Medacare Skin Clinic

Welcome to Online Booking.

This clinic has been established to specialise in the treatment and management of both cosmetic and complex skin conditions including skin aging, skin disease and skin damage, as well as to improve peoples health as a whole.

In addition to professional skincare, aesthetic procedures and phototherapy, Medacare specialises in functional medicine and nutritional dermatology which involves custom formulated topicals, dietary interventions and prescription supplementation. This is to reduce the use of pharmaceuticals for skin problems, as well as improve treatment safety and longterm success.

Functional medicine is different to conventional medicine, it recognises disease and aging is a continuum, not a simple point in time in a persons history of health. It also recognises an individual’s biological uniqueness and takes into account their personal health history, disease progression and treatment preferences. It focuses on identifying and treating the aetiology of a disease or disorder (the cause, set of causes, or manner of causation), rather than just treating the pathogenesis with a drug, treating only the processes that maintain it. This could be age, systemic health conditions, maladapted stress responses, injury, allergy or chemical exposure, infection, deficiency or impairments of normal biological skin mechanisms.

By identifying and addressing all cause, triggers and symptoms synergistically with patient focused care and more suitable physiological compounds, we can treat both the appearance and underlying cause of your condition, and you as a whole, to achieve the greatest clinical results.

This is also a safer and more successful option for longterm wellness, and essentially vital for those non-responsive to conventional medicine or standard care.

TREATMENT SUPERVISION

The follow-up review is an important part of treatment and a chance to discuss the outcome of the initial prescription, procedures and dietary adjustments, as well as make any necessary changes to ensure you continue to receive the most relevant treatment as the condition improves or if symptoms change.

With chronic skin conditions, we need follow-ups to monitor the frequency, duration and intensity of flares, this helps to recognise progress, stay anchored in the process and appreciate the trajectory.

Getting out of the flare isn't the only problem, we need to have identified during this process, factors in the patients biology that can help them move away from the condition, build biological robustness so it dosn't keep recurring.

How many follow-up visits are needed depends on how long the condition has been present, the severity of the condition and how well the prescription is adhered to.

BRIEF SKIN EXAMINATION

This appointment can be booked for more basic or general needs if a more comprehensive initial consultation process and written treatment plan is not needed. This is perfect if you just want a better skin routine or want to make sure you book the right professional treatments for your skins needs.

This consultation still includes Observ skin imaging for diagnostic imaging of both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, to assess and establish correct treatment and identify factors that can also predispose you to premature aging or a skin disease later in life. It is a fundamental measure for treatment progress, required adjustments and skin improvement.

DERMALUX LED PHOTOTHERAPY Blue/Red/Near Infrared (Activate your skins natural rejuvenation & repair processes)

Dermalux Phototherapy Single Session

30 mins · $75

More info
THE TRI-WAVE ADVANTAGE

I choose the Dermalux Tri-Wave simply because I wanted a quality device to deliver the best quality treatment to my clients/patients. My reputation is built on this.

The Tri-Wave takes LED treatments to the next level of performance and is award winning for this. Delivering more power per second than other LED clinical and portable devices, meaning shorter treatment times, fewer treatment sessions, and faster more superior visible and lasting results.

The Dermalux can be selected as a stand alone treatment, as a course to resolve to resolve a range of skin problems, combined with other procedures to enhance and accelerate treatment results or performed ongoing to prevent or manage a range of skin concerns including skin aging, skin disease and skin damage.

Unlike more invasive procedures, LED Phototherapy does not use heat, chemicals or induce trauma to promote biological change in the skin, therefore provides one of the safest modalities to treat all skin types and conditions without downtime.

After just one treatment the skin instantly responds, activating the skins natural rejuvenation and repair processes, accelerating cell renewal and collagen banking to promote healthy looking revitalised skin. On a medical level it begins augmenting tissue repair and promoting regeneration of different tissues and nerves as well as prevention of tissue damage. It targets cells to facilitate immune modulation and skin correction. Very quickly over a matter of days to weeks with recurring sessions the effects accumulate where skin conditions begin to resolve and the skin becomes better quality, more youthful and better looking.

PHOTOCHEMICAL, THERMAL, VISABLE LIGHT

Red 633nm and Blue 415nm visible light effectives a complex series of interactions and is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase which is responsible for synthesizing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of the cell and entire organism. It then induces a photo chemical cascade including displacing nitric oxide and restoring oxygen. The end result of which increased circulation, ATP and some powerful cell to cell signaling compounds (calcium ions and protons) prods the sodium-potassium pump into action for transport through the cell membrane, intra and extracellular exchange occur between the cell and the extracellular matrix for photobiomodulation and repair of the skins condition.

Red 633nm reaches and effects basal and superficial epidermal keratinocyte cells, market cells and under certain circumstances, the dendritic cells namingly melanocytes and langerhans cells. Blue 415nm has an anti-microbial effect and is clinically proven to inactivate pathogenic bacteria, fungi and yeast to manage and treat many types of infection from acne to staph and MRSA.

PHOTOPHYSICAL, NON-THERMAL, NON-VISABLE LIGHT

Incoming energy from Near Infrared 830nm non-visible light is fully absorbed in the cellular membrane, where by a photophysical response occurs involving rotational and vibrational exchanges, the absorbed energy alters the electron status of the molecules making up the membrane. The cellular transport mechanisms are instantly activated, the mitochondria are prodded into action to produce more ATP to fuel the sudden cellular activity. This induces the same cascade as with the visible light but is an indirect photophysical response rather than a direct photochemical one.

Near Infrared 830nm enters the extracellular matrix deeper in the skin and beyond where many major cells of interest are such as fibroblasts, mast cells, neutrophils and macrophages aside from structural cells such as endothelial cells where the mitochondria of these cells facilitate correction through proliferation, synthesis, growth factors, micro-stimulation and energy. This is where many immunological conditions and deeper cutaneous aging must be targeted for photobiomodulation and repair of the skins condition.

SUBCUTANIOUS IMMUNOTHERAPY (SCIT)

This phototherapy also influences antibody class switching, suppressing and reducing IgE and IgG antibodies which are associated with the development of allergies, and increases IgM and IgA antibodies required to protect you from allergies, viruses and infection improving your systemic innate and adaptive immunity. Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) for perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis requires 2 treatments per week for 6 to 8 weeks to alleviate symptoms with profound long lasting effects and continuous improvements reducing IgE levels most efficiently for the first 3 months and with no further treatment the condition is still improved for up to a year but continuing regular treatment monthly or seasonally will achieve the best results in symptom alleviation long term to reduce dependency of anti-histamines and steroids.

TARGETED THERMOLYSIS (PHOTO OR ELECTRO IF MORE SUITABLE)

If you have acne or rosacea you will qualify for this treatment otherwise known as combined selective thermolysis. This is the most effective treatment to treat and manage chronic medical skin conditions such as acne and rosacea.

Phototherapy & thermolysis via a combination of treatment methods is combined with topical therapies selected individual to each case.

