1. Up, Up, and Away: AngelLift® DermaStrips
AngelLift® broke a five year audience record, ABC's season 5 hit on Shark Tank has yet to be beaten. This cosmetic breakthrough, discovered while working with facial nerve damage, caused quite a stir with Barbara and Lori. The technology was discovered in 2014 as a completely noninvasive solution to removing aging lines around the mouth and lips, previously considered to be difficult to remove.
The DermaStrips are reversible, removable and reusable and used only 15-30 min a day. By adding pressure where pressure is lost with age, AngelLift claims to add volume and lift restoring our facial skin contours.
This product was created as an alternative to hair-damaging heated curling irons as a healthier and easier way to create effortless waves. The no-heat circling strips of The Sleep Styler are meant to be put in before bed, and removed when you wake up, so all the work is done while you sleep.
