The F.C. Sturtevant Company Announces Endorsement by Podiatrist for Use of Columbia Antiseptic Powder for Treatment of Toenail Fungus Based on 25 Years of Clinical Use

(PRWEB) May 08, 2013

It's not easy to talk about toenail fungus, and it's definitely not easy to cure. Reinfection and ineffective treatments are common. However, Dr. Malcolm Allinson reveals that he endorses an inexpensive over the counter product for the treatment of toenail fungus, Columbia Antiseptic Powder, which he reports to be as effective as potentially harmful prescription remedies based on the results of 25 years of clinical patient use.

One of the most popular treatments for toenail fungus is the drug Lamisil, which is taken orally for three months and has proven effective in roughly two thirds of patients. Unfortunately, according to an April 2012 report from Novaritis, the manufacturer of Lamisil, cases of liver failure, some leading to liver transplant or death, have occurred with the use of Lamisil Tablets. (http://www.pharma.us.novartis.com/product/pi/pdf/Lamisil_tablets.pdf). One of the liver's primary functions is the removal of toxins from the bloodstream. Since the liver recognizes many drugs, including Lamisil as toxins, the drug can do profound damage to this vital organ. Not many consumers would be willing to accept liver damage in exchange for a treatment for a fungal nail infection.

Another popular treatment is anti-fungal nail polish. Prescription lacquers including Ciclopirox are not as effective as oral drugs; topical drugs often need to be applied regularly for up to one year before any significant results are achieved. There are also risks for people with sensitive skin to develop reactions including rashes and reddening of the skin.

A more modern method of treating toenail fungus is Laser therapy. Studies have found that about a third of all patients that undergo laser treatment will be successfully cured of the fungus. The downsides are the cost of nearly $ 1000.00 per treatment, as well as documented cases of burns on the nails and skin.

For a more natural alternative, look to phenolic antiseptic powder such as Columbia Antiseptic Powder to treat fungus. The antiseptic properties of phenol were used by Sir Joseph Lister (18271912) in his revolutionary technique of antiseptic surgery. Lister determined that phenol kills harmful bacteria and fungus that caused infection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Lister,_1st_Baron_Lister). For this reason his methods of treating infections, both bacterial and fungal, have stood the test of time.

The one product that has been used by physicians and other health care professionals to treat toenail fungus for over 135 years is Columbia Antiseptic Powder. It's made in the USA by one of the countrys oldest and most dedicated skin care products companies.

For best results, Dr. Malcolm Allinson, Podiatrist, recommends applying Columbia Antiseptic Powder to the infected area after a foot bath or mixing a teaspoon of the powder with a few drops of water to form a paste which can be applied to the toenail as often as needed. Dr. Allinson reports that using this powder as a treatment for toenail fungus has been as effective as most of the more commonly used treatments, without any of the alternative method's side effects.

"The new trend is organics" says Skin Laser Studios Owner Marta Rodriguez. "People are beginning to be more aware of the effects of chemicals on their skin so they are opting for organic products. Be aware however, that while they may smell delicious they may not be very effective. Natural products have to be highly concentrated in order to be potent. Look for the active ingredients to be first or second on the list."

Ms. Rodriguez is an expert in skin care with over 30 years of experience. While an expert on electrolysis, laser hair removal and acne treatment her signature service is the Perfect Laser Facial that works to correct large pores, fine lines, breakouts, sun damage and dehydration in order to perfect the skin and bring it back to its normal state.

Melrose

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 22, 2013

Five years ago, Melrose Hair Extensions launched its luxury hair extensions company with a mission to offer the highest-quality, most affordable natural human hair extension products in the industry. As Jane Louie, Melroses Public Relations Officer reports, about the only thing that hasnt changed in the industry since Melrose Hairs inception is its passion to produce natural, flowing lengths that outlast the test of time.

Our success in the hair extensions industry over the past five years is just as much about our commitment to excellent customer service as it is to evolving by incorporating innovations and new processes and techniques.

Being present in the factory to oversee every order is our commitment to customer service so that we can make sure our extensions retain their luster and manageability.

Toni & Guy Opticians Celebrates 10 Years of Designer Eyewear

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 19 February 2013

It has been 50 years since the first Toni & Guy salon opened, but the global SuperBrand has another reason to celebrate in 2013 10 successful years of its eyewear brand extension, Toni & Guy Opticians. The eyewear store distinguished itself from the high street competition in 2009 when it committed itself to exceptional value and began trading solely online. By focusing exclusively on offering a huge range of quality designer glasses and sunglasses at an unrivalled price, the company has gained a loyal legion of fashion forward followers.