When treating acne for example; selective sebaceous gland electro-thermolysis combined with photo-thermolysis is one of the most effective treatments. During each session, a 1.5-mm long needle with 0.45-mm of base insulation was inserted into pores of acne lesions. Upon insertion, a high-frequency electrical current was applied for 0.25-0.50 seconds, for a total output of 40 W. Clinical success is between 83 and 98% clearance of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions.

Selective photo-coagulation is induced to remove viscosities and reduce vascularisation of the sebaceous gland, reducing the production of sebum and the ability of any hormonal influence to cause acne in the skin.

CUSTOMISED TREATMENT

There are many ways to promote daily, healthier looking, better functioning skin and to achieve more visible and longer lasting results. To orchestrate this and create different epidermal or dermal changes with-in the skin there are various treatment methods you may need to consider. These include: Internal or topical, home care or clinical, surgical or natural, injectable or needle-free, thermal or non-thermal, physical or chemical, ablative or non-invasive, short or long term, level of intensity, pain, social downtime and of course if the treatment is suitable or non-suitable. This is why a consultation is your skins best investment, not to try something new, but to do something right, and learn how to get your skin in the best shape its ever been.

At Medacare we can also take customising treatment one step further to ensure the individual needs of each person we work with are personal and personalized, recognising what the skin needs and what it doesn't, to transform the health and appearance of your skin, unifying shades and colours, texture and tone, structure and function because changing skin, changes lives.

All you need to do is choose an area and we can rally treatments together that compliment each other for multiple conditions or disorders to prevent, manage or correct your skin now and improve the way you look for years to come. View less

Physician-grade IPL treatment is performed to bring damaged or aging skin back to life by unifying shades and colours, texture and tone for a noticeably restored, clearer complexion and a more visible, longer lasting youthful appearance.

The ECM constitutes over 70% of the skin and is the central hub for repair and regeneration of the skin. As such, the ECM is the area where changes related to skin damage are most evident. Degradation of the ECM and accumulation of collagen fragments, amorphous elastin agglutinations, and abnormal cross-linkages between the collagen fragments impedes the ECM from its normal repair and regenerative capacity, which manifests as wrinkled, non-elastic skin. Moderate level pulse light is a gentle non-ablative treatment which does not violate the epidermis or cause social downtime, instead it stimulates platelet activation to rebuild the skin.

TREATMENT OBJECTIVE

This treatment is customisable if you have different skin presentations in different areas. If there are multiple or overlapping skin impairments and imperfections to address, treatment is performed using a variety of settings required for these individual characteristics with the aim revise all the skin inequalities over a course.

The three major targets for IPL in the skin are chromophores, oxy and deoxyhemoglobin (blood), melanin (pigment) and water. While moderate levels of energy and heat (MLLT) are used for regeneration, high levels of energy and heat (HLLT) are used for destruction to remove chromophores from the skin.

When treatment is performed using MLLT (less heat and energy), oxyhemoglobin (blood) is the main target where hemoglobin is heated to levels between 50ºC and 60ºC with filtered light (between 475nm to 1100nm) to rebuild the skin. It liberates platelet activation, stimulates growth factors and cell proliferation, improves cutaneous micro-relief and augments skin remodelling through the repair of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is performed for facial lifting and body smoothing, also known as phototoning, to reduce rhytids (lines and wrinkles), increase hydration capability and capacity, improve skin laxity, elasticity, density and fragility, stimulate the natural production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) which are the body's natural moisturisers, tighten the skin and dilated pores for a smooth skin texture, and improve vascular health and tone, all contributing to the rejuvenation of aging or damaged skin. MLLT is a gentle non-invasive treatment which does not violate the epidermis or cause social downtime.

When treatment is performed using HLLT (more heat and energy), melanin (pigment) and oxyhemoglobin (blood) are the main targets where they are heated to levels above 80ºC to 90ºC with filtered light (between 475nm to 1100nm) to eliminate imperfections in the skin. It causes selective necrosis of pigment, photocoagulation of blood and contraction of collagen fibres on abnormal blood vessels, for the destruction and removal of unwanted cosmetic abnormalities and manifestations such as pigment, red veins, forms of dermatosis and even infection progressively disappears.

Where acne blemishes are involved, oxyhemaglobin, sebaceous glands and porphyrins are the main target, where hemoglobin is heated to above 80ºC using filtered light (between 475nm to 1100nm) causing selective photocoagulation, a reduction in vascularisation of the sebaceous glands, reduced sebum production, inflammatory acne and infection through an antibacterial action.

Just like repairing the skin, removing all the damage is a process that progresses in stages. The pulsed light, in complete safety, eliminates excess melanin present in the epidermis, facilitating the disappearance of pigmentation and targets the hemoglobin in red blood which transmits to the vessel walls causing coagulation and elimination by the body. The photo-thermal effect of pulsed light will accelerate the natural renewal of the cells of the epidermis to give it a uniform complexion and a homogeneous colour. Thanks to this treatment, the skin can regain a clearer more youthful appearance in the treatment area.

SESSIONS AND INTERVALS

Visible results can be seen from the very first session, amplifying with each successive session until the desired outcome is achieved and retained with appropriate maintenance sessions. As a one-off photofacial you can improve your skins texture and complexion (radiance/pigmentation/vascularity) but a single one-off treatment is not enough to improve rhytids (lines and wrinkles) and conditions associated with the breakdown of the ECM. For best results 5 to 6 sessions is the average number of sessions required (remove, restore, rebuild). A minimum recovery and rest period of 2-3 weeks between sessions is the most common interval to apply when treating multiple skin presentations during a course of successive treatment. The shortest interval you can afford (time/budget) is best for results but good results can still be achieved when intervals need to be a little more spread out (example 4-6 weeks) to economize treatment.

For best results:

5-6 Sessions (as needed)
2-3 Weeks apart (Interval between sessions)

RESULT

Face-lifting and body smoothing through cutaneous micro-relief, stimulation of the fibroblasts, increased production of collagen (neocollagenesis), improved elasticity and tonicity, increased hydration capability and capacity, tightened pores, improved texture, rebuilt and re-densified dermis (ECM). This treatment will also help prevent and slow cutaneous aging over time. Elimination and reduction of unwanted deposits of pigmentation within the skin. A brightening and lightening of the skin and more even complexion. Elimination or reduction of vascular abnormalities and treatment of vascular based conditions. Elimination, reduction, prevention of acne, acne rosacea and general blemishes. Results can be seen from the very first session, amplifying with each successive session until the desired outcome is achieved and retained with appropriate maintenance sessions.

RECOVERY AND RENEWAL

No social downtime unless pigmentation and viscosities removal are included. Renewal sessions can be performed as needed or at regular intervals of 3 to 6 months to maintain optimal results and prevent new skin damage from accumulating. Renewal sessions allow you to gradually and durably maintain or remove skin problems and reduce the effects of aging over time.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Unlike most IPLs and laser devices, Medacare has a physician-grade S-IPL, manufactured by EFB Beauté® in Paris for the medical industry rather than the beauty sector, and with 26 patents, is the most efficient and secure new generation technology to treat aging, pigmentation, vascular and acne based conditions (dermatosis), guaranteeing advanced safety and unparalleled treatment results, visible from just one session, amplifying with each successive session until the desired outcome is achieved and retained with appropriate maintenance sessions.

