Week 1 of treatment

Latisse products have just been rolled out in the UK after a massive growth in popularity in the USA. Latisse is the first and at present, the only FDA approved prescription treatment for inadequate lashes and is available on a prescription only basis.

The product works through its active ingredient; bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, which is believed to affect the anagen phase of the eyelash hair circle, increasing the length and number of hairs in two different growth phases.

The treatment is used by applying topically to the base of the upper eyelashes once a day, or as instructed by a doctor. Gradually, the results will begin to become prominent, and within around 4 weeks you should begin to see results, with full growth achieved in around 16 weeks, meaning you’ll soon be able to throw away those falsies, and have beautiful, long lashes all of your own.

When using Latisse you should ensure that you always keep your doctor up to date on your progress, and contact them straight away should you encounter any problems as it is believed that biamatropost may, in some cases, cause increased brown pigmentation in the coloured part of the eye which could be permanent. Reversible eyelid skin darkening may also occur in some cases.  You should also ensure that you never apply Lattise to your lower eyelid.

With many methods of sun protection becoming available, from simple sun cream right through to UV filtering fabrics there is no excuse to become burnt. Alternatively, for a more high tech approach, it makes sense to provide adequate shade around the home during the hot summer months by installing high quality sun awnings or sun canopies.

For many years the standard method of providing shade to a sunny area of the home has been to simply use a large parasol. Whilst these are great for occasional use, they do not offer the same levels of coverage and flexibility to the user.

As a result of this, many people are now turning to more modern solutions to provide shade.

Sun awnings are the ideal and popular choice because they can be custom made to the individual requirements of the homeowner. Patio awnings can be made in many sizes that will suit anything from a small bright window right through to a large terraced area.

Very simple in the design, the awning fabric rolls out to be supported on retractable metal arms that hold the fabric tight. As the metal arms take the weight of the fabric, this means that large areas of shade can be achieved without the requirement of polls or post to support it. This makes the shaded area beneath much more user friendly. Compare this to a traditional parasol, where the poll needs to be fixed into a base to prevent it from tipping over and it is obvious why patio awnings are fast becoming the latest much have home addition.

By installing a sun awning, you will not only be creating an area that will provide shade, but you will also create additional and more useable entertaining space for those alfresco dining experiences with your friends and family.

Also, due to the tightly woven fabric used in the construction of the awnings, you will also be able to remain outdoors during light showers. So long as the awning is set at an angle, the rain will simply run off the front keeping anyone beneath dry.

With sun awnings becoming more affordable in recent years, it makes sense to install a product that will protect you, and your family whilst at the same time adding value to your property.

Available in either manual operation for smaller awning or where occasional use is only required or for more convenience or where regular use is required electric sun awnings are readily available.

With add on features available such as patio heaters, lighting or even wind and rain sensors, the user can have total control over the awning and environment in which they are in.
