Eternity Healthcare to Develop a Hand-held Laser Hair Removal Device

PHOENIX & VANCOUVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Eternity Healthcare Inc. (ETAH), a leading medical device and diagnostic company, announced today that it has initiated the research and development, with Asian Developers, to manufacture a Hand-held Laser hair removal device.

Currently the hair removal products on the market, such as no!no!^TM, and the Pearl^TM along with low-end products, only work short-term. The hair comes back within a few days or weeks. With this new technology, the Hand-held Laser hair removal device will become an inexpensive way to get rid of unwanted hair, in the privacy of your own home. The Hand-held laser device works by using a pulse of light directly at a hair follicle, destroying it at the roots; this in turn kills the hair follicle and prevents the hair from growing back.

Dr. Hassan Salari, C.E.O., states that: “Eternity Healthcare Inc. is a medical device company; we are always open to new technologies and ideas in the medical fields.” He went on to state: “The addition of a laser-based hair removal device to our portfolio of products will not only make the Company stronger, but more visible in the healthcare and medical equipment industry.”

About Eternity Healthcare

Our most advanced product is a needle-free injection system known as Comfort-in^TM. Our products are sold to healthcare professionals, for use in physicians' offices, pharmacies, and also to consumers (end-users) directly. For more information visit: www.eternityhealthcare.com

Austin Dermatology Practice Adds Two Innovative New Laser Technologies

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - May 28, 2014) - Cosmetic treatments utilizing laser and radiofrequency (RF) technology can provide faster, more effective, and more comfortable experiences for patients, according to Austin dermatologists Adam Mamelak, MD and Miriam Hanson, MD. Their practice, Sanova Dermatology, recently acquired new equipment they say has allowed them to treat a broader range of patients.

In a recent blog post titled, "Comfortable and Effective Laser Treatment," Drs. Hanson and Mamelak announced one of their newest lasers, the elōs Plus. The elōs Plus uses a combination of laser and RF technology designed to improve the results of treatment. The Austin dermatologists say the elōs Plus is extremely effective for laser hair removal, but they also use it for treatments such as skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, reduction of brown or red spots, and skin tightening.

In a follow-up blog post, Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson discuss another new laser, the Candela® GentleYag Pro-U. The blog, titled, "Laser Treatment for All Skin Types," explains how the GentleYag Pro-U can be used for laser hair removal on skin types that previously were unable to achieve effective results. The blog goes on to note how this revolutionary new equipment can be used for a multitude of other treatments, including skin tightening, nail fungus treatment, and treatment of ingrown facial hairs known as pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Ultimately, the dermatologists say they hope that with the addition of this new advanced equipment they can reach a wider population of patients and assist them in their unique needs. Drs. Mamelak and Hanson recommend anyone interested in treatment with these lasers to schedule a consultation, noting they can work with each patient to find the treatment that will be most effective.

Cosmedics Putney Beauty Salon Report Summer Surge in Laser Hair Removal

London (PRWEB UK) 21 May 2014

The arrival of summer has led to a surge in interest in laser hair removal for Cosmedics Putney Beauty Salon, which has seen a staggering 131% increase on their website in the four weeks since Easter for relevant pages.

This growth goes beyond normal seasonal fluctuation. While interest in other forms of hair removal such as electrolysis and waxing have also increased significantly, the performance of laser hair removal shows that it is becoming an increasingly attractive option for clients looking their options for hassle-free summer hair removal.

Now Cosmedics Putney Beauty Salon is gearing up for even more enquiries, after announcing a laser hair removal promotion, offering 25% off laser hair removal courses until June 9th. The latest promotion is designed for those considering the benefits of laser hair removal for holidays, as it offers clients a choice of the attractive discount on popular underarm or bikini areas.

Clinic Manager, Ali Goss, explains:

“The offer is ideal for anybody contemplating holidays on the beach. Laser hair removal is a great choice for the summer as it offers incredible long-lasting hair-free results with smooth skin. This means that clients can be free to wear whatever they want without needing to worry about arranging regular waxes or shaving every day on freshly bronzed skin.”

“For those new to having professional hair removal of the bikini area, we do understand that it can be embarrassing and even overwhelming. Our unique ‘Bikini Line Style Guide’ has been put together to show the most popular options, from standard and high bikini to the infamous Hollywood and Brazilian. This is available in our clinic as well as on our websites. Our beauty therapists are happy to advise too, so there’s no need to be nervous or concerned.”

Saving money on laser hair removal does not have to mean compromising on quality or results. Cosmedics’ Putney Beauty Salon is equipped with the advanced Soprano XL machine, which offers good results for all skin/hair colour combinations and can be used on the body or on the face (something that cannot be said of cheaper IPL techniques). The Soprano XL features continuous in-motion sweeping technology and precise wavelengths for fast and efficient results and it is famed for a ‘pain-free’ experience, which is especially valuable in sensitive areas.

Ali continues:

“We do advise clients to start their treatment as early as possible in advance of a holiday to avoid sun exposure on the treated area, although in the case of the bikini and underarms, this is less of a problem as these areas are not exposed.”