S-IPL which stands for Square Pulsed Light, this means the pulses last a fraction of a second longer than regular IPL devises, and the light wavelength isn't as intense, meaning it does the same job but your skin is less likely to be overheated.

Medacare's S-IPL has also been upgraded with integrated GSM technology to ensure better monitoring for maintenance and to improve technology performance for superior results.

For patient safety, effective treatment and skilled care, Medacare is certified, registered and experienced for advanced and specialised treatment because skilled treatment is both a science and an art. Medacare abides by all codes of regulation, ongoing training requirements and offer a professional guarantee.

TREATMENT SUPERVISION AT MEDACARE

As you progress with treatment at your own speed and level of participation, each time I see you it is important to review your progress and discuss your response to treatment, as well as re-image your skin when needed, this so that I can make sure you get the best/most out of your treatments and also to ensure you continue to receive the most relevant treatment as your skin's condition improves. In-clinic procedures are an important part of the treatment process in achieving your results, however the proposed potential and full effect of any professional treatment does not work independently to your health, diet, lifestyle and use of skincare and supplementation. What you do at home, daily, pre and post treatment, will either 'support and promote', 'counteract and neutralise' or 'deteriorate and damage' your results. Therefore, it can be essential we have open communication during treatment if it is needed, to assess these influences and identify their significance, clarify what the skin needs and what it doesn't, provide advice or establish adjustments, and also observe, over time, what you have been able to comply with and achieve, what you might be struggling with or where you could exceed further, so that I can professionally support you and your treatment outcome.

CORNEOTHERAPUTIC FACIALS

These treatments are designed to clinically care for the skin using a treatment methodology called corneotherapy and is performed as a clinical facial that includes enzymatic peeling.

Corneotherapy is the correction and improved function of the skin through restoring physiological, biological and biochemical processes in active cellular tissue that has been rendered defective or impaired by disease or aging.

Optimally functioning skin and barrier defence systems play a significant role in skin health, it can send many signals to the underlying living tissue that influences regenerative processes which is why the main principle in corneotherapy is to keep the epidermis intact at all times, working from the outer layer inward, preventing and reducing structural inflammation and protecting the skin from harmful substances and microorganisms which trigger unwanted problems.

One of the major advantages of corneotherapy is that it is largely free of side effects in comparison with a treatment with topical pharmaceuticals. Corneotheraputic treatment is free of emulsifiers, preservatives, fragrances, colours, silicones, dyes, mineral oils and amines and unique in that specific actives are prescribed and custom blended specifically for your skin.

It is also not the repeated application of the same things each session, as your skin changes, your treatment will change with it to achieve the best outcome.

Corneotherapy is indicated for the treatment of all skin types and conditions including hydration, lipid or essential fatty acid deficiency, inflammation, diffuse redness, hyperkeratinisation, impaired acid mantel, hyperactivity and sensitised.

Corneotheraputic facials are individually adapted to help prevent manage or treat both medical and cosmetic skin conditions as well as oncology skin care.

ENZYME PEEL.

An enzyme peel is a chemical free natural exfoliation process, removing skin cells, proteins and lipids and promoting cell renewal for basic skin rejuvenating. It instantly improves the skins texture, deep cleansing pores in the skin, clearing and preventing blemishes and uneven skin tone. This treatment gently stimulates new collagen synthesis improving the skins elasticity, fine lines and appearance, remodelling the skin over time with regular treatment. It will gently fade hyperpigmentation and scaring, polishing the skin, improving hydration, circulation and cell communication with anti-inflammatory benefits which is an essential foundation to improve skin health and appearance. This treatment can be performed weekly or fortnightly for six sessions, monthly for good skin maintenance or as needed.

MORE ABOUT ENZYMES.

Enzymes are biological protein molecules referred to as biocatalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells. Made up of a complex protein structure, they compose or degrade substances. They participate in the formation of free amino acids belonging to the NMF factor and support the conversion and balance between triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, glycerin, and fatty acids. By being proteolytic, they break down cell bonds through a digestive process with the proteins in the stratum corneum (corneocytes) and remove superficial cells and there lipolytic action breaks down triglycerides and triglycerides in the skin. By treating the skin with enzymes it is proven to soften the skin, work as an anti-inflammatory while still increasing microcirculation bringing nourishment to the skin. Improvement is instant but most effective long term in a course of treatments.

This is also considered a corneotheraputic treatment. Corneotherapy is essentially the link between dermatology and cosmetics. It has been coined “outside in” therapy where therapeutic effects of treatment starts at the outer stratum corneum working its way into deeper layers. It is applied to orchestrate repair and maintenance of fundamental intrinsic functions within the skin. View less

Microneedling is performed for:

+ Aging complexions and rhytides (lines and wrinkles)
+ Laxity, loss of elasticity, hydration and density
+ Photomelanosis and dyschromia (hyper/hypo pigmentation)
+ Acne, blemishes and melasma
+ Pore size, skin tone and texture
+ Lose skin and stretch marks
+ Scar revision, alopecia and hair loss

Microneedling stimulates epidermal and dermal regeneration, the fractional microchannels activate transforming growth factors for structural change, controlled neo-collagenesis (new collagen) and neo-angiogenesis (new blood vessels), this natural wound healing response produces and distributes new cells and structures for visual, textural and structural remodelling and tightening of the skin and underlying matrix. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately correcting the appearance of the skin.

As melanocytes (pigment producing cells) are also directly targeted, the repair and corrective process that occurs post needling rebalances melanogenesis for an even skin tone and a radiant appearance.

Cellular turnover is rapidly increased from treatment which reduces retention hyperkeratosis, purges keratin deposits, rebalances sebum production and increases natural moisturising factor (NMF) to promote regulated desquamation to treat many other medical and cosmetic skin conditions such as acne.

Microneedling is also indicated for scar revision to actively break up existing scar tissue, reduce fibrous deposits and stimulate melanogenesis for normalisation of even pigmentation to rebuild healthy, thicker and firmer even skin in the scared region.

Preparation:

Maintenance and support of your skin with the correct homecare is paramount to ensure more effective, longer lasting results and so more durable procedures can be performed. Skin bed preparation is instrumental to support and promote daily, healthier looking, better functioning skin.

Levels of treatment:

+ No blood and no colour change » epidermal stratum corneum.
+ No blood and pink colour change » epidermal stratum granulosum.
+ No blood and red colour change » epidermal basel spinosum.
+ Minimal irregular pinpoint blood » superficial papillary dermis.
+ Mild regular pinpoint blood » reticular dermis.
+ Moderate consistent pinpoint bleeding » subcutaneous hypodermis.

Add Prescriptive Meso-Glides™ to your treatment:

+ An alternative to PRP and injectables to optimise results.
+ Transdermal delivery of prescriptive solutions to facilitate corrections (mesotherapy).
+ Treatment of hypovitaminosis or loss of volume and hydration (non-crosslinked superficial filler).

