I am asked every 
day, “how can I get rid of the lines around my eyes?” and “can you do something about my sagging jowls?” without me having to go for surgery!
My answer to my clients is yes and yes and a little bit of a no depending on how many and how deep those lines and wrinkles are.
You see, it all depends on the results we truly expect to see based on the damage we have already done to our skin. I use a few different, yet specific products and treatments that can help with all of our fine lines and wrinkles and I believe can turn back the hands of time just a bit to restore our skin to a more youthful state.However, it all does depend on what my clients are also willing to do at home to maintain and even enhance the results we can achieve in my treatment room.
Today I would like to talk about a treatment or device that delivers exceptional results for me in the spa and will even tell you what products are available for “at home” use. Now about those lines and wrinkles.
Medicine has yet to find a way to turn back time, but Photo Rejuvenation makes it easier to look younger in no time at all! It is one of the hottest topics in the field of skin care. This is because the procedure can help aging or sun-damaged skin through a series of treatments (lasting 20 minutes) that require. No Recovery Time.
Introduction to Phototherapy
Light therapy has been used by ancient cultures (Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese) for thousands of years. It is only recently that science has been able to explain these healing principals and apply them in a manner that is safe and efficient for healing and anti-aging purposes.
Phototherapy is the scientific application of light, to specific points of the body to activate or produce particular physiological results. There is often some confusion, when discussing the behavior or light in tissue. When light is generated, and travels through air, it can be described as being comprised of electro-magnetic waves, measured in nanometers (nm). However, it is the “energy” that we are most interested in. It is the proper combination of energy output, type of light wavelength and absorption of energy in the cell that assists in skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.
I know this is a bunch of technical stuff, but it is important to know how much this little light can do to rejuvenate the skin. Photo LED Rejuvenation packs a powerful punch when it comes to delivering results without surgery. Ok, let’s continue with the scientific stuff!
The activities caused by phototherapy increase vascularity in the formation of new capilaries as well as help to replace damaged ones. Certain wavelengths of light also stimulate the production of collagen. The chemical comound ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a major carrier of energy in cells and its release allows for a faster acceptance of nutrients in cells and the removal of toxins when stimulated by phototherapy. Now we already know what toxins can do to our bodies and how important it is to rid our body from them. Photo rejuvenation helps to increases lymphatic function (we will talk more about the importance of lymphatic drainage in another post).
The combination of amber, red and infrared LED light is the most powerful and effective way to create collagen and elastin, which is responsible for youthful, healthy skin.
This therapy can also treat acne and rosacea very effectively. The combination of lights in the LED light control acne and help to relieve the symptoms of Rosacea.
The Benefits
- Increases collagen production by 50% thus reducing wrinkles.
- Creates more skin moisture to help fill out the skin.
- Increases circulation, providing a healthier skin tone.
- Restores the skin’s natural cellular (collagen) activity.
- Reduces melanin production, which causes brown ages spots.
Promotes nutritional elements existing within the skin. Because it plumps up the skin, its like giving yourself a collagen injection…but using your own collagen.
The Procedure
The Baby Quasar Photo Skin Rejuvenation System allows therapeutic light waves to penetrate the epidermal layers of the skin enabling increased circulation by escalating the formation of new capilaries. New capilaries speed up anti-aging processes by supplying additional oxygen and nutrients needed for cellular healing.
The photothearpy application of the Baby Quasar Skin Rejuvenation System increases RNA and DNE synthesis helping damaged cell components to be replaced more rapidly. It stimulated the production of collagen which allows the skin to maintain elasticity and a wrinkle free appearance.
Most salons offer this as a stand alone treatment or it can be added on to any facial treatment. The typical cost for this service can range from $50 to $100 per session.
