Laser Hair Removal Fort Worth
Would you like to have hair-free, smooth skin year-round? Now you can with Laser Hair Removal. Conventional methods of removing unwanted hair can often leave behind stubbles and nicks, as well as irritate the skin. Not to mention the time it takes to remove unwanted hair before heading out to an event. At Skinique Med Spa located in Fort Worth, TX we are proud to offer our patients Laser Hair Removal with our state-of-the-art laser machine.
How does Laser Hair Removal Work?
One of the most popular cosmetic procedures is laser hair removal. For this reason Skinique Medspa utilizes the most modern and state of the art laser Cutera Cool Glide to help our clients remove hair from any unwanted area upon their body.
The laser hair removal procedure works by targeting hair in the follicles at the source of their growth, which impairs new hair growth as well as damaging already existing hair. The procedure uses rapid pulse lasers and the technician uses a cooling gel to stop the laser from damaging the skin. Below are some areas where we have used the Cuter Cool Glide Laser:
- Face – Unwanted lip, chin and eyebrow hair can all be removed with the treatment.
- Back – Unsightly back hair is commonly requested for removal.
- Legs – An effective way to eliminate the need for shaving on daily or weekly basis.
- Forearm – Thick forearm hair is oftentimes dark and perfect for removal.
- Bikini Line – Keeping a clean bikini line is important for a sexy look at the beach.
- Brazilian – For a more modern look patients oftentimes elect for a full hair removal in the private area.
- Underarm – Save yourself the time of constant shaving and remove unwanted underarm hair.
What to expect before and after Laser Hair Removal in Fort Worth?
Like all skincare treatments, Laser Hair Removal does require some care in order to achieve maximum results. Our specialist will provide you with all the information needed, however there are some general guidelines which are recommended to follow, these include:
- Limiting plucking, waxing and electrolysis for 6 weeks prior to treatment. This is necessary because the laser targets the hair root during treatment, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking
- Avoid sun exposure for 6 weeks before and after treatment: Post-treatment your skin may be more sensitive, for this reason it is recommended for individuals to avoid excess sun exposure, in addition sun exposure could cause the treatment to be less effective
- Post-treatment the treated skin may appear red in color for a day or two
- Always remember to apply sunscreen
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
The best candidates for the procedure have darker pigmented hair than their skin. Individuals with fair skin and dark hair fair the best. Unlike temporary methods like waxing and shaving, hair removal procedures like the Cutera Coolglide Laser is a more permanent solution to dealing with the problem of unwanted body hair.
The reason we use Cutera Coolglide Laser is because unlike the other laser within the marketplace this laser system is excellent for light and dark hair and all skin tones.

- Are you tired of spending time plucking or shaving unwanted hair?