Meso-glides have been exclusively developed for Dermapen procedures. Once controlled injury has been performed through Microneedling, repair is stimulated by the presence of retinoids, antioxidants and cell regulating nutrients, if these are inadequate, repair is unlikely to happen, and results compromised. We can mitigate this by delivering customisable high dose essential nutrients into select layers of the skin, facilitating cellular functions and chemical reactions to augment optimal results.

Add the Über PRO Meso-Peel to your treatment :

+ Aging, acne and scaring.
+ Irregular texture, clarity and complexion.
+ Melasma and dyschromia (hyperpigmentation).

The Über Pro is a superficial depth meso-peel containing mandelic, lactic, pyruvic, ferulic and kojic acids, and fortified with potent retinaldehyde, copper peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. With re-texturizing, tyrosinase-inhibiting and keratolytic properties, it resurfaces the top layer of the skin, provides a smoother, softer appearance, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and evens colour, improving hyperpigmentation, aged complexions, scaring and treating problematic skin (Oil control, acne, pore reduction etc). The full list of ingredients include:

Add the Über MD Meso-peel to your treatment: Ask in clinic.

+ Isolated deep rhytids (deeper static wrinkles)
+ Rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars
+ Dilated pores and atrophic striae (Deep stretch marks)

The Über MD is a patented world first medium depth anabolic meso-peel for fractional regeneration, applied using a cross technique for the treatment of scars and deep rhytides (Wrinkles). A revolutionary blend of trichloroacetic acid (35%) with beta-lipoxy acid, retinaldehyde (A), pyruvic acid and salicylic acids to ingeniously fill and regenerate atrophied tissue.

While these superficial and medium depth meso-peels can be applied as a stand-alone treatment for an effective result on its own, it is designed to be applied immediately after microneedling in the same session, working together as a full skin rejuvenation system for customised treatment, enhanced effects and impressive results.

Aftercare:

There is a misconception that microneedling needs to be an exceptionally bloody treatment, but it has been established that you can achieve the same level of collagen activation, synthesis and regeneration from a 1mm treatment as opposed to a 3mm treatment depth, so more blood does not equal a better treatment. Images of faces covered in blood does not represent this treatment fairly, it is not an exceptionally painful treatment with extreme trauma and downtime, instead when it is performed, client comfort is important because the use of numbing creams reduce all results and endanger the skin so a gentle touch is needed. Post treatment the skin feels like a mild to moderate sunburn, with no scabbing, grazing or track marks, only mild pinpoint blood that goes away.

Post treatment, the inflammatory phase occurs over day 1 to 5 (Phagocytosis, growth factors) which includes some social downtime depending on the depth of treatment. The proliferation phase occurs from day 2 to 21 days (Angiogenesis, collagen deposition, fibroplasia, GAGS, re-epithelialisation, contraction, apoptosis), these are the seeds of your results. The maturation phase occurs from day 20 to 24 months (Replacement, remodelling, maturation) which is the achievement and progression of your visible results.

Typically you will see results from your very first treatment, accumulating visually within the first 6-12 weeks, lasting and more significant results will become more visible after a series of treatments.

On average 4-6 sessions, 4-8 weeks apart is recommended for best progressive results when treating below the epidermis, into the dermis and hypodermis. Superficial treatment however can be performed again sooner when only targeting epidermal treatment.

The Dermalux can be performed in the week following treatment and regularly between sessions to optimise healing and further advance results.

CLAREBLEND BLEMISHES REMOVAL Sebaceous/Vascular/hyperkeratinized Irregularities (Cosmetically remove skin tags & benign blemishes)

Clareblend Isolated Blemishes Removal

30 mins · $135

More info
CREATE FLAWLESS SKIN, WITH INSTANT RESULTS

The Clareblend skin system can quickly and effectively treat and cosmetically removes a wide variety of benign minor skin irregularities, within and on the surface of the skin.

This is a non-invasive and precise treatment that produces instantaneous results. It is non-invasive with minimal discomfort, no anesthesia is required, is effective use on all skin types, from dark to light skins and is even suitable for the most sensitive skin.

RADIO-FREQUENCY

The use of radio frequency for selective treatment has been found to produce a highly efficient thermal effect on biological tissue, for instant cosmetic results. Different from optical energy, radio frequency energy is dependent on the electrical properties of the tissue rather than on concentration of chromophores in the skin for more selective thermal destruction of targeted sites.

Removable Vascular and Non-Vascular Lesions Include:

Benign minor skin lesions.
Skin tags, fibromas and seborrheic keratosis.
Sebaceous hyperplasia.
Cholesterol deposits and milium.
Benign lentigos and lipofuscin.
Dilated red veins, spider naevi and angiomas.
Comedones, inflamed and cystic acne.
Hyper-pigmented and raised scars.

Sebaceous Irregularities

Sebaceous irregularities tend to appear on the t-zone area of face, as well as the scalp. Family history and dietary lifestyle can contribute to prevalence of these irregularities. Sebaceous irregularities include commonly occurring cholesterol deposits, clogged pores, milia, and pimples. Sebaceous hyperplasia, a distinctive donut-shaped sebaceous irregularity, also fall in this category, as do cysts.

Vascular Irregularities

Vascular irregularities can appear in different forms and tend to be more noticeable in fair skinned or thin-skinned individuals. They are superficial in nature and present on the upper epidermal level of the skin. Vascular irregularities appear most often on the face. Some of these irregularities such as cherry angiomas may appear on the chest and torso. Common conditions such as dilated capillaries, cherry angiomas, and spider naevi fall in the vascular irregularities category.

Hyperkeratinized Irregularities

Keratinocytes, which make up 90% of epidermal skin cells, go through the process of keratinization which regenerates the skin regularly and results in a skin that looks smoother and fresher with a more youthful glow. Keratoses are skin growths that result from the excess production of keratinized cells. They appear in varying different forms, consisting of soft or hard keratinized cells. A disorder of the cells lining the inside of a hair follicle, where the normal desquamation process is interrupted by an excess of keratin, causing dead skin cells to bond together and can cause a blockage. Like many common minor skin irregularities, hyperkeratinized irregularities tend to increase in prevalence with age, specifically developing in middle age and older. Hyperkeratinized irregularities include keratin cysts, skin tags, fibromas, and keratoses.

High radio frequency is used for the removal of benign lesions and minor skin irregularities while low radio frequency is used for follicular and acne electrothermolysis treatment.

PLASMAGE SKIN REGENERATION Resurfacing/Blepharoplasma Eye Contour Treatment/Skin Tightening/Rhytides, Stria & Scar Revision/Acne Treatment/Benign Lesions Removal (Fractional Plasma)

Plasmage Free Advice

20 mins · Free

More info
BRERA PLASMAGE SUBLIMATION (SOFT SURGERY)

The first patented fractional plasma device and the first and only Plasmage in the South Island for specialised treatment.

