Highly Regarded San Diego Dermatologist William Groff, DO, Travels To Pennsylvania To Teach Advanced Injection Training Course

San Diego, California (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

Dr. William Groff, respected dermatologist in San Diego, traveled to York, Pennsylvania this past week to teach an advanced injection training course on behalf of Allergan Inc., the makers of the popular injectable treatments Botox and Juvederm. The course focused on providing others in the cosmetic field with a better understanding of how to achieve optimal patient results through highly-developed injection techniques and placements.

The key to injecting toxins and fillers is to achieve a subtle result by carefully placing the cosmetic product. We never want a patient to look like theyve had work done, but instead, to appear naturally youthful, said Dr. Groff, San Diego dermatologist.

This isnt the first time Dr. Groff has had the pleasure of teaching others and sharing his knowledge in highly specialized injection approaches, as he serves as a trainer and key opinion leader for the Allergan company. In addition, Dr. Groff has traveled the world to share his expertise in regards to other popular non-invasive cosmetic products including facial fillers Restylane, Perlane, Dysport, Radiesse, Belotero, and Xeomin.

To be able to travel and teach others in the cosmetic field is a great experience to have. Im extremely humbled to be able to do what I do because it keeps me at the forefront of new advancements in non-invasive treatments, said Dr. Groff.

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology center in San Diego, Dr. Groff helps his own patients overcome a number of skin troubles with Botox and dermal fillers that can occur as a result of the aging process, including wrinkles, fine lines, crows feet, and facial volume loss.

At my practice, Botox and facial fillers are often the go-to procedure for patients who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without any type of surgery. I can combine Botox Cosmetic and different facial fillers to develop a customized treatment plan for each person, leaving them with an extremely natural and refreshed look, said Dr. Groff. "This procedure has recently been dubbed a 'liquid facelift.'"

Chester County Beekeepers Association Meeting to be Held Saturday, May 11 at The Stroud Preserve, West Chester, Pennsylvania

West Chester, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

The Chester County Beekeepers Associations May 11 meeting will be held at The Stroud Preserve, West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States at 9:00 AM.

The Chester County Beekeepers Association is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania and is a non-profit beekeeping club with membership open to the public. They have approximately 100 members, who share a common interest in honey bees and beekeeping. Many of their members keep bees as a hobby, but some of the members are involved in beekeeping as a sideline or main business.

The Chester County Beekeepers Associations aim is to:

Assist members in the art and science of beekeeping, including sharing effective techniques, coping with problems and challenges, and supporting each other in their efforts.

Promulgate information to the public about the valuable role of honey bees in nature and agriculture.

Encourage more people to become involved in beekeeping.

About Honey Bees

Bees are insects that are related to wasps and ants and there are approximately 20,000 known species of bees found on every continent except Antarctica. Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are not native to the United States as they were introduced by Europeans to produce honey and beeswax. Honeybees are responsible for pollinating 80% of flowering crops, and without them the worlds food supply would be dramatically reduced.

As people become more conscious of the important role that honeybees play in their daily lives, beekeeping is becoming more main stream and is now allowed in many urban and suburban municipalities. Since 2006, beekeepers in the North America and Europe have noticed a mystifying occurrence called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly disappear, leaving the queen and insect larvae behind, unable to fend for themselves. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, the term colony collapse disorder was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006.

In a 2013, a formal review by the European Food Safety Authority stated that recent studies show that neonicotinoid pesticides, some of the most widely-used pesticides in the world, pose an unacceptably high risk to bees, and that the industry-sponsored science upon which regulatory agencies' claims of safety have relied is flawed and possibly deliberately deceptive.

Honey has been used by humans since ancient times for its health benefits and as a sweetener and flavoring for many foods and beverages, with tea being the most popular. Next to maple syrup, it is the most popular natural sweetener in North America.

Honey bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and regurgitating it into beeswax honeycombs inside their hive. Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the hive of honey bees of the genus Apis and its most popular uses are beeswax candles and as an ingredient in natural skin care products.

The flavor and color of honey is determined by the type of flower the bees gather the nectar from; therefore, when cooking or baking with honey it is a good idea to taste the honey before using it in a recipe. For example; a dark honey like tulip poplar-black locust honey will result in a strong, heavy, pungent flavor, whereas orange blossom honey will result in a delicate orange flavor. Dark-colored honey is considered to be higher in minerals and antioxidants than light-colored honey, and one of the most well-known dark colored honeys is buckwheat honey. Raw buckwheat honey contains a higher amount of minerals and an antioxidant called polyphenol, which gives it its dark color. The health benefits of buckwheat honey are many and well known.

