3 INNOVATION AND DESIGN Therapeutic devices with the expertise of the dermatologist The skin care with cosmetics and body forming could be more effective by the simultaneous or combined application of electricity, magnetism or light. These electrophysiological solutions can affect the skin-functions on the level of cells, therefore they can alter the body-functions by changing the balance of the building and metabolic processes. As the developments are based on the knowledge of the physiology of the skin and the use of these devices is guided by professionals, it's possible to satisfy esthetical demands of a high degree. Dr Derm, one of the Hungarian manufacturers of electrophysiological devices, has been realizing the most state-of-the-art treatment methods with ergonomically improved devices since its establishment more than ten years ago. By the customers' opinion, the easy handling, the spectacular results and reliable function make it to be market leader. Special attention is given to the international trends, developments are made by the proposal of well-renowned dermatologists, that's why these devices are successful both in the national and the international market. Therapeutic devices with expertise of the dermatologist 3

4 Full-scale conception Dr Derm Equipment offers all basic cosmetic devices - skin-cleaning and disinfecting instruments, vaporizers, equipment that helps the intake of active ingredients, muscle-contraction evoking and vacuum massage devices etc. -, thus a face cabin or a room for body-forming can be equipped at high standards but at a lower cost price than that of the imported devices. The therapeutic devices of Dr Derm Equipment represent the highest standard that meets the demands of European beauticians and the directives of the EU. The development and the production of the equipment harmonize with the strictest definition of the wellness criteria, as well as entirely fulfil the basic criteria worked out by the Hungarian Wellness Society and the Hungarian Tourism Rt. The devices can be bought either separately or in special combinations after defining the treatment objectives (face treatments, body treatments etc.). Beyond the unlimited variation possibilities, the module-sytem mounting of the equipment also fits the need not having to buy all equipment in the same time but buying them one by one, broadening the scope of treatment possibilities in this way. 4

5 Leader role The most significant advantages of Dr Derm devices can't be seen from the outside. Every treatment is controlled by a tiny computer: it sets the most important parameters, supervises the adequate contact between the skin and the handpiece, counts the time spent effectively on the treatment, and at the end of the program makes a warning sound signal. The compact outside shields the complicated mechanical structure from the user, because the constructors' main objectives were the perspicuity and the easy handling. Due to the harmonic appearance of the newly designed foil front cover and the liquid crystal display (LCD), the Dr Derm devices rise above their competitors. The demanding construction, the hard-wearing handpieces and the long life-time made the Dr Derm devices to be famous for their reliability, with which no other equipment of this category could compete. The progresses of the company are to be guidelines for the other players of the market: Dr Derm introduced the first time the CDM contact checking mechanism to make the ultrasound treatments to be safety in 1994, the autopolar, a new type of current making ionthophoresis more effective in 1996, the viosoft automatic eliminating the inconveniences of the high-frequency treatment in 1997, the vacucontrol automatic preventing the burdening of skin during vacuum massage in 1998, the entirely programmable ultrasound device in 2000, the first Hungarian microdermabrasion skin rejuvenation equipment for skin rejuvenation with two compressors in 2003, a handpiece that combines laser and ultrasound in Therapeutic devices with expertise of the dermatologist 5

6 Research and development There is a long way from the first idea till the realization. The designing of each device is preceded by surveying of the beauticians' demands: in addition to defining the treatment objection, we pay attention to the cosmeticians' other requirements as well. The selecting, afterwards the testing of the most appropriate treatment methods, and finally the combination of the treatment programs of the devices are all based on this information. The last phase is the ergonomic and electronic designing with meticulous care. The first prototype will be further developed depending on cosmetic testing paying attention to the medical considerations as well. The series production begins after further evaluations and technical improvements, thus the first buyer of the device will be just as satisfied as the one who buys another piece later on. Our dermatologist specialists support the successful functioning of our devices by testing the effectiveness, and also take part in the further improvement of the instruments. So the dermatologist work-team of Dr Derm equipment took part in the fourth world congress of International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology (IACD) in Paris, in which the results of skin rejuvenation made with the Dermabrasion Professional device were described. In the presentation entitled Surface evaluation of living skin before and after microdermabrasion of photodamaged skin Géza Garay MD and Gábor Varju MD demonstrated the effects of the microdermabrasion with photos taken by microcamera and digital skin analysis. Their presentation describing their results was also selected into the scientific program of the annual meeting of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) held in London in 2005 ( Optical- Photoanalytical Evaluation of the Skin Surface during Microdermabrasion Treatment Course ). We use their scientific results for the product development and for the improvement of the recommended treatment method. 6

7 Ergonomics and shape In the company of the Dr Derm devices you can feel at home from the first moment on. If you throw a glance at the logically grouped controls and at the display, everything will be clear. The drawing of the foil keyboard is clear and easy to understand: due to the conception of device family you can find the same functions in the same place by each device, that's why orientation wouldn't be any problem. The plain surface of the front cover isn't disrupted by anything, because the plugs are on the back side of the device. As a result of this, the oily stains created during the treatment can be easily removed from the continuous surface. If you have never used a Dr Derm device, you will be pleasantly surprised. You can experience a level of effectiveness of the treatments and of operating easiness that is uncommon by the other treatment devices. The Dr Derm devices are refined, obedient and communicative. Your client relaxes quietly and you can feel the effect. Due to the liquid crystal display you know at every time what is happening at the very moment. The Dr Derm devices will be your ideal workmates in the daily work. Do you need some evidence? Just consider if you have any problem that couldn't be resolved with one of the devices!