Treatment options include:

+ Blefaroplasma® (Eye lifting and eyelid hood treatment)
+ Lines, wrinkles and laxity (Fibroblasting sublimation)
+ Scar revision
+ Stretch marks and loose skin
+ Xanthelasma
+ Lentigos
+ Verruca vulgaris (Warts)

WHAT IS PLASMA

Plasma is the forth state of matter: Liquid, Solid, Gas and Plasma

The principle is to ionise gases in the air to create a small electrical arc, similar to a tiny lightening bolt, with which the areas affected by aesthetic problems may be treated, without unwanted damage to surrounding areas.

The plasma causes instant contraction and tightening of skin fibres causing shortening and tightening of the skin fibres, thus resulting in the reduction of the skins surface.

The finial result is an improvement of the firmness and tension of the skin (lifting effect). Since plasma energy affects the deeper dermal layers, the result is a lifted contour, a decrease in deep wrinkles, thicker and firmer skin. Plasma promotes new collagen protein which causes the original collagen protein to strengthen in the skin.

BRERA FRACTIONAL PLASMA

The Plasmage® is a medical device for non-invasive aesthetic micro-surgery. It can treat delicate areas safely like upper and lower eyelids, where lasers and radio surgical units cannot, it works by sublimating tissue without side effects on the skin. The Fractional Plasma® patented by Brera Medical technologies in Italy, allows for higher precision and safety than standard plasma, is less aggressive than other plasma based devices, and has less downtime and cost than surgery.

This non-invasive treatment can deliver a brighter, more contoured youthful appearance where the results of the treatment become visible quickly and are incredibly long-lasting without the need for fillers or surgical correction.

This Fractional Plasma® is most well know for Blefaroplasma® treatment, which is a non-surgical alternative to correct the eye contour and eyelids (lines, drooping, fat deposits which make eyes look tired and aged), thus improving the appearance of the face.

Plasmage Preparation (TLA)

45 mins · Varies

More info
TOPICAL LOCAL ANAESTHETIC (TLA)

Topical local anaesthetic (TLA) leads to a superficial loss of sensation over the skin where it is directly applied. Unlike local anaesthetics, TLA does not require painful injections and is topically administered on the skin via a cream. TLA works by reversibly blocking the nerve conduction of the nerve cells within the dermis of the skin. TLA disrupts the nerve cell permeability to sodium, decreasing polarisation and subsequently impeding the nerve cells ability to generate an action potential.

ADVERSE EFFECTS TO CONSIDER

TLA in rare cases can cause a burning or stinging sensation at the site of administration, if this occurs the cream can be removed.

Rarely TLA may also lead to an allergic reaction, if you are allergic, this procedure cannot be performed at Medacare, patch testing before the day of your procedure can test for this risk.

If TLA is used in excess, it can cause systemic toxicity, this is why there is a strict limit on the amount of TLA that can be used during one procedure to mitigate this risk. Medacare will not budge on this which may limit how much work can be done with Plasma in a single day if you have multiple or large areas to treat, multiple appointments will be needed.

IS TLA ESSENTIAL

Yes, to reduce the pain, discomfort and sensation of the treatment so that you can comfortably lie still for controlled and accurate plasma to be performed, especially in delicate sensitive areas.

Still having a small amount of sensation can be beneficial to the treatment outcome and rejuvenation effects, in part the pain signal from topical treatment is involved in proliferation and the synthesis of collagen. Zero sensation temporarily inhibits processes relevant to the repair of the skin in human skin fibroblasts (specialised cells). View less

FOLLOW-UP AND SUPERVISION (POST CARE)

It takes at least 14 weeks to see final results and complete the healing cycle. Changes are likely to be subtle from day to day and more dramatic as they cumulate over time. Improvements may continue for up to 6-12 months. The healing cycle unfolds in two stages over 3 months.

THE HEALING PROCESS

Plasmage Healing Stage 1: DOTS

Stage one of Plasmage healing is when scab dots are on the treatment area. Face dots shed approximately 4 - 14 days following treatment (average client begins to shed dots on day 7). Dots on the body often take longer than the face, potentially around 2-3 weeks.

No sun! Avoid all sun exposure by keeping a physical barrier between your treatment area and sunlight during Stage 1 of healing.

Pat dry - keep dry! No Products, Liquid, or Steam! Keep area clean and dry. If needed, clean treated area using a mild, unscented, alcohol-free cleanser such as Cliniprep. Do not apply sunscreen or makeup (even mineral makeup) until the scabbing has fallen off completely. This is to avoid infection or disrupting the scabs prematurely. Avoid exercising immediately after a treatment, as any heat, steam, or sweat can add to inflammation and disturb dots. Do not use any pools, hot tubs, or saunas until after the dots have fallen.

Keep the dots on! No Picking or Friction on Scabs! Prematurely removing scabs may result in scarring and discoloration. Allow scabs to come off on their own. This will ensure the best possible result and avoid scarring, hyperpigmentation, and infection. The longer the scabs stay put, the longer the skin has a chance to heal itself with the protection of the scab. Use a 100% silk pillowcase and silk eye mask for sleep to avoid scab friction.

You may resume most activities immediately after any treatment, but you may not look your best during healing stage one while the dots are on the treatment area. Depending on treatment location and comfort level, you may choose to avoid in-person appointments during this time.

If needed, use ice or anti-inflammatory herbs, and/or oral antihistamines to help with swelling and/or itching.

Avoid shaving over any treated area until the skin has fully healed.

Avoid smoking.

Plasma Healing Stage Two: DOTS NO MORE!

Stage two begins when the last dot has fallen and continues until 3 months from the date of treatment has passed. You may apply makeup at this stage and slowly return to your normal skin routines.

Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to the treatment area until at least 3 months after your date of treatment. Healing skin can become damaged by UV rays, causing hyperpigmentation and/or premature aging.

Update SPF 50+ every 80 minutes.

Avoid harsh products (like acids, peels, or physical exfoliants) until the 8 weeks post-treatment healing point. Use common sense: if it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it. Patch test and re-introduce active ingredients slowly.

HEALING PROCESS DAY BY DAY

Day 1: Try to lay propped up with pillows. Some discomfort is normal. Swelling (if present) will likely be worse in the mornings and lessen towards the evening. It will feel like a bad sunburn.

Day 2: Swelling typically peaks today. Still feeling like a sunburn. This too shall pass.

Day 3: You may notice an improvement in the swelling and the “dots” will start to crust/scab over. Allow scabs to fall off on their own. Discomfort will have subsided a bit.

Day 4: Discomfort should continue to diminish.

Day 5: Scabs may still be present.

Days 6 - 14: Wait patiently for the remaining scabs to fall off on their own. It is normal for the new skin under the scabs to be pink or red.

Weeks 2 - 8: After scabs fall off, you may have tender, peeling or textured skin for a few days or weeks. Once tenderness subsides, use a non-physical, gentle, enzyme exfoliant to slough off peeling skin. After scabs fall off, you may also use healing serums, lotions and make up. Each day, your skin will progressively return to its’ original coloration and texture.

Depending on laxity and desired results, you may have multiple treatments on the same area. Areas may be treated every 3 months to let the collagen heal and turn over.

