Sunetics' New Laser Paddle Brush for Hair Enhancement Provides Largest Coverage Area of All Hand-Held Devices

New hair enhancement laser device offers best coverage available.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 3, 2009 -- Sunetics International announces the official launch of the new Laser Paddle Brush, an advanced at-home hair care device for men and women with weak or thinning hair that delivers a greater degree of low level laser energy to the scalp than any other hand-held unit on the market.

"Sunetics' Laser Paddle Brush is an important advancement for consumers as it provides the maximum level of scalp coverage at a more optimal low level laser energy wavelength than any other 'brush' or 'comb' currently available," said Dr. Charles Maricle, Chief Technological Officer of Sunetics International. "Low level laser therapy has been demonstrated to effectively improve the appearance of hair, making it look fuller, thicker, shinier and healthier."

With the new Laser Paddle Brush, Sunetics has enhanced the size of the laser area by creating three rows of laser diodes utilizing 12 true laser diodes. Sunetics also uses its patented technology to expand the laser beam pattern, thus creating a superior coverage area of laser energy. The Laser Paddle Brush was developed to deliver the largest coverage area of all hand-held devices so that consumers can experience in the privacy of their own homes the maximum amount of laser energy at the optimal wavelength level. The average usage time is just 10 minutes per day, three times per week.

"Customers who use the Sunetics' Laser Paddle Brush for at-home laser hair therapy care will also be able to use it on the road when they travel since it is so portable as well as rechargeable," says John Carullo, Director of Marketing for Sunetics.

Key Facts for Consumers About the Sunetics' Laser Paddle Brush:

•    Maximum Laser Energy - Designed with 12 true laser diodes, the most of any other hand-held unit on the market. Each laser diode used for hair rejuvenation has a wavelength of 650 nm.

•    Superior Scalp Coverage - Uses multiple, wide-pattern, true laser diodes to provide maximum coverage of the scalp for men and women. The laser diodes are positioned on the brush to produce an expanded elliptical laser light pattern that provides maximum coverage of the scalp.

•    Portable - Unlike other hand-held laser devices that are plugged in, the Laser Paddle Brush is cordless and uses a rechargeable battery to make it portable and easier to use with maximum energy.

•    Unique Bristle Design - A true laser "brush," the device has over 75 soft, gentle scalp-massaging bristles. The unique soft bristles are designed to not break or damage fine or weakened hair.

•    Certified, Patented and Approved - The Laser Paddle Brush is a U.S. patented device (#7,258,695) that is CE-certified and complies with all FDA manufacturing standards and safety regulations for personal use as well as 11 FDA performance standards for laser products.

Evidence for Low Level Laser Hair Therapy:

In January of 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially cleared the first hand-held laser device (www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf6/K060305.pdf) to treat hair loss and to re-grow hair.

Previous cosmetic clinical studies performed by Sunetics have shown that, as a result of its laser hair therapy program, 86-percent of participants reported the appearance of healthier hair, 78-percent reported the appearance of thicker hair, 76-percent reported the appearance of fuller hair and 85-percent of the participants reported overall satisfaction with the Sunetics Laser Hair Therapy program.

New Neurocosmetic Soothing Gel Turns Off Inflammation Even Before It Happens

New Neurocosmetic Soothing Gel Turns Off Inflammation Even Before It Happens

Top doctors now using PRESCRIBEDsolutions' Control Tactics™, allowing lasers to become lunchtime procedures

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 2, 2009 -- With the popularity of aesthetic treatments today, significant advancements are being made in post procedure care. Because of the constant need for faster healing and less downtime, PRESCRIBEDsolutions' has created Control Tactics™, a new soothing gel with neurocosmetic blockers to quickly stop the skin's own inflammatory responses, redness, and pain. Not only does it soothe after a laser procedure, but it also can stop the redness from happening in the first place.

When pre-treated twice daily one week prior to a procedure, the skin's inflammatory reactions are prevented, resulting in quicker healing and less discomfort. While leading physicians use this gel for patients with laser burns, it is so efficacious that patients with sensitive and rosacea prone skin apply it daily.

Control Tactics™ contains new neurocosmetic peptides and botanical extracts such as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, Bacopa Monniera, and Hydroyzed Algin that reduce the skin's own inflammatory responses and have been shown in vivo to reduce neurogenic inflammation caused by irritants, chemical peels or UV.

"The key advantage this product has is that it literally stops the body's inflammatory reactions and leaves you with dramatically calmer, less irritated skin" says Aurelian Lis, a respected authority on cosmeceuticals and the Chief Operating Officer of PRESCRIBEDsolutions.

To make the product even more efficacious, it can be customized with any of PRESCRIBEDsolutions' boosters to address patients' concerns such as hyperpigmentation, scarring, anti-oxidant protection or acne on the body.