8 Outstanding results In our success-oriented world the clients expect not only the relaxing of their soul and body but spectacular results, too: smoothing of their wrinkles, tautening of their skin, regaining of its natural tone. Our objective during the cosmetic treatment is to remove the dead horny cells of the epidermis and to introduce the active ingredients adequate to the actual needs of the skin into the upper layers of the skin. Nowadays nobody in this profession disputes that the effectiveness of the treatments can be improved by electro-cosmetic methods. There is only one more question left: How could we achieve the desired results? We bring you moving Due to the exceptional knowledge of our devices you would be a more successful beautician. It could be about stimulating of the lymphatic system, removal of waste materials or increasing the metabolism, the Dr Derm devices will be a real help for you. With the help of the new Dr Derm devices you will spend less time with body treatments and will have more time to really care about your client being able to run your own abilities. microderm 2000 viofrim thermoderm 2000 A.C.N.E.

9 microderm 2000 The blood vessels in the skin surface treated with galvanic current dilate and blood flow is stimulated. Oxygen and nutritional supply to the cells improves, as well as the removal of waste materials and skin functions. Owing to the vasodilating effect, the speed of absorption of active ingredients may be multiplied. As a result of these, the iontophoresis device has been pertaining to the basic devices for decades. Though the use of iontophoresis has been limited by the appearance of ultrasound, but even today, the iontophoresis devices can be applied the more effectively to take in water-soluble, charged ingredients. The new form of current, the so-called autopolar, which: is a modified version of direct current, a special type of current controlled by computer restores the original charge of the cells makes iontophoresis more effective prevents reddening of the skin prevent the shift of ph Iontosoft However, the use of galvanic current has various side effects as well: it causes the migration of ions in the cells, which tilts over the normal equilibrium of ions in the cells and alters their charge, beyond that causes a shift of the skin ph value. With the exception of the fact that we use this effect during the deep-cleaning (desincustration), this is to be seen as a non-desirable side effect of the iontophoresis treatment, exceptionally because these changes influence the intake of active ingredients and cause itching. Another side effect of the use of galvanic current is the stimulation of the nerves responsible for vascular reactions. The blood vessels in treated area dilate, thus skin types prone to reddening (rosacea) must not be treated with galvanic current. Autopolar We have developed a new form of current which keeps the advantages of galvanic current but eliminates its side effects. Therefore the microderm 2000 throws new light upon the cosmetic treatment done with galvanic current. During galvanic treatments with traditional instrument, when the contact between the handpiece electrode and skin is interrupted, the client experiences a mild electric shock. This inconvenience is well-known by the beauty salon-goer clients, thus many people are reluctant to treatments done with current. Our own development, the iontosoft patient protection electronics integrated in the microderm 2000 monitors the contact between the skin and the handpiece, and immediately intervenes if the contact is broken down. When the beautician touches the skin with the electrode again, the device slowly and gradually restores the output to the preset value. Due to these new technical solutions, those clients would come back as well that before have shrunken back from the iontophoresis treatments. microderm

MICROPHORESIS Three-phase treatment, during which the certain phases follow each other automatically. 10

11 Microphoresis After selecting the microphoresis treatment program, the microderm 2000 device carries out a treatment section consisting of three steps. The first phase of the treatment is LYMPHATIC MASSAGE: the handpieces oscillate at a constant speed, and the movements of the electrodes follow the usual directions of lymphatic massage - simultaneously on both cheeks, from the centerline outwards, to the lymph nodes. The fine vibration triggers the lymph flow in the lymphatic vessels of the face and the neck, thus reducing the oedema of the face and the eye region, stimulating the removal of waste materials, therefore the healing of problem skin. The second phase of the treatment is STIMULATING-NUTRITION: we have to set only the polarity according to the type of active ingredient applied during the treatment. The handpieces oscillate at a constant speed and conduct autopolar current into the skin as well. First we apply gel ampoule and moisturising gel on the skin, and then we work these active ingredients entirely into the skin by conducting the handpieces with circular, slow and smoothing movements on the surface of the skin. The third and last phase of the treatment is REFLEX STIMULATION: the handpieces oscillate at a continuously changing speed but don't conduct current to the skin. The electrodes are kept on the reflex points symmetrically on both cheeks for a few seconds. The reflex stimulation stimulates the metabolic processes of the skin and refreshes our client. Technical details The amperage of iontophoresis: 0-10 ma, at steps of 0,2 ma Treatment time: 1-30 minutes, in1 minute steps Dimensions: 230x200x85 mm Weight: 2 kg microderm

12 viofrim The viofrim is a combination of two treatment instruments, which is designed for disinfecting with high frequency current and face cleaning with a circular brush. The high frequency glass tube of the instrument contains rarefied inert gas, which starts ionizing by the effect of high frequency. The ions start glowing upon contacting themselves and the wall of the glass tube. Approaching the glass electrode to the skin, sparks jump to the skin surface. High frequency causes capillaries to dilate, blood supply to improve and the created ozone disinfects. The device is to treat skin with seborrhoea and acne, to adjust the excess function of sebaceous glands, to disinfect after cleaning, to improve blood supply, and to refresh the skin. Technical details: Output power: 5-12 W Dimensions: 230 x 200 x 85 mm Weight: 2 kg 12