MESOECLAT SKIN REJUVENATION Wrinkles/Imperfections/Immediate-Effect (Lose your imperfections, without losing your facial expressions)

Mesoéclat

30 mins ·

More info
MESOECLAT ®

Immediate-Effect Skin Rejuvenation

Exclusive to Medacare in Southland, the Mesoeclat® facial procedure improves all aspects of the skin. The Mesoeclat® method consists of three complementary systems, whose aim is to..

+ Stimulate the renewal of the surface layers of the epidermis
+ Increase the luminosity of the skin
+ Moisturise in depth
+ Eliminate wrinkles and expression lines

The Mesoeclat system is an intensive rejuvenation program consisting of 5 sessions of treatments at 10-14 day intervals or can be used as a single treatment to shock the skin into shape when needed. Each session of treatment consists of three phases, which act at different levels to transform the skin causing..

+ Visibly younger skin
+ Enhanced brightness
+ Reduction of wrinkles
+ Softer, firmer more uniform skin
+ Treatment of skin imperfections
+ Increased hydration, volume and density
+ Immediate and long term effects

WHY DO MESOECLAT ®.

Skin problems and aging are produced by the inexorable passage of time, genetic factors and the bad habits that we adopt in our daily routine, which lead to premature cell death, causing the skin cells to lose the capacity to perform their functions correctly, reducing the skin’s elasticity, flexibility and clarity. All of this results in a skin that is parchment-like, lacking vitality and health. Wrinkles and imperfections appear, the skin loses its natural tone, luminosity and density, becoming lackluster and unhealthy.

Mesoéclat® stimulates and improves your skins metabolism, which is a life sustaining, metabolic reaction, that takes place in your cells, all of which are chemical. If your metabolism slows, your cells don't exfoliate as well, collagen and elastin is not replaced and damage is not repaired. Every skin concern from sensitivity, to acne and ageing is metabolic, even infection is sensed as a metabolic stress, promoting a pro-inflammatory response. Your metabolism keeps you youthful, healthy and alive. An infants skin cells renew every 14 days, when you hit your 20s, your cells renew every 22 days, with age it can take over 50 days. This gradual deceleration doesn't just effect the way it looks, it effects your skins inherent functions. Your cells ability to respond to nutrients slows, which are not as easily absorbed in your 30s as they was in your 20s, changing the way you can respond to skincare, with can be revived by Mesoéclat®.

Carbonyl stress, which is a biochemical change in the skin due to too many highly reactive unstable chemical species formed by different cellular entities called free radicals, increasing concentrations of malondialdehyde, lipid peroxide, nitric oxide products and protein carbonyl (carbonyl stress - oxidative, hyperoxidant and nitrosative). The increased production of these without a proper effective endogenous and exogenous antioxidant system (such as Vitamins A, C and E etc) generates a condition of severe oxidative stress with the destruction of structural proteins and cellular changes causes functional impairments that lead to the development of skin disorders, acute and chronic inflammatory processes and skin cancers, as well as aesthetic changes to the skin such as stains, marks and lines in a chronic aging process. Mesoeclat® is one of the worlds most effective and leading treatments to combat carbonyl stress and glycation directly and effectively which is why it improves all aspects of the skin including its health and appearance.

Mesoéclat is an immediate effect skin regenerating treatment that acts directly on the effects of time, skin health and aging. This treatment helps promote the body’s natural defences and cell regeneration mechanisms, giving the skin all the necessary elements for improved nourishment, optimum hydration, skin health and appearance. It stimulates the skins ability to fight the ageing process, removing the signs of wrinkles and expression lines. The result is a rejuvenating effect that brightens and revitalizes the face in a minimum time span, leaving the skin softer, tighter and more uniform. Mesoeclat® treatment can help you maintain and improve the condition of your skin for years to come. It is beauty with purpose.

The mesoéclat® method comprises the simultaneous actions of three complementary systems targeted at brightening the skin, facilitating the elimination of the outer epidermal layers and deep nourishment of the skin, helping to attenuate small facial wrinkles, blemishes and imperfections. It seeks to counteract the effects of time and exposure to the sun. Application can be started any time of year, but always with the understanding that sun is the skin’s main “enemy”. So it is essential to apply moisturizing sun protection from mesoestetic® to protect the skin from sun damage and prevent the appearance of pigmentation problems. The first mesoéclat® solution is made from a salicylic acid base, which has an exfoliating effect on the skin, promoting cell renew and helping decrease and treat imperfections. Following the solution, the mesoéclat® ampoules are applied with there powerful combination of organic silica, chondroitin sulphate, L-carnitine and lipoid acid, which exerts the powerful regenerating effect. For optimal effects and best results, the mesoéclat® method can be performed as a full treatment cycle of 5-6 recurring sessions with 2 weeks between sessions and maintenance sessions can be done monthly. Alternatively it can be performed as and when needed, at intervals that suit your treatment plan or as one off treatment for a special occasion as close to the even as possible (ultimately on the day).

Phase I: Pre-treatment. Skin cleansing. An in depth, deep cleansing of the skin.

Phase II: Solution one. Preparation of the skin, the mesoéclat® exfoliating solution is applied to clean, dry skin, applying friction to the surface of the face, neck and neckline for epidermal renewal, reduction of imperfections and the preparation of the skin for phase II. The solution is left on until dry and not removed. A mild to moderate tingling sensation may occur during this phase. This can be alleviated by gently fanning the affected area.

Phase III: Solution Two. A mesoéclat® ampoule is applied, across the entire treatment area. It must be left until dry and is not removed. This is an intensive shock treatment and a more heated sensation can be experienced during this phase, fanning the face can make the treatment more comfortable. This is the intensive anti-aging and skin regeneration phase that also provides an immediate effect of volume and luminosity (tight, smooth radiant skin). The hydra vital face mask can be applied after this ampoule for deep hydration.

Phase V: Post-treatment. The mesoéclat® cream is applied using gentle upward strokes for refinement. This treatment cream has a high content in lactokine, kojic acid and vitamin C provides hydrating, brightening and anti-oxidising action produces a pleasant sensation on the skin. A high factor sun protection called Melan 130+ will be applied with depigmenting ingredients to further help regulate melanin synthesis by reinforcing the preventative anti spot action. It is a coloured texture that provides a natural tone and softens imperfections, unifying even the skin tone so that when you leave clinic your skin looks its absolute best instantly while the effects that create long term effects start to take place.

HOME MAINTENANCE TREATMENT.

The results of the mesoéclat method are reinforced by the daily application mesoéclat® cream, with its high content in lactokine, kojic acid and vitamin C provides hydrating, brightening and anti-oxidising action. Wrinkles and skin imperfections (acne, scaring and pigment) are attenuated and the skin progressively recovers its firmer clearer aspect.

As a complement the use of the mesoestetic anti aging flash cream is recommended because of its regenerating and hydrating effects which is avail.

It is also important to use sun protection before and after initiating cosmetic treatment to reduce negative effects of sun exposure on the skin and to protect the results of the treatment long term. The optimal sun protection cream for the mesoéclat® method is melan 130+ pigment control or a mesoprotech® formula which are both next-generation skincare technology that combines the highest solar protection with specific ingredients to make each a unique product. They protection against UVB + UVA radiation and against visible light (HEV) and infrared radiation (IR). They contain optimal combinations of physical, biological and/or chemical filters to provide maximum effectiveness and cosmetic benefits.