NEW YORK - Hillary Clinton publicly conceded defeat to Donald Trump late Wednesday morning, calling it a painful setback, asking supporters to set aside the rancor that marked the campaign, and to remain optimistic that someday soon, the nation will yet put a woman in the Oval Office.
"We must accept this result and then look to the future.... Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead," she told a small gathering of aides and supporters.
Eight hours earlier, she'd called Trump privately to offer her congratulations after the bitter campaign. She made no mention of his calls to put her in prison, or her oft-cited qualms that he's too volatile to oversee foreign policy and control the nuclear codes.
She and Bill Clinton hugged Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and his wife, Anne Holton. The former president and the man who would have been her vice president flanked Clinton as she spoke. Chelsea Clinton stood to her dad's right.
John Podesta, the campaign chairman, sat in the front row with other senior aides.
"I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans," Clinton said. "This is not the outcome we wanted or that we worked so hard for. And I'm sorry that we did not win this election, for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country."
The nation, she said, is "more divided than we thought." But like President Barack Obama, who spoke in the Rose Garden, she pledged a peaceful and gracious transition to an opponent who'd labeled her "Crooked Hillary."
Mention of Obama drew an ovation in the packed ballroom at the New Yorker, a hotel a few blocks east of the Javits Convention Center, where thousands of supporters had gathered Tuesday night expecting, certainly hoping, to hear an acceptance speech.
This venue was a fraction of the size, and instead of a broad cross section of volunteers, donors and supporters, it was mostly campaign staff on hand at the end.
Huma Abedin was front and center. It was a cache of 650,000 emails on a device owned by her estranged husband, the disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner, that prompted the FBI to reopen an inquiry into Clinton's handling of classified material, 11 days before Election Day.
It was a hastily arranged event.
Podesta had sent home the Javits Center crowd shortly after 2 in the morning New York time -- just before word spread that Clinton had acknowledged defeat. What's left of her campaign put out word of the event, but they neglected to plan for the crush of interest.
Hundreds of journalists lined up for more than two hours outside the hotel near Madison Square Garden to witness the delayed concession speech. Most never got in.
"He's a con man!" one man shouted for news crews set up on Eighth Avenue as taxis and transit buses passed. "Trump will never be our president!" added a woman.
It wasn't until 15 minutes before the announced speech time that police reinforcements and crews arrived with crowd control barriers. Within minutes they had penned in the media horde and, in a separate line that snaked around the opposite corner, well wishers hoping to cheer Clinton on. Locals. Tourists from as far as Australia. A crowd bigger than some Clinton was drawing on the stump in recent weeks.
Hundreds more gawked from the sidewalk across the street, a flash mob dumbfounded by the events of the last 12 hours.
A campaign aide kept telling the journalists they'd all get in. This was untrue. The ballroom is big. There was plenty of room, he said. This was true.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, who'd stumped for Clinton, was seated next to her campaign manager, Robby Mook, in a place of honor up front.
Campaign workers arrived and were granted entry. A handful of journalists, perhaps 20 who've traveled with the candidate extensively, were already inside.
A couple of journalists whose outlet had invested tens of thousands of dollars to crisscross the country with Clinton talked their way in. The stars of Showtime's The Circus, including Austin-based GOP operative and filmmaker Mark McKinnon, were left in the cold.
"I was just — I'm scared," said Hannah Palmer, 25, a mom from South Orange, N.J., carrying a 2 year son on her back and a 1 year old daughter on her front. "Deep down I thought she had it. I wanted to come out and get some kind of peace."
She was choking up.
As for Trump, she said, "from what I've seen I am not hopeful. I guess we'll see."
She didn't get in, either.
TV crews had their cameras set in the middle of Eighth Avenue. Transit buses and taxis whizzed past. A man peddling a pedicab drove by, shouting "Bye bye Hillary! Lock her up!"
At 10:55 in New York, Clinton left her hotel a mile away. Forty-five minutes after the 10:30 speech time, her motorcade arrived, sirens whooping and lights flashing.
{"type":"video","title":"Dallas News Video","author_name":"Dallas News","_id":"twcjhoNzE6sABXcRWOU1e3i4R720eJJc","provider_name":"Ooyala","html":"

Kaine introduced her. He mentioned that she'd won more votes than Trump, though, of course, presidents are picked state by state, with electoral votes.
"I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too," she said. "This is painful, and it will be for a long time. But I want you to remember this. Our campaign was never about one person or even one election. It was about the country that we love and about building a country that's hopeful, inclusive and big hearted."
Clinton was the nation's first woman to win the nomination of a major party for president. But she fell short of the big prize.
"I know that we have not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling. Someday someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now," she said in remarks directed particularly at women and girls.
Kaine, introducing her, said "she has made history" as the first female nominee. And he touted her vote tally, bigger than Trump's. "That is an amazing accomplishment," he said.
He took one swipe at Trump, who had pointedly refused to promise that he would graciously concede if defeated, a jarring deviation from two centuries of American democratic tradition.
"Nobody had to wonder about Hillary Clinton, if she would accept the outcome of an election," he said, touting her love of country and democracy.
"They killed us but they ain't whupped us yet," Kaine said, invoking a William Faulkner phrase. "Because we know that the work remains. We know that the dreams of empowering women and children remains."

