HANDHELD HAIR RESTORATION
Apira Science, Newport Beach, Calif, releases iGrow, a home-use hair-restoration device that uses low-level laser therapy technology to effectively rejuvenate shedding and thinning hair. The iGrow comfortably sits atop the user’s head, providing continuous overall coverage and leaving them completely mobile and free to do other things while receiving treatment. The iGrow even allows for users to listen to music while their hair rejuvenates—it features iPod/MP3 compatibility.
The iGrow features 51 light sources that include 21 laser diodes and 30 LED lights to provide full scalp coverage, while combs and other handheld devices only have nine to 15 laser lights. The output from iGrow is equivalent to most in-office clinical hair lasers, according to the company.

Lester A. Dine Inc, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, introduces the new Dine LED Light Panel, designed to completely eliminate shadows in portrait, torso, and body photography. The high-intensity light panel provides a constant light, making it functional with virtually any digital SLR camera flash and eliminating back flash delay and synchronization issues.
The panel is lightweight and extremely thin, allowing it to be placed anywhere in the office, weighing 8 pounds with lighted dimensions of 33 by 21¼ inches and a thickness of 1½ inches. Unlike slave light boxes that need to be built into walls or occupy office space by extending outward, the flat light panel requires no elaborate installation and requires nothing more than wall space. Running on AC power, the product comes with a wireless remote control that allows users to control light intensity for a brighter or a more subtly lit background. The LED Panel can also be used to display x-rays, pans, and sephs.
