What
exactly is LED Photomodulation?
LED Photomodulation is the interaction of light delivered
through Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to activate cells. This activation causes cells to produce collagen
and elastin proteins resulting in skin regeneration. |

How
is LED Photomodulation different from Laser and Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy?
Unlike light-based skin therapies, including intense
pulsed light and laser treatments, that rely on thermal
injury to the skin's collagen, water or blood vessels
to create changes in the skin appearance, LED Photomodulation
does away with tissue trauma to effect change. Therefore,
patients are not subject to the possible discomfort
associated with wound healing. |

How
does LED Photomodulation work?
Simply put, the light from the LEDs interacts with cells
and stimulates them to produce new collagen and elastin.
The GentleWaves LED system is designed to stimulate “specific” cell changes. LED treatments can
be designed especially for your specific needs. |

Simply put, the light from the LEDs interacts with cells

The GentleWaves LED system is designed to convert light
energy into cellular energy to help smooth fine lines
and shrink pores. LED treatments can be designed especially
for your specific needs. |

What
do the LED treatments feel like?
The treatment is fast, completely pain free and is gentle
enough to treat all ethnic skin types. |

So,
just how many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments you require will vary depending
on the problems being treated. Since the results are
progressive, you may notice more correction with each
treatment. When full correction approaches, your treatment
intervals can be lessened to three to six month intervals. |
| |
What
about combining LED Photomodulation with other treatments?
LED Photomodulation can be administered alone or in
conjunction with other treatments such as Botox and
dermal fillers as well as non-ablative laser and IPL
treatments. LED Photomodulation is quickly becoming
the preferred treatment for fine lines, hyperpigmented
lesions (brown spots and freckles) and other skin problems
associated with photoaging. |
