April is Foot Health Month: Xenna Announces Outreach to Diabetics with April Discounts on Diabetic-Friendly Foot Care Brands

Saturday, April 7th, 2012

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) April 03, 2012

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has declared April Foot Health Month. Xenna Corporation (http://www.xenna.com), manufacturer of natural, diabetic-friendly foot care brands NonyX? Nail Gel and CalleX? Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment, has announced several opportunities for consumers to save up to $ 10 with coupons and rebates during the month of April.

In support of the national focus on foot care in April, we want consumers, including diabetics, to know that our diabetic-friendly foot care products are discounted in all stores with a $ 4 rebate for CalleX Ointment and a $ 5 rebate for NonyX Nail Gel. In addition, two drug store chains are making even greater savings available to their customers, says Xenna founder and CEO Carol J. Buck. April is definitely the month to take advantage of major savings!

As retailers shift into summer shoes and attire, consumers begin shopping for the latest sandal styles. Sometimes that first trip to the sandal department results to a closer look at toenails and heels; followed by a second trip to the foot care aisle to address discolored toenails and dry, cracked feet common problems, especially for diabetics.

Xennas diabetic-friendly foot care products are distributed nationwide through chain drugstores, grocery and mass retailers, including such chains as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and others.

Patented NonyX Nail Gel (pronounced “Non-X”) works to improve the appearance of unattractive toenails by softening and exfoliating the hard dark, discolored or yellow granular material under toenails called keratin debris, which can build up over time.

NonyX softens, breaks down and then clears out unattractive keratin debris so it can be gently scraped out from under the nail beginning after about four weeks. Once keratin debris is removed, NonyX Gel keeps nails looking clear and attractive with regular use.

NonyX Nail Gel Savings in April

Rite Aid shoppers can obtain a $ 4 coupon for NonyX Gel after viewing a video at http://www.riteaid.com. To print out the instant redeemable coupon during April (good through the end of May), click on Video Values in the lower right corner of the Rite Aid homepage, then click on NonyX Nail Gel. With the added benefit of a $ 5 rebate from Xenna and instore savings up to another $ 3.00, potential April 2012 savings on NonyX total $ 12.00.

Some of the other major chains are also offering a $ 5 off during the month of April, for a possible savings of $ 10.00. For a list of all NonyX discounts and rebates, visit http://www.xenna.com and to print out a rebate click on http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html.

NonyX can be found in the footcare aisle at Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid (larger stores), Duane Reade, Kinney Drugs, Kerr Drug, HEB, many Medicine Shoppes, Marsh, ShopKo and Harris Teeter.

Proper exfoliation and moisturizing is also important for anyone with dry feet. Dry skin on soles and heels can lead to cracks which are a particular concern for diabetics. Xennas patented CalleX Ointment for Dry, Cracked Feet eliminates the need for scraping away scaly, dry skin a procedure definitely not recommended for diabetics.

For dry feet, Xennas diabetic-friendly CalleX Ointment quickly thins and softens hard, thick skin and removes dry, cracked or scaly buildup with its unique formula, which contains natural enzymes.

Free of potentially irritating acids, colorants, parabens and lanolin, the natural enzymes in CalleX exfoliate ONLY dry, hardened skin, leaving normal skin unaffected, as it moisturizes and rejuvenates dry, cracked heels.

To print out the instant redeemable coupon (good through the end of May), click on Video Values in the lower right corner of the http://www.riteaid.com homepage, then click on CalleX Ointment.

Xenna is also offering a $ 4 mail-in rebate once the product is purchased. Rite Aid stores are also offering up to $ 3.00 in instant discounts, for a total potential savings of $ 11 on CalleX.

Pollogen Receives Health Canada Approval to Market the TriFractional Anti-Aging Solution

Saturday, February 18th, 2012


(PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Pollogen Ltd., a global leader in the medical aesthetic market, announced that has received Health Canada approval for its TriFractional product, a state-of the art fractional skin resurfacing solution based on radiofrequency technology. The TriFractional product received CE mark approva l in September 2012 and has been very well received in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The anti-aging results achieved with the TriFractional are impressive: long-term skin tightening and firming, scar reduction, and skin rejuvenation.

An innovation on other fractional products, the TriFractional applicator uses a special algorithm to introduce radiofrequency energy to the skin which enables deep penetration to the mid-dermis with minimal discomfort, for one of the most effective fractional skin resurfacing treatments. The TriFractional RF energy creates tiny wounds which trigger the bodys natural healing response mechanism, inducing neocollagenesis and creating healthy skin cells. After the treatment, the untreated areas in the skin layers function as healing centers.

Pollogens TriFractional technology has been clinically tested to effectively deliver superior anti-aging results for wrinkle and pigmentation reduction, scar reduction – especially acne scars and skin tightening and firming. Since it is based on radiofrequency technology which is color blind, the treatment works on all skin types.

TriFractional is an add-on module to Pollogens flagship multi-application Maximus MED platform, adding fractional technology to Pollogens leading proprietary technologies TriLipo Radiofrequency (RF) and TriLipo Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA). Using these three technologies, the Maximus platform enables physicians to treat four layers of tissue: epidermis, dermis, muscles and fat, which no other single aesthetic device is able to do. The wide range of skin applications for both the face and body possible with Maximus, include wrinkle reduction, improved appearance of acne scars, firmed and rejuvenated skin, facial contouring, skin tightening, cellulite reduction, long-lasting circumferential reduction, stretch mark improvement and lifting, toning and firming of muscles.

Jay Herman, President of Sigmacon Medical, which exclusively distributes Pollogens products in Canada stated: We are very excited about the Health Canada approval. The TriFractional module enables the physician to offer advanced anti-aging solutions that patients are demanding. The aesthetic industry thrives on constant innovation and Pollogen has been able to continuously deliver new products and technologies.

Pollogens CEO, Mr. Amichai Bar-Nir stated: The TriFractional solution has already proven itself in key markets around the world and we are confident that the Canadian public will love the solution. In a quick lunchtime procedure individuals can achieve fantastic and significant anti-aging results.
