Dept. of hair woes
The following was sent to us from Invention Technologies Incorporated, "a launch pad for new ideas."
Enclosed please find a Press Release to announce the development of an exciting new invention by one of our clients. Your readers will certainly identify with the common problems it will address and should find its solutions to be of great interest:
Ponytail Ties Stay Put With New Product
Anyone who wears their hair in a ponytail knows that conventional hair ties can easily become stretched out. And there is always the problem of where to keep them, especially when traveling. Now there is a product designed as the ultimate ponytail tie holder, easy to toss in a handbag, and ideal for the job of holding hair ties all in one place.
Inventor Gary S. Kaeser cam with the idea for the Pony Tie Holder in February, 1996. He wanted to create a simple tool that would solve an ongoing problem in his household.
Dept. of more hair woes
The following was sent to us from Andover Communications, Inc., a Fort Lee based PR firm.
It seems that ever since we first transitioned from ape to man, or so it would seem, we have been using various remedies for the removal of unwanted hair form our face and body.
Over the years, this has evolved from plucking to shaving, from waxing to bleaching. For more long-term hair removal, we turned to electrolysis. Now we’ve reached a new frontier with the arrival of new lasers.
Until very recently, however, there was no lasers that worked effectively with dark-skinned and tanned people who, until recently, were not candidates for laser hair removal.
That’s changed with the advent of a laser with Extended Duration Pulse technology that has proven safe and effective on all skin types…
"Patients tell us that we’ve changed their lives," said Dr. David Mendes, a board certified plastic surgeon. "That’s not really surprising when you think how much time we tend to spend in front of the mirror thinking how much we’d like to remove those dark course hairs form our face or a part of our body."
The procedure is virtually pain-free, although certain areas of the body tend to be more sensitive than others. A topical anesthesia may be used to minimize any sensitivity. Redness and minor swelling may appear for a brief time with some patients. Most, however, return to work and normal activities immediately afterwards.
