MeDioStar NeXT Program
MeDioStar NeXT
It is a medical device used for removing unwanted hair, treating acne, healing spider veins and brightening the skin. It is powered by a high power diode laser to produce laser waves with wavelengths between 810 and 940 nm from a safe MedioStar NeXT operated by professional physicians.
Principle
The laser beam with wavelength range between 810 and 940 nm performs on a specific target e.g. melanin, erythrocyte (HbO2: Oxyhemoglobin), and water, without disturbing surrounding tissues.
Moreover, the device has Taper Technology, copyrighted by Asclepion, which helps delivering a laser beam that is evenly distributed across the cross-sectional area (Flat Top) without any hot spots and reducing the incidence of side effects. It also has a cooling system, metal probe, and temperature monitoring system, and it keeps the cooling system running consistently. Thus, it protects the skin throughout the treatment.
