Five years ago I was gifted what would turn out to be one of the greatest opportunities of my life. My new husband, Dr. Janowski, was looking to make a change, and so was I. He had been helming Sonata solo since it’s inception in 2004. His technical skill was there and he could give
by Liz Janowski (photo at 25 weeks) With all the ways your body changes during pregnancy, it can be hard to feel your best. While people insist that I have a pregnancy “glow”, I mostly feel large and cranky. This is my second pregnancy, and I have the added fun (and joy) of being a Mom
When I scroll through my facebook feed, I see so many beautiful and inspiring stories about my friends’ wellness regimens. From Crossfit stats, to amazing hikes, to healthy meals they prepared – I love seeing the dedication and confidence of so many of my peers to their health and fitness. My cohorts, especially my female
by Elizabeth Janowski I often get asked by friends and acquaintances what skin care products they should be using – and what brands I recommend. Certainly, navigating the billion dollar skin care industry is complicated and confusing. And with new products and brands entering the marketplace all the time — each making their own amazing
by Lawrence Janowski, MD Botox® was the first neurotoxin approved for cosmetic use in 2002. Since then, two virtually identical products have been introduced: Dysport® and Xeomin. All three neurotoxins are Botulinum Toxin type A, and do exactly the same thing, last about the same amount of time, and, until now, cost the same. Dysport®
by Lawrence Janowski, MD In order to understand how to best achieve facial rejuvenation, one should have a fundamental understanding of what causes the face to age in the first place. The most important principle I can stress is that the majority of the aging of the face comes from a loss of facial volume. Our faces
We have lots of beautiful, expectant women ask us if they can receive Dysport® or Restylane treatments in our Broomfield, Colorado office when they are pregnant.

Diary of a Vi Peel: By Liz Janowski About two months ago, we began to offer the ViPeel at Sonata Aesthetics in Broomfield, Colorado. We were impressed by its incredible, “skin changing” results, and medical-grade ingredient deck. This isn’t your frou-frou fruit acid peel. The Vi is designed to change your skin, and it will.
Virtually every patient I have would like to see more “lift” in the face and neck. This could mean either a higher cheek bone, a reduction in jowls at the jawline, a rise in the mouth corners, less sagging in the neck, or some combination of these. Up until now, patients had the choice of
– By Liz Janowski Three weeks ago, I took the leap and had a DOT Laser treatment. The DOT Laser is a technology we have used for several years now, and I had seen the amazing results our patients had received — from incredible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles to unbelievable evenness in skin
What Is Bellafill? Bellafill is a unique approach to one of the biggest challenges facing injectable fillers: how to make results last. Although modern fillers like Juvéderm yield exceptionally long results when compared to collagen fillers of the past, the results are still sadly temporary. But Bellafill is designed to give long-term results, lasting several
Fillers Aftercare Tips Injectable fillers are an easy and convenient way to get rid of parentheses lines, tear trough, and other signs of facial aging.

The holidays remind us how hard it is to prioritize ourselves. I bet whoever sang “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” wasn’t juggling work, kids, partner, presents galore and, oh yes – extended family who somehow got the idea they are on an all-service, all-day buffet and tour that starts and ends at
We think of fat transfer as the ultimate “twofer.” First Dr. Janowski removes some fat from an unwanted location – usually your tummy or maybe your thighs. Then, your fat is treated and injected into a part of the face that could use the volume – that is the same areas you’d use a dermal
I Hate My Neck! Improvements for Your Neck and Jawline Besides maybe the easily curable frowny-face, nothing makes us look older than our saggy necks and jawlines. Many of us have inherited a jawline that – left untreated – just won’t age well. For most of us, it’s simply genetics. Watching our parents age, we

Skin care can seem so complicated, especially when you start throwing around medical-grade terms like retinols and free-radicals. We’ve all heard about cleansers, toners, and moisturizers, and that’s a great first step in taking care of your skin.
