Through a life altering experience, Rachel was able to change her looks in an effort to transform her life and destiny and to make her dreams come true. This was all accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including plastic surgeons, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers.

Rachel (33) is a single, visual merchandiser for Expo Design Center who suffers from Alopecia, an autoimmune skin disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. Due to her baldness, Rachel has suffered shame and insecurity, with devastating effects on her social and professional life. She has tried numerous wigs and treatments, but nothing has worked. The Extreme Team now gives Rachel the opportunity to fulfill her potential as she is made over head to toe and given a new state of the art wig which allows her to participate in activities from swimming to riding roller coasters.

Rachel's procedures included a brow lift, facial fat injections, liposuction to knees, inner and outer thighs, LASIK eye surgery, Fotofacials, rosacea treatment, tattooed eyebrows, six da Vinci porcelain veneers, Zoom whitening and a custom wig.
