What
is GentleWaves®?
GentleWaves® or LED Photomodulation is the interaction
of light delivered through Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to
activate
cells causing them to produce collagen or multiply. The main
benefit is a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles,
brown spots and scars. In addition, the treatments are pain
free with no downtime at all.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically treatments are spread over a couple of 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, the 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 other treatments with
GentleWaves®?
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 MicroPeels and Microdermabrasion
as well as Botox® and dermal fillers.
What will I feel like after the treatment?
Most patients return to normal activity immediately. What
our patients like most about LED Photomodulation is that
treatments
are fast and they don’t have any downtime.