Mike (Mig) Dominguez
About Mike
Born and raised in Campbell – CA, Mike (A.K.A Mig) began his illustrious climbing career at the wee age of 13, after tagging along on a last-minute camping trip to Yosemite. Although Mike didn't climb during that first trip, he knew that when he returned home to the Bay area he wanted to learn how. With John Long's "How to Rock Climb" in tow, Mike began developing his skills on local crags and boulders near his home. Since then, Mike has climbed at many of America's hotspots, including Yosemite, Red Rocks, Heuco, and Bishop.
Although he's experienced in traditional and sport climbing, Mike's true passion lies with bouldering. He enjoys its simplicity and how it reconnects him to the excitement he felt all those years ago when he was first learning.
In 1994 an indoor climbing gym sprung up near his house. It was here that Mike learned to set routes and he did so for two years before heading off to college in Lake Tahoe. In Tahoe, Mike welcomed many more climbing opportunities, including the chance to teach multiple climbing courses with the late "great" Dan Osman.
After college, life lead Mike to the east coast, where he had a hand in building a climbing gym. With climbing, design, and route setting skills he came to Rock Spot in 2010, where he currently works as Head Setter and Director of Wall Design. Most recently he has had an integral part in designing some of the walls for the new gyms in Peace Dale, RI and South Boston, MA. Email Mig at M.Dominguez{at}Rockspotclimbing.com

Modern materials used in tooth-colored restorations are nearly indiscernible from normal teeth.
Tooth whitening, or bleaching, remains the most requested cosmetic dental service.
Deep Cleaning is the most common form of treatment for periodontal (gum) disease.
Crowns and veneers can change your smile by covering uneven, chipped or discolored teeth.
Root canal therapy repairs and saves a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kwong's since his opening and he has been the best dentist ever. Other dentists would recommend deep cleaning, whitening services and many others. Dr. Kwong is honest and would only recommend what needs to be done. I was just recently in his office and I've had a cavity for a year now. He's followed it repeatedly but since there has been no new developments, he said it's ok to wait. No need to fill if it's not needed. He is super detailed and meticulous. The office staff is so friendly and have always welcomed me with a smile. Dr. Kwong is a great dentist.
Dr. Kwong deserves more than five stars. I am the patient of Dr. Kwong for over 4 years. He is the most knowledgable, ethical dentist that I've ever seen. It is so difficult to find a right dentist. His diagnosis is accurate with proof. For the past couples years, he shows me the x-ray and pictures on all my dental work. After my dental visit his staff called me to check up and see if everything was alright. I really love how caring and honest this office is and I fully trust Dr. Kwong's professionalism. His office is very clean. His staff is very friendly and helpful. I refer a lot of my family and friends to Dr. Kwong. I strongly recommend Dr Kwong to everyone.
Love my new dentist! I hadn't been for...(gulp)...a few years, so I was nervous about my first-time appointment at Apple Dental. The staff there is super friendly and accommodating! The state-of-the-art technology they use is way cool and helps you better understand any concerns of yours or Dr. Kwong. I have issues with a clicking jaw and TMJ. Dr. Kwong performed a series of tests to check it out, and helped me understand what exactly is going on and how I can alleviate discomfort. A girlfriend of mine has also been avoiding the dentist for some time, but I've already inspired her to make an appointment with him for this weekend (yes, the office is open on SATURDAYS!!) I know she will be in good hands :)
For your first visit, we will ask for pictured ID, relevant medical history, any medications you might be taking, your dental history, and any dental insurance coverage you may have, and your new patient paperwork. Want to get a head start? Download the new patient forms below.

education in the "Teach Safe Relationships Act." In spite of this welcome level
of activity, the fact remains that one cannot rely simply upon "the experts" to
raise our children and teach them what they need to know about relationships between
the genders. Read More

It may not be obvious, but it is important to realize: "Victims of domestic

Yaseen Ege, 7, Murdered for not Learning Quran Fast Enough.
January 07, 2013
Yaseen Ege was a seven year old boy whose mother beat him "like a dog" (her own words) to death for not learning Qur'an fast enough. She was sentenced to 17 years in prison. The judge acknowledged that she was depressed, didn't intend to kill him, and was a victim of domestic violence herself. The judge even acknowledged that she was a devoted and caring Mom.
According to BBC, "She and her husband had enrolled Yaseen in advanced classes at their local mosque as they wanted him to become Hafiz - an Islamic term for someone who memorizes the Koran.
As a child Sara Ege had taken part in competitions showing her knowledge of Islam and had recited from the Koran. The court heard that she had become increasingly frustrated with her son's inability to learn the passages.
She told officers: "I was getting all this bad stuff in my head, like I couldn't concentrate, I was getting angry too much, I would shout at Yaseen all the time.
"I was getting very wild and I hit Yaseen with a stick on his back like a dog."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A New York man was sentenced Thursday to the maximum 25 years-to-life prison for beating his 10-year-old stepson to death with a rolling pin.
A jury in Buffalo last month convicted Ali-Mohamed Mohamud of second-degree murder in a case Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita III called one of the worst he had seen in 24 years as a prosecutor.
Mohamud, 41, shattered Abdifatah Mohamud's skull with nearly 70 blows from the wooden rolling pin after gagging the boy with a sock and duct tape and binding his hands with an electrical cord. A medical examiner testified that the boy known as Abdi suffered four lethal injuries among wounds covering his entire body, including a blow to the head that had "internally decapitated" him, separating the skull from the spinal column.

