just because the fall season is here doesn’t mean you can’t add in a bit of color here and there.

“With the passport of desire on the wings of a Controlled imagination she traveled into the future of her own predetermined experience.”
This quote rang true to my heart when I first read it, however, over time it has become clearer to me the magnitude of these words.  I have spoken much about the power of our thinking, of taking time to still our minds, so that something else besides that internal chatter can come forth and create better things in our lives. 

Many have heard of and even tried Brazilian Blowout, but what exactly is it? It is a keratin based hair smoothing treatment that was first pioneered in Brazil. It was developed as a hair straightening/smoothing treatment that doesn’t burn skin or scalp. Depending on the texture, thickness and condition of the hair the treatment can have more of a smoothing or straightening effect. The more damaged and processed the hair is the longer the treatment takes. 

Consider Bangs – If your hair is thin at the crown but still thick in front, try bangs to create a fuller look. To go a step further, when coloring I will take a slice of hair underneath the bangs and color it two shades darker than the rest of your hair color. When you bring the top layer of fringe down over it, your bangs will look thicker because of the deeper color underneath.

Moms to be are familiar with being a little achy, uncomfortable and, let’s be honest, out of sorts. But unlike those middle-of-the-night kicks to the lungs, you can do something about it. Prenatal massage, which is tailored specifically to the needs of the pregnant body, can make you feel like yourself again. Discover five of the hands-on benefits.

If you hate shaving, are tired of putting up with painful waxing, tweezing, or depilatory creams, we have a better answer! All of the time spent removing unwanted facial or body hair can be avoided with laser hair removal. Getting rid of unwanted hair can be painful and time consuming. Until now, the only options for removing unwanted hair were tedious and temporary. Laser hair removal offers a much better approach.

Dear Cathy, I see your ad a lot for your “Take 10” (years off that is) and I would love to take 10 years off and while you’re at it, 10 pounds off, too!  So what is it and would it work for me? I am 58 and have never done much to my skin so I’m worried it might be just too late? 

Do you want a lot of volume while keeping hair shiny and flexibility?  You can achieve amazing results by “cocktailing” your hair products, adding color and getting the right cut to help your hair swell to desired fullness, yet remain soft and flowing.

It’s back to school time and you want to look your best hitting the hallowed halls of your school. If you are waging a battle with acne then you should know your options in the fight for clear skin.
First off, it is not clear why some people get acne and others are less prone to it.
