Permanent removal of unwanted hair growth (IPL)
Do you also want to stop worrying about that stubble, or are you constantly bothered by ingrown hairs in your armpits, along your bikini line or on your legs? The MedCos IPL method makes shaving, waxing, plucking and hair removal creams a thing of the past! How? IPL uses light to generate heat in follicles and hair stem-cells. The heat destroys the follicles and the hair stem cells, thus permanently stopping new hair generation.
This is a treatment for unwanted hair growth that can now be applied to any area of your body, resulting in 80 to 90% hair reduction. Hair growth cycles require on average 8 treatments to achieve a satisfactory end result, with periods of 6 to 12 weeks between sessions. To maintain optimum treatment results, we recommend an annual maintenance session.
Average Treatment Time (per session):
bikini line: 5-10 minutes
armpits: 5-10 minutes
full back: 20-30 minutes
Skin Rejuvenation
The MedCos IPL method helps counteract skin aging. The light emitted by the MedCos IPL is absorbed by the skin and converted to heat. This stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells and the production of new collagen, giving the skin a refreshed and younger look and noticeably improving skin texture. For an optimum result, combine this treatment with the MedCos MicroSkinPolish.
With 1 to 2 week periods between sessions, improvement is generally clearly noticeable after a few sessions. Session duration varies from 10 to 15 minutes. An average of 8 sessions are required to achieve a satisfactory result. We recommend a maintenance session every 2 months to best retain the result achieved.
Average Treatment Time (per session):
décolleté: 10-15 minutes
face 10-15 minutes
Couperose and Spider naevi
The MedCos IPL method can be used to treat many forms of couperose and spider naevi. The unattractive tiny blood vessels in the face and on the legs are ‘removed’ through application of the high-energy light emitted by the MedCos IPL. The light is absorbed by the red blood cells and then conducted to the vessel walls. Once there, the light energy is converted into heat energy and the vessels are selectively hit with heat. This causes the unattractive red blood vessels to disappear / fade.
The vessels thus treated will generally first grow darker, so that the couperose appears to get worse. This is a good sign, however, meaning that the vessels have been effectively hit and that the couperose or spider naevi will disappear. An average of 3 to 5 sessions are required for a satisfactory result. There are periods of 2 to 4 weeks between successive sessions.
Average Treatment Time (per session):
nose: 2-5 minutes
cheeks: 5-10 minutes
Acne
The MedCos IPL method enables highly effective and safe treatment of many forms of acne. The high-energy light is absorbed by the skin and converted into heat. This heat counteracts the bacteria P. Acnes. This bacteria is the main cause of acne. The treatment will smooth the skin, noticeably reducing the acne and the red glow.
A session takes about 10-15 minutes and there are periods of about 2 weeks between successive sessions. Depending on the severity of the acne, it will first be determined the viability of this treatment, the number sessions required and the most optimum frequency. This may prove to be a frequency higher than once every 2 weeks. Generally, a program of 8 sessions will be required to achieve the desired result.
Average Treatment Time (per session):
face: 10-15 minutes
shoulders/back: 10-15 minutes
Please Note: the treatment will smooth the skin and its appearance will noticeably improve; however, acne has interior or hormonal causes, so it will keep appearing.
