...What is the Cost of Laser Hair Removal? This is the most commonly asked question by people considering laser hair removal. The price depends on several factors. You should expect to have several sessions with the laser. Even in smaller areas, each follicle needs to be hit during its growth phase. This will take a few sessions, as not all follicles are ever in the growth phase together. Although laser hair removal prices can be high, many people find the cost worth it to have the unwanted hair removed permanently. In many cases, the cost is in the range of other permanent hair removal techniques. Laser isn't more expensive than the cost of electrolysis. Consider what you spend now for hair removal. Over time, you will save money on the cost of body waxing or depilatory products. 5 Factors...

...Hypertrichosis is a genetic disorder which causes excess hair growth. In different cases of hypertrichosis the hair can only be in a specific part of the body. In other hypertrichosis cases the hair will grow all over the body. In this report I will state some of the cases that have been reported. The two main types of hypertrichosis is congenital and acquired. Congenital Hypertrichosis occurs during birth meaning the condition is there since birth. This condition occurs when the lanugo doesn’t fall off of the fetus during the eighth month of pregnancy. Lanugo is the layer of hair that forms in the fetus but normally falls off. Acquired Hypertrichosis occurs sometime after birth. This condition will cause either hair growth all over the body...

...Stem cells: What they are and what they do Researchers believe stem cells offer great promise for new medical treatments. Learn about stem cell types, current and possible uses, ethical issues and the state of research. By Mayo Clinic staff You've heard about stem cells in the news, and perhaps you've wondered if they might help you or a loved one with a serious disease. You may wonder what stem cells are, how they're being used to treat disease and injury, and why they're the subject of such vigorous debate. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about stem cells. Why is there such an interest in stem cells? Researchers hope stem cell studies can help to: * Increase understanding of how diseases occur. By watching stem cells mature into cells that eventually become bones, heart muscle, nerve cells, and other organs and tissue, researchers and doctors may better understand how a variety of diseases and conditions develop. * Generate healthy cells to replace diseased cells (regenerative medicine). Researchers hope they can train stem cells into becoming specific cells so that those specialized cells can be used to regenerate and repair diseased or damaged tissues in people. People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis. Stem cells could also be grown to become new...

...------------------------------------------------- Gillette Case Study Date: June 25, 2016 ------------------------------------------------- Situation Analysis The personal care and grooming industry is an industry characterized as an oversaturated market with limited innovation. The wet shaving market is believed to have peaked by many analysts. These analysts look to the introduction of “new” technology like the 5+1 blade. This razor and other similar razors are accused of being a more expensive razor with no added benefits from the triple or quadruple razors previously released. Gillette, an industry leader has one direct competitor, the Schick Company. Gillette is estimated to have an approximate global market share of 71%, while Schick Company holds 17%. In the past, Gillette has demonstrated the ability to combat competitive threats with innovative technology for the disposable razor, but still rely heavily on the cash cow products as new entrants are welcomed in to the market. With the constraints of limited innovation Gillette has invested largely in to their marketing strategy, in efforts to expand their market share and ultimately maximize their profits. While Gillette’s bread and butter products are in considered to be in a mature market and considered to have an enviable position in that market as an organization, market expansion is necessary. It is important for Gillette to focus their marketing plan and strategy to either capture...

...offering in the market. The two combined make up 23.3% of the company’s share of the industry. Additionally, the shaving market is divided into three categories of “shavers”, each with unique needs from their razor. These are: maintenance shavers, social/emotional and aesthetic shavers. Recently, Paramount developed a new non-disposable razor, Clean Edge. With a new design, the Clean Edge offers scientifically proven, superior performance as it utilizes a vibrating technology to stimulate hair follicles and lift hair from the skin, which allows for a more thorough shave. Paramount is now faced with two options in introducing the Clean Edge razor in the market. With its innovative new features, Clean Edge will be priced in the “super premium” segment of the market. Competitor Overview Paramount’s competition consists of both direct competitors as well as substitute products. Substitute products include disposable razors, electric shavers, depilatory creams, waxing and laser hair removal. While disposable razors provide a “wet” shave alternative, they lack the innovation and technology that are standard for non-disposable razors produced by Paramount and its direct competitors. As a result, disposable razors mainly compete on...

...[pic] HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL BRIEF CASES 4249 JANUARY 19, 2011 JOHN A. QUELCH HEATHER BECKHAM Clean Edge Razor: Splitting Hairs in Product Positioning On August 9, 2010, a group of executives from Paramount Health and Beauty Company (Paramount) sat in a research room intently observing a dozen men shaving on the other side of a two-way mirror. The subjects were testing out Paramount's newest nondisposable razor, Clean Edge, and discussing the experience. The verdict was extremely encouraging. The majority of men felt it was the closest, cleanest, and smoothest shave they had encountered. Clean Edge's improved design provided superior performance by utilizing a vibrating technology to stimulate hair follicles and lift the hair from the skin, allowing for a more thorough shave.1 Jackson Randall, product manager for Clean Edge, sat in the darkened observation room considering the positioning strategy for this new product. He had led the new product development process and was now grappling with how to position the product for the upcoming launch. All executives at Paramount agreed Clean Edge should be priced in the super-premium segment of the market. However, some executives believed Clean Edge should be launched as a mainstream entry within that segment, with the broad appeal of being the most effective razor available on the market. Others felt a more differentiated niche strategy, targeting the most intensely involved super-premium consumers, would be optimal...

...ridge and vestibular areas can greatly improve denture stability and retention. In some cases, patients have severe bone changes or soft tissue abnormalities that require extensive surgical preparation before the prosthetic appliance can be properly constructed and worn. Procedures that improve prosthesis retention and stability are discussed and illustrated in Chapter 13. One of the most exciting frontiers in dentistry is implantology. Proper bony and soft tissue reconstruction followed by placement of implants and subsequent prosthetic reconstruction can provide patients with a more natural and efficient substitution for their lost dentition. Depending on the circumstances, several types of implant systems may be used. Chapter 14 discusses the various types of implant systems currently in use and their advantages, disadvantages, and indications for use. 247 Preprosthetic Surgery Mark W. Ochs and Myron R.

Air, whether it is from outside or re-circulated within the area, acts as a vehicle for airborne contaminants brought in by the movement of people, material, etc. Since many of these airborne contaminants are harmful either to products or people working in such environments their removal is necessary on medical, legal, social or financial grounds. Cleanrooms are specially constructed, environmentally controlled enclosed spaces where the concentration of airborne particles (contaminants) is kept within specified limits. In industry, cleanrooms are used in the manufacturing of electronic hardware such as integrated circuits (ICs) and hard drives. In biotechnology and medicine, cleanrooms are used when it is necessary to ensure an environment free of bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Four fundamental rules apply to cleanrooms. 1) First, contaminants must not be introduced into the controlled environment from the outside. 2) Second, the apparatus or equipment within the controlled environment must not generate or otherwise give rise to contaminants (for example as a result of friction, chemical reactions, or biological processes). 3) Third...
