In all the rush of daily life, I know I can become caught up in thinking patterns that no longer serve me well. One way that I’ve found to change what, for me, can become a nagging negative cycle is to create and verbalize affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you create (or find) with some frequency. I find saying them aloud (even in a whisper), daily, can shift my...

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 his patients the results they were looking for, but he knew his clients needed more. I was working as a...

I’ve spent most of my life firmly in my head. I think most of us have. In our world, our mind is our priority. We spend our life thinking, talking, communicating, and processing. As children, we are told to sit in chairs when we might feel like running around. We are told to get up early, when we might feel like sleeping in. We are told to mute the urges of our bodies in order to fit in...

We’ve started a series of blogs on Makeup Free Beauty. More and more celebrities are touting their makeup-free look. Perhaps a very lucky few may be endowed with genes that keep them preternaturally youthful, but most famous people – and the rest of us – are going to have to work at it. Collagen is one of the most important secrets to natural no-makeup beauty. A naturally occurring...

  By Elizabeth Janowski We often get asked “what is good treatment to start with”? Maybe you’ve heard about Botox®/Dysport® or fillers from your friends? Maybe you talked to someone who had a chemical peel? Or maybe you have noticed your face is looking a little older in photos and you want to look a bit fresher? What treatment is best for you can vary – depending...

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 claims — it is difficult to know how to...

Pamela Anderson is apparently the latest celebrity to embrace the minimalist/no makeup movement. (http://hellogiggles.com/pamela-andersons-minimal-makeup-totally-new-look-looks-stunning/) Alicia Keys seems to have started it off in the summer of 2016 when she showed up at the MTV Music Video awards with what looked like, GASP no makeup on! Since then, it’s become a movement (see #nomakup on...

One of the amazing benefits of working at Sonata is that we all do the treatments that we promote to our wonderful patients. In fact, in most cases, we are the (very willing) “guinea pigs” who demo the treatments before we roll them out to our patients. We want to ensure that all the treatments we provide are safe and effective, and we love to be able to share our personal...
