is rescuing both women and men from hair loss by
using a highly touted, FDA-approved therapy called LLLT. It's capable of putting
an end to the problem of thinning hair, thickening existing hair, and promoting an
increase in new growth. LLLT therapy has shown impressive results in awakening
hair follicles that have become dormant due to genetics, hormonal and metabolic
changes, chemotherapy, bariatric, surgery/weight-loss, harsh chemicals, hair
applications (weaves, sew-ins, extensions) and alopecia. The process uses low-
level laser light therapy (LLLT) to increase blood flow to the scalp, regenerating
tissue — thus resulting in better hair growth.

Their Story: Robin is the daughter of a doctor, Suzie is the daughter of a
pharmacist, and the two are best friends. Through thick and thin — in this case
when Suzie began losing a healthy head of hair, leaving her with bald areas and
sparse growth all over her head — Robin did more than console her friend. She
stepped up her research to find a way to stop the hair loss. "My hair was so thin,
I wouldn't leave the house on a windy day for fear of the consequences." Suzie
admits she would have tried "anything that showed promise of giving me back my
hair" to stop the loss.

fter more than three decades
with the national full-ser-
vice architecture and engi-
neering firm Harley Ellis Devereaux
(HED), including 20 years spent at the
firm's helm as its chairman and CEO,
Jewish architect Dennis King, 66, has
retired from corporate life at the firm
to launch his specialized consulting
career. King's new company, DMKING
Consulting LLC, launched April 8 from
his home office in West Bloomfield.
Under King's leadership, the
105-year-old HED grew from a single
local office in Southfield to a national-
ly recognized industry leader with five
offices across three states, including
one in Chicago and three in California.
The commercial and institutional A/E
firm has to its credit almost every type
of building possible — from schools
and synagogues to hospitals and crime
labs to corporate headquarters and
research and development facilities.
"Leaving HED after all these years
was certainly bittersweet," says King,
who began his tenure with the firm in
1979. And although I am retired from
the firm, I am not retired in the tra-
ditional sense of the word. I intend to
spend many more years helping the local
design, construction and development
industry to thrive here in Michigan:'
Available on a consulting and part-
time basis, King's offerings at his new
firm take advantage of both his design
and construction industry expertise
and his leadership and business man-
agement focus. He is especially inter-
ested in playing an active role in the
revitalization of Detroit.
"I was raised in Detroit, attended
school there and spent the early part of
my career working there King says. "I
remember what the city once was, and
I have a passion and vision for what
it could still yet become. I want very
much to have a voice and a function in
its physical revitalization:'
King grew up in Northwest Detroit
and attended Mumford High School
(Class of 1964) before attending the
University of Michigan, where he
received his professional architecture
degree.
In his more than 40-year architec-
tural career in Michigan, King has per-
sonally contributed to dozens of build-
ing projects that dot the landscape of
Metro Detroit: the A. Alfred Taubman
Dennis King
Student Services Center at Lawrence
Technological University and the City
of Oak Park City Hall and Public Safety
Building, which is currently nearing
completion of construction, to name
a few.
He served many years as a
Beaumont Hospital trustee, where
his firm designed many significant
buildings, including the recent South
Hospital on the Royal Oak Campus.
King is currently a director of both
the Oakland County Economic
Development Corporation and the
Michigan Architectural Foundation.
King, who previously has been a
member of both the Birmingham
Temple and Temple Shir Shalom, also
has loaned his expertise to projects
throughout the local Jewish commu-
nity. Most recently, King served on
both the board of directors and build-
ing committee that in 2009 guided the
project design and construction for
Temple Shir Shalom's "The Corners" at
Inkster and Walnut Lake roads.
On a personal project, King, who
raised his family in Huntington Woods,
is currently overseeing construction of
a new Farmington Hills home for him
and his wife of 45 years, Haven.
"We're downsizing a bit now that
we're empty nesters and both retired
from corporate life;' King says. "But
there will still be plenty of space for
the family to gather:'
He has two daughters and two
granddaughters, the youngest of whom
he now has the pleasure of babysitting
each Monday since his retirement. "It's
definitely been a bit of an adjustment,
not putting on a suit every morning
and heading off to the office, but I
think this is going to be way more
fun:' King says.