Toni & Guy, the official sponsor to London Fashion Week and sponsor of many up and coming British fashion designers, has always believed that hair styling is an integral part of achieving a complete look. Its Hair Meet Wardrobe website demonstrates how the company has empowered its customers to express themselves through complementing their hair and fashion choices. Since 2003 Toni & Guy Opticians has given its customers the same opportunity to extend this expression with a critically chosen range of designer eyewear. Co-founder of Toni & Guy, Toni Mascolo, makes it clear that prescription glasses should be about so much more than correcting vision: As a spectacle wearer since my childhood Ive always understood the importance of having good vision and creating a total look.

As well as offering prescription glasses from renowned designers such as Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo, and Tom Ford, an in-house range of designs from Toni & Guy Opticians, known as TONI&GUY Global, is also available. This range of innovative frames takes inspiration from vintage and contemporary classics, making high fashion eyewear affordable on any budget. The frames, named after towns and cities where Toni & Guy has salons, demonstrate the international appeal of the brand.

Quality and choice is not just restricted to frames when shopping at Toni & Guy Opticians as the lens manufacturer Essilor, creator of the worlds first varifocal lens in 1959, provides a range of lenses that have been designed with the aid of cutting edge technology. The combination of high fashion frames and cutting-edge lenses from market leaders Essilor ensure fantastic views from both sides of the lens.

While people have become accustomed to an online shopping experience that is quick and easy, Toni & Guy Opticians has focused on creating resources that will help its customers maintain healthy eyes and choose the right glasses for their look and lifestyle through a series of online guides. From helping customers select frames that complement their face shape and, of course, their hair style and colour, to information about how to care for their glasses and eyes, the website has become so much more than just an online store.

While the ten-year anniversary provides an excellent occasion to reflect on how the company has grown, the looking back wont last long as Toni & Guy Opticians heads confidently into its second decade.

Brothers Toni and Guy Mascolo opened the first Toni & Guy salon in London, Clapham in 1963. During the course of 50 successful years and countless industry awards the company has grown to become the only global hairdressing SuperBrand, with 420 salons in 42 countries worldwide and 5000 employees in the UK alone. Toni & Guy Opticians launched in 2003, with an emphasis on providing customers with the same cutting-edge style that the hairdressing brand is known and loved for.

Greenwich Dermatology's Celebrates Over 25 Years in Business

Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) February 27, 2013

Doctors Henry and Michele Gasiorowski, who founded Greenwich Dermatology in 1984, where they perform a variety of dermatologic treatments and have an exceptionally comprehensive laser center, attribute success to their commitment to always putting the patient first. No matter what treatment we are performing, patient safety and satisfaction is our number one goal, said Dr. Henry Gasiorowski.

With cutting edge technology playing such an enormous role in our practice, we are acutely conscious of embracing only those new technologies that have demonstrated their clinical value and have been documented in the scientific literature, he added. Its medical staff exclusively performs the procedures and treatments at Greenwich Dermatology.

Its no wonder that Greenwich Dermatology would turn to Palomar Medical Technologies, a global leader in laser- and light-based systems for aesthetic treatments, based in Burlington, MA, for its laser tools. The practice uses the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System and its optimized light handpiece, the MaxG to perform treatments such as photo rejuvenation (clearing unwanted pigment and vascular lesions) and the Vectus Laser to perform hair removal along with the Skintel Melanin Reader, the only FDA-cleared melanin reader for use with light-based treatments.

What I love the most about working with Palomar is its high standard when it comes to research and the science behind its products, said Dr. Henry Gasiorowski. The ultimate benefactor from these standards are the patients so it is a win-win for everyone.

Patients seeking aesthetic laser treatments at Greenwich Dermatology can feel confident in the care theyll receive. The medical staff receives training from Palomar on the laser systems, and providers gain significant hands-on experience before procedures are offered to the public.

When asked the best advice for an individual considering a laser treatment, Dr. Gasiorowski recommends talking to friends. You will get the best advice from friends who can give you tips on what to expect based on their personal experiences, he said.

Long-time residents of Fairfield County, Doctors Henry and Michele Gasiorowski are not only committed to their patients, but they also support many local charities in the area including the United Way, Kids in Crisis and the Bruce Museum. Giving back to our community and helping others is extremely important to us both personally and professionally, added Dr. Henry Gasiorowski. In their spare time, the doctors can be found outdoors hiking, skiing, fly fishing and playing tennis.

Home Design Trends Push Hardwood Flooring Sales Up 3 Consecutive Years

Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) March 15, 2013

Despite a slowdown in the overall economy, home remodeling involving hardwood surface flooring continued to make inroads in the U.S. floor coverings market in 2012, according to Catalina Research results. "Premium residential neighborhoods have chosen hardwood flooring significantly more often for three years in a row, like we find in our Wayzata home renovations," commented Destiny Homes.

"Twin Cities residential Realtors that I talk with agree- homes with hardwood floors hold their value better, sell homes quicker and fetch higher prices. When buyers have a selection, hardwood floors may well make the difference between selling your home or watching a potential buyer turn around and purchase a home that does," says Butch Sprenger, owner of Destiny Homes.

