The Harley Medical Group Reports an Increase in Bald Patch Treatments

The Harley Medical Group has reported a 93% rise in laser rejuvenation treatments among male patients.

2010-09-09
LONDON, ENGLAND, September 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Harley Medical Group has reported demand from male patients for laser rejuvenation treatments is up +93% over the last quarter, across its 30 clinics.

Laser rejuvenation treatments now account for 11% of all non-surgical treatments carried out during June, July and August at the UK's largest cosmetic surgery group. More unusual requests received this year are for skin regeneration treatments on receding hairlines, including laser treatment and chemical peels to reduce the appearance of aging sun spots.

Laura Marshall, specialist nurse counsellor at The Harley Medical Group, said: "The skin on the scalp is delicate and when not protected by hair or high factor sun cream is prone to burning which can cause dark patches, spots and wrinkles to form. Coming to terms with a receding hairline has always been a challenge for a man, but to then suffer the effects of sun damage on the balding area adds insult to injury. Rejuvenation treatments can help minimise the visible signs of aging skin."

Liz Dale, Director, The Harley Medical Group, added: "We're not talking big numbers of bald-patch treatments but the fact we're getting more enquiries does demonstrate how men are taking non-surgical treatments increasingly seriously as a cosmetic solution. With successful, high profile men, like Simon Cowell, openly talking about their cosmetic regimes it's a subject that has become more acceptable for men to tackle."

Jonathan Reed, 35, patient at The Harley Medical Group, commented: "My hair started receding when I was in my mid-twenties. Back then I didn't put much thought into whether or not I was wearing sun cream and over the last couple of years I've developed a couple of sun spots on my scalp, as well as wrinkles. I've booked in for a consultation to see what my options are as I am really conscious of how aging the effect is."

Liz Dale concluded: "Before booking in an appointment for any kind of injectable or laser procedure patients should always check with their practitioner that they are a registered healthcare professional."

Can we spot volcanoes on alien worlds? Astronomers say 'yes'

Can we spot volcanoes on alien worlds? Astronomers say yes
2010-09-08
Volcanoes display the awesome power of Nature like few other events. Earlier this year, ash from an Icelandic volcano disrupted air travel throughout much of northern Europe. Yet this recent eruption pales next to the fury of Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanic body in our solar system. Now that astronomers are finding rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, they're asking the next logical questions: Do any of those worlds have volcanoes? And if so, could we detect them? Work by theorists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that the answer to the ...

NIH study shows how insulin stimulates fat cells to take in glucose

2010-09-08
Using high-resolution microscopy, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have shown how insulin prompts fat cells to take in glucose in a rat model. The findings were reported in the Sept. 8 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism. By studying the surface of healthy, live fat cells in rats, researchers were able to understand the process by which cells take in glucose. Next, they plan to observe the fat cells of people with varying degrees of insulin sensitivity, including insulin resistance–considered a precursor to type 2 diabetes [http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov]. ...

Iowa State study finds corn bred to contain beta-carotene is a good source of vitamin A

Iowa State study finds corn bred to contain beta-carotene is a good source of vitamin A

AMES, Iowa -- A new Iowa State University study has found that corn bred to contain increased levels of beta-carotene is a good source of vitamin A. The discovery gives added support to the promise of biofortified corn being developed through conventional plant breeding as an effective tool to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. Beta-carotene is converted in the body to vitamin A. The researchers found that the beta-carotene in the corn was converted to vitamin A at a higher rate than what's predicted for corn, and higher than the rate for beta-carotene ...
