LIGHTWAVE LED Therapy

LED light therapy is the process of converting light energy into cellular energy for natural,non-invasive skin rejuvenation. Through a combination of Red light therapy, Blue light therapy and Infrared light therapy these wavelengths work for anti-aging therapy, wrinkle treatments,scar treatments, acne treatments and more. Blue and Red light can also be used to activate PDT, or Photo Dynamic Therapy.

The Red light therapy component of Lightwave therapy increases circulation.This LED light therapy technique can work as an:

• Anti aging therapy
• Wrinkle treatment
• Scar treatment
• Acne treatment

Of course, equally important to Red light is Blue light therapy and Infrared light therapy.Blue light therapy involves targeting one of the main causes of acne which is the presence of P. Acnes bacteria within the skin. Once the skin absorbs LIGHTWAVE’s Blue light, molecules within the skin produce singlet oxygen and free radicals that kill the P. acnes bacteria. As for Infrared, it’s an invisible light that increases collagen and elastin production and nourishes damaged tissues.

From its use as a body treatment and scar treatment, to anti aging therapy and wrinkle treatment; LED light therapy is effective, affordable and pain-free.For questions about LED light therapy, including specifics about Red light therapy and Blue light therapy (both of which can be used in activating PDT), Infrared light therapy or skin care products, contact LIGHTWAVE Technologies so you can make informed decisions about light therapy for natural skin rejuvenation.

Blue light therapy is used in conjunction with Red light therapy for adolescent and adult acne and acne scar treatments. Blue light treatment is a natural, effective skin rejuvenation technique, and can be used to activate PDT, or photodynamic therapy.
Four common causes of adolescent and adult acne include:

• Increased oil production
• Unusual shedding of dead skin cells
• Increased bacteria
• Inflammation

LED light therapy address these issues when it comes to mild/moderate acne, acne scars, skin care for acne, and even severe acne in some cases. Blue light therapy and Red light therapy alone can be used to target acne and acne scars. However, when Blue light therapy and red light therapy are used in conjunction with each other; they are much more effective at targeting inflammatory acne. In some cases, Blue light is used on its own.

During the process of blue light therapy, the skin is exposed to Blue light, which is quickly absorbed by acne-causing bacteria. Molecules within the bacteria then react by producing singlet oxygen and free radicals that in-turn destroy the P. Acnes bacteria. Once the body has been exposed to Blue light, the use of Red light therapy helps to restore normal cellular function and promotes healthy skin rejuvenation. The process is the same for the treatment of acne scars when targeting both adolescent and adult acne needs.

Infrared light therapy treatment is used in conjunction with Red light therapy and Blue light therapy for a wide range of skin rejuvenation purposes including facial rejuvenation, facial wrinkle treatments, acne treatments, acne scar treatments.

It’s all part of the natural, affordable and effective led light therapy method known as LIGHTWAVE. In this process, an Infrared light therapy treatment penetrates deep into the body; stimulating collagen and elastin production while also nourishing damaged tissues. Red light therapy and Infrared light therapy have many similar effects on the body. However, infrared light therapy can travel much deeper into the body and is primarily absorbed by the proteins found in the cell membrane which helps to increase cell permeability. Red light therapy and Blue light therapy are also equally beneficial, increasing circulation within the skin and killing bacteria. From body treatments and acne scar treatments, to skin rejuvenation for anti aging treatments, to a facial wrinkle treatment; LIGHTWAVE is the latest affordable treatment of choice.

Through specific combinations of an Infrared light therapy treatment, Red light therapy and Blue light therapy; the following concerns are able to be safely and effectively treated:

• Acne scar treatment
• Anti aging treatment
• Anti aging treatment
• Facial rejuvenation skin care treatment

After your initial consultation I will then choose the appropriate LIGHTWAVE protocol(s) to address your areas of concern. We will begin treatment by properly preparing the skin with specific to help clear away the outermost layer of the skin so that the appropriate amount of photo energy can be properly absorbed. Next, the skin is exposed to specific wavelengths of light that will stimulate the cellular renewal process and begin the reparative process. Finally, the right product will be applied to the surface of the skin to start rebuilding, replenishing and protecting the exposed skin cells.

While some clients may require only a few treatments, other problems may be more chronic or affecting deeper layers of tissue and require more frequent and extended attention. Clients with skin discolorations and acne can use LIGHTWAVE as frequently as they desire. Some clients with diabetes or other light/heat sensitive ailments may require attention to avoid over-heated skin but can still benefit from the treatment.

As we all age, our skin loses some its ability to heal and reconstruct itself. Components such as collagen and elastin, necessary in maintaining the physical appearance and vitality of skin, decreases in production; scar tissue, toxins and waste build-up (acne, wrinkles, sunspots, hyper-pigmentation, etc.) increases the appearance of physical flaws.

Varying frequencies of low-level infrared and visible red light give the skin the necessary aid to reduce these, and many other, signs of aging. These wavelengths of light can also help reduce scarring, and patients requiring pain management and would healing, of all shapes, sizes, age, and colors of skin. Some patients with heat/light sensitivity from medications or medical problems may require means to reduce heat to the skin but can still use the LIGHTWAVE system since the heat output is very minimal.

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. It does this by enacting cutting-edge protocols that activate 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 has been documented in more than 2,500 research papers, and approximately 100 double blind studies.

The LED 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.

LIGHTWAVE offers advanced cosmetic rejuvenation utilizing both Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, which has been determined by the FDA to be of non-significant risk. LIGHTWAVE 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. Treatments are generally perceived as pleasant and relaxing.

The POWER of LIGHT
Topical Light infusion (TLi) is the only light based infusion system available that safely and effectively addresses a variety of cosmetic concerns and is far superior to other infusion technologies currently available. Over the past decade, science has made significant advancements in developing results-oriented ingredients and formulations. However, ingredients alone are not the sole determining factor of a product’s effectiveness.

In order for a product to be effective, it first has to penetrate and find its way to specific targeted areas of the skin. Then it must be absorbed before it can ever start to create a noticeable change.

A skin care formulation can have the most sophisticated ingredients available, but if the delivery is not effective, it cannot perform optimally. Therefore, finding an effective delivery method that has the capabilities of infusing topicals into the skin and delivering ingredients to targeted areas is crucial. This new topical infusion method has the ability to activate and infuse various topicals without damaging the skin or altering the topical formulations.

Why LIGHTWAVE TLi:

In order to understand the principles of LIGHTWAVE Topical Light infusion (TLi™), it is important to first understand that it is not a standard LED light therapy treatment. LIGHTWAVE Topical Light infusion (TLi™) is a treatment that combines the activation and delivery of topicals and light.

It has been long understood that in order for an LED light therapy treatment to be effective the light must first enter the body and be absorbed. The same principals hold true for topical delivery; the topical must first enter the body and be absorbed in order to make long term changes.
