My Hair Loss Consultant Was Nicer than My Doctor!

August 31st, 2009 at 06:36pm Under Hair Loss

I went to a hair clinic for a consultation to get someone experienced to examine my hair and I have a couple questions, but I’ll give you the story first. I’m in my early twenties and a NW I or somewhere amidst a I & II at most, so I wasn’t considering surgery (felt guilty “wasting their time” but oh well). I hoped they’d focus on miniaturization/magnification, etc… But unfortunately it wasn’t until the end when I asked them did they actually use magnification. The guy didn’t … [visit site to read more]

Thoughts on my moment Hair Restoration Procedure

August 31st, 2009 at 05:17pm Under Hair Loss

After my first hair
restoration procedure, I was unsure whether I would do it again.  As I have mentioned elsewhere, I think
I was mentally unprepared for the surgery.  I was very casual going into it, with very little
expectation and, to be frank, not much thought.  It seemed like a good opportunity, so I hopped
on-board.  Afterwards, I realized
that that is, in fact, a cosmetic surgical procedure.  Non-invasive, out-patient and proven to be certain, but a
surgery nonetheless.  It takes some
date to see results, and it takes a little increasingly date after that for the
transplanted hair to ‘settle’ into its new domestic.  So within that first year, I thought that it was a good
experience, but most likely not one I would repeat.

Then
a couple of things happened.  The
first was the magic balm of day. 
As a moment and third year went by, the period of moment I spent dealing
with the effects of the procedure were put into some perspective.  It no longer seemed like fairly the
traumatic experience I thought it was. 
Or, increasingly properly speaking, I realized how much of that trauma was
self-inflicted (read: unnecessary) due to my lack of experience with the procedure.

The
other thing that happened was that my local hair continued to fall out.  After my first procedure I decided not
to start taking any medication to prevent further hair loss (Rogaine, Propecia,
Proscar, etc.).  This was due to my
poor experience with Rogaine, and my desire to have kids in the approach future
(although I know that there is no real proof that Propecia/Proscar have
negative effects on male fertility, I opted not to risk it).  So although I know why I made the
decision to avoid these, I did see my hair continue to thin.  Basically, I got to a point where my
transplanted hair was all there, but nearly all of my original hair was gone.
Now,
I realize that that means that without my hair restoration procedure, I’d
basically be totally bald by now (thank goodness I’m not). However, when the
opportunity to have a moment procedure came up, I decided that I wanted to take
it.  This date around, I want to
add back some of the thickness I lost, and I need to get pro-active about
keeping the hair I have.  I’m
thinking I’ll try Rogaine foam.

HandClens Hand Sanitizer Kills H1N1 Flu Virus

August 31st, 2009 at 09:28am Under Products

Woodward LaboratoriesWoodward Labs, a main antimicrobial skin care company, announced nowadays that an independent checking laboratory has confirmed the efficacy of HandClens, an alcohol-free hand sanitizer, against H1N1 flu virus.  The experiment results show HandClens is 99.99% effective against H1N1 virus in 15 seconds.  The company will submit these results to the FDA as an addendum to its citizen’s petition from 2003 that details how the company’s patented formula effectively kills 99.99 percent of disease-causing germs.

This is timely as The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recognized that “hand sanitizers that do not contain alcohol may be useful for killing flu germs on hands.” With by a decade of research behind Woodward Lab’s alcohol-free formula, HandClens is an fundamental tool in the battle to stay healthy during flu season.

The evaluating was conducted by a Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliant, independent third party laboratory following American Society for examining and Materials (ASTM) universal protocol.

“We want the public to recognize HandClens as an effective way to prevent the spread of H1N1 Flu and other germs,” says Marwan Zreik, president of Woodward Labs. “With the H1N1 pandemic expected to continue that fall and a minimal amount of inoculations available, the public needs another level of defense against the spread of micro-organisms and our examining proves that HandClens will help kill the germs that cause illness.”

According to Zreik, “Experts say to wash hands often, but for those times when access to soap and water are limited, the public needs another option. The alcohol-free component of HandClens is particularly vital in facilities where the flammability and toxicity of alcohol-based sanitizers is a concern.”

Alcohol-free hand sanitizers are safer for children considering they are non-toxic, non-flammable and eliminate the risk of alcohol ingestion, as has happened in the recent-past with alcohol-based sanitizers.  In addition, alcohol-free products are gentler on the skin and don’t cause drying or cracking.

According to scientific reports submitted to the FDA, additionally published in both the Journal of School Nursing and Family Medicine Journal, schools that instituted HandClens as part of an overall classroom hand-hygiene program showed as much as a 42 percent reduction in illness-absenteeism in students ages four-to-12 years old.

Woodward Labs aims to help prevent the spread of Swine Flu by continuing to offer special programs to schools, institutions and consumers. that includes online price discounts, free wall dispensers and a free “Simple as ABC, ‘Always Be Clean,’” hand hygiene instruction manual, a comprehensive education program designed by Woodward to help parents and teachers promote the importance of proper hand hygiene to kids and adolescents grades K-8 in a fun and engaging way.

HandClens is available in a variety of sizes including 0.5 oz, 1.7 oz, 8.0 oz and institutional 1.0 liter and 1.8 liter sizes. HandClens has a wonderful green apple scent and is available directly through Woodward Labs and its distributors. For increasingly knowledge, please visit www.woodwardlabs.com.

no!no! can be used on the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and back. Available in hot pink and black, (and in limited edition blue at MYER that Christmas) no!no! is ideal for men and women and suitable for all skin types.