Patients looking to find out more about the customized boosters and products can find a local dispensing physician by going to www.prescribedsolutions.com. Most physicians do not charge consultation fees for customizing PRESCRIBEDsolutions to patients' skin concerns.

Note to editors:

Aurelian Lis is available for interviews.

San Diego Thermage Physician Wins Coveted Thermage Black Diamond Award

San Diego Thermage Physician Wins Coveted Thermage Black Diamond Award

Skin Tightening Leader Thermage rates Physicians on clinical results. San Diego Aesthetic Physician Nasrin Mani, already a three time Pinnacle Award winner, has now also won the highest clinical results award, the Thermage Black Diamond.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) March 1, 2009 -- Three-time award winning Nasrin Mani, medical director of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic, has just received the coveted Black Diamond Award from Thermage - her fourth award in three years. The skin tightening technology giant selected Dr. Mani to receive their highest achievement award based on the clinical results of her many Thermage patients.

Dr. Mani is already a triple recipient of the Thermage Pinnacle Award which is presented to a group of very select physicians who achieve outstanding results for their patients. She is the only physician in San Diego to have received this level of recognition and award status.

"I'm honored," Dr. Mani shared. "My staff and I give our patients 100% in our efforts to obtain the best improvements possible. Thermage is a wonderful procedure for firming skin for those who either aren't quite ready for a facelift or aren't interested in surgery. It's not a replacement for surgery, as no nonsurgical procedure can mimic that level of results, but it is an extremely adaptable treatment that tightens loose collagen and spurs some forward-acting collagen growth. We love Thermage and so do our patients."

Dr. Mani relates that although many physicians have the Thermage technology in their offices, what sets her practice apart is her customized application of the technology. Thermage (http://www.lajollalaser.com/thermage.html) is typically delivered in a grid pattern. Novice treatment providers "stamp" the radio frequency pulses in the center of each grid block that is laid down on the skin. Although this is standard application , Dr. Mani has learned this simplistic delivery doesn't take best advantage of the dispersion of the energy deep in the skin where the tightening can be the strongest.

Dr. Mani's technique involves a specific delivery pattern that is unique to each patient. For instance, someone with even skin thickness might do fine with the standard grid delivery, whereas another patient with thicker skin may require cross-corner delivery as well in order to take the best advantage of the collagen tightening. Under-treated skin will not tighten well and over-treated thinner skin may blister or experience "divots". Understanding the technology behind the function of radio frequency on the skin makes a substantial difference in the outcome.

"We will always pay special attention to the areas our patients are most concerned with," Dr. Mani says. "This may be laxity or bagginess around the eyes, the beginning of jowls or loose skin under the chin. Each area can require a somewhat complicated delivery pattern. That's what we've learned and that's what's given our patients such excellent results. It takes a little longer, but our patients' results, not our time, is what matters the most.

"We're exited about the new Body Tip that makes treatments off the face much faster than before - but with the same excellent - and even improved - results. Abdomen, thighs, arms...any part of the body that's been hit by 'skin sag' can benefit from Thermage (http://www.lajollalaser.com/tummy.html)."

Dr. Mani claims other notoriety. She was approached last year by San Diego 6 TV to be their public educator for nonsurgical cosmetic and laser procedures and is a regular medical contributor on the San Diego Living TV program (http://lajollalaser.com/lajollaser-video.htm). Dr. Mani is a training physician for Radiesse, the long lasting injectable used for deep facial folds and chin or cheek augmentation. A Platinum Plus status physician for Botox, Dr. Mani can offer her patients invitation to the Botox Benefits program.

La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is one of San Diego's most sought out laser centers. As a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, Dr. Mani has had many years' experience working with lasers (http://www.lajollalaser.com/about.html) in delicate retinal surgeries requiring great precision. Being able to provide patients with desired cosmetic results has gained her special recognition awards and appreciation.

La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is located at 1111 Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla, Ca., in a modern facility that caters to the comfort needs of their patients. A highly trained and experienced staff of Physician Assistants support Dr. Mani in her aesthetic practice. The private practice offers a wide variety of cosmetic laser procedures, including the resurfacing gold standard fractional CO2 laser by Lumenis - the ActiveFX DeepFX duo, Fraxel laser for acne scarring and melasma, Yag laser for spider veins and the Light Sheer for hair removal.

Dr. Mani provides ongoing public education seminars in her office, at no cost to attendees. "Education is increasingly important," she affirms. "To be able to make intelligent choices, patients today need to have an expanded knowledge of technology. It is my pleasure to make that education easily available to anyone who is curious or thinking of undergoing procedures for their appearance."

La Jolla Laser Clinic maintains an educational website, LaJollaLaser.com (http://www.lajollalaser.com) and offers educational email communications through a special complimentary VIP access program (http://www.lajollalaser.com/skinlaser-news.html). La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic (800) 515 7753
