Gentlewaves

Gentlewaves uses LED Photomodulation to gently stimulate or inhabit cellular activity to reduce the signs of aging. LED Photomodulation is the interaction of light delivered through Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to activate cells causing them to produce collagen or multiply.

How does LED Photomodulation work?

LEDs offer a totally natural, non-ablative method for skin rejuvenation. The light from the LEDs interacts with cells and stimulates them to produce new collagen and elastin. The GentleWaves system is coded in such a way to stimulate specific cell changes. By manipulating the codes, different treatments can be designed for specific applications.

What are the benefits of LED Photomodulation?

Treatments are less expensive than other light based therapies. The main benefit is a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, brown spots, scars and the amount of redness. In addition, the treatments are pain free with no downtime at all.

What will I feel like after my treatment?

Most patients return to normal activities immediately. What our patients like the most about LED Photomodulation is that treatments are fast and they don’t have to miss any activities.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically treatments are spread over several weeks or a few months. The number of treatments and the treatment times will vary depending on the problem being treated, the amount of surface area treated and the area treated. Since the results are progressive, you will notice more correction with each treatment. As full correction approaches, treatment intervals can be expanded to three to six month intervals. Since the skin continues to age, maintenance treatments will be required.

Will the treatment hurt?

No. The treatment is very relaxing. The delivery of the LED energy to the skin is fast and completely pain free. The energy generated by the LEDs is cool and gentle enough to treat all ethnic skin types.

Can I have LED Photomodulation with other treatments?

Yes. LED Photomodulation can be administered alone or in conjunction with other treatments. We have found it to be highly complementary with other skin treatments such as Botox® and dermal fillers as well as non-ablative laser and IPL treatments.

Cosmetic surgeons worldwide are beginning to choose LED Photomodulation as one of their preferred treatments for fine lines, hyperpigmented lesions (brown spots and freckles) and other skin problems associated with photoaging.
