Tips For Discussing Hair Loss With Clients

Or, you might ask your client if theyve noticed more hair coming out in the shower or when brushing their hair lately, or ask if their hair has become more difficult to style. If your client does mention their hair loss, the first step is to suggest a visit to their doctor or dermatologist. They will be able to determine the cause of the hair loss and rule out any underlying health concerns. Hair loss can occur from a wide array of reasons, including hereditary hair loss (also known as androgenic alopecia or female/male pattern hair loss, the most common cause of hair loss), menopause, thyroid problems, immune issues, medications including birth control pills, stress, nutrient deficiencies, and many other reasons. What are some natural suggestions for clients with hair loss? Some simple, natural suggestions for your client include encouraging them to maintain a healthy diet that focuses on fresh, whole foods and to avoid refined or processed foods. Fruits and vegetables provide an abundance of colorful, protective antioxidants and other phytonutrients; healthy fats and oils such as from avocados and nuts, and omega-3 fatty acids from cold-water fish, help regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation in the follicles; high-quality protein provides key amino acids that help ensure the developing hair shaft is strong; and drinking plenty of water, green tea, or herbal teas will help flush out waste byproducts from the follicles.

PRP one of many new hair-loss therapies

Question: Is there a natural approach to hair restoration? Answer: The days of unnatural-looking surgical transplantations are long gone, as men and women now have many options at their disposal to safely and effectively treat all kinds of hair loss. They are now replaced by therapies ranging from vitamins to minimally-invasive, natural-looking hair transplantation. One new and exciting therapy is the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This involves drawing a patients own blood and spinning it down to isolate the plasma that contains platelets and growth factors. This blood product is then injected into the areas of the scalp where there is hair loss or thinning. When combined with the use of a micro-needling instrument, this treatment has been shown to invigorate miniaturized and damaged follicles, and lead to hair growth.

Turtle Eye Muscle Adapts To Deal With Obstructed Vision

And, indeed, the researchers found that a turtle pulls its eyes in different directions when its head is out of its shell compared to when its head is retracted deep within its shell. Because the pond turtle can pull its head entirely into its shell, resulting in an obstructed field of vision, it appears that this turtle has developed a way to compensate and direct its eyes forward to best examine its environment. Moreover, the superior oblique muscle may play a role in this behavior as its direction of pull is more like that of a front-eyed animal than that of animals with eyes on the side of their heads. Eye movements are related to the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), a reflex whose brain pathways are also studied by Ariel. The VOR allows your eyes to adjust their position when you move your head.

Honored Budd Lake eye doctor urges infant exams

Dentistry has done a great job in educating the public for routine exams every six months, said Siegel who owns and practices at Vision Source of Mount Olive, located at 135 Route 46 East, Paramount Plaza, in Budd Lake. We are doing our best to educate the public to make parents aware of the need for early eye exams. Siegel said childrens vision problems often go undetected and result in poor grades in school and even exacerbate learning disabilities. Learning starts with vision, Siegel said. The persistent increasing use of computers by adults and children also has paralleled an increase in eye strain. In addition, excessive close-up work on computers can cause near sightedness and possibly glaucoma. Siegel said adequate lighting is vital as is an anti-glare lens on the computer monitor. Children and adults also should take regular breaks from the computer. Get up and away at least every couple of hours, Siegel said.

Transitions Optical And Country Music Artist Darius Rucker Strike The Right Chord By Helping Children Experience Healthy, Enhanced Vision

“Research shows that 80 percent of learning is visual,” said Brian Hauser, general manager, U.S. and Canada, Transitions Optical. “At Transitions Optical, we are committed to continuing to raise awareness about the importance of proper eye care and eyewear, not only by identifying vision issues, but also by correcting them and enhancing people’s vision with Transitions lenses. Working with Darius Rucker as a brand ambassador this year has provided us with relevant opportunities to reach even more people, adults and children alike, to educate them about our family of products and which Transitions lenses best fit their lifestyle.” At the events, the children also received free, brand new books from Transitions Optical’s partner, Bess the Book Bus, a mobile literacy outreach organization that travels to underserved schools and community centers nationwide distributing books to encourage a love of reading. This is the fifth year that Transitions Optical and VSP have partnered with the Book Bus and more than 300,000 books have been given to children as part of the “Success is In Sight” multi-city tour to date. The children and their families also learned more about eye health through lesson plans provided by Transitions Optical as part of its “Eye Didn’t Know That!” program, which serves as a resource for parents, teachers and students to understand the importance of regular, comprehensive eye exams and taking care of your eyes.
