HAIR REMOVAL

WITH DIODE LASER

Approximately 70 % of women under the age of 35 remove their hair, in particular from underarms, legs and the genital area. This is a

lasting trend that even has older women and men jumping on board too. Removing hair with epilation, waxing, or shaving is no longer

the exception but rather the norm. The University of Leipzig conducted a statistical survey in 2008 on students with an average age

of 23 years. According to this survey, 93 % of women shave their legs, 97 % their underarms and 87 % their genital area. For men,

underarms rank first with 71 % of men removing hair from there, followed by 67 % of men removing hair from the genital area. And

36 % of men remove hair from the upper body. It’s therefore no wonder that for men and women alike, laser hair removal is among

the top five most popular non-surgical beauty procedures in the USA. In 2009, USD 362 million was spent on laser hair removal in

America, and it's a multibillion dollar business worldwide.

Light therapy is the most effective method to permanently reduce hair growth. Various scientific studies have shown that a wave-

length of 810 nm is best suited for this purpose. It ensures optimal absorption in the melanin target area while simultaneously pro-

tecting the surrounding tissue. The MeDioStar's unique mix of wavelengths also targets vessels and thereby improves the results.

WITH DIODE LASER

Disturbing vessels such as small blood thrushes, port-vein stains, spider naevi, couperose, cold sores, haemangioma or lymphangioma

frequently affect both men and women. While small blood thrushes already occur in three to six percent of all newborns, changes to

blood vessels only develop during the course of a lifetime. Spider veins primarily affect women. Risk factors include genetic predis-

position, UV radiation, age, hormone fluctuations, smoking, consumption of alcohol or the topical application of corticosteroids. Al-

though finely widened blood vessels generally do not in any way represent signs of illness, for those affected they often represent an

aesthetic nuisance - particularly when they are expressed on visible parts of the body, such as on the face, the neck or the cleavage.

Operations and cryotherapy are listed among conservative treatment options. However, they can be very painful, particularly for

extensive occurrences. Spider veins often go hand in hand with sclerotherapy or surface stripping. However, all of these methods

are either not permanent or constitute invasive treatment. Laser therapy with a high-performance diode laser is highly efficient,

protective, precise, non-invasive and is not connected to any downtime for the patient. The application only lasts a few minutes

and the initial results can be observed immediately. The MeDioStar® provides an ergonomic handpiece, especially designed for the

treatment, with a wavelength of 940 nm and treatment modes.
