I purchased Groupon deals that offered me the opportunity to try the Anne Penman Heat Wrap Therapy located on in the North Hills as well as another company that provided the same service at multiple locations throughout the area. I had purchased five sessions for both businesses, but only continued with Maria’s location in the North Hills. By doing so, I had the opportunity to compare the client care and attention between the two businesses; Maria is theBESTby far! She made sure to tell me what to wear prior to my first appointment; the other business did not. She is very conscientious and makes sure the wraps are in the proper locations on your body and as tight as she can get them to ensure a successful session. If you are interested in trying the Formostar heat treatments, I highly recommend Maria Lee/Anne Penman location in the North Hills. She’s the best in the Greater Pittsburgh area, so don’t waste your money on her competition ~ you’ll be highly disappointed if you do!

Everyone knows smoking is bad, but not everyone knows how to quit. Half of all long-term smokers will die from tobacco, yet smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death. It is a prime factor in heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease, as well as causing cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, mouth and bladder, and a contributor to cancer of the cervix, pancreas and kidneys. A new approach for quitting tobacco now exists in laser therapy – a well-established technique with a wide range of medical applications. Anne Penman Laser Therapy in Greentree’s Foster Plaza offers specialized treatment for smoking cessation. “I had tried to quit smoking for many years, trying everything from going ‘cold turkey’ to nicotine patches and gum to hypnosis. Nothing worked for me until I tried laser therapy,” said Kevin Byrne, co-owner of Anne Penman’s Pittsburgh location along with his wife, Maria. The Anne Penman method utilizes a cold, soft laser beam which is applied to specific energy points in the hands, ears, nose and wrists that are associated with nicotine craving.It helps people quit smoking cigarettes and cigars, as well as stopping smokeless tobacco product use. The laser therapy works by increasing endorphins in the body, relieving the most common signs of physical withdrawal, including circulatory problems, headaches and stress levels. Clients enter a phase of deep relaxation and circulation is activated. This process generates natural endorphins that bind to nicotine receptors, with the saturation of these receptors exponentially reducing the withdrawal symptoms to a minimum level. Both Mr. Byrne and his wife are certified laser technicians, having gone through Anne Penman’s intensive training program. “Our laser treatment program includes three sessions,” Mr. Byrne said. “We find the majority of our clients are smoke-free from the initial session.” ...read more