OSMOSIS DERMAL REJUVENATING SYSTEM Medical/Facial Infusions (Beauty With Purpose)

Osmosis Facial Infusion

30 mins ·

More info
This treatment is custom blended for your needs as they present on the day of treatment.

OSMOSIS DERMAL REJUVENATING SYSTEM

The Facial Infusion is suitable for both Men and Women, and is appropriate for all skin types and concerns. It is great for anyone wanting to bring their skin to its highest potential.

BEATY WITH PURPOSE

The Osmosis Facial Infusion is a non-invasive dermal rejuvenation system that is a painless and effective approach to total skin rejuvenation. It heals acne, repairs photo damage, thickens the dermis, lifts hyperpigmentation, restores capillary flow and reverses the signs of aging. The core of this treatment is an organic acid-free solution that causes a 30 day peel (cell renewal response) to deliver exceptional results without compromising the health of the skin. It contains a 2.5% retinaldehyde based chirally correct solution feeding the dermis with ingredients our skin receptors recognise, to achieve and maintain a thriving complexion with even colour, smooth textures and optimal dermal rejuvenation.

This treatment can:

* Thickens the dermis (where ageing occurs)
* Reduces overproduction of sebum resulting in normalized oil output
* Lifts hyperpigmentation
* Reduces fine lines and improve skin tone and elasticity
* Restores capillary flow and increasing nutrition in the skin
* Increases firmness and elasticity
* Normalizes skin tone and heal red/inflamed spots on the skin

To enhance product absorption and create immediate, visible results with no downtime this service can be performed with the RevitaPen Pro. The RevitaPen Pro is a nano-needling pen with sphere-shaped pyramid-like tips (instead of needles) that rapidly pulsates to create thousands of microscopic nano-channels in the skin's epidermis. This drives active ingredients deep into the skin using a pain-free non-invasive transdermal delivery system, where the actives can then be more efficiently utilised for optimal restoration and ultimate rejuvenation.

TRANSFORMING SKIN HEALTH

The reason correctly applied treatments like this are important is because it feeds your metabolism. Your metabolism is a life sustaining, metabolic reaction, that takes place in your cells, all of which are chemical. If your metabolism slows, your cells don't exfoliate as well, collagen and elastin is not replaced and damage is not repaired. Every skin concern from disease to damage including aging is metabolic, even infection is sensed as a metabolic stress, promoting a pro-inflammatory response, so your metabolism is vital to keep you youthful, healthy and alive.

This treatment system is unique because it works entirely on your metabolism while avoiding creating any damage to your skin in the process.

As an infant, your skin cells renew every 14 days, when you hit your 20s, your cells renew every 22 days, but as your metabolism slows with age it can take over 50 days. This gradual deceleration doesn't just effect the way it looks, it effects your skins inherent functions and your cells ability to respond to nutrients also slows, which are not as easily absorbed in your 30s as they was in your 20s, changing the way you can respond to skincare.

To improve the rate again in which your cells renew and utilise nutrition we can penetrate chirally correct, high-dose active ingredients into the dermis using the Osmosis Dermal Rejuvenating System. This not only stimulates the metabolic responses that treat unwanted conditions but also supples the nutrients needed to enhance cosmetic results.

At Medacare, you can be confident in knowing that you are being treated with the best products, in the safest way, that will also be modified and specialised for your specific care and individual needs as they present on the day of treatment.

POST-CARE

A post treatment skincare kit is available for purchase for $117.00 after treatment. This kit is designed to help further enhance your results at home for the week following treatment. The kit contains small size Purify Enzyme Cleanser, Infuse, Rescue Epidermal Repair Serum, StemFactor Growth Factor Serum, Quench Nourishing Moisturiser and Lip Balm

A prescriptive mono or combined peel procedure offers you visible, immediate and progressive skin results.

Our skin renews and regenerates naturally every 28 days, but with time and at certain times of life, adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, this process becomes irregular and slower; provoking the appearance of skin alterations: acne, shine, dilated pores, wrinkles, dull tone, pigmentation spots, etc. By the application of chemical peels the elimination of the top layers of skin is encouraged, acting at different layers of the skin tissue through 3 mechanisms of action.

1. A quantitive increase in GAGS.

+ Increase of the presence of water in the dermis.
+ The volume of this increases.
+ Reduction of wrinkles.

2. Changes in the dermal collagen and elastin.

+ Reorganization and stimulation of the structural dermal elements.

3. Stimulation of fibroblast function

+ Increase in the activity of the fibroblasts, which synthesize the different macromolecules of the extracellular matrix.
+ Increased hydration.

TREATMENT AREAS TO TARGET AND CHOOSE FROM:

+ Face, neck, chest, back, abdomen, arms. legs, hands and feet.

+ Maintenance 4 per year or as required

ORGANIC ACIDS:

Organic acids exert a profound influence on the skin, effecting lipids, proteins and corneocyte cohesiveness to name a few. Lower concentrations of acids reduce inter-corneocyte cohesion directly above the granular layer. Higher concentrations of acids result in detachment of keratinocytes. A chemical peel is also known chemoexfoliation or chemoablation, and applied for targeted cutaneous ablation at a desired depth, ultimately resulting in a rapid and predictable improvement in the clinical appearance of skin.

This results in a few major effects:

A quickening of the cell cycle.
Removing cell structures replacing them with healthy new ones.
The smoothing of the stratum corneum (skin).
An increase in extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid and connective tissue.

In more detail, the caustic agents used for chemical peels cause controlled keratocoagulation and denaturation of the proteins within the epidermis and dermis, resulting in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Such targeted inflammation activates the normal healing signal cascade, including stimulation, development and deposition of new dermal collagen and elastin, reorganisation of structural scaffold proteins and dermal connective tissue, and regeneration of new keratinocytes. This results in rejuvenation and thickening of the epidermis and an increase in dermal volume. Simultaneously, the keratocoagulation and subsequent exfoliation result in improvement in superficial and medium depth dyspigmentation. While there might be subtle variability between the types of chemical agents used and their intended cosmetic outcome (i.e., reduction of redness vs. dyspigmentation vs. scarring), the general goal of a chemical peel is to improve the clinical appearance of skin by decreasing the quantity and quality of rhytids and/or acne scars, reducing inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions, improving dyspigmentation, and producing an overall more youthful appearance.

The chemical type or combination, strength and number of layers or applications required is individual to each condition and selected after consultation and skin imaging. A peel can be performed as a single treatment or for the very best results a series of professionally administered peels supported by a home care regime is recommended. Results can be seen from the first treatment and are progressive. Associated down time and healing rate of each peel is directly proportional to the depth of the peel and inversely related to the cosmetic outcome desired such as new skin tone and texture.

Peeling is also an ideal tool for complimenting or boosting other procedures such as anti-aging and depigmenting treatments, mesotherapy, facial implants, botulinum toxin, radiotherapy, phototherapy, etc.

