Clinical studies have demonstrated the ability of a neutraceutical supplement
containing a proprietary blend of shark and mollusk powder derived fromsustainable marine sources, to provide essential nutrients to aid in hair
growth. The effectiveness of this product for the treatment of hair loss andthinning hair was the subject of a recent panel discussion by experts indermatology and plastic surgery involving Dr. Heidi Waldorf, Dr. Vivian Bucay,
Dr. Wendy Roberts and Dr. Steven Dayan.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES• Understand the clinical evidence available surrounding neutraceuticals andtheir application for the treatment of thinning hair and hair growth.
• Identify other treatment options available and use of a multi-therapy approach.
• Discover the latest clinical evidence and the 25 year history of Viviscal dietary
supplements and their application in modern medicine.
• Get a first look at the presentation of cell proliferation studies, bioavailability
profile and glycosaminoglycan profile associated with the Aminomar©
marine protein complex and its corresponding role and functionality in theapplication of hair growth.

About Miami

MIAMI
There’s no place on Earth like Miami.

Made legendary during the whimsical Art Deco era, and again when Crockett and Tubbsof the TV show “Miami Vice” thrilled us as they raced across the city, Miami has evolved
into the world’s premier playground — so much more than it ever was before.
Officially called Greater Miami and the Beaches, Miami offers a fascinating blend of
cutting edge urban chic and Old World Florida mixed with Cuban culture.

Miami is world renowned forits beautiful sand beaches,
hot clubs and luxe lounges.
Cosmopolitan crowds andbeautiful surroundings makeMiami the perfect place to party
after a long day. Home to masterchefs, five-star restaurants
and the freshest ingredients,
Miami has become a mecca forfoodies. Miami’s restaurants
feature a blend of culture andculinary technique that has
evolved into what is now known
as New World Cuisine — aproduct of Caribbean, Latin andEuropean cuisines unique to thedestination.

Although the Cuban influenceruns strong, Miami has anunparalleled mix of ethnic
and cultural groups spreadthroughout the sprawling city
(more than 100 languages
spoken). Miami offers a live andlet live philosophy — an essential
attitude in a large city with somany different points of view.
Glorious weather has always
been the main attraction, withyearly temperatures in Miami
averaging 76°F. Sun-kissed daysfeature bluer than blue skies,
dotted with surreal cotton candy
clouds. Gentle breezes keep
things cool throughout the day,while sultry temperatures heatup clear “Moon over Miami”
evenings.
In recent years, Miami has
spawned its own artistic
renaissance, hosting several
prestigious film, music and art
festivals while still offering local
gallery walks down historicstreets. In addition, Downtown
Miami has been going throughmajor development over the
past several years. The latest
addition is the currently underconstruction Museum Park, astate-of-the-art, environmentallyfriendly bayfront facility. The
stunning Pérez Art Museum
Miami is now open, and the Frost
Museum of Science will soon be
open in early 2016.

Miami is home to two nationalparks and countless otherattractions, so visitors haveunlimited options — snorkeling,swimming with dolphins, playing
with monkeys, hand-feeding
alligators and conversing withparrots, to name a few.

Enjoy a day at sea. Sail acrossBiscayne Bay or snorkel at
one of the recreational diving
spots and let the calm watersof the Atlantic Ocean relax andinspire you. Sightseeing tours,
beach excursions and sunset
cruises provide just the rightopportunity for visitors to diveright in.
