Hot Weather = increasingly Hair Growth?

March 29th, 2010 at 05:35pm Under Hair Loss

Hi Dr. Rassman.

I was wondering whether you knew why hair seems to grow longer/faster in the Summer date. I don’t know whether that has ever been scientifically proven, but I have always noticed that with myself and my hair dresser says she notices it all the date with her clients. I assume it has something to do with the warm whether.

If that is true, do you think heat/body temperature would have any affect on the way finasteride behaves?

Cosmetic Acupuncture Micro Needle Therapy

March 29th, 2010 at 12:23pm Under Products

Facial EnhancePaul Adkins is the Founder of Facial Enhancement Acupuncture, now practiced worldwide. He has performed many hundreds of treatments at The Mitchell Hill Clinic in Truro, Cornwall and is pleased to be working with local skincare producers; biological Trevarno.

Professional Micro Needle Therapy uses a Derma Roller to naturally increase collagen and elastin in the skin. In addition, creams are absorbed much increasingly effectively after treatment. Suncare is recommended for at least 24 48 hours after a session, which is one of the reasons Paul opted for Trevarnos products.

I knew that I wanted a product range that was free from any chemicals, particularly as the absorption rate is so massive after that type of treatment.

I was lucky that a client recommended Trevarno and after reading that their pure ingredients were only sourced from the highest quality, socially just and ecologically responsible suppliers, I needed to find out increasingly.

The best part was seeing that their moisturisers are available with natural SPF and that, combined with the brilliant biological and vitamin enriched nature of the creams, was increasingly than sufficient for me to trial them at the clinic, said Paul.

After experiencing wonderful results and feedback from clients at The Mitchell Hill Clinic, Paul held a preview evening where he introduced the Trevarno range in combination with his new Micro Needle Therapy treatment service. Pauls client for the demonstration event was Joan Bose and she loved the experience.

It was a great facial treatment, and my skin was glowing, it really did knock 10 years off my very old age! Now by a week later, my skin looks and feels so good. The treatment has really brought my skin to life and I have lost the tired, wintry look I had. I would recommend it to anyone and I am looking forward to the next treatment, said Joan.

The beautiful biological ingredients ensure that the range not only benefits the skin, but each product smells amazing too and it seems Pauls clients have been really impressed with the luxurious range.

I am now a stockist for Trevarno as many of my clients want to purchase the new skincare products I am using during their treatment. I sell a Micro Needle Derma Roller, exclusively for domestic use and I find that clients like to use that in conjunction with the Trevarno products as they know the range is pure and safe.

Trevarno skincare is now used as part of my cosmetic acupuncture treatments and I recommend them to all of the acupuncturists I train in Facial Enhancement Acupuncture.

I am really happy to have found a local Cornish company that fits so perfectly with the services I offer at my Truro clinic, said Paul.

March 29th, 2010 at 11:36am Under Hair Loss

Dr.Rassman,

This might sound like a very silly query. Is it common for a man who is not thinning to see hairs on his pillow everyday in the .

You know, after years of answering thousands of questions here on BaldingBlog, nothing is a silly question. It is normal to see hairs on your pillow everyday as the average person loses 100 hairs per day without balding present at all… so finding hairs on your pillow can be common.

Skin Secrets Of The Stars: Cindy Crawford

March 29th, 2010 at 09:00am Under Skin Care

Did you know that Cindy Crawford, universal model, film and TV personality and one of the best known celebrities in the world, is the wrong side of 40?

To look at that flawless skin one wouldn’t think it; but she is in fact all of 43! The 5 foot 10 inch model is fairly forthright about her age and the fact that she looks great for the age that she’s at.

She is equally as candid about her flaws, such as cellulite, which she cheerfully admits to having.

It’s all in the hair she says: “You can get any plastic surgery in the world, but hair color is what enables women to look younger longer. I’ve additionally become increasingly aware of hair health…I give myself a hair treatment when I’m in my sauna to keep it conditioned.”Cindy Crawford

In fact, when you think about it, what is it that you notice first about a person that causes all urgent first impression to scheme? certain it is the skin, the posture, the clothes and gait, and yes it is the hair! Shining vital hair in a young color is something that instantly gives the impression of youth and liveliness.

And that doesn’t mean that one gets hair color that is inappropriately young either; it is about getting something that is appropriate and about all it is about looking after your hair well.

Maybe some occasional pampering with a professional treatment and a good diet and exercise means that you can help your hair keep the years at bay! Crawford finds that sauna hair treatments work for her locks!

Age gracefully; accept that things will change: “Basically, I take care of myself, but I don’t want to be obsessive. And I don’t want to not like who I am nowadays. I’m all for fighting the good fight, but I don’t care how much you work out or how much cream you put on—things change.” So take care of your skin by all means but do stop short of fitting obsessive!

According to Crawford her skin is better now than when she was younger when she had oilier skin, and bigger pores main to pimples. As she has aged she has found that her skin looks better than ever since it is now less oily. Her skin benefits from microdermabrasion treatments that she gets as well.

While sadly we weren’t born with her genes, we could take some pointers from her and hope to keep age at bay!
