4.  Test area: Anterior shin.

It is probably no surprise that stress can wreck havoc on your body, hormones and subsequently, your face. The body naturally releases a hormone called cortisol during a stressful situation coined the “fight or flight” response. If the body maintains a constant level of stress without allowing for drops in cortisol levels, a chronic state of stress is maintained. This high-cortisol state can have adverse effects on the body. One such side effect is inflammation and lowered immune response.

5.  For control purposes 50 terminal hairs are to be removed within a very concentrated area, with an electrified needle and in close proximity, 50 terminal hairs are to be removed by the test method.

Adequate hydration plays an important role in vibrant, healthy skin, by acting in digestion and absorption of vitamins and nutrients. It is also responsible for regulating body temperature, eliminating wastes and toxins and even lubricating joints.

6.  The control and test sites are to be carefully examined weekly for 9 weeks. Hairs

appearing within 14 days are to be considered anagen hair, which will be charted and not considered regrowth. Regrowth hair is hair which emanates from treated follicles. 

7.  After 9 weeks results will be recorded and efficacy will be determined.

Diet, nutrition and exercise all contribute to the overall vitality, youthfulness and appearance of the skin. Exercise allows toxins to be released from the body through perspiration. It has been shown that a diet high in saturated fats, preservatives and milk products can irritate blemishes. Another source may be iodine, which has been shown to aggravate acne.

Smoking, though more recently becoming less fashionable, is still one of the most skin damaging toxins around. Not only does smoking make skin appear more aged and wrinkled, but the average cigarette releases over 43 carcinogens when burned that enter your lungs and eventually your blood stream. Do yourself a favor and forget the smokes.
