Hope Brown Special to the Jewish News 40 PAr, A Michigan's No. 1 Specialist Granted Patent for Stimulating Hair Growth! renew 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. HAIR & SKIN CENTER 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.

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. ❑
