Photorejuvenation
Therapy using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is presently
considered the ultimate skin refining method, primarily
due to its dramatic results, long-lasting effectiveness,
convenience, and ability to least invasively and simultaneously
address a variety of concerns (e.g., photo-damage, birthmarks,
acne scars, and hair removal). IPL sends pulses of light
through a flat glass handpiece to remove the most superficial
layer of skin, reaching beneath the surface to virtually
‘erase’ your facial flaws, and stimulate
increased collagen in the deeper skin layers. This FDA-approved
procedure provides a series of personalized treatments
until the desired result is gradually achieved. |
| RejuveLux™ IPL Photofacials |
RejuveLux™
intense pulsed light (IPL) systems are unparalleled
in improving skin tone and texture, more safely, more
comfortably and in far less time than traditional
lasers—up to ten times faster.
Compared to typical laser treatments, RejuveLux™
IPL covers a larger surface area with longer light
waves and an innovative protective cooling device,
which ensures more effective pigment removal without
the risk of burning. The procedure takes only minutes
to stimulate skin collagen, reduce fine lines, rosacea,
acne scarring, and age spots—all without any
downtime for recovery.
A series of six (6) RejuveLux™ IPL treatments
are usually recommended for optimal results and maintenance
treatments may be suggested. Each patient is different
and treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis.
• Range of Treatment:
• Premature aging
• Sun damage
• Edema / Rosacea (excessive redness)
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven texture
• Fine lines / wrinkles
• Loss of skin tone

| MediLux™ IPL Hair Removal |
MediLux™
intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal technology
provides an excellent alternative to waxing and shaving
for all skin and hair types. MediLux™ IPL allows
selective light concentration directly to the hair
follicle to effectively remove unwanted hair while
leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
This procedure is simple, comfortable, and can be
performed on any area of the face or body. Each procedure
takes 15 to 30 minutes with zero recovery time. Treatment
plans are individually tailored based on the client’s
situation, but usually a series of six (6) MediLux™
IPL treatments are suggested to ensure long-term effects
relative to the hair growth cycle.
A description of the hair growth cycle is provided
below to assist you in better understanding and appreciating
the necessity of a treatment series.
Range of Treatment:
Face (all areas except eyebrows)
Arms
Chest
Underarms
Back
Bikini
Legs
Hair
growth occurs in three distinct phases:
1) anagen, 2) catagen, and 3) telogen.
The cycle starts with the anagen stage where the hair
actively grows over several months; the length of
this stage determines the length of the hair. Hair
follicles then enter the catagen regression phase
where the hair bulb begins to shrink. The telogen,
or resting phase, lasts for a few months until the
hair is released from the shriveled follicle and the
process starts over again.
By initiating a series of six (6) MediLux™ IPL
treatments, we can best ensure every follicle is contacted
during each hair growth phase—resulting in the
most effective outcome.
Though MediLux™ IPL hair removal is considered
permanent after the sixth treatment, hormonal changes
occur with age and can sometimes reestablish growth
in previously eliminated hair or cause new hair to
grow in areas where it was not formerly evident. In
these instances, MediLux™ IPL may be repeated
as a ‘touch-up’ treatment.
