Gentle Waves LED Photomodulation 

Gentle Waves LED Photomodulation technology is the interaction of light delivered through LED's (light emitting diodes) to activate skin cells causing them to produce collagen. This technology converts light energy within the cells, similar to the way photosynthesis takes sunlight and turns it into food energy in plants. Gentle Waves technology can now offer a totally natural, non-invasive method of skin rejuvenation to reduced the visible signs of aging.

Gentle Waves does not rely on thermal energy so there is no trauma to the skin, no pain or discomfort and no side effects. The main benefit is a smoother, softer and creamier looking skin with reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, brown spots and skin redness.

A series of six to eight treatments is recommended and you can be treated up to twice a week since there are no thermal effects to the skin.

Other major benefits from Gentle Waves LED photomodulation include:

• Painless, No anesthesia, No discomfort
• No downtime: Lunchtime procedure
• Quick: Treatments can take less than 5 minutes
• Suitable for All skin types
• Safe: Risk free & Non-Thermal
• Affordable

Gentle Waves has been scientifically tested and FDA submitted studies demonstrated a 60% total improvement in overall skin quality. In addition, Gentle Waves has been found to be extremely effective in improving the appearance of the neck and chest, which has been difficult to treat up to now. Gentle Waves LED photomodulation can also be used in conjunction with other procedures such as microdermabrasion & Botox to enhance the results.

More Technically Speaking

LED photomodulation emulates photosynthesis in human skin cells, using the cell's own cytochromes to build new proteins just as plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into structural building blocks. GentleWaves uses low wattage light directed through the skin's epidermis aimed at fibroblast cells, which produce collagen and elastin. The light stimulates the cell's own energy transport system, producing  more structural proteins.  This causes an increase in volume of the epidermis and improves tone and elasticity.

LED photomodulation has been used by scientists working for the U.S. Department of Defense.  In 2003, the government published results showing that LEDs can help treat mouth sores suffered by chemotherapy patients.