13 viosoft The device, which preserves the advantages of high frequency current, offers a unique patient protection. Owing to viosoft the sensation similar to a mild electric shock usual with traditional vio-instruments is now prevented. Amperage increases gradually after the electrode has got in touch with the skin, thus providing a more comfortable treatment for your client. Electrode with a comb The electrode with a comb is effective in the treatment of dandruff and thinning of the hair. The disinfecting effect of the ozone is good for the healing of micro-injuries in the surface of the scalp. The viocomb can be connected both to the minivio and viofrim device. Deep cleaning with circular brush The handpiece with a brush has been designed for wet and dry rubbing of the skin, refreshing massage with brush or deep cleaning. The face brushes with fine hair can easily remove dead, accumulated horny cells and impurities from the skin surface. According to the quality of the material selected for the treatment, we can carry out mechanical peeling with abrasive grains or enzymatic biological peeling. The integrated high-moment motor keeps rotation at a constant speed. Reversible direction of rotation is vital for cleaning sensitive surfaces, e.g. the area around the eyes. The technologically advanced design ensures reliable operation during face and body treatments. 13viofrim

14 thermoderm 2000 Vital processes depending on temperature The metabolism of the skin and muscles depends on temperature: an increase of 1 o C results in 13% increase in the speed of the metabolism. Oxygen consumption of cells is multiplied by 2-3 if the temperature is increased by 10 o C. The skin responses to the fluctuations of temperature through its regulatory mechanisms: blood flow through increases or decreases, the blood vessels dilate, and more sweat is secreted. Changes of temperature are perceived by the quite special antennas of the skin, by the thermoreceptors. The points of cold and hot perception are present in the skin in different numbers: there are 1-5 cold points in an area of 1 cm 2, while the number of hot points is only 1 in an area of 2.5 cm 2. The face skin is the most sensitive area of the whole body in respect of heat-effects: here are cold points in a unit of skin surface. That's why the cold treatment carried out with the thermoderm 2000 device has such a spectacular effect. The heating up of the skin Due to perspiration, superficial thermal therapy results in removal of waste materials from the skin. The thermal effect makes the vessels dilate, thus the blood flow through of the skin is improved, as well as the nutrition of the skin and the removal of waste materials. The dilated pores facilitate the penetration of active ingredients: the emulsions, ointments and serums penetrate more effectively than without the thermal effect. The catalysts of metabolic processes - the enzymes - work with higher intensity at higher temperatures, thus metabolism accelerates and building processes become more emphasized. The collagen and the effect exercised on the flexible fibres make the skin to become more elastic. Heat receptors are active between o C - their maximum sensitivity is somewhere between o C. That's why the temperature of the skin-ironing program of our instrument can be set between o C. 14

15 Thermophoresis The device has been designed to carry out one of the three electro-cosmetic methods for intake of active ingredients, the thermophoresis with heat, thus this is its main function. This method is suitable for the intake of every water or oil-soluble preparation, especially for the dissolution and more uniform spreading on the skin surface of oilier and denser cream masks. This method without direct current effect means a safety alternative in all cases when the patient couldn't be treated with current (pregnancy, pacemaker, afraid of treatments carried out with current), and when the use of ultrasound is contraindicated (for example the treatment of tissues of the breast or over sensitive areas), or when the ultrasound can't penetrate into the treatment products (for example preparations consisting powder). The handpiece is evidently made from such type of material that doesn't get into chemical reactions with the active ingredients, therefore doesn't influence their biological activity. thermoderm

16 Skin-ironing and trap of active ingredients The essence of the most complex treatment program of the device is that in the hot phase (36-44 o C) and in the cold phase (18-25 o C) - using the optimal ranges of temperature for the function of the heat receptors of the skin - can influence the metabolic processes. The heating up is objected to stimulate the metabolism in the skin, the cooling down prevents from this. During the first phase the pores dilate, the active ingredients can penetrate more intensively and more effectively. Due to the full-bloodedness effect, the skin receives more oxygen, that stimulates its metabolism and triggers the removal of waste products. During the second phase of the treatment the pores contract as a result of the cooling down, thus the skin traps the introduced active ingredients. The decrease of the temperature reduces the activity of the enzymes as well, making metabolism to return to its original level, and by the cooling down the reddening of the skin ceases as well. Special heating-cooling handpiece The thermoderm 2000 device treats the skin gently. If the handpiece touches the skin surface, the heat is conducted by the tissues, thus the temperature of the treating area alters. Careful dosing of the heating and cooling effect is ensured by the automatic adjustment of the temperature values programmed in the software of the instrument. The device controls continuously these fluctuations, and sets the intensity of heating or cooling from moment to moment according to it. The cooling down of the skin surface - similar to the function of a fridge - causes formation of heat. Effective cooling and fast changing of temperature can be provoked only if the created heat is conducted away effectively. In the inside of the unique handpiece a tiny fan ensures perfect heat conduction: this costly but safety solution was chosen in order to make the skin-ironing and trap of active ingredients programs to function perfectly and that your hand woldn't be subjected to direct heat effect during the treatment. 16

17 6 treatment programs The programs controlled by the microprocessor choose always the optimal temperature and treatment time. The device makes warning sound signals at the end of cold-hot alterations, and when the current program is completed HEAT Skin-ironing treatment Treatment program that helps the introduction of active ingredients, and has vasolidating effect.

