hair oral : Propecia


Propecia (Finasteride 1mg) 28s RM154.99

PROPECIA, an FDA-approved pill, is different

PROPECIA is the only once-a-day pill approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain types of male pattern hair loss in men. PROPECIA reduces DHT, a key cause of hair loss.
Clinical studies of PROPECIA demonstrated visible results.

THE FACTS ARE INA 5-year clinical study demonstrated the effectiveness of PROPECIA.
- 9 of 10 men who took PROPECIA had visible results—either regrowth of hair (48% [134 of 279]) or no further hair loss (42% [117 of 279])—vs 25% [4 of 16] who took a placebo (sugar pill), according to an assessment of photographs by an independent panel of dermatologists.

- 2 of 3 men who took PROPECIA regrew hair, as measured by hair count. All of the men in the study who were not taking PROPECIA lost hair.

- A majority of men who took PROPECIA were rated as improved by doctors—77% (210 of 271) vs 15% (2 of 13) of men who took a placebo.

- A majority of men who took PROPECIA reported that their bald spot got smaller, their hair loss slowed down, and the appearance of their hair improved.

Is PROPECIA right for you?

- Are you tired of covering up your ever-expanding bald spot?
- Would you like to have the potential to keep the hair you have and possibly regrow some hair you’ve lost?
- Are you looking for a treatment that has the convenience of a once-a-day pill?
- Are you willing to stay with PROPECIA for a year?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then PROPECIA may be the right choice for you.

For best results, take PROPECIA every day for 12 months.

You may need to take PROPECIA daily for 3 months or more before you see a benefit from taking PROPECIA. If PROPECIA has not worked for you within 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.

PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

PROPECIA was developed to treat mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in MEN ONLY. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples.
PROPECIA is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.

Just once daily, Pharmaton Capsule/Caplet delivers the key nutrients to improve your physical capabilities and helps the body cope with exhaustion and fatigue caused by stress.

Age shall not wither her” – Etsu

The two key elements in keeping the skin fresh and elastic are Plant Placenta and Collagen, a protein that acts as building blocks in the skin cells, which contains amino acids and peptides that act as bio-stimulators to the skin’s natural rejuvenation.

Beauty oral : Imedeen



Innovative
Since 1991, Imedeen has been a leader in skincare supplements, with a line of products that go below the surface, inside the body for more beautiful skin. Developed by the Danish healthcare company Ferrosan, the Imedeen line of skin supplements works to improve the skin’s quality, structure and appearance. The line of cutting-edge, all-natural formulations can be used in conjunction with your current skincare regimen for optimal results. The Scandinavian line of skincare supplements is distributed in 50 markets worldwide and has been used among Europeans for over a decade. Imedeen—synonymous worldwide with beautiful skin


Proven

Backed by science, Imedeen has undergone intense scrutiny, only to receive significant praise as the premiere skincare line in its category. Published in peer-reviewed journals and recognized at international dermatological and scientific conferences, Imedeen is not just another skincare line advertising unproven claims - extensive testing has shown documented results in improving the appearance of the skin.


Skincare

Your skin is assaulted each day by harmful external forces—devastating UV rays from the sun and pollution, as well as internal influences—nutritional neglect, alcohol consumption and smoking, in some cases. Topical creams can address the surface of the skin, offering only temporary results; however, if you are seeing an increase of lines, age spots and other visible signs associated with aging, what you are really witnessing are symptoms of what’s happening inside your body. The Imedeen oral supplements nourish the skin from within and defend the skin against these hostile assailants. The result: more beautiful and more resilient skin.






IMEDEEN ClassicTM - 2x 60's RM247.99

DR F HEULE – THE NETHERLANDSDr F Heule, Professor of Dermatology at the Academic Hospital in Rotterdam, performed a twelve week double-blind placebo-controlled study on the effects of IMEDEEN on 46 women, aged between 40-65, all of whom had mild to moderate signs of photo-ageing. At the end of the period, Dr Heule observed that a number of parameters, including wrinkles, skin texture and dilated capillaries had improved significantly in the women taking IMEDEEN. Objective measurements on this group also showed an increase in skin thickness. Dr Heule concluded that IMEDEEN has a beneficial effect on signs of photo-ageing after twelve weeks of use



DR MARIANNE KIEFFER – DENMARK The Danish dermatologist, Dr Marianne Kieffer, carried out a year long clinical study on the effects IMEDEEN on 144 women, aged between 35-50, all of whom had mild to moderate signs of photo-ageing. At the end of the study, a statistically significant improvement was shown in all the objective measuring tests, leading Dr Kieffer to conclude that IMEDEEN is active in the dermis where it improves basic skin structure and texture, as well as the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture. Over time, IMEDEEN can also help visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dilated capillaries and age spots, whilst improving the skin’s moisture balance.
“The concept of being able to improve the condition of the skin from within, instead of having to rely on skin creams, is both novel and logical. I like the idea that the skin cells are being nourished from the inside.”

SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON IMEDEEN PLUS - DR ODILE DAMOUR – LABORATORY FOR SKIN SUBSTITUTES, LYON, FRANCE

The technique of growing a fully developed 3-D skin equivalent in a laboratory environment was perfected by renowned French scientist, Dr Odile Damour and is widely used for testing the mode of action of various skincare ingredients and products.

In the study, Imedeen Plus active ingredients were used in the same ratio as in the original tablet to feed the skin cells of the skin equivalent. The effects of the ingredients were measured and compared to the control cultures which had been developed in parallel without supplementation.

The results were impressive. Compared to the controls, the skin equivalent supplemented with Imedeen Plus ingredients showed a substantial increase in the density of the dermis. Detailed investigation also showed an increased amount of protein fibres - the elements that give skin its strength and elasticity.

“In all the years I have been developing ‘in-vitro’ skin cultures, the dermal structure achieved after the addition of the Imedeen Plus ingredients was among the best ever observed”.
