Questions and
Answers: LightWave Skin Therapy
Q: How often should
treatments be administered ?
A: The initial treatment
package should be administered 20-24 minutes once a week for a total
of six (6) treatments.
Q: How soon will
the patient see results after the first treatment?
A: many patients will experience some
change in skin appearance after the first treatment. Typical
results after the first treatments are a smoother and healthier skin
tone. In the days and weeks following the first treatment, the
skins appearance will continue to improve as new capillary growth,
which leads to better circulation and collagen production increase.
Q: Does the patient
need additional treatments after the initial set of treatments?
A: Yes. At least once monthly the
patient should have a 30-minute LightWave rejuvenation treatment.
More frequent treatments may be needed ( or desired) and are dependent
on the specifics of the patients skin care needs.
Q: Are there any
side effects from the treatment?
A: There are no known harmful side
effects from the treatment. Some patients may experience a
slight flushing of the skin and some may feel a mild discomfort but
this should decrease over a couple of hours following the treatment.
This is due to increased circulation to the areas being treated, which
has therapeutic benefits as it assists to flush toxins and other
wastes from the skin cells and lymphatic system.
Q: What other areas
can be treated?
A: The LightWave Skin Rejuvenation System is
most effective in treating the face, neck and chest areas.
However, it can be used to treat other areas of the body as well.
Q: Why does this
unit use two (2) wavelengths of light?
A: Ultra-bright red operates at the
visible spectrum of light (660nm) and is very good for killing
bacteria. Infrared light operates at the 940 nm spectrum, which
is not visible to the human eye. It is that light which has the
greatest effect on the mitochondria of the cell and can penetrate the
dermal layers with greater ease.
Q; Why does the
energy probe warm up? I thought this treatment was about light
therapy?
A: Unlike other devices on the market,
LightWave DOES NOT put a heating bulb in
the unit. This therapy is not about heat. It is the
properties of energy that are the most beneficial. However, due
to the high levels of energy emitted from the device, some heat will
be generated.
Q: Will this
therapy work on any skin color or type?
A: Yes. LightWave phototherapy treatments work at
the cellular level. Persons of all skin types and colors can
benefit from these treatments.