18 A.C.N.E. H.E.L.P. Advanced Comedolytic & Normalizing Effect by Heat, Electricity & Light for Prevention & Treatment of Acne. The acne More than 80% of the world population suffers at least once in a lifetime from the signs of acne. The different types of acne can be treated the most effectively with medicament for internal use or with preparations for external application, and with the combination of these two methods. More and more data have been published in the last years about the dangers of antibiotics used locally: a resistance for antibiotics of the bacteria develops making the further treatments with medicaments unsuccessful. Nowadays a general opinion about various processes of laser and light therapy has been gaining around that mild and middle severe acne can be treated successfully with some treatments without any side effect. 18

19 In the centre: the P. acnes skin surface normal sebum flow The chronic inflammation of the sebaceous gland and the hair follicle belonging to it (the so-called pilosebaceus unit) causes the acne. Under normal circumstances the oily material produced by the sebaceous glands gets to the skin surface along the fine hair present in the hair follicle, and there, by spreading, contributes to the building up of the protective film in the skin surface - the so-called hidrolipid film. epidermis wide opening hair follicle sebaceous gland blood vessels skin surface The acne process begins when a comedo builds up in the common way leading out from the pilosebaceus unit, thus blocking the clearing of sebum. epidermis blocking of sebum flow dermis Thus the sebum gets stuck and the bacterium responsible for the inflammation - the Propioni-bacterium - multiplies in it. sebum overproduction P. acnes colonisation blood vessels The bacterium makes the sebum to become irritating fatty acids, which have a role in the developing of inflammation. Due to different chemotactic factors, leukocytes are gathering together as well, which cause the inflamed infiltration evolving around the sebaceous gland. Finally: Acne develops with comedos, pus blisters and hurting nodules, which lasts for a long time and normally causes scars. skin surface epidermis purulent matter leukocytes inflammation dermis blood vessels 19A.C.N.E. H.E.L.P.

20 Photoinactivation The extirpation of the Propioni-bacterium, which plays the main role in the pathophysiologic process, causes the stopping of the acne process, thus the mitigation of subjective symptoms. Our objective was to introduce an electro-cosmetic method that without the well-known side effects of medicines, with direct or indirect electric effect could reduce the mild form of acne. In order to be able to understand the joint effect of the three different methods used in our new device, we have to learn about the characteristics of the pathogen bacterium before. During its biological activity, as many other creatures, the P. acnes produces porphyrins, a natural group of compounds, which occur in the human organism as well. If the porfirins are exposed to light of a certain wavelength, free-radicals develop, which extirpate the bacterium. The porphyrins can absorb the energy the most effectively in the spectrum of visible blue light (between nm), thus the developing of free-radicals and the extirpation of bacteria can be stimulated the most effectively with this type of light. This means the photoinactivation, which can ruin the multiplying bacteria in the interior of the sebaceous gland - in an area where the cosmetics can't penetrate - with the help of light. 20

21 BRH (Blue-Red-Heat) Handpiece Our development was based on several scientific examinations, during one of these the blue light with low intensity has been found effective in the treatment of mild or middle-severe acne. In this research, the patients involved in it were treated for 15 minutes, twice a week, totally four weeks long. A 60% improvement was observed by the 80% of the subjects, which proved to be long-lasting for 3-8 months. During another research, the blue light was combined with 660nm-wavelength red light, which proved to be significantly more effective in respect to acne on the whole, than the blue light in itself or one of the ingredients of the preparations for external use applied against acne, the benzoyl-peroxid. The more important is the anti-inflammatory effect of the red light, which derives from the fact that this spectrum of light can influence the release of cytokins coming from the macrofags or other cells. The cytokins control the function of the cells of connective tissues and the production of growth factors, thus the red light stimulates the running of the inflammation and healing process. During the light therapy, the treating area that touches the skin is heated up to the preset temperature by a heating cell. Considering the fact that the enzymes work more intensively at higher temperature, we can stimulate the metabolism of the skin cells and the bacteria that cause the inflammation to a higher activity, accelerating the process in this way. During the treatment carried out with the BRH handpiece the inflammation is mitigated, the number of bacteria is reduced, the healing of acne and the regeneration of the skin is accelerated by the effect of the blue and red light and because of the heating up of the cells. The BRH handpiece can be used for stimulating of aging, tired skin, for the regeneration of the fibres of connective tissues, for tightening and rejuvenation as well. We have developed the BRH (Blue-Red-Heat) handpiece basing on these two scientific results, which can radiate simultaneously blue light at the ideal wavelength between nm and the 660 nm-wavelength red light directly to the skin surface, thus can reach a required intensity in the deeper layers of the skin as well. 21A.C.N.E. H.E.L.P.

22 Heated HF handpiece The high-frequency current makes ozone to develop, which extirpates entirely the causative agents in the surface of the skin and the area near to the surface of the way out of the sebaceous gland. The heated HF handpiece helps loosening the comedos, and contracting the pores after cleaning, in addition prevents from infection of the micro-injuries created in the surface of the skin. HSR -probe (Heat Shock Response treating probe) The sudden heating up makes special proteins of the genetic stock of the P. acnes bacteria multiplying in the sebaceous glands to be transferred. These are the so-called heat shock proteins, which finally cause the self-destruction of the bacteria. The HSR-probe should be hold on the pustule to be treated for a short while, and during this time conducts such a high temperature into the skin that triggers the developing of proteins, thus the destruction of causative agents. The heat-conduction occurs by impulses to prevent from the damaging of the surrounding tissues. The HSR treatment programs of the device feed automatically the required quantity of heat, and each time there is a sound effect that warns the user to change to treatment of another pustule. 22

24 DERMABRASION Professional DERMABRASION Digital Timeless time Though it isn't easy to put the clock back, we attempt to do it. During the last years it has been proved with profound medical researches that the recurring intra-epidermical injury caused by microdermabrasion provokes gradually improvement in the condition of the skin by stimulating of the proliferation of fibroblasts and the production of collagen. Rajan and his workmates, Lee and his team, and Song and his colleagues published various studies in renowned dermatological journals during the last few years that had proved the intensive effects of microdermabrasion. These objective evidences are the basis of our developments. Sand in the wind Microdermabrasion utilises the cleaning, improving skin breathing and regenerating effects of controlled mechanical peeling in repairing the imperfections of the skin. The essence of the treatment is that a special handpiece makes aluminium-oxide crystals to flow above the skin with the help of vacuum or compressed air, and they carry the dead horny cells away. Used crystals with the impurities together are returned into the device through a pipe, and are collected in a tank. As an effect of the treatment, minor imperfections of the skin go through visible changes: reduced depth of wrinkles and smoother skin surface. 24

