Laser hair removal is a hair removal treatment that can only be performed at a medical institution under the supervision of a doctor.The medical laser has a high output (power) and is characterized by its ability to effectively treat any type of hair.

“What is medical laser hair removal?”

Laser hair removal is a "medical procedure" that is only permitted at medical institutions under the supervision of a doctor.This is a hair removal method that uses laser light with a wavelength that is easily absorbed by melanin (black pigment) and uses the resulting thermal energy.The heat energy destroys the tissue surrounding the hair, resulting in a hair removal effect.

The laser used in medical laser hair removal does not react with the skin surface, so it is gentle on the skin with little risk of burns or pigmentation.In addition, hair removal using phototherapeutic devices (IPL), which is carried out at non-medical institutions and some medical institutions, is difficult to achieve sufficient hair removal effects because the damage to the skin is large compared to the output. However, since laser hair removal uses high-power irradiation, it can be highly effective on any type of hair, including downy hair and vellus hair.

For black hair with a lot of melanin
will be absorbed

About Mediostar NeXT

We perform hair removal using Asclepion's "Mediostar NeXT," a next-generation diode laser hair removal device.Based on a new hair removal theory, this is the latest type of hair removal device that targets stem cells shallower than the hair root instead of the hair root. A relatively mild laser irradiation method called a thermal storage type is effective, making hair removal almost painless and gentle on the skin.Compared to traditional laser hair removal devices, redness and swelling of the irradiated area are less likely to occur, causing burns. However, the cooling device installed in the handpiece prevents skin damage and allows for safer hair removal.

Features of Mediostar NeXT

Mediostar NeXT has added an irradiation mode called smooth pulse, which is not available in conventional hair removal devices or the previous model Mediostar miXT.This allows laser irradiation to be performed at a speed incomparable to conventional methods, significantly shortening the treatment time without sacrificing the hair removal effect.

In addition, Mediostar NeXT simultaneously irradiates lasers with two different wavelengths: 810nm and 940nm.Each wavelength has its merits; 2nm is similar to the wavelength used in conventional diode laser hair removal devices and is suitable for applying heat to the hair shaft in a short period of time, while 810nm is easy to reach deep layers and does not irritate the skin. It has the advantage of being small. By blending two types of laser wavelengths, this hair removal device is highly effective for hair removal on people with dark skin and beard hair removal.

Because it is speedy and has high hair removal ability, it is especially suitable for whole body hair removal that requires a wide irradiation area and removes hair of various types.It takes less than half the time to complete the procedure, so the burden on the person receiving the treatment is considerably lighter.

Mediostar NeXT hair removal mechanism

Traditionally, it was believed that hair stem cells were located at the hair root, so most laser hair removal devices were designed to completely destroy the hair root. The disadvantage is that it tends to cause redness and swelling afterwards.

A new theory derived from recent hair growth research shows that hair stem cells exist in an area called the bulge area, which is shallower than the hair root, and this means that even without destroying the hair root, the bulge area can be removed. If you can destroy it, it means that you can get permanent hair removal effect.Mediostar NeXT uses a longer pulse width (the time the laser is emitted in one shot) than before and blends a laser with a longer wavelength to gradually heat the hair and target the bulge area that exists around it. A heat storage type hair removal method is used, which destroys the hair as if it were removed.

Traditional epilator target

Mediostar target

Generally, after hair removal, a phenomenon called terminal hair may occur, where the hair becomes thicker or darker than before hair removal, but Mediostar NeXT has a different mechanism from previous epilators, so hair becomes terminal. This is a model where this is unlikely to occur.It is also said that Mediostar NeXT can often remove hair from areas where other epilators have caused hard hair.

Laser irradiation

The heat generated in response to the hair spreads and destroys stem cells in the bulge area.

hair falls out
will no longer grow

About the hair cycle

Hair has a growth cycle, and this hair growth cycle is called the "hair cycle."Hair grows through repeated division of hair matrix cells, and the hair growth process consists of a cycle of growth, catagen, and resting phases, as shown in the diagram below.Since the hair cycle differs for each hair, it is necessary to repeat laser irradiation at appropriate intervals to achieve sufficient hair removal effect.We recommend intervals of at least 1 month for the face and 1 months or more for the body.In the case of Mediostar NeXT, you can apply it to your body every other month, but considering that it will also damage the hair roots, the hair removal effect will be better if you apply it 1 months apart after the hair has grown properly. .At our clinic, our basic set consists of 2 treatments spaced at appropriate intervals.

Hair cycle
  • Growth period

    When hair matrix cells begin to divide, hair growth begins within the skin.

  • Growth period

    A period during which hair matrix cells actively divide, hair grows, and extends to the skin surface.

