Wrinkle Therapy
Gentle Waves Light Therapy - Introduction
Gentlewaves is a new light-based skin
rejuvenation system. It is different from all previously FDA approved
systems in that it uses very low energy LED's (Light Emitting Diodes)
in a pulsed pattern which has been shown to stimulate collagen
production in skin. Two things happen in skin stimulated by Gentlewaves:
- Increased collagen production
- Decreased collagen
destruction
These two opposing actions are always related.
In youthful skin they are in near balance, but with sun-damage
and other injuries, collagen production decreases while collagen
destruction increases. This causes the skin to lose firmness
and for wrinkles to occur.
What is amazing is that with Gentlewaves the stimulus
directly affects the collagen producing cell. Other light based
laser systems ( Lasers, IPL) produce controlled thermal (heat)
injuries, the repair of which produces the improvement. Gentlewaves stimulates
the appropriate cell directly, without any injury.
Gentlewaves is painless, risk-free and with no downtime.
It can be used as a stand-alone therapy, but because they approach
the same problem from different directions, Gentlewaves is
particularly effective when combined with FOTOFACIAL RF ( IPL & RF),
which we feel is the safest and gentlest effective method of providing
thermal injury. It is important to realize that gentle systems
produce results over time, not immediately. Immediate change usually
means RISK. Gentlewaves treatments can be done weekly
for 8-10 weeks with improvement most evident at 20-28 weeks. We
will track your progress with photographs so you don't guess about
the results. We have a number of packages for Gentlewaves depending
on which areas you want treated and whether you wish to combine
it with FOTOFACIAL RF. The packages all include light microdermabrasion
prior to each treatment and a tube of NEOCUTIS, a cream that provides
multiple growth factors to further stimulate collagen production.
