"Hair is everywhere — my comb, floor, drain, clothes ... is this normal?"
"I think I can actually see through my hair."
Suzanne Tedesco, a certified laser therapist, has been hearing these concerns from men and women for 5
years when they first call or visit Michigan Hair and Skin Center in Troy. Many are frustrated because they can
diet and exercise to help control their shape, and they can keep their smiles healthy with regular dental care,
but they feel a total loss of control over their thinning hair. "All of our clients have stopped losing hair and
experienced regrowth," she says.
The Michigan Hair and Skin Center uses an FDA-approved system of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to reverse
hair loss, and make thin weak hair thicker and healthier. Most importantly, LLLT actually re-grows hair without
surgery, implants, drugs, or invasive practices.
LLLT is medically tested and proven to be safe and effective. A study published in the International Journal
of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology showed a 93 percent increase in hair among the respondents
using the laser. "Thinning hair occurs when the follicles are strangled by excessive DHT (dihydrotestoserone),"
Tedesco explains. "The laser breaks away the DHT, allowing the hair follicles to get the nutrients necessary
to re-grow hair."
In fact, she says, "Anyone who still has active hair follicles can benefi from laser therapy. Even where hair
isn't visible, active follicles may still be present, making re-growth a possibility. Of course, follicles die after a
few years, so the sooner someone seeks treatment, the better."
LLLT isn't a fad or gimmick. It has been used in Europe for more than 20 years, and has been featured on
Dateline, the ABC news, MSNBC, and in Women's Health and Men's Health magazines. Recently, there was a
laser hair therapy segment on CBS-TV's The Doctors, and Barbara Walters of The View called it a "hot new
product."
The Michigan Hair and Skin Center in Troy uses Michigan's only premium LLLT machine. The machine's 451
lasers are housed in a salon hair dryer-like cap, and they stimulate hair growth over the entire scalp. "Similar
to how sunlight stimulates the body to produce melanin, resulting in a tan, the laser light stimulates the
follicles to re-grow hair," Tedesco says. "It simply helps the body heal itself."

id you know that if you're like the
average American, you'll spend
more time caring for your aging
parents than you will for your own child?
That statistic comes from the
American Association of Retired People,
which says that 65 million Americans
spend about 20 hours a week caring for
their elderly parents.
But what other options are there for
people who want to help their parents
age in place in their own homes?
Supportive home care. It's not as
unaffordable as you may think, according
to Lorrie Zorbo, national director of
sales for Arcadia Home Care & Staffing,
which has its corporate headquarters in
Southfield and nine locations throughout
the state.
Depending on the needs of your
parent, home care costs between $18
and $22 an hour, she says. The typical
person may use two to three hours
of care each day about three days a
week. Long-term care insurance policies
generally include a home care benefit.
Although often home care is used for
short-term care, after a broken bone or a
lengthy hospital stay, it is also beneficial
in the long term for clients who need a
helping hand with the daily activities of
life.
"Some people need help with
personal care, meals, light housekeeping
and companionship," Zorbo says. "These
kinds of services contribute to the overall
well-being of the individual and can
prevent trips to the emergency room."
Compliance with medication is a huge
problem among the elderly. Forgetting
to take one's pills or taking them at the
wrong time can lead to serious health
issues and possibly hospitalizations.
Having a home health aide assist with
medication reminders can minimize this
risk.
