A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates and tightens the soft tissues of the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. While minimally invasive in nature, it can produce dramatic effects on your appearance.

By reversing the effects of gravity and raising the drooping eyebrows, a brow lift will restore your natural vibrancy, giving you a more alert and refreshed appearance.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that involves interruption of breathing during sleep. Thousands of people throughout Los Angeles suffer from Sleep apnea and have no idea.

As a result, sleep apnea patients may experience frequent headaches, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness.
A vampire facial is a combination of microneedling Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from the whole blood after it has been processed by spinning in a centrifuge to remove the red cells. The PRP is a greater concentration of growth factors than the whole blood itself. These growth factors are what our cells make that can help tissue heal and repair, which means it can help with a wide variety of healing treatments.

In 1992 the fashionable trend was to have a small waist and big breasts. A big butt was seen as unflattering so women did all the calisthenics they could to lose weight and have a smaller butt. That was until Sir Mix A Lot released “Baby Got Back” and pleaded with women to “Please don’t lose that butt.” Ladies were doing the side bends and sit ups but were avoiding squats and hip thrusts.