According to Catalinas Quarterly Updates, the value of hardwood flooring sales is estimated to have increased three consecutive years by:

4.3% additional gains in 2012

4.4% increase up in 2011

15.8% gain in 2010

Destiny Homes Has Found The Following Benefits of Hardwood Flooring:

Hardwood Flooring Increases A Home's Value - Hardwood floor installations increase the market value of a home and enhance its desirability. The key is quality of wood grade that is used. Top grade suppliers select hardwood devoid of naturally occurring "character marks." Trendy homes designed with a rustic country charm; may find character grades to fit their interior d

Top 5 Beauty Products for Looking 10 Years Younger Now

Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 20, 2013

TheBeautyPlace.com, an online store of salon beauty products at discounted prices features the top 5 beauty products for Spring 2013. Featured brands include Bio Ionic, Tan Towel, Glo Minerals, TIGI Bed Head, and Supersmile Teeth Whitening Systems.

"Loose, bouncy curls change your look to fun and young," said Rebecca, lead beauty specialist at TheBeautyPlace.com. To create this hairstyle, a smoothing product like TIGI Bed Head After Party Smoothing Cream is applied on towel-dried hair. To create curls that last, Rebecca recommends using a curling iron with ionic technology like the Bio Ionic Stylewinder. Ionic technology creates hairstyles with less frizz and seals the hair cuticle. What makes the curling iron unique is its rotating barrel design making it easy to unwind hair from a hot barrel.

"Faking perfect skin is easy with Glo Minerals," said Rebecca. Glo Minerals is mineral makeup that covers imperfections and gives the appearance of flawless skin. It contains antioxidants and vitamins to help fix skin problems like blemishes and hyperpigmentation. It also contains silica, a natural wrinkle filler. Glo Minerals Pressed Base is a powder foundation that offers sheer to full coverage leaving a semi-matte finish. It is available in 18 shades.

"A bright and white smile makes you look younger and prettier," stated Rebecca. She recommends the Supersmile Teeth Whitening System Duo which uses a combination of both calcium peroxide and baking soda to dissolve stains gently while strengthening the enamel. After brushing with the paste plus Supersmile Professional Whitening Accelerator every day for a week teeth are brightened by up to 4 shades.

Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute Celebrates Ten Years of Service to Patients

Prescott, Arizona (PRWEB) March 26, 2013

Robin Fleck, M.D., founder and medical director of Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute is pleased to announce that 2013 marks the tenth anniversary of her medical practice in Prescott, Arizona. Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute, and Dr. Flecks other specialty practices, Vein Specialties, and Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics, strive to employ the ultimate in scientific knowledge, focusing on the treatment of skin problems and the aging process. The practice treats patients with skin cancer as well as offering a full range of cosmetic services including, Botox, dermal fillers, laser hair and tattoo removal, varicose vein and spider vein treatments, and laser skin rejuvenation. Monthly promotional drawings for free services are being offered to celebrate our tenth year in business.

Skin cancer is prevalent in Arizona. There are three main types of skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma which are caused by overexposure to the sun and tanning beds. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of these cancers is the key to decreasing morbidity and mortality from skin cancer. Dr. Fleck is a recognized expert in the diagnosis and surgical removal of skin cancer.

Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute also cares for patients with acne. Whether in teens or in older adults, acne is an embarrassing condition which is usually curable. There are many causes of acne, including poor diet, infection, alcohol intake, and allergies. A careful history and physical examination is essential in sorting out the root cause and arriving at an effective treatment regimen. We have many happy clients, whose chronic acne has cleared quickly after theyve seen Dr. Fleck, notes Alyssa Frainier, medical assistant at Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute.

Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute also offers a variety of antiaging treatments including Botox and Xeomin, which remove frown lines and crows feet; and cosmetic fillers such as Restylane and Radiesse. Dermal fillers can be used to augment the cheekbones, reduce wrinkles and scars while also reshaping the nose or rejuvenating the hands. Procedures can be done over a lunch hour with no downtime and minimal expense.

Dr. Flecks cosmetic laser practice, Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics, was founded in 2005, and has been at the forefront of laser rejuvenation for aging skin. The Acculift Laser Lipo treatment tightens the skin around the lower face, neck and jowls which contribute to an obese, aged appearance. The Acculift treatment can be combined with the Active FX fractional CO2 laser which removes age spots, fine lines and wrinkles and tightens lax skin on the neck and around the eyes. Patients who have undergone the combination laser procedure have experienced extremely positive results, often equaling the improvement seen with surgical facelifts with half the downtime and costs, and no scars.

