Remove red,
white, blonde or grey hair with Meladine & laser/IPL treatment.
What is Meladine and how does it work?
Meladine is the only product in the world that has proven to enhance the
effects of hair removal lasers on non-pigmented
hair, white or blonde hair. Meladine simply deposits natural melanin into
the hair follicle which aids the laser in targeting the hair follicle for
removal.
How long has Meladine been on the market?
Meladine has been
sold on the laser/IPL hair removal market since November of 2001 and continues
to receive exciting results from doctors and laser/IPL hair removal centres
worldwide.
Is Meladine a drug? Does it require a
prescription?
No. Meladine is
considered a topical cosmetic/preparation. Meladine’s™ ingredients are natural,
non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin.
When do you apply Meladine
Meladine must be applied prior to each laser treatment because the melanin
deposit in the hair follicle is only temporary. Meladine is only effective on
the hairs that are in anagen (growth) stage as these are the only hairs that
will be affected by the IPL/laser
How long must Meladine be applied before each
laser treatment?
Vellus (Fine) hair will require a minimum of 2 weeks of application prior to
each laser treatment and coarse hair will require 6 weeks of application prior
to each laser treatment.
Why is the application regimen so different
between vellus and coarse hair?
While soft, porous, vellus (fine) hair seems to easily absorb the melanin
liposomes, thick, coarse hair absorbs the liposomes at a lower rate. The
different regimens exist to compensate for the different texture, and different
absorption rates, of the hair.
How often must Meladine be applied?
Medadine needs to applied for 2 – 6 weeks prior to your IPL/laser treatment
depending on hair thickness. People with coarse hair have higher rates of
success when they use Meladine for the suggested 6 week regimen. Meladine must
be applied 6 times morning and night to achieve best results.
Can Meladine be used on red hair?
Yes. Meladine may be used to treat any type of hair that does not respond to
laser treatment alone, including red hair, “strawberry” blonde hair, light
brown vellus, etc. Remember that Meladine increases the pigment in any hair
that it is applied to. For optimal results, assess the texture of the hair
(coarse or vellus) and chose the application regimen based on the texture of
the hair. For example, coarse red hair will require a 6 week regimen.
Does Meladine stain the skin?
No. Meladine is selectively deposited into the hair follicle and does not
absorb into the surrounding epidermis.
Will the hair change color?
No. The proprietary liposomes, which are actually sub-microscopic spheres, are
small enough to effectively penetrate the hair shaft and follicle to
provide a target for a laser or IPL, but not large enough to discolor the hair.
Is daily shaving absolutely necessary?
It is recommended that the area be shaved daily for optimal absorption. If the
hair grows very slowly, daily shaving may not be necessary. If a patient is
very hesitant to shave, an alternative is closely clipping the hair each day.
Will shaving change the color and the texture
of the hair?
No. It has been shown that shaving does not change the nature of the hair.
Shaving removes the topical hair from the surface of the skin—it does not
affect the follicle or the bodily functions that dictate the nature of the
hair. Variables that contribute to the change in color and texture of hair
include, hormones, excessive weight gain, age, etc.
