Everyone wants to be at his or her best. Men and women all over the country strive to get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, crows feet, basically, a battle has been waged over the past few years to restore the vitality and effortless beauty of youthfulness. Since the beginning of the 21^st century, cosmetic techniques and practices have gained momentum in terms of popularity, and more importantly, acceptance.

Although, Cosmetic surgical techniques and procedures are constantly being improved with safer procedures that are less traumatic and more effective, we are in a highly charged environment these days with fast paced lifestyles. It can seem as if there is never enough time to do those little nagging tasks of importance, much less take a few weeks out for a surgical recovery.

More individuals are turning to less invasive procedures such as "Lunchtime Procedures" so that they can erase those pesky frown lines in an hour then dash to their appointment, event, function, etc. These days with the dawn of the non-invasive fillers such as the ever-popular Botox, Collagen, Fat Injections, and the recent recommendation of Restylane approval to the FDA’s advisory panel, men and women a like are looking great in no time flat. These lunchtime procedures or quick fixes are rapidly becoming the norm. It would not be surprising to see these injectables becoming as routine as your manicure, pedicure, and your trip to the hair salon.

Helen Elliott Enterprises, Inc., is working with Fox Networks on the new makeover show, "The Swan" which will air in early 2004. Helen Elliott and her Team are the Creative consultants for this makeover show with a twist.

Have you ever thought: Do I have a dream that I've never achieved because of how I look? If I got the looks I always wanted, could I achieve my deepest desires? Well then this show might be for you. "The Swan" goes beyond where other makeover shows end, offering women the incredible opportunity to undergo a full-life makeover in order to bring their dreams to fruition, and then tracking their journey after. The Swan's team of Life Specialists, plastic surgeons, hair stylists, makeup artists, style consultants, speech therapists, and other life coaches work with the lucky dozen to transform each into the person they've always wanted to be.

"Everyone's lives take unexpected turns, but while some people manage to achieve their dreams, others get thrown off the path to fulfillment," explains executive producer Ted Haimes. "With The Swan, we take a holistic approach to offer the participants a 'dream makeover,' and then track them afterwards to see how they deal with their new lives. What's interesting is watching whether they can make their dreams come true after getting what they want." Female contestants, age 22-38, will be chosen based on the compelling nature of their stories, and episodes will be shot in early 2004, culminating in the presentation of their achievements to a live audience. The best among them will be crowned, The Swan.

Helen Elliott Enterprises, Inc. is proud to offer you the opportunity to participate in a makeover that is more than just skin deep. “The Swan” will help those selected to achieve their full potential, through a transformation of body, mind and soul to achieve not only outer beauty, but inner beauty as well.