Last year, Dr. Fleck acquired the Pinpointe laser which is FDA-approved to treat nail fungus. Clinical studies have shown a 75% clearance of nail fungus with a single treatment. Our experience with this laser has been even better, with clearance approaching 95% when the laser is combined with a short course of antifungal medication, reports Dr. Fleck.

Dr. Flecks other specialty clinic, Vein Specialties, opened in 2007, offers cutting edge laser treatments for varicose and spider veins. Varicose veins are the result of heredity, obesity, age, trauma to the legs, and pregnancy. Symptoms include leg pain, swelling, heaviness, cramping, restless leg syndrome, and spider veins. With endovenous laser ablation and sclerotherapy, many patients can eliminate symptomatic varicose veins in less than a month.

For more information, contact Alyssa Frainier at 928-778-0808.

Cosmetic dermatologist, Robin Fleck, M.D., is a double board certified dermatologist and internist, recognized by the American Board of Dermatology and the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is the proud founder and medical director of Southwest Skin and Cancer Institute and Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics, http://www.rejuvadoc.com.

Sensitive Touch Medical Spa in Midtown Manhattan Reports a 25% Increase in Laser Hair Removal Treatments for Men over the Last 5 Years

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

Sensitive Touch Medical Spa in Midtown Manhattan reports a 25% increase in laser hair removal for men over the last 5 years, with the trend continually growing. Men are slowly catching up to the ladies and more of them are grooming their bodies for vanity, comfort, to please their partners or succumb to the pressure of our youth obsessed society. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery laser hair removal for men has become one of the most popular non-invasive treatments.

For centuries, humans have equated hairiness with beasts and hairlessness with beauty. There is also an erotic, sexual component to hairlessness because your skin is more sensitive when its more exposed, said Nancy Etcoff, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School. For decades, the male beauty ideal was hairy and beastly while the hairless youthfulness was reserved for the ladies. However, in the last decade it has become more acceptable and actually more desirable for men to be groomed and hair free.

The trend in male beauty has shifted. Men are looking increasingly more and more metrosexual. The management at Sensitive Touch Medical Spa in NYC quickly recognized this shift as well as the growing demand for laser hair removal treatments among men. Believers in the giving men what they want motto, these industry leaders have regularly been designing offers and marketing materials that cater to this manly demographic.

We carefully plan and design select specials and marketing materials that speak to the male client, who makes purchase decisions very differently from the female client. Facts and benefits are the two dominant factors that determine a commitment from a male client and our past and current promotions are centered on these two principles, reported Sabina Kozak, the Spa Director of Sensitive Touch Medical Spa. Over the last five years that we have been in business we have seen a steady growth of male clients interested in removing excess hair from their body and face.

Blame it on the metrosexual David Beckham, the youth obsessed society, or men wanting to show off their sculpted bodies. Whatever the individual reason for the treatment, 30% of Sensitive Touchs current clients are young and young at heart men that want to look and feel their best. Laser hair removal treatments help them achieve this goal.

Last Chance to Vote for Winner of Fit Yummy Mummy New Years Transformation Challenge, Says FYM Owner Holly Rigsby

Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) April 11, 2013

Only one day remains in the voting for the winner of the 2013 New Years Transformation Challenge Presented by Fit Yummy Mummy, says company owner and fat loss for moms expert Holly Rigsby. Polls will be open all day for voters to pick from among nine Finalists.

The New Years Transformation Challenge, one of several such fat loss challenges offered to busy moms through Fit Yummy Mummy each year, began a little over 12 weeks ago.

Fit Yummy Mummy has had a lot of success helping moms lose weight through these short-term fat loss challenges, says Holly Rigsby, owner and founder of the company. While there is indeed a competitive spirit, these challenges are supportive and fun for all involved.

Each Transformation Challenge offered by Fit Yummy Mummy makes use of a unique theme. This year, the company decided to get 2013 off to a healthy start by launching its first Transformation Challenge of the year to coincide with the start of the New Year.

Every year new moms across the country resolve to take up more postpartum workouts and pay more attention to their diets, all in an effort to get their pre-baby body back, Rigsby explains. At FYM, we wanted to really help them stick to that resolution.

For just 12 short weeks, women in the United States and abroad joined the 2013 New Years Transformation Challenge hoping to banish their baby belly and get back into shape through FYMs uniquely specialized postnatal exercise programs.

After collecting essays from many of the women who participated in the contest, Rigsby has narrowed down the challengers to 9 Finalists who have made the most impressive body transformations.

Today is the last day voters can go online and vote for the winner of the 2013 New Years Transformation Challenge. Voters will have to decide amongst 9 women who achieved impressive fat loss results.

Allie, of North Carolina, lost 5 pounds and 3 combined inches off of her belly and hips. Christy, a mother of 2 from Tennessee, lost 15.5 pounds, while Emily, a 28 year old mother of 3 from Pennsylvania, lost nearly 10 pounds.
