  • What is the Theory of LED Photomodulation Technology?
    • Scientists theorize that LED Photomodulation® uses low intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a process similar to plant photosynthesis whereby plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks.


    How does the LightWave LED Photomodulation System Work?
    • Lightwave uses LED Photomodulation technology. The key to the science behind it lies in using gentle light energy at specifically selected proprietary codes for optimum effectiveness. The modulated light is then delivered to target treatment areas by sophisticated pulsed technology.
    • As the first fully integrated anti-aging program, LightWave includes the LED device in three wavelengths and is complimented by a complete skin care regimen designed to enhance and maintain the results of session. The home skin care products feature dermatologist-tested cosmeceuticals and scientifically developed nutraceuticals to complement the LED Photomodulation procedure.

    What are the benefits of the LightWave sessions?
    • No pain, side effects, or downtime
    • Remarkably safe and effective for all skin types
    • Non-thermal, non-invasive, and non-ablative so there’s no injury to the skin surface
    • Fast and convenient
    • Treats large areas such as the entire face or chest at once
    • Uses 3 wavelengths to address a variety of aesthetic concerns
    • No aftercare is needed
    • Comprehensive anti-aging skin care regimen for home use
    • Affordable and cost-effective
    • Compatible with other skin rejuvenation techniques

    How Is LightWave® Unique?
    • Current high-tech skin rejuvenation therapies operate via photothermolysis to thermally injure tissue and induce a wound healing response or use chemicals to peel damaged tissue. However, wound healing responses are unpredictable and are an imperfect mechanism for achieving new collagen production.

    • LightWaves® is a natural non-thermal process that uses gentle LEDs emitting less energy than a 25 watt light bulb to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin without skin tissue injury or patient discomfort.

    What is the Clinical Efficacy?
    • In a recent multicenter study of 90 patients who underwent 8 LED treatments, 62% achieved improved appearance of skin around the eyes, 36% around the upper lip, and 26% achieved improvement of skin roughness around the eyes. Continued improvement in patients’ appearance was observed for 4 months after the last treatment session. High patient satisfaction was reported.


    What and Where LightWaves® Treats?
    • LightWaves® LED Photomodulation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improves the appearance of sun-weathered skin.  It also improves the appearance of scars and reduces acne.


    What is the Treatment Scenario?
    • Patients spend under a minute sitting in front of a cascading array of over 2,000 pulsing lights (LEDs). The entire process can be completed within 15 to 20 minutes, patients can immediately return to their normal routine with no redness or peeling.


    How long does a LightWave® session take?
    • The classic LightWave LED session takes less than 20 minutes, combining 2 wavelengths of light. However, patients may opt for a one-color only session for 15 minutes of one concentrated wavelength of light.


    What is a LightWaves® Euro Session?
    • The LightWaves® Euro Session consists of a gentle exfoliation of the skin prior to the LightWaves® LED session.  Enzymatic masques, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are the three most common methods of exfoliation done prior to a LightWave session.

    How many LightWaves® sessions do I need?
    • Depending on the desired results and the area being treated, most practitioners are recommending 8 to 10 treatments.

    How often should I get LightWaves® sessions?
    • Since LightWaves® is non-thermal, you can be treated up to twice a week.  Most practitioners are recommending a twice per week program for the initial series of 8 sessions, followed by a monthly maintenance session.

    Will the LightWaves® sessions hurt?
    • No.  Unlike lasers, LightWaves® is non-thermal and patients are reporting no pain associated with the sessions.

    When will I start seeing results?
    • LightWaves® sessions are progressive, and you will notice more correction with each treatment. Patients are reporting noticeable changes as early as after 5 to 7 sessions.

    Can I combine LightWaves® with other skin care treatments?
    • Yes, LightWaves® can be administered alone or in conjunction with other treatments. Pratitioners have found LightWaves to be highly complimentary with other skin care treatments such as BOTOX Cosmetic®, dermal fillers, skin peels, Photo Dynamic Therapy, and skin rejuvenating lasers.