How City Agencies Failed to Save 6-year-old Khalil

When police arrested the parents of Khalil Wimes and accused them of starving and
torturing their 6-year-old son to death, Mayor Nutter decried the boy's demise as
tragic, but said the city could not have prevented it.
Philadelphia's Department of Human Services had no official oversight - no "open

"Next question."
In fact, Khalil had spent the final months of his life beaten, bone thin, desperately
ill, and out of school - and DHS had failed to see what was right in front of it.
An Inquirer review of Khalil's death - including interviews with his siblings, foster
parents, and other family members, and a review of police reports, court documents,

Bollywood Actress Helps Domestic Violence Victims

Published: September 8, 2010
PLANTATION, Fla. Years after Somy Ali left her glamorous life as a Bollywood actress,
she heard a knock on her door from a Bangladeshi neighbor, asking for help.
The woman said she'd been sexually and physically abused for a decade by her husband,
his father and his brother. Ali paid for the woman's apartment and divorce.
"I said 'There have to be more women like this,'" Ali said.
So she founded a not-for-profit organization called No More Tears Inc. in 2006.
So far it has helped 48 women. Ali funds her organization in part by giving 10 percent
of the revenue from her clothing company, So-Me Designs.
"These people have become part of my family," she said. "There is nothing more gratifying
than rescuing a woman."
Ali's own life reads like a Bollywood script. She grew up in an opulent 26-room
mansion in Karachi, the daughter of a Pakistani movie producer father and an Iraqi
mother. When Ali was 9, she moved to Florida with her mother and brother.
At 15, she decided that she wanted to marry actor Salman Khan, whom she calls "the

Despite Facing Poor Odds And Rampant Prejudices, A Foundation Is Attempting
To Break Through Barriers To Help Women Who Have Been Abused.
The Texas Muslim Women's Foundation, which is based in Plano and was founded in
2005, opened a Resale Sophisticate, a thrift and consignment store, in September
2009 in an attempt to further serve victims of domestic violence.
Hind Jarrah, one of the founders of the organization and the first president of
TMWF, said the store's main trouble is attracting customers.
"People need to be aware that we are here," she said. "That is the most important
thing. I don't think people know what we are about."
Jarrah said because of the poor economy, it was impossible for the organization
to expect donations to support its needs and the needs of those who benefit from
the organization. Read More
Muslim Community Info Session on Domestic Violence, Elder Abuse and Hate Crimes
By Sana Siddiqui,
June 2010
Source: Muslim Youth Canada
Domestic Violence is a complex, tragic and underreported crime across all cultures
and societies and unfortunately, the Muslim community is no exception. Recent studies
have shown that Muslim women suffer from emotional, physical and financial abuse
from their husbands and that physical violence occurs in at least 10% of Muslim
families in America (Alkhateeb, 1999; Alkhateeb, 2010; Rianon and Sheldon, 2003).
On June 26th 2010 the Vancouver Police, Family Services of Greater Vancouver and
the Muslim community came together to discuss the programs and services available
for victims of domestic violence and their families, elder abuse and hate crime.
Around 35 Muslim community members attended this information session at Collingwood
Neighbourhood House in Vancouver. Also present were support workers from MOSIAC
and Vancouver and Lower Mainland Multicultural Family Services.

"I am ready to face any possible opposition to the Bill from conservative elements,"

Muslim Women's
Shelter Provides Refuge, Support
Published: January 1, 2010
As families come together over the holidays, the victims of domestic abuse are often
sequestered in shelters — a situation that's especially difficult for Muslim
women, because few facilities meet their cultural and religious needs.
At one home for Muslim women in
Baltimore, women from different backgrounds recently gathered in the kitchen to
prepare dinner together. Oil splattered on the stove, and Asma Hanif, the woman
who runs the center, joked that the night's dinner would be the end of her.
"In Iraq they don't have high cholesterol?"
she asks a Kurdish woman standing beside her. "This is going to kill us."

