FALL's TOP 3
This fall's trend guides have already hit the streets. Summed up? Lush, thick hair that's more undone than done up; bold, slightly unkempt brows; and glow-from-within skin.
Thicker, Longer "Undone" Hair - with Help
From Goop to Glamour, the trendsetters have spoken: less is more when it comes to styling this fall... but don't skimp on the strands. That means less time curling and flat ironing - and more extensions. Why? High-end designer extensions provide more than length; you'll benefit from a boost to the body of your hair, too, helping your "look" look deliciously undone and simultaneously flawless.

Bold Brows with just a Bit of "Bush"
The pinpoint-perfect brow is over for now and in its place: a bolder, bushier brow. It's younger, more playful - and still needs a pro's hand. Trim longer hairs so they don't lay over and flatten others; this brow is styled upwards towards the forehead. Honor that arch, too - it'll make eyes appear bigger - but don't overdo it. You want polished - not perfection.

The Hydrafacial is Skincare Happiness
Craving the facial that has a cult following? You aren't alone. People everywhere are stunned that in only 30 minutes, they're waving goodbye to their skincare pro with plumper, more-perfect skin. It's all thanks to the Hydrafacial three-step process, which cleanses/peels, extracts/hydrates and fuses/protects. Gentle exfoliation, nourishing moisture and powerful peptides will help you fall in love with the skin you're in.

Revitalize Hair with PRP Treatments
Our youth-oriented culture places great importance on hair - so when you don't feel like you have enough of it, it's easy to feel uncomfortable - even stressed out!
Enter PRP - platelet rich plasma! This treatment addresses the cause of hairloss at the source - your scalp, nourishing the area with rich stem cells. Your blood is drawn, the red cells are separated from the serum and the platelets are then concentrated by centrifuge. They are then introduced back into your system using a brand-new technique that has patients talking - and showing off their new strands.
Today's newest technique substantially reduces discomfort while increasing results. No topical or injection anesthetics are required. The PRP is now injected subdermally in a layer with far fewer nerves and spreads easily in this layer, meaning the doctor can use only 25 percent of the number of injections needed before. The results are far better, too. In a study of men and women 16 to 80 years old, the patients realized a 33.1 percent increase in hair count and a 29.1 percent increase in hair caliber.

Why Invisalign?
Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance, but your lifestyle as well. As an adult, you may be looking to improve your smile for business or social reasons. Or perhaps you're a teen or the parent of a teen looking for an effective yet modern-day solution. Either way, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen can provide a simple way to achieve your "dream smile" without having to put your life on hold.
Healthier Teeth & Gums
When teeth are properly aligned, it helps the gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing for the strongest and healthiest defense against potential periodontal problems.
Easier Cleaning
One of the biggest challenges of having braces is removing all the food that gets trapped in the brackets and wires. This can often lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so it's easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth the way you normally do.
Dr. Gilbert H. Snow and Dr. Daniel Azani are DIamond+ Invisalign providers, which means they rank in the
top 1 percent of Invisalign providers in the world.
