Editor's note: In October 2005, the president of Medicam called to tell me they were no longer selling the devices described below. Devices made by Global Electrolysis Supply and Centre Biotewchnique Avance should be avoided by all consumers.

Why do you post such lies on the net. I personnaly contacted Medicam after what you wrote and they explained that tHe fact that the name artradex appeared is because they just got a new telephone number that belonged to a previous company named artradex. You can check it , they have a 1-888 number. Be very careful. It is a very serious company and as far as i know, they never had any complain from anyone. As a proof, check their return policy! they don't have any because they don't want to fool anyone. Their policy is based on truth and good faith. The only guarantee that they propose is an upgrade in the 1st 60 days. Their customer service is by far the best on the net with a call response time within 15 minutes during work days but you will always talk to someone. They have laser technicians, technical department, sales support, customer service, etc... Do you really think that they can afford selling with 25% discount beeing global themselves. When did you ever see Global giving any discount? It is an incorporated company in Canada. Stop these lies or misjugements now please Andrea, you are not beeing fair with this comapny. I'm one of their customer and i've never delt with such professionals. The day i bought my machines, the 1st thing they told me is that it'll take more time with their machines (12-14 sessions instead of 8-10) because they are not as strong as $100,000.00 ones and not to expect miracles. Call their 1-888 number and see who you are dealing with. You are not fair.
Thank you
Kim

Yes medicamerica and probably more. Just ask yourself one simple question...how come you never wrote on them before? Just because it is another company! update your files Andrea and do not accuse them of something they are not! it is a Canadian based incorporated company. The unique owner, president and CEO is Mr Phil Amar. Be serious and check over the net the name: Medicam Inc in the Canadian government files! STOP ACCUSING THEM!
Thank you and if you are a real pro what we believe, you'll realise your mistake and will post public excuses or remove your false allegations before it is too late. Hairtell is a serious forum available to all so please be fair.
Kim

I just got a call from someone claiming to be the owner of Medicam at 514 994-2627. He told me they are not related to Global Electrolysis Supply but sell the same devices. He threatened various legal action. I told him to send me a list of what he considered inaccurate information on this site by email, and he refused. I told him to have his lawyer contact me, and I will report on the contents of that letter when (or if) I get it.

In the meantime, all consumers should avoid purchasing any products from Medicam. These devices are not cleared by FDA and have been on the market for many years. They are low power lasers, like the kind they use for laser pointers. There are many complaints about the devices they are selling.

WOW! I think that now you should be ready for legal action! Post someone's personnal phone number online when he could have hidden it! Either you are out of your mind or you have a lot of money to spend. "What he considers inaccurate"? "the new name for Global ...." that is inaccurate" his personal phone number! that is inaccurate. Good luck. I will contact him directly after posting this message.

Just to get all their information in one place:

Medicam, Inc.
5285 Queen-Mary, Montreal (Quebec), H3W 1Y3
514-737-0404
888-656-0606
514 737-0931 fax

http://www.medicam.ca
http://www.medicamerica.com

According to Medicam, "in 1998 Centre Biotechnique Avance was acquired by a private multi-national investment firm with global e-commerce marketing experience. [...] In 2005 CBA decided to build a strong partnership with MEDICAM, a Canadian company. "

Centre Biotechnique Avance (CBA) has been discussed at length on this site.

Like other dubious hair removal products, Medicam offers distributorships as part of a multilevel marketing scheme.

The devices they sell are branded Quazar and apparently originate in the UK.

I should point out that kim_p's email address is admin@medicam.ca, which explains why she is so excited about this product. It's sold by her employer.
