LED Therapy FAQ
This therapy offers advanced cosmetic rejuvenation utilizing Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology with a low-level power output, which has been determined by the FDA “to be of non-significant risk”. LED therapy is completely non-invasive and does not produce any thermal damage or pain, unlike IPL (Intense Pulse Light) or high-powered laser resurfacing units, and you can safely treat any skin types. Treatments are 20 minutes in duration, enjoyable and relaxing.
LED therapy can reduce and even reverse the effect of aging and damage to skin and other bodily tissues. It does this by stimulating the rejuvenation of these tissues at the cellular level, resulting in a significant and yet totally natural looking cosmetic enhancement. The effectiveness of using light and infrared therapy to stimulate rejuvenation in damaged tissues (i.e.: sports injuries, etc.) has been documented in more than 2,500 research papers and approximately 100 double blind studies. LED is the first light therapy system specifically designed for aesthetic application to the entire body.
LED therapy is a gentle and natural therapy much like the process of photosynthesis, also known as photo-bio-stimulation: “the stimulation of life processes with light.” LED therapy uses both visible red (red light) and infrared (invisible light) energy to stimulate your bodies own regenerative metabolism at the cellular level. By stimulating the bodies tissues to convert light energy into cellular energy (ATP), LED therapy provides energy that your cells can use to accelerate the production of collagen and elastin.
Benefits of LED
Increases the cellular permeability, allowing for increased cellular nutrient uptake and also increases the removal of excess fluid and waste products from the cells. Increases the production of macrophage (scavenger) cells for the removal of toxins/excess pigment and scars tissue and increases lymphatic drainage. Also increases vascularities (blood flow) to the surface of the skin.
Can It be used it with other procedures?
LED Therapy is effective for all cosmetic enhancement and will compliment other procedures you are currently offering. It reduces post edema or erythema following procedures such as a Lipodissolve or IPL . And is very commonly used abroad before surgical procedures such Liposuction and after to help improve he results. LED has been shown reduce the appearance of fine lines and superficial wrinkles by increasing cellular hydration, blood flow, nutrient-intake and waste removal within the various layers of the skin and supporting tissues. LED therapy lifts, tones, and restores your youthful appearance with 100% natural-looking results. LED therapy can also reduce the appearance of facial scars, burns, sun damage, sunspots, and even pregnancy mask. LED therapy significantly enhances all other anti-aging treatments including microdermabrasion, chemical peelings, hydrating creams, and anti-cellulite regimens.
How can LED therapy be used to improve other areas of the body?
LED Therapy can be used to improve the appearance of tired, flaccid skin on the breasts and abdomen, stretch marks, spider veins, “orange peel” and cellulite. LED can also help restore skin tone by stimulating lymphatic drainage, resulting in a younger-looking, smoother and firmer looking body. LED can be used on any area of the body. While the basic nature of the therapy is the same (you will be treated using a combination of visible red and infrared energy) your treatment protocol will vary depending on the area of the body and condition being treated.
Considerations.
This procedure is for generally healthy people. Persons with any severe life threatening disease or pregnancy are not candidates for the therapy. Anyone with questions should consult their Lightwave Technician or their health care provider before initiating treatments. Persons with epilepsy must use protective eye wear. Caution should be used when treating persons with diabetes or damaged skin (i.e., burns, skin graphs, areas which have had tattoos removed, or areas previously lasered or resurfaced skin, etc.).
How long does it last?
As with any treatment, individual results will vary from person to person. Factors which will influence the efficacy of your personal treatment include physical condition, age, skin color, diet, and lifestyle. Most people can see noticeable changes in 6-8 treatments and sometimes in as few as 2 or 3 treatments. LED is usually recommended twice per week for the first two weeks then once a week there after until desired results are achieved. Consistent treatments are required to achieve and maintain a more youthful appearance. Maintenance treatments are recommended once or twice per month as desired. There is no limit to the number of treatments one can have over time.
What kind of results can be expected?
Younger patients will have better results as they generally have less damaged skin. Lightwave clients 35-45 years of age, in general see a 50% - 60% improvement in wrinkles and improvements in flaccid skin. Ten to 15% of clients see an 80%-90% improvement. No results can be 100% guaranteed, due to lifestyle and other variables.