If you are planning to buy honey for its health benefits, it must be raw honey. Heating honey (pasteurization) destroys all of the pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and aromatics. Honey that has been heated and filtered is called commercial, regular or liquid honey. The rawest honey available is comb honey which is sections of the hexagonal-shaped beeswax cells of the honeycomb that contain raw honey that have been cut from the wooden frames of a beehive.

Using raw honey is a long-term investment strategy for optimal health and personal care; the dividends are overall mental, physical and spiritual well being. Like a blue chip stock, raw honey should be included in any health-conscious consumers immune system boosting portfolio and the return on investment of substituting honey for refined sugar in the human diet is incalculable.

Pure honey is kosher since kosher honey must be 100% honey with no additives or dilutions and to get the best price when buying large quantities of honey, look for a company that sells bulk or wholesale honey.

Organic honey from the United States is a myth because the country is too developed and uses too many agricultural and industrial chemicals for the production of organic honey. Honey bees are free-roaming, wild creatures and it is impossible guarantee that while foraging they have not come in contact with prohibited substances, like pesticides.

Another product made by honey bees and used by humans is bee propolis. Propolis is a resinous substance that honey bees collect from tree buds and bark or other botanical sources and mixed with beeswax, nectar and pollen. This mixture is used by bees to seal gaps in the hive and by humans for its health benefits and as a traditional, natural or homeopathic medicine.

Pennsylvania Company Releases an Advanced Air Purification System that Eliminates Smoke, Pollen and Odor with Chemistry

Philadelphia PA (PRWEB) May 30, 2013

National Energy Technologies LLC, a Pennsylvania company is releasing a new product line that saves energy by purifying air. Along with the need to remove smoke, odor, allergens and bacteria, mechanical Air purification reduces the need to vent massive amounts of conditioned air to the outside. This system utilizes four advanced technologies as well as fan driven filtration for maximum effectiveness.

Smoke and odor as well as spring allergies can be difficult or seem impossible to control with conventional air filtration. Bars and restaurants that still allow smoking are eager to attract and protect non-smoking customers. Daycare, health care and long term care need to eliminate the odor associated with bacteria and human waste. Hair and nail salons are egar to eliminate particulate dust and the VOCs associated with trade chemicals. Fortunately, recent advancement in air purity on a molecular level has resulted in low current processes that maximize air purity and sanitization. National Energy Technologies is proud to be a factory distributer for the GT3000, GT 1500 and GT 50, possibly the most advanced lineup of commercial and whole-house air purification systems on the market. Incorporating photo catalytic oxidation technology, UV, high level negative ionization, safe levels of ozone, and electrostatic filtration, the GT3000 reduces particles and destroys bacteria providing a cleaner, healthier environment for any building.

Using four advanced technologies, the GT3000 helps to eliminate odors, smoke, pollen, dust, bacteria, mold, pet dander, viruses, and much more. According to Scott Milne, CEO, of National Energy Technologies, claims that, smoke will be eliminated during business hours and odors eradicated at night pollution is eliminated in as little as 15 minutes, and the most difficult odors in as few as 24 hours. Unlike other air purifiers that use conventional methods of filtration, the GT3000 has four advanced technologies to destroy smoke and odors in the air, embedded in walls, ceilings, floors, carpets, furniture, clothing, desks and other surfaces.

The Advanced Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) Cell in the GT3000 will not only destroy biological contaminants traveling through the cell, but it produces purifying plasma which breaks down odors, mold, bacteria and viruses. Photo Catalytic Oxidation reactors have been proven to reduce dangerous pathogens by over 99% in 24 hours or less. The GT3000 also contains both needlepoint and plate ionization, a continuous stream of millions of negative ions that circulate throughout the building. These ions charge particles of dust, smoke, dander, bacteria and viruses; causing them to attract other particles and clump together. As more and more particles come together, they become heavier, making them easier to pull into the building filter or just fall to the floor to be vacuumed up. Unlike HEPA filters that can only filter out particles of .5 microns or larger, the ionizer in the GT3000 can reduce ultra-fine particles, even nano-particles, that are much more dangerous than the larger particles you can see. In High Mode the ozone purification plate is activated to generate activated oxygen or ozone to assist in breaking down mold, bacteria, smoke and other biological contaminants which cause odors. By setting the purifier based upon the area to be treated, just the right amount of purification is produced to keep the space fresh and clean. For faster cleanup an Away Mode feature which has an auto-shutoff programmable timer allows for maximum output to be used when the room is unoccupied. An advanced electrostatic filter is included with the GT3000 to help keep the purifier clean while at the same time filter out particles which clump together thanks to the needlepoint ionization. Unlike expensive HEPA filters, the electrostatic filter is washable and can be used over and over again.