C.PROF DEPIGMENTATION TRAN3X MESOTHERAPY

C.prof depigmentation solution is a powerful combination of active ingredients with corrective action of pigment disorders, regulating production and removing the melanin present in epidermal cells, responsible for visible pigmentation. It also contains antioxidant agents that regulate melanin overproduction, evening out skin tone and providing brightness and vitality. It is for the treatment of moderate hyperpigmentation (solar or senile lentigo) or PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) in fair and medium photo-types (I-III).

Melanogenesis consists of the production of melanin inside melanocytes, with several triggering factors in this process (sun radiation, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, inflammatory changes). Once synthesised, the melanin formed is transferred through the melanocyte dendrites to epidermal cells and continues rising to the upper skin layers where it finally gets dark. Excessive accumulation of melanin in the skin surface ultimately results in the formation of visible spots.

Each of the active ingredients of the c.prof depigmentation solution acts in different stages of the melanogenesis process. Prior to activation of the melanocyte (tranexamic acid), during the synthesis of melanin (N-acetyl glucosamine + idebenone) and after formation of melanin (vitamin C).

C.PROF MESOTOX MESOTHERAPY

C.prof mesotox solution is an alternative to botox or can be used in conjunction with it. Once delivered into the skin, it inhibits dermal micro-contractions and prevents the formation of lines. There are three basic proteins forming the structure of the skin, fibrin, elastin and collagen. When these are damaged, expression lines appear, as a result of the natural contraction of facial muscles. Several factors make more visible this type of skin aging, such as the passage of time, sun exposure, lifestyle and other environmental or extrinsic factors. The synergistic peptides of c.prof mesotox solution work jointly to provide a higher efficacy degree than when a single peptide is administered, even at double concentration, inhibiting skin microcontractions that cause this type of wrinkle.

C.PROF MESOPEPTIDE MESOTHERAPY

C.prof 014 mesopeptide solution is a biomimetic peptide formula for dermal redensification and optimal arrangement, to regain facial definition. It helps to improve the firmness and structure of the cellular matrix to treat thin, aged skins, with a loss of facial oval definition and facial flaccidity. Biomimetic peptides redensify the skin thanks to the collagen inducing activity and its improvement of fibril arrangement. It contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 to stimulates collagen synthesis, help removes wrinkles, tightens and moisturises the skin. It also contains hyaluronic acid for its highly moisturising effect and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 to improve skin tissue and stimulate Lumican to achieve optimum, functional arrangement.

C.PROF PHOTOAGING MESOTHERAPY

C.prof photoaging solution brightens, moisturises and firms the skin for a photo-protective anti-aging effect. Photoaging is a process induced by continuous exposition to ultraviolet rays. It provokes molecular and structural damage to the skin such as: formation of free radicals, reduction in collagen synthesis, degradation of the elastin, thickening of the epidermis, etc. The c.prof photoaging solution counteracts the manifestations of skin aging, protecting the skin from environmental aggressions and other factors such as stress, fatigue, smoking, pollution, the things that can prematurely or aggressively age our skin, to keep it looking younger and healthier, for longer. Key delivery of actives include hyaluronic acid, vit C, taurine and idebenone.

X.Prof 151 Glutathione antioxidant treatment has four main functions: depigmentation, antioxidant effect, detoxification and immune system booster. Glutathione is one of the cells most important endogenous antioxidants. Glutathione is a tripeptide that is synthesized from three amino acids: L-cysteine, glutamate and glycine. It inhibits melanin synthesis due to its competitive effect with L-DOPA in its bond with tyrosinase during pigmentation synthesis leading to the reduction of hyperpigmentation. Because of its strong antioxidant nature, it acts directly to neutralise free radicals and reactive oxygen compounds that damage and age the skin and helps maintain exogenous antioxidants such as vitamin C and E. This makes it powerful for detoxifying the skin from harmful endogenous substances that causes conditions such as acne or dull marked blemished skin.

ACNELAN ®
Acne Medical Treatment program

It takes approximately 90 days to reinvent the skin, and to achieve the result you want you also have to invest the right amount of effort. The minimum effort for good skin transformation with this treatment is 3 sessions initially with the right support at home (skincare, diet, lifestyle). 3-6 sessions may be required depending on the severity of the skin condition.

Acnelan is a dermocosmetic treatment, but it is only for those wanting a more in-depth treatment where they are prepared to go through social downtime and healing between sessions to achieve optimal results. A dermocosmetic treatment is where cosmetics and dermatology or beauty and health meet, with in-depth action effecting the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis.

+ Correcting skin problems
+ Protecting skin tissue
+ Preventing skin concerns

Acne is a multifactorial dysfunction of the skin, all grades of acne require the correct topical treatment, grades 3-5 must include systemic treatment.

When treating with Acnelan, grades 1-3 require 3 intensive sessions, grades 3-5 require 6 sessions. 1-2 sessions are not enough to normalise pilosebaceous activity.

There must be an minimum interval of 21 days between sessions. Dermalux LED phototherapy can be performed between sessions.

IPL HAIR REMOVAL Dark/Light/Hirsutism/Hypertrichosis

IPL Hair Removal Free Advice

15 mins ·

More info
PHYSICIAN GRADE IPL HAIR REMOVAL

Unlike most IPLs and laser devices, the Anthélia® is physician-grade, manufactured by EFB Beauté® in Paris for the medical industry rather than the beauty sector, and with 26 patents, is the most efficient and secure new generation technology for lasting hair removal, guaranteeing advanced safety and unparalleled treatment results, visible from the first session, amplifying with each successive session and retained with appropriate maintenance sessions.

Medacare's Anthelia IPL has also been upgraded with integrated GSM technology from EFB Paris to ensure better monitoring for maintenance and to improve performance for superior results. The Anthelia is also an S-IPL which stands for Square Pulsed Light, this means the pulses last a fraction of a second longer than regular IPL devises, and the light wavelength isn't as intense, meaning it does the same job but your skin is less likely to be overheated.

Medacare specialises in skilled treatment with IPL as it is both a science and an art.

HAIR REMOVAL

6-10 Sessions (Depending on area)
6-12 Weeks Apart (Depending on area)

TREATMENT

IPL lasting removal for dark, hair reduction for blonde and white hair and treatment and management of hirsutism and hypertrichosis (abnormal androgenic hair growth).

OBJECTIVE

Melanin (dark pigment) in the hair is the main target of this treatment. Melanin is heated to above 70ºC using filtered light (between 610nm to 1100nm) causing coagulation of the follicular papillae proteins during the anagen phase. Without melanin, in terminal red, blonde and white hairs the target is hemoglobin inside the hair follicle. Hemoglobin is heated to above 80ºC using filtered light (between 475nm to 1100nm) causing coagulation of the hair follicle matrix and papilla during the anagen phase.

RESULT

Treatable hair is eliminated and hair growth is stopped.

RECOVERY AND RENEWAL

No social downtime. Renewal sessions or management maybe necessary for new hair growth due to genetic, medication or hormones in some areas such as the face in women.