  • Regression period

    The period from when hair matrix cells stop dividing and when hair that has stopped growing falls out.

  • Resting period

    The period during which lost hair rests within the skin until it grows back.

Six features of Mediostar NeXT

  • Point

    High hair removal effect

    Mediostar NeXT uses a blend of lasers of two wavelengths, 810nm and 940nm, to provide highly effective and safe hair removal for all skin types and hair types.

  • Point

    short treatment time

    The smooth pulse function installed in Mediostar NeXT allows for much faster hair removal compared to other hair removal devices.

  • Point

    very little pain

    The pain is kept to a minimum as it is a heat storage hair removal method that heats the hair over time.You won't feel any pain in most areas, and the pain you may experience in some areas is mild.

  • Point

    damage to the skin
    rare

    Because it uses a laser wavelength that can easily reach deep into the skin and is equipped with a powerful cooling device, it causes almost no damage to the skin surface.

  • Point

    Good at whole body hair removal

    Since it can be completed quickly even over a wide area, there is less burden on the patient, and its high hair removal ability allows hair removal for all types of hair, including facial hair and sensitive areas, as well as body hair removal.

  • Point

    Also suitable for small parts

    If there are areas that are difficult to irradiate using the smooth pulse method, such as areas with severe unevenness or areas that require a design, hair removal can be performed without problems by irradiating one shot at a time.

Precautions before and after hair removal irradiation

  • [Before irradiation]

    avoid sunburn

    Medical laser hair removal reacts to black pigment (melanin).Therefore, if you are sunburned, the laser will react with the melanin pigment in your skin, increasing the risk of burns, so be sure to take sun protection.Depending on the degree of sunburn, hair removal irradiation may not be possible.

  • [Before irradiation]

    don't tweeze

    Medical laser hair removal removes hair by reacting with the melanin pigment in the hair root, so if you remove the entire hair root, the hair removal effect will be lost.Please be sure to shave your hair during your visit to the hospital and before irradiation.

  • [Before irradiation]

    Doesn't irritate

    There may be redness, but it will subside in a few days, so don't worry, but please do not rub it too hard with a nylon towel or body brush when taking a bath.

  • [After irradiation]

    Take measures against UV rays

    After hair removal irradiation, you will be more susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays, so be sure to take sufficient measures against ultraviolet rays even after irradiation.

  • [After irradiation]

    Take a bath with lukewarm water

    Make-up and bathing are possible from the same day.However, if redness remains, avoid bathing in hot water.

  • [After irradiation]

    Moisturize

    After hair removal irradiation, your skin tends to dry out, so please keep your skin moisturized.

*If you notice any other abnormalities on your skin, please consult us immediately.

FAQ

Please tell me the manufacturer and type of laser of the hair removal device you are using.
At our hospital, we use Asclepion's Mediostar NeXT.This is a diode laser hair removal device.The irradiation speed is extremely fast, and there is almost no pain or redness after irradiation, and it is effective even on soft hair and beards, which are difficult to see results.The risk of burns is also reduced.
Do you have any pain?
You won't feel any pain in most areas.You may feel some pain, but it is mild pain.
Is hair removal performed by a doctor?
The treatment will be performed by an experienced female nurse.Please be assured that the treatment will be conducted in a completely private room in consideration of the patient's privacy.
What is the scope of full body hair removal?
All ranges except face and VIO.We also have a menu that includes face and VIO.
How many times do I need to remove hair?
Although there are differences in the hair removal area and individual differences, 4 to 6 irradiation sessions are usually required.Since hair has a hair cycle, all hair will not be removed with one irradiation.In addition, the effect after the permanent hair removal course is approximately 1% or less of the original hair volume.
Is there anything I should be careful about before undergoing laser hair removal?
Please be careful not to get sunburned.
The laser light reacts with melanin in the skin.If you tan before hair removal, your skin will produce a large amount of melanin, making it easier for the energy to be absorbed by the melanin in the epidermis rather than the hair.Doing so may cause burns or reduce the effectiveness of the laser.
Please shave your hair.
Please be sure to shave the treatment area.
Do not tweeze.
If you pull out the hair, you will no longer be able to see the hair removal effect.
Is there anything I should be careful about after receiving laser hair removal?
Please be careful not to get sunburned.
Be careful not to get sunburned, especially for a few days after laser irradiation.Exposure to ultraviolet rays while the skin is red may cause pigmentation.
Do not forcefully pull out the hair.
After about a week, the hair remaining in the pores will start to come out.It will fall off naturally, but if it bothers you, please remove it with tweezers.After laser hair removal, new hair will not grow for about a month.Treatments are performed at approximately two-month intervals due to the hair cycle, but please do not pull out tweezers during that time as this may disrupt the hair cycle.