25 Without wrinkles Microdermabrasion rubs off the thicken skin around the wrinkles and stimulates the tissues in the heart of the wrinkles, reducing the depth of aesthetically disadvantageous lines and the irregularities of the skin surface in this way. The SENSITIVE treatment program of the dermabrasion device can treat the superficial lines and wrinkles with the meanest damaging of the skin. The integrated VACUCONTROL automatics maintains the sucking power at a constant level, thus reddening, haemorrhage and other permanent abnormalities may be prevented during the treatment. The DEEP LINES treatment program has been designed for the intensive treatment of deeper wrinkles: this program has the most successful rejuvenation effect. Unique results could be achieved with the application of the Arcelox products with botox-effect or the Caviar treatment line from Jean d'arcel. Spectacular rejuvenation could be carried out with the gentle, marine-originated AHA products and the new Enzymarine mask from Thal'ion. Deserves love The Dermabrasion Digital abounds in the newest technical developments: it is full-scale programmable and controlled with push-buttons, has automatic cleaning and anti-blockage system, and an ultrasound module can be integrated in it. The entirely digital control makes the use of the device to be really safety, reducing the possibilities of failed function to a minimum level. Dermabrasion Digital seems to be like a new family car: fascinating design, reliable function comfortable and safety use. Dermabrasion Professional & Digital 25

26 Drunk with success Our high-tech device, the Dermabrasion Professional has been designed for those demanding specialists that aren't willing to make compromises. This digitally controlled device with two compressors is unique in its category, makes possible to control separately the flow of crystals and the vacuum, thus it is adequate to treat even the most sensitive skin as well. We have a plenty of satisfied partners because of the auto cleaning system providing continuous function and the pre-heating of crystals preventing the crystals from getting stuck together. In addition to the lots of services, the aperture for the filling and removal of crystals counts only as a little courtesy, with which you could save money and time even in the busiest beauty salons. Laser, ultrasound, microdermabrasion The bio-stimulation with laser fills up the energy reservoirs of the tired, aging skin, thus preparing the fissiparous cells to replace those of the skin surface rubbed off with microdermabrasion in the shortest time possible. The laser stimulates significantly the quick healing of the damaged skin surface and the fast reducing of oedema created during the treatment. Due to the laser, the aging skin reacts to the superficial injuries caused by microdermabrasion as a young skin able to regenerate quickly. This completes the regenerating process triggered by microdermabrasion. The threefold effect of the laser therapy holds out complex advantageous for skin with acne: the biostimulation helps the scars to heal and the waste materials to remove; the pain-relieving effect reduces the subjective inconveniences, and the anti-inflammatory effect is beneficial for the inflamed nodules evolving during that the acne is present. The ultrasound used simultaneously improves the regeneration of collagen fibres, thus helps healing without scars. The ultrasound looses up the comedos, therefore makes the cleaning of the skin to be easier, and increases the absorption ability of the skin, thus makes the active ingredients applied during the treatment to penetrate deeper. As a result of these facts, the synergy of laser and ultrasound has such beneficial effects that haven't been experienced till now and results in the spectacular improvement in the condition of skin with acne. 26

28 sonoderm device family The ultrasound penetrates several millimetres into the skin, and delivers its effect there. Enhances the absorption of active ingredients by loosening the horn layer on the skin surface. The blood vessels dilate, the permeability of cell membrane increases, as well as metabolism and lymph flow, and the inflammation subsides. Ultrasound stimulates the collagen metabolism and fibroblasts, the removal of waste materials, the diffusion processes and the blood circulation. Ultrasound has a favourable effect on the structure of the epidermis, the tension of the fibres of connective tissues, the muscle tone and the ATP-activity of the cells. CDM During the ultrasound treatment a contact agent (e.g. a gel) provides the free way of the waves between the handpiece and the skin. Dr Derm ultrasound devices are equipped with a contact checking mechanism, which gives a warning beef if contact between the handpiece and the skin is interrupted. This is the so-called CDM automatics, which controls the penetration of ultrasound into the skin and prevents the handpiece from heating up. The device gives a warning sound signal as well when the treatment material isn't the suitable quality and hinders the penetration of ultrasound, for example contains a lot of powder material, air-bubbles or not enough small vegetable parts, because these don't conduct the vibration of ultrasound. With the CDM -automatics the ultrasound treatment always can be carried out with outstanding effectiveness and results. 28

29 Real treatment time counter Owing to its contact checking mechanism, the Dr Derm ultrasound devices only measure the time really spent on treatment. This advanced technological solution guarantees the efficiency of the treatment and the introduction of necessary doses of active ingredients. Due to the real treatment time counter, the effects carried out on the skin, for example the stimulation of the introduction of active ingredients or the filling of the energy reservoirs of the cells will be more effective, than during those treatments that are carried out with devices that don't have any contact checking mechanism. Pulse mode of operation Due to its thermal effect, continuous ultrasound heats up the tissues, that has various positive effects. During long treatment periods or when deeper layers should be treated, may be uncomfortable. By properly selecting the modulation value, deeper layers may also be treated without heating up of the handpiece or the skin. 50% pulse mode: Moderate thermal effect More significant chemical effect Micromassage effect Optimal for introducing active ingredients 20% pulse mode: Strong vibration (massage) effect Moderate thermal effect Optimal for treating deeper layers of the skin sonoderm device family 29

