Treatment Technology
Radio Frequency waves, are electromagnetic waves at wavelengths of between 1Km and 1cm. This technology uses Radio Frequency waves for medical aesthetic treatments such as skin rejuvenation, body shaping and fat reduction.
Tissues in the human body conduct electricity (as they contain a high percentage of water). Although all human tissues generate electrical resistance of some level, tissues at problematic areas under the skin will be more resistant to the electromagnetic energy flowing through them. When encountering such heightened resistance, the RF* electromagnetic flow will cause the tissues responsible for the resistance it encounters to heat up.
An electrical neuromuscular stimulator is a device used to send moderate electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply less than 1 microampere of electrical currents to nerves using electrodes placed on the skin. It is the closest known electrical current that can be delivered on a near identical magnitude, as the electrical current the human body naturally produces on its own. One microampere (uA) is 1 millionth of an ampere and the uses of MENS are distinct from those of “TENS” which runs at one milliamp(mA) or one thousandth of an amp. The treatment is physiologic and safe.
This treatment is 10-100 times less powerful than TENS, associated with no muscle contraction or pain during cosmetic applications. The use for aesthetic treatment will be in termed Facial Sculpting or facial Toning.
CoolSculpting is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat reduction procedure and has just arrived at Canada MedLaser. The revolutionary treatment uses controlled cooling to get rid of unwanted, stubborn fat that can’t seem to go away with regular diet and exercise. The best part? One doesn’t have to go under the knife to receive results similar to that of liposuction; the procedure works by freezing away fat in a minimally invasive way.
CoolSculpting was developed by two Harvard doctors who noticed that some children got dimples when eating popsicles, while others did not. They discovered that the same type of effect could also be applied to the rest of the body, and the connection was made between cold and the loss of fat cells. Through their research, they discovered that nerves, skin, muscle and other body tissues were far less sensitive to cold temperatures than body fat. Due to this discovery, they were able to determine the exact ideal temperature to maximize fat reduction without harming other areas of the body.
The Gold Standard for Laser treatments for all skin types. Using dual laser wavelengths, the GentelMax Pro houses the powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser, with an equally powerful 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for high performance treatments.
The 755 nm Alexandrite can treat Hair Removal, Vascular lesions, Pigmented lesions, Spider and thread veins capillaries, vascular malformations freckled, skin rejuvenation and more.
The 1064 nm YAG laser (1064 nm) energy is selectively absorbed by the deeper layers of skin, to improve skin tone, treat rosacea, tighten skin, stimulate collagen and more.The Nd Yag (long pulse laser) may be used safely on all Fitzpatrick skin types skin types, including tanned skin.
