LIGHTWAVE™ stimulates collagen and elastin production and tissue repair which can reduce and even reverse the effects of aging and damage to skin and other bodily tissues. This treatment is great for acne, acne scaring, anti-aging.
LIGHTWAVE™ activates the cellular renewal process, while restoring and protecting the surface of the skin, resulting in a significant and yet completely natural looking cosmetic enhancement. The effectiveness of using red and infrared light therapy to stimulate rejuvenation in damaged tissues.
LIGHTWAVE™ offers advanced cosmetic rejuvenation utilizing both Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, treatments are completely non-invasive and do not produce any thermal damage or pain. Treatments times vary in duration depending on the needs of the individual client. However, treatments are generally perceived as pleasant and relaxing.
People can see noticeable changes in 6-8 treatments and sometimes in as few as 2 or 3 treatments.
LIGHTWAVE™ is usually administered twice to three times per week and works best with a peel.
The LIGHTWAVE™ treatment is a gentle and natural procedure much like the process of photosynthesis, also known as photo biostimulation (“...the stimulation of life processes with light…”). The LIGHTWAVE™ system uses both visible red and infrared light energy to stimulate your body’s own regenerative metabolism at the cellular level. By stimulating the body’s tissues to convert light energy into cellular energy (ATP), a LIGHTWAVE™ treatment provides the energy your cells can use to:
- accelerate the production of collagen and elastin
- increase cellular permeability, allowing for increased cellular nutrient intake
- increase the removal of excess fluid and waste products from the cells
- increase the production of macrophage (scavenger) cells for the removal of toxins/excess pigment/scar tissue
- increase lymphatic drainage
- increase vascularization (blood flow) to the surface of the skin
Light therapy for acne?
LIGHTWAVE™ blue light therapy is the process of exposing acne prone skin to a specific wavelength and dose of blue light in order to diminish the presence of acne-causing bacteria and oil. The skin is then exposed to a specific wavelength and dose of red light that aids in healing and repairing as well as significantly reducing skin inflammation.