30 Fountain effect If the handpiece is turned upwards and water is poured on its surface that touches the skin, the ultrasound makes the water-molecules to move and a special effect may be observed. This is the so-called fountain effect, with which the mechanical effect of ultrasound can be demonstrated. If the handpiece emits ultrasound continuously, the sparkling and evaporation (cold vapour) of water should be observed in the whole surface of the handpiece. In the case of a device with CDM -automatics, the effect of ultrasound may be observed only when there is enough water poured on the surface. The reason for this is that the device perceives the conduction of ultrasound in the treating area, and works with the preset power only when this conduction is perfect. Through the fountain effect the proper function of the crystal can be controlled as well. By devices the handpiece of which doesn't work adequately, the water is heated up quickly or there isn't any sparkling produced. Our laser-ultrasound handpiece emits the light only if there is a perfect contact between the treating area and the skin, ensuring a safety treatment in this way. If water is poured onto the treating surface, by triggering the fountain effect the light sources are lit as well.* * We should take care and wear protective eyewear. Small handpiece The small handpiece facilitates to perform an optimal output necessary for treating the face skin. Because of the ergonomically perfected shape and weight-distribution of the handpiece, every part of the face can be reached easily without skating over the minor details. The ultrasound emitted by the small handpiece has a minor penetration depth, considering the sensitive structure of the skin in the face and in the neckline. 30

33 sonoderm 2000 body&face Our ultrasound device could be bought with 14 treatment programs and two handpieces as well: it could meet all the demands of your salon already from the beginning. The programs offer treatment possibilities both for face and body treatments. After selecting the required treatment program, the device sets automatically the proper parameters, thus you can spend all your time on the client. However, you can change the treating values as you please, and there is a chance to store and load in two programs made on your own. Treatment programs The sonoderm 2000 body & face device has all the six treatment programs for face belonging to the small handpiece of sonoderm face and the eight automatic treatment programs for body related to the large handpiece of sonoderm body (see these in the previous pages). Large handpiece The large handpiece facilitates the output of optimal performance required for body treatments, thus we can work with high intensity on the body.

34 sonoderm XXL Laser-ultrasonic handpiece The R&D group of Dr Derm devices had decided to design a revolutionary new handpiece. As a result of a long designing work, an ultrasound handpiece has been designed, which is combined with red-coloured phototherapy semiconductors and an optical source of light with laser. The instrument, which can be used for face and body treatments as well, has inherited all the advantages of our ultrasound devices. The handpiece controls continuously the contact with the skin, and allows to emit the ultrasound only if the whole treating area touches the skin. It controls the quality of the products applied on the skin as well, and when there is a treating material that the ultrasound can't go through, makes a warning sound signal. The Continuous Dosis Monitoring (CDM ) developed by us makes even the operation of the source of laser light to be safety, as it lightens only if there is a perfect contact between the handpiece and the skin. The pre-programmed treatments make unnecessary the setting of the different treating parameters, thus after selecting the name of the required program, the device carries out automatically even the rejuvenation with ultrasound and laser that would seem to be really complicated. 34

35 Triple effect The soft lasers have triple biological effect: bio-stimulation of the skin cells, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory effect. The bio-stimulation with laser results in faster replacing of the cells of the epidermis by shortening the duration of the cell-cycle. Increases the level of ATP, the energy-reserving compound of the cells, thus ensures energy reserves for the metabolic processes. It stimulates the ionization of the liquids in- and outside of the cells, causing bio-polarization in this way, which improves the replacement of the cells, the refreshing of the epidermis. All these result in faster healing process and reducing of oedema, after all improving the arterio-venosus and the lymphatic micro-circulation. The pain-relieving effect is based first of all on the stimulation of formation of endogen analgesic (endorphin). The anti-inflammatory effect is due to the fact that the laser intervenes in the process of the synthesis of prostaglands, which play a main role in the formation of inflammation, blocking it through an enzyme. Wrinkles and pimples The bio-stimulation with laser fills up the energy reservoirs of the tired, aging skin, stimulating the regeneration of the skin surface in this way. The laser improves significantly the regeneration of the skin surface, and the quick reduction of oedema or skin reddening created during the cosmetic treatments. The threefold effect of the laser therapy holds out complex advantageous for skin with acne: the bio-stimulation helps the scars to heal and the waste materials to remove; the pain-relieving effect reduces the subjective inconveniences, and the anti-inflammatory effect is beneficial for the inflamed nodules evolving during that the acne is present. The simultaneously used ultrasound improves the regeneration of collagen fibres, thus helps the healing without scars. Makes the face cleaning to be easier by loosening up the comedos, in addition, by increasing the absorption ability of the skin, helps the active ingredients applied on the skin during the treatment to penetrate more effectively. As a result of these facts, the synergy of laser and ultrasound has such beneficial effects that haven't been experienced till now and results in the spectacular improvement of the condition of skin with acne. sonoderm XXL 35

39 Sono-CoolAir the new ultrasonic handpiece for body treatments It's an old observation that lypolsis during body treatments is the most effective if the handpiece heats up the tissues through the continuous emission of ultrasound, thus improving the release of lipids accumulated in the fatty cells. The only difficulty is that as an effect of continuous ultrasound not only the deeper layers of the skin but its surface is heated up as well, thus could cause uncomfortable sensation of heat, maybe undesirable damaging of the epidermis. In order to prevent from this, the ultrasound had been made fractional till now, certainly reducing the effectiveness of the treatment by this. We have been working on the development of ultrasound devices for more than ten years now, and in addition to improve the effectiveness, we have been working continuously to increase the patient protection and the comfort of the treatment. The automatic treatment programs, the CDM contact checking mechanism and the Real treatment time counter work for achieving these objectives. During the R&D period of the new sonoderm XXL device we looked for a technical solution that could prevent from the excess heating up of the epidermis when deeper layers of the skin were treated with high intensity. The sonoderm XXL treats the skin in a really gentle manner, as cools actively the epidermis during the ultrasound treatment. The device controls continuously the temperature of the treating area, and changes the intensity of cooling from moment to moment according to this. The cooling down of the skin surface causes the formation of heat - similar to the function of a fridge. The skin surface could be cooled down effectively only if the created heat is conducted. In the inside of the Sono-CoolAir handpiece a tiny fan ensures perfect heat conduction, thus the skin can be prevented from damaging even at higher ultrasound performance. sonoderm XXL 39

