FAQs about GentleWaves LED
GentleWaves® stimulates the skin by releasing light pulses to targeted areas to stimulate the production of collagen. In a short amount of time, this treatment reduces fine lines caused by repetitive facial movements and blocks enzymes in the skin that destroys collagen during the aging process. GentleWaves® LED Photomodulation is suitable for all skin types and is typically used on the face, neck, and chest. The condition of the skin and how much of it will be treated are factors that determine how many treatments will be needed. Typically 10 treatments are administered, and there will be mild improvements after every treatment. Treatments may be performed every three or six months once the condition of the skin improves. To combat future aging, continued treatments to maintain the skin’s condition are needed. Because of the flashing lights GentleWaves® is not recommended for people who suffer from seizures.
GentleWaves® is often used in conjunction with other treatments and greatly compliments microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing procedures.
