GentleWaves® LED

GentleWaves® also called Photomodulation, is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that encourages the production of collagen by stimulating cells. This is achieved through the use of Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs. This procedure makes wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots, and scars less noticeable.

People in Buckhead, East Cobb, Midtown, and the surrounding areas in Atlanta and Marietta, GA wanting to recapture the glow of youthful skin may turn to the board-certified dermatologists at Dermatology Affiliates for the GentleWaves® LED light treatment to produce collagen in areas of the face and neck restoring a younger appearance.
