LifeStyle Lift….

What is the LifeStyle Lift? I found myself staring at the TV saying, “What is this?”….You know you have probably channel surfed and have paused at the infomercials showing the “LifeStyle Lift.” Working alongside a Plastic Surgeon I found myself dissecting the commercial to determine what procedure they were actually showing or better yet, not showing.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I called for an information packet. I spoke to a person in the call center who stated in a very scripted voice that she […]

Why are my lashes so thin???

Why are my eyebrows and lashes so thin? It’s a question that I hear at least once a day from my clients. They wonder why their lashes and/or brows have thinned so dramatically as they have aged. It is an unfortunate part of aging that we lose much of our lash volume by the time we are 35 and it continues to progress as we age. If you were lucky enough to have had thick lush lashes than the decrease won’t be as noticeable, however if you didn’t start with much the decrease will be more noticeable.

If The Eyes Are The Window To Your Soul, What Are Your’s Saying?

One of the most common complaints I hear from my clients is in regards to their eyes. Often they have heard from others that they look sick or tired, even when they are feeling well and rested. As we age, we discover that one of the most noticeable changes to our appearance involves the eye area. Usually, the origin of such unwanted comments is typically the nonverbal messages the eye area sends as we age. There are many causes of dark circles under the eye including vitamin deficiency, dark pigment, or loss of volume by which underlying vessels show. Dark pigment is usually attributed to sun exposure over a lifetime. […]
