OVERVIEW
The FDA has approved the GentleWaves, a skin treatment that rebuilds the skin from the bottom, reduces the aging signs of skin and makes skin smooth. Unlike laser treatments, the GentleWaves skin treatment does not heat or cause thermal injury to skin and thus makes the procedure safe. It does not require any downtime and can be performed during lunch time. But the people with leathery skin are not suitable candidates for the treatment. GentleWaves is a light-emitting diode device which uses a series of lights to project light under the skin and cause a chemical reaction to enhance collagen production.
The treatment is recommended in a package of 10 to 12 sessions.

The beauty of cosmetic technology in this day and age is our ability to treat the most delicate skin and subtle skin damage with light therapy. GentleWaves skin resurfacing is so temperate, it successfully reduces fine lines, fine wrinkles, and pore size on the face, it can diminish irregular pigmentation on the neck, chest and lower legs, and it is safe to use in the reduction of scar tissue.
Once you familiarize yourself with the milder light therapy skin care options of GentleWaves technology, call our office to schedule a consultation.
The most sensitive skin on our face is around the eyes, and most lasers, chemical peels and Microdermabrasion require the eyes to be covered or avoided to prevent damage from the treatment. GentleWaves LED wrinkle removal is so mild the FDA has approved this non-thermal treatment specifically for wrinkles around the eyes.
GentleWaves is a low intensity light therapy which utilizes a technology called Photomodulation that can increase or decrease cellular activity. Photomodulation is an emission of coded light pulses. Your skin cells respond differently to each distinctive code of light. Mitochondria in collagen cells are activated to stimulate more collagen growth. At the same time, enzymes that cause the skin to age and breakdown are inhibited. Over time, both of these simultaneous processes improve the skin's tone and texture revealing a smooth, creamy, youthful complexion.

THE PROCESS
GentleWaves treatments are quick and convenient. We have placed this self-serve unit in our front, retail boutique so that it's easily accessible. Because it is a self-serve format, the price is now incredibly affordable for everyone!
Upon arriving, you may use our cleansers and warm towels to wash your skin. You may then apply nutrient-rich floral water and eye goggles at your option. You will then hold the shield up to one side of your face and press the start button. The lights will cascade for 45 seconds. You will repeat this process on the other side of your face, followed by a cycle to cover your neck, then 2 more cycles for each half of your upper chest. You may opt to cycle the lights over your hands as well. After placing the shield back into the cradle, you may use any of the organic skin care products from our DNA line to treat and moisturize your skin... and please remember to use the SPF28 sunscreen. The entire process takes but a few minutes.
There is no pain, no need for anesthesia, no harm to your skin, no need to heal and therefore, no recovery time.
A GentleWaves treatment regimen generally consists of 10 to 12 treatments once or twice, even three times per week. After the initial regimen, maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 to 8 weeks.
Because GentleWaves is such a mild treatment, results are seen gradually and less dramatically than other harsher or more invasive procedures. As your regimen continues, you will see an increase of your skin's radiance, a decrease of wrinkles and lines, and diminished freckles and age spots, which will continue for up to 6 months after your regimen has ended.
In order to determine the precise and optimal treatment regimen that addresses your unique skin care needs, talk to your skin care specialist about scheduling a complimentary VISIA digital skin analysis.

THE SCIENCE
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. The low wattage produces cool temperatures, reducing the risk of burns or scars, potentially caused by laser treatments.
LED photomodulation has been used by scientists working for the U.S. Department of Defense's researching whether LEDs can heal eye injuries and skin lesions. in 2003, the government published results showing that LEDs can help treat the mouth sores suffered by chemotherapy patients.