“The general rule is to always be diligent with sunscreen and start treatment as soon as you can for maximum benefit. Clients usually see results after the first session, but we advise a course of six to ensure that the maximum amount of hair is treated at the right point in the growth cycle.”

Cosmedics Putney Beauty Salon offers a comprehensive range of the very latest professional hair removal options to suit all possible requirements. As well as laser hair removal, the team also offer advanced use of electrolysis and the ever-popular waxing as well as alkaline facial hair removal wash, a specialist product designed to deal with fine and downy hair on the face.

Since opening in 2012, the Putney beauty salon has regularly introduced new treatment options for its clients. They offer treatments for the face and body too, with top brand facials and advanced skincare technology such as CACI at their exclusive salon at 4 Disraeli Road, Putney, London.

The business is part of Cosmedics Skin Clinics, which was established in 2003 and remains a doctor-owned and managed company offering a full range of cosmetic treatments, including popular wrinkle relaxing injections, dermal fillers and lip enhancement; plus medical treatments including mole removal, thread vein treatment and excessive sweating injections. The company has 5 clinics in London plus one in Bristol.

Inside Kim Kardashian's Pre-Wedding Beauty Prep

By Aili Nahas

05/13/2014 at 04:00 PM EDT

She's rarely out in public with even a hair out of place, so it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian is going all out when it comes to beautifying for her big day.

The bride-to-be has made several visits to Epione of Beverly Hills, a cosmetic laser center where she had previously undergone laser treatments on her breasts. (The process aired on a February episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.) The center also specializes in Botox and laser hair removal, both of which Kardashian has tried in the past.

As for her famous glow? The reality star likely doesn't have to look much further than her own makeup drawer â€" she has her own line of self-tanning products, Kardashian Sun Kissed.

When it comes to her nails, Kardashian favors neutral and pink colors at Beverly Hills Nail Design, says an insider. "She never goes crazy with colors on her nails. She likes simple and pretty."

And could her blonde mane be making a reappearance for the nuptials? Though she went from blonde back to brunette earlier this year â€" thanks to stylist Tracy Cunningham â€" the 33-year-old was a little wistful post-color. "I'm so annoyed I dyed my hair dark!" she Tweeted in February. "I am missing my light hair!"

No matter her hair color, Kardashian will surely be making heads turn on her wedding day. Her glam squad will likely consist of longtime makeup artists Joyce Bonelli and Mario Dedivanovic (who did her look when she wed Kris Humphries in 2011) as well as hair guru Clyde Haygood.

Get ready, Kanye West â€" your soon-to-be wife is pulling out all the stops!

Mass. Prison Officials To Appeals Court Judge: Inmate Doesn’t Need Sex Change

BOSTON (AP) â€" Massachusetts prison officials on Thursday made another push to overturn a court ruling that would force them to provide a taxpayer-funded sex-change operation to a murder convict with gender-identity disorder.

The inmate has been given a substantial amount of care, including female hormones, laser hair removal and psychotherapy, and doesn’t need the surgery, the Department of Corrections attorney Richard McFarland told the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.

“The clinician didn’t say you must have this surgery, but that if you want it you can get it,” McFarland said Thursday. Only 5 percent of people diagnosed with the disorder actually undergo sex-assignment surgery, he added.

Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, has been in a heated legal battle to get the surgery, which she says is required to relieve the emotional stress caused by the disorder. Kosilek is currently serving a life sentence for killing spouse Cheryl Kosilek in 1990.

In 2012, a federal judge ruled that the department must give Kosilek the surgery.

In January, that decision was reaffirmed by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said it is a constitutional right to receive medically necessary treatment “even if that treatment strikes some as odd or unorthodox.”

The prisons department appealed and won a rehearing before the full appeals court. Five appeals court judges heard arguments on the matter Thursday and could take months to issue a decision.

The department said in a statement Thursday that it “fully acknowledges the legitimacy of a gender identity disorder diagnosis” but was appealing because of “the court’s significant expansion of the standard for what constitutes adequate care under the Eighth Amendment.”

Multiple doctors have testified that surgery is the only sufficient treatment for Kosilek, who has tried twice to commit suicide while incarcerated. There is no exact amount of how much the state-funded surgery will cost, but it could be up to $50,000.

Kosilek’s lawyer, Joseph Sulman, said the present treatment regime has alleviated “some of her pain, but she still suffers from severe mental anguish that cannot be treated without the surgery.”

The department also argued that housing Kosilek at an all-male facility could raise serious security issues. McFarland said if Kosilek received the surgery, her notoriety could potentially create a dangerous climate for her among other prisoners.

But Judge William Kayatta, Jr. noted the department already houses infamous prisoners, and he said the only reason Kosilek is notorious is because she was “consistently pursuing her rights through the U.S. Constitution.” He also noted the department could someday be required to house an inmate who already had a sex change.

At the close of the hearing, Sulman said, “After all the medical recommendations, if the court reverses their decision, there would never be a prisoner who has a need for this surgery.”

If it loses its appeals, Massachusetts would be the first state to fund sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate.
