Your initial treatment will involve around 30 minutes which includes a detailed skin analysis and consultation. Treatments there after will typically be 20 minutes. A course of nine (9) treatments is highly recommended to maximise your investment. Ongoing maintenance on a four to six week basis will prolong the results.

Majority of clients will feel an immediate effect, but every skin type is different. Immediately after your first treatment, your skin will look clearer, brighter and smoother. Successive course of treatments is KEY to ensuring you get the best possible results.

You will feel a pleasant, warm feeling under the light beam as the light surrounds your face. It is much like lying on the beach for 15 minutes without the harmful UVA, UVB or infra-red radiation. While you are enjoying the warmth of the light, you will be brought to a deeper level of relaxation with a devine hand or scalp massage by our expert therapist.

LIGHTWAVE Red Light Therapy was developed after many years of medical research. It delivers pure, narrow-band light via a matrix of purpose built LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) carefully positioned to ensure a uniform beam. The activation of photoacceptors is achieved with non-thermal light with no sub-dermal insult or damage to the tissue as seen with other light based therapy. The scientifically designed, patent-protected light source does not produce any harmful UVA, UVB or infra-red.

LIGHTWAVE Light Therapy has been developed to closely match key photoacceptors, excluding all unnecessary wavelengths and delivering a narrow and continuous dosage at optimum power. There is no photobleaching, sebaceous gland disruption or tissue hyperthermia as seen with high intensity light sources and lasers.

LIGHTWAVE is an essential tool as part of an acne management programme. LIGHTWAVE delivers pure light optimised to deliver the correct wavelength and dose for maximum activation of the target cells. Combination phototherapy works through the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activity of LIGHTWAVE Blue and LIGHTWAVE Red delivered alternately. Only by delivering the right wavelength in sequence can optimum results be seen. Activation of coproporphyrin III creates intracellular singlet oxygen – inducing complete bacterial death.

This reduces the bacterial colonisation of the sebaceous gland, returning the gland’s abnormally high level of sebum to normal and reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Simultaneously, LIGHTWAVE Blue induces anti-inflammatory cytokines, stimulating specific immunoregulatory pathways. The intracellular specificity of red light therapy (LIGHTWAVE Red) is well documented and it has long been demonstrated that offers excellent reduction in inflammatory lesions and is proven to stimulate cellular mechanisms for tissue repair.

LIGHTWAVE Blue and LIGHTWAVE Red are safe and harmless to your skin and generate no heat. The light works naturally with your body to promote the healing response. The only safety measure is to wear goggles to protect your eyes from the light.

Optimum results will be seen between 4-8 weeks after treatment. The light stimulates natural processes that continue after the treatment has stopped. Whilst studies have shown complete clearance of lesions, on average you should expect 70% of lesions to clear when using blue light alone and over 80% when using blue and red light together. We suggest that the treatment is used in conjunction with a preparation such as salicylic acid. Your advisor can discuss this combination treatment with you.

No. There have been no reported adverse side effects like redness or irritation from the treatment, and the light does not damage skin in any way.

Not at all because there’s no heat involved, there’s no pain!

You will have to remove any makeup or sunblock before the treatment and you will also be asked to wear safety goggles. The light will then be positioned close to your face and you will be treated for 15 minutes. After that you’re free to go home. The treatment course is usually 8 light treatments. Dependent upon your type of acne, you may be advised to use a face wash and a gel containing salicylic acid. We will be able to recommend a professional range of products to help with this.

LIGHTWAVE Redbio-modulates fibroblast activity, leading to faster and more efficient collagen synthesis whereas LIGHTWAVE Yellow stimulates the contractile phase of the remodeling process producing better lineated collagen. In combination these wavelengths work in synergy to produce better visible results and hence patient satisfaction.

Using a combination of different lights delivered at different times we are able to stimulate these cells that help counteract the effects of ageing. Unlike some anti-ageing treatments that work as a result of the body’s response to damage, LIGHTWAVE stimulates natural processes to rejuvenate the skin.

Although the ageing of our skin is a complex biological process there are two main causes: chronological ageing – the effect of time on our bodies; and photo-ageing – the effect of the sun’s harmful rays. As we grow older, the amount of collagen, the major supporting protein of the body, diminishes. In addition, the skin becomes less flexible. This means that our skin becomes drier and thinner as the body’s natural regeneration process slows down, and the skin slowly loses its ability to retain moisture.

These effects are further compounded by the harmful UVA and UVB rays in sunlight. These damage the skin by producing enzymes that break down the skin’s supportive structure and so prevent the creation of new collagen. Successfully restoring the skin overcomes the effects of time and exposure to the sun by stimulating the creation of new collagen. It also aids the detoxification of the skin. And this is where LIGHTWAVE Yellow plays such a unique and valuable role.
