Photo Light Therapy

 

Skin care has an even brighter future thanks to, of all things, "light." Not just any light, but light of a certain power and at certain wave lengths that have an effect on the body, setting off a series of cellular activities to produce softer, more youthful-looking skin.
Originally introduced in this country some 25 years ago and having been used in Europe for many years, Light Therapy really came into its own in the United States when NASA began doing research to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space. Many scientific studies have been conducted which have proven that light in the right wavelengths in low power doses is absorbed by the cell which prompts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin proteins. What this means in layman's language is that the skin is benefited by treatment with this type of light.

 
In contrast to high power lasers which are used for surgery or "peels" this low power light treatment stimulates the cells and thus creates the benefit referred to earlier . Typically light in the red and near-infrared (invisible light) spectrum are used for treating aging, photo-damaged or blotchy skin and tissue regeneration.
This new light therapy is referred to by several terms, including photo modulation, cold light, photo rejuvenation, and low power light therapy. Light Therapy is safe when applied properly and has no feeling except a very mild warmth with those devices that have a more powerful light source. The power of the Light Therapy device being used determines the length of time required to perform a complete facial. Those seeking more beautiful and younger looking skin can look forward with great anticipation to having Light Therapy as part of their beauty regimen.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the light treatment hurt? Are there any adverse effects?
Application of the light feels comfortable and relaxing. It is gentle, painless, safe, non-invasive and nonabrasive. There is no “down time” and no adverse reactions have been reported.


When will I see results?
Normally, noticeable changes are seen in one to five days. Generally, you will see yourself look 5 to 20 years younger in three to eight weeks. However, each person responds to the system at different speeds depending on their current physical conditions, age, skin condition, diet, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, etc.


Is light treatment safe?
YES! It has been proven in numerous studies that LED photo rejuvenation does not harm the human body in any way. The light waves are safe for any age, color, or skin type. The light energy delivered cannot harm or burn your skin in any way.