According to CNN, "When Niaz
launched her organization in 2004, it was the first resource of its kind in New
York City. Today, her one-woman campaign has expanded into a multifaceted endeavor
that is raising awareness about family violence and providing direct services to
women in need.
Crisis intervention services are
a critical element of Niaz's efforts. Through weekly counseling sessions, she and
her team provide emotional support to the women while helping them with practical
issues, such as finding homeless shelters, matrimonial lawyers, filing police reports
or assisting with immigration issues.
Niaz has helped more than 200 Muslim
women. While most of Turning Point's clients are immigrants, the group helps women
from every background."

Altamash Iftikhar is a 25-year-old Muslim
American activist who has taken initiative to end domestic violence. This ambitious
young man has launched a new non-profit organization, i-appreciate.org, selling
T-shirts online against domestic violence.
Kristen Minogue, a reporter for News 21, writes, "A shirt that reads 'I
will appreciate your mind, body and soul' might seem more appropriate for
a yoga class than a weightlifting session. But Altamash Iftikhar wears his to the
gym all the time."
In an in-depth interview by Minogue, "Iftikhar said he welcomes the opportunity
to get more people involved, and the part-fashion, part-social action statement
makes a good conversation starter."

Education leads to prevention
Domestic violence crosses all ethnic, social, and economic borders. Dr. Waheeda
Samady, a medical resident at UC San Diego, has embarked on a project to fight the
on-set of family violence and explore ways to better educate the public on its prevention,
focusing on Muslim communities in San Diego. By working with local organizations,
Dr. Samady marks the importance of awareness and proactive efforts to maintain respect
within families. As a Muslim herself, Dr. Samady also acknowledges the costs of
stereotyping minority groups, and the resulting barriers that can make seeking help
all the more difficult. Read
Muslim Men
Against Domestic Abuse
Men Against Domestic Abuse was launched in February, 2009, by Mohammad Khalil, an
associate professor of religious studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
According to the organization's
mission statement: Muslim Men Against Domestic Abuse (MMADA) is an organization
dedicated to domestic tranquility. By joining our group, you make a commitment never
to engage in, support, or remain silent about the physical, psychological, and emotional
abuse of Muslim and non-Muslim women and children.
The organization has an online pledge
on its site. To this date 113 people have already signed on it. According to Kristen
Minogue, a reporter for News 21, "The organization has raised a few eyebrows
for singling out men, even from activists who, overall, support the idea. Khalil
has said he does not want to establish men as "arbiters of morality,"
but he does want to break the stereotype that domestic violence is simply a women's

Jaffer, a young Muslim activist has taken the domestic violence in the Muslim community

gender violence.
Kristen Minogue, a reporter of News 21, introduces Jaffer in these words, "Abbas
Jaffer isn't a single-issue activist. Since he entered college, the 23-year-old
University of Denver graduate has delved into gang violence and international relations,
and even worked for a brief stint in India with Tibetan refugees. But the problem
of domestic violence disturbed him early on.
"… Now he works as an associate editor for Altmuslimah.com, an
online publication launched in March that explores gender in Islam. His involvement
gave him the chance to write about domestic violence in the Muslim community."

Rose McGowan Says She's "Shocked" And Never Thought She'd See Harvey Weinstein In Handcuffs
"We got you," McGowan said when asked what she'd say to Weinstein today.
After Harvey Weinstein was charged Friday morning with rape, a criminal sex act, sex abuse, and sexual misconduct involving two separate women, Rose McGowan told Good Morning America she was "shocked" and that she never thought she'd see Weinstein in handcuffs.
Weinstein was led out of an NYPD precinct handcuffed on Friday on his way to court.
"I have to admit I didn't think I would see the day that he would have handcuffs on him," McGowan said. "I have a visceral need for him to have handcuffs on."
Even though McGowan said Weinstein's face "has terrorized me for so long," she also said she would appear in court for his trial to show support for his other accusers.
The former actor also appeared on Megyn Kelly Today and spoke about Weinstein's arrest, saying, "It's surreal...to see him in cuffs on the way out. Whether he smiled or not, that's a very good feeling."
"He did not [think this day would come]. The system was created to protect men like him. The system was created by men like him and his accomplices," McGowan said.
When asked what she would say to Weinstein today after his arrest, McGowan responded, "We got you."