42 celluloderm 2000 Traditions The celluloderm, the body shaping and face lifting instrument of Dr Derm device family with unique characteristics, was designed more than a decade ago. The larger and larger need for body treatments and the favourable experiences achieved with the device had forced us to continue to develop this instrument already used in more hundreds beauty salons all over the world. The renewed exterior hides a new interior During the further development of the celluloderm device we set three objectives: the improvement of effectiveness, the more extensive applicability and unaltered dimensions. We have reached the improvement of effectiveness through the doubling of the number of channels (4 channels, 16 electrodes) and the increase of the performance by almost a 50%. We offer a more extensive applicability of the device through the new treatment programs, and the new type of electrodes for the face and body. We have considered the unaltered dimensions to be important because of the conception of device family: thus the celluloderm -4 RC muscle stimulator and body shaper instrument with computer could be fitted into the mounting for our devices as well. 42

43 Stimulating current and interference current Stimulating currents are those current forms, which cause the muscles to contract - holds the old definition. The temporally interrupted direct current with a frequency between Hz really evokes a muscle contraction. However, the skin resistance to low frequency currents is very high, and the current also stimulates the receptors of pain, which restricts efficiency. The more intensive current you conduct into the skin through the electrodes, the more effective muscle contractions you can evoke - and the more uncomfortable sensation, however. Currents in the middle frequency range (e.g. over 1000 Hz) penetrate into the skin more easily, thus they got to the focus of attention. If two currents of different frequency (e.g 3950 Hz and 4000 Hz) are directed to a given area so that they are crossing each other, then a resulting vibration of 50 Hz appears, accompanied by its characteristic physiological effects. Versatility and effectiveness Additional ones complete the musclestrengthening effect: the current stimulates metabolism and has a positive influence on the function of other tissues as well. A typical example is the effect made through the LDL-receptors on fat metabolism: the interference current inhibits the cholesterol transport in the cells, reducing the accumulation of fat inside the cell, which finally leads to loss of excess fat. Sympathetic stimulation causes the release of free fatty acids in the subcutaneous region, which also has a lypolitic effect. Electrical stimulation affects blood flow and lymph flow as well, and reduces oedema. Owing to its effect on keratinocytes, it enhances the maturation of cells, thus stimulates skin regeneration. The end result is a thinner fatty tissue, better muscle tone and more flexible skin. The result is phenomenal: the efficiency of interference current surpasses that of the traditional stimulating current. celluloderm

44 Pleasant flow By using the new device we can forget the misbelieve that efficient body shaping would require powerful electric and a jungle of wires. Unlike traditional instruments using stimulating current, this new idevice doesn't cause reddening of the skin under the electrodes; there is no sensation of electrical effect even during longer treatment sessions. The principle of treatment with the celluloderm RC device, which is based on the physiological effects of interference current, would convince every user. There is neither sudden contraction of muscles in the treated area nor reddening of the skin under the electrodes, and we don't have to sacrifice the effectiveness for painlessness, either. The interference current doesn't cause powerful reactions of vessels and doesn't stimulate the receptors of pain, either, thus we shouldn't be afraid of inconveniences. Computer control The client wants maximum efficiency. The beautician, however, wants exciting treatments alloying her/his manual skills with her/his radiation from inside, and also a perfect utilisation of the treatment time. Thus, every minute spent with the body shaping instrument seems to be a waste of time It would be the best to leave alone the client, who wants to loose weight, and let an automatic instrument deal with her/him. This is exactly what you can do with the celluloderm RC device: the integrated microcomputer really controls each treatment parameter, and makes the necessary settings automatically. Treatment programs The device uses the oscillation number that best suits to the given treatment objective, thus separate treatment programs are available for enhancing lymph flow (LYMPH DRAIN), strengthening the muscles without exercise (MUSCLE PLUS), reducing the mass of fat tissue, and removal of obstinate excess fat (FAT LOSS, LYPOLISIS), reducing the inconvenient symptoms of cellulite (CELLULITE), body shaping after child birth (POST PARTUM), or further body shaping in addition to sport activity (BODY FORM, FITNESS). Treatment of the face and neck is assisted by face lifting and double chin reducing programs. 44

45 Wellness The wellness, the overall conception of health and beauty of our time, prefers the electro-cosmetic treatment without direct effect of electricity. However, in the unanimous opinion of the specialists, the interference current, which penetrates painless into the skin, makes a unique exception. That's why we have developed the WELLNESS program, which makes the world of wellness to be perfect by relaxing, but in the level of cells stimulating forms of oscillation. Remote control of intensity Body shaping treatment with electric current has an interesting feature, which can't even be eliminated by automation - i.e. computer control. The tissues of the treated area get accustomed to the treating current, so amperage must be adjusted - depending on individual characteristics of the client - from time to time. At this point the beautician - interrupting her/his work at another treating bed - hurries to the client being treated with the device. Technical details: Output amperage: by channels 0-60 maeff (in 1 ma steps) Treatment time: 1-50 minutes (in 1 minute steps) Dimensions: 230 x 200 x 85 mm Weight: 3 kg Maybe experienced client is asked to press the appropriate buttons of the device (though this isn't easy if the device is out of reach of the client). The remote control of intensity developed for the celluloderm RC device solves this problem. With the help of the unit placed in the client's hand, the intensity of the current of the four channels may be adjusted separately, depending of the sensation of comfort. Treatment may be temporarily suspended by pressing the SAFETY STOP button: the availability of an emergency stop will thus surely lay the client's fears, if any. celluloderm

