Opus Plasma is the Anti-aging Solution with No Downtime
The Opus Plasma treatment clears away dead skin cells clogging your pores and stimulates collagen production for anti-aging benefits. The handheld device is made up of tiny metal pins charged with radiofrequency energy. The device's energy reacts with the atmosphere to create a plasma-like phenomenon. The charged RF energy triggers your skin's healing response for a rejuvenating effect that requires no downtime. This cosmetic treatment offers a wide range of anti-aging benefits for men and women who want to turn back the clock, as it reduces signs of aging including sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, dullness and scarring. Opus Plasma can also improve skin texture to make your skin feel smoother and softer to the touch. If you struggle with sagging or drooping skin, Opus Plasma works as a skin-tightening procedure to improve skin laxity and give it a more taut appearance. Opus Plasma can treat a number of areas on the face, neck and body - including post pregnancy stretch marks on the belly, or stretch marks on the arms, buttocks or legs.
Each Opus Plasma session lasts an average of 15 to 30 minutes, though some sessions may be shorter or longer depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Opus Plasma procedures require no downtime - you can resume your normal activities after your appointment, though treated areas may be red and swollen for up to 48 hours.

How to make Cryotherapy Work for You
In order for cryotherapy to produce best results, 90 percent of your skin must be exposed to sub-zero temperatures for up to three minutes. This process forces your body to burn calories to keep itself warm and push blood to the surface of your skin. This shrinks your pores, relieves joint pain and flushes toxins from your body.
After just a few short minutes of exposure to the extreme cold, you will notice an immediate boost in energy, relief of pain and many other positive side effects. Whole-body cryotherapy has been shown to reduce inflammation, provide lasting joint pain relief, improve skin blemishes and cellulite, reduce recovery time, help with sleep quality and mood.

Claiming Senior Status can Save You Money
If your New Year's Resolution was to stick to your budget or even save some cash, then reaching age 50+ can certainly work in your favor. Senior discounts are a fantastic way to maintain your budget and enjoy the benefits of being an older adult. And, while we generally think that senior status begins at age 65, many senior perks and discounts start much earlier! For example, if you enroll in an AARP or Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) membership on your 50th birthday, you can start cashing in on senior discounts right away. From retail items and groceries, to insurance and health care, there are all types of senior discounts to claim.
Some of the best discounts are related to entertainment, like theater tickets or passes to our national parks. A long list of restaurants, both chain and locally owned, offer great perks for seniors. Also, the discounts offered by hotels and cruise lines are sometimes up to 15 or 20 percent. Many airlines, bus tours and railroads also offer discounts. Even internet, cellular phone providers and healthcare companies have jumped into the senior discount market.
Remember: Not all businesses advertise their discounts for older adults, so you need to ask. You can also check websites like aarp.org for discount information.

Sauna for your Heart Health
Relaxing in the sauna is often associated with stress and pain relief, but an ongoing scientific study in Finland (It's been running for more than 20 years!) is an excellent reminder that if you want to keep your heart healthy, frequent sauna use is the way to do it.
The Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study researchers have discovered that sauna use was associated with a significantly-lower risk of deadly coronary heart disease, fatal cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac death. Interestingly, all-cause mortality was lower in sauna users, too.
These results were "dose dependent," meaning that the sauna lovers who most frequently used the sauna saw the biggest health gains. For those who saunaed four or more times a week, all-cause mortality was a staggering 40 percent lower than the general population.
The Sweat Shack's unlimited membership plans make it convenient and affordable to sweat frequently so you can enjoy maximum health benefits. With two Santa Clarita locations - one in Saugus and one on Main Street in Old Town Newhall - there's a Sweat Shack near you!

Grow Better-looking Brows with your own Hair
Forget the messy serums that make big promises but deliver only minor results and the wasted time invested each morning "putting on your brows" - because there's a minimally-invasive treatment that can give you the brows of your dreams.
Today, an innovative treatment can help patients with sparse eyebrows grow more hair, faster. This procedure is done with precision placement and without an incision by grafting thousands of individual hairs per session.
This technique yields natural-looking results and the opportunity to grow your own real hair.
Dr. Heller of Heller Plastic Surgery offers this procedure by providing patients with a comfortable experience and a dramatic transformation. Individual hairs are implanted, one by one, with a graft vacuum system that removes, then deposits and places the follicles beautifully.
"There's real excitement out there," shares Dr. Heller of Heller Plastic Surgery. "People who've suffered from embarrassment or frustration because of hair loss can now implant real hair-bearing tissue into eyebrows, scalp and other desired areas. Male-pattern baldness issues can be alleviated without the harsh look of hair plugs. Hair lines can now look lush and natural!" Curious? Call Heller Plastic Surgery for more information.