BURTON, Mich. (WWJ/AP) – A 16-year-old boy arrested in connection with a suspicious barn fire near Flint that killed 10 horses has been released.
The Flint Journal reports that the Genesee County prosecutor's office dismissed a petition by police in Burton seeking animal cruelty and arson charges. It was reported that the boy might be charged as an adult in the case — but he was released Tuesday, pending further investigation.
The fire started the morning of Feb. 20 at the Midnite Sun Training Center, about 50 miles northwest of Detroit. The boy was taken into custody the next day.
Authorities have said the building's electrical power had been cut, and the owner said no heaters were in use. Three horses outside the barn survived.
Meanwhile, a vigil is planned in memory of the horses, scheduled to begin 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Burton Fire No. 2, 1320 S. Belsay Road.
Fire officials said there have been other fires at the center within the last month.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. , July 11, 2018 — Jimmy LeFever, Research Director at PayStream Advisors, provides observations on emerging technologies dominating conversations in the Procure-to-Pay space, along with guidance on maximizing the potential of our changing workforce, during his exclusive interview on JAGGAER"s InsideSpend webinar series. PayStream Advisors is a research and advisory firm focused on business process automation in sourcing, supply chain management, procurement, accounts payable, payments, and expense management.
"The biggest trends are with disrupting technologies: Blockchain, IoT, real-time payments, Zelle and tokenization," LeFever observes. Several of these technologies are being rapidly deployed within the consumer space, and will become increasingly important within the procurement industry over the next several years, as they cross the chasm into the business space.
For example, within the consumer space, real time payments are being rolled out by banks, as consumers are pushing past the multi-day paper check or ACH lag times. This will have a profound impact on AP departments, as they may be expected to manage payments on a 24/7 basis. This emerging ePayment strategy will enable revenue generation within the AP department by leveraging lower costs, rebates and discounts, through immediate payments.
LeFever also addresses the current and future implications for many of the buzzworthy technologies around the P2P space: BlockChain, IoT, Machine Learning, Zelle and Tokenization. He argues that some of these technologies have been around for years, in different guises, while others may take up to five years to move from the consumer into the business space.
Finally, LeFever comments on the dynamic workforce within the procurement space, being increasingly influenced by an influx of millennials who now join the entrenched ranks of Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers. He feels that the Millennial generation, having grown up with technology, is attuned to the look and feel of solutions, adding that, "technologies like JAGGAER have very a intuitive interface." It's this type of interface that customers will come to expect from their software solutions.
LeFever defines the technologies he discusses and puts them into perspective, along with the workforce that will be developing and using them in this exclusive JAGGAER webinar.
The compete webinar can be found here.

Silica Exposure Testing for OSHA Compliance
Making Your Workplace a Safe Place to Breathe
Much like the asbestos so common to certain industries many years ago, a mineral byproduct called crystalline silica has become a significant risk to workplace safety all over the world with more cases of disease and death reported each year. At ProHealth, we know how critical employee health is to running a successful business.
The danger lies in the tiny particles, referred to as "respirable particles" that can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause silicosis. Silicosis is an incurable lung disease that can often be fatal. In addition, crystalline silica exposure places workers at serious risk for developing respiratory diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD and kidney disease. According to research, approximately 2.3 million people in the U.S. are exposed to silica in the workplace.
Our team members can offer you exactly what you need. We can provide you with an employment physical examination that's in-depth, all-encompassing and reliable. Employers frequently ask potential workers to get medical exams. When you need an employment physical exam, you can always depend on ProHealth. Our qualified, experienced and skilled providers and staff members can offer you access to physical examinations that can give you confidence and security. Our physical exams cover all of the key bases, too. They cover physical ability assessments, alcohol and drug tests and beyond.
The Silica Exposure Medical Surveillance Exam Includes:
- Physical exam
- Spirometry testing
- Respirator fit testing
- Medical clearance for respirators
- TB skin test
- Chest X-ray (1-view)
Additional tests may be required, including a renal blood test