46 vacuflex 2000 The lymph is a fluid located in the intercellular space, which consists of the fluid being secreted in the arterious side of capillaries and the waste material created during the metabolism of cells. Thus the lymph is in direct contact with the cells and the blood vessels. Any chemical or biological change of the organism will affect lymphatic production and the composition of the intercellular fluid. The lymph is collected in the lymphatic vessels, and filtered by the lymphatic glands located along the lymph routes as a filter system, thus cleaning it of harmful substances. Improper nutrition, excess uptake of fat and carbohydrates, smoking, or drinking coffee, and use of oral contraceptives influence the work of the lymphatic system - due to the growth of fatty cells, damage to lymphatic vessels, and depositing of waste materials. As a result, many ladies may expect the appearance of the cellulite problem and striae, which represent marked aesthetic imperfection. Vacuum massage After analyzing these pathological processes of the cellulite problem, the doctors, natural therapists and engineers involved in developing our treatment devices, developed a treatment method that helps eliminate not only mild, but even more severe forms of the cellulite problem. The beneficial full-bloodedness caused by vacuum enhances metabolism and improves the removal of waste materials. Owing to the tensile effect of vacuum, the membrane of many fatty cells becomes permeable, the flat flows out through it, and gets into the lymph flow. The vacuum activates the cells of the connective tissue, which produce flexible fibres, thus the skin also becomes more stretched. As a result of the special massaging movements carried out with the help of the vacuum, the speed of lymph flow may be multiplied by 50 even. Thus the arising waste materials (metabolites / catabolites) may be removed through the most natural route possible. With the help of vacuum you may achieve a complete refreshment of the body, which goes beyond the result of a simple massage treatment. Applying carefully selected active ingredients, you can further increase this effect, and using it in combination with other methods (e.g. ultrasound, interference current or iontophoresis), you can determine a complete body care program. 46

47 The reflex therapy and stimulation with aromatic oils The beneficial effects of vacuum are well known for thousands years, according to the finds from Mesopotamia, the people of that time already used it in 3000 B.C. The glass accessory placed on the skin - if the air is sucked out from them - can influence the functions of the internal organs through the remote effect of the meridian and reflex points by the vacuum effect. The stimuli may alter the organism through the vegetative regulation, and may increase its adaptation capability. With the help of the automatic massage programs of the vacuflex device - using 2, 4 or 6 glass accessories - we can stimulate simultaneously the reflex points. Beyond these, we can also carry out a massage on the palm or the sole with the handpieces. By placing the glass tubes on the proper area we can achieve a pleasant muscle relaxing in order to relax the tensed, inflexible muscles. The treatments could be combined with the stimulating and soothing aromatic oils, with which the different therapies could be made even more efficient. The cupping accessories can be placed on the back after a massage with essential oils. We can apply prepared, made depending on the individual characteristics or freshly made - with strengthening, soothing or drainage effect - combinations of oils.

56 Hyperhidrosis device Hyperhydrosis is a state with excessive perspiration originating from the increased excitement of the sympathetic nervous system, the disease may involve the whole body surface, but symptoms occur on hands and feet more frequently. Hyperhydrosis, beyond that causes difficulties in the daily life and work, could trigger various dermatologic diseases (e.g. eczema on hand, infections caused by virus or mycosis). There are various effective therapies, with which symptoms of the disease can be treated. Of these, tap water iontophoresis with galvanic current is one of the cheapest and most effective methods, and which, after local anti-perspirant agents, it is the first among therapies to be applied *. *Mark D. Anliker, Oliver P. Kreyden: Tap Water Iontophoresis, in: Kreyden, Böni, Burg: Hyperhydrosis and Botulinum Toxin in Dermatology, Karger, The treatment of hand and foot hyperhydrosis During treatment, the electrophysiological effects of galvanic current on skin are applied. Two active electrodes become connected to the body, which are located in separate tanks filled with water. During treatment, the therapeutic current migrates from one electrode to the direction of the other. The most obvious explanation for the effect is that chlorine ions in tap water decrease the production of perspiration in the perspiratory glands. The results of the treatment vary with each person treated. Hyperhidrosis device from Dr Derm By analysing the physiological effects of tap water iontophoresis, the Dr Derm company developed a device, with the use of which treatments can be implemented in the simplest way for each patient, either at the outpatient clinic or at home. The plastic casing of the Hyperhidrosis therapeutic device contains two separated water tanks, which are for treatment of the two hands or two feet. After filling up the device with tap water and putting it into operation, it operates for 10 minutes automatically. After switching it on, you only have to set current intensity to the required value and correct it according to the individual current sensation. 56

57 Complete patient protection during treatment If hands or feet are touched to water being in the water tanks of the Dr Derm Hyperhidrosis device, the device sets the intensity slowly and indulgently to the preset values, thus no inconveniences should be feared. Treatment frequency In the first phase of treatment, 3-5 treatments of minutes per occasion are recommended weekly. In order to achieve long-lasting results, regular treatments are needed, which temporarily can be interrupted. Hyperhidrosis 57
