The two colours of light are shone directly onto the skin in the form of many tiny diodes, and the two colours have different effects on the skin. The blue light helps to kill the bacteria in the skin. The red light plumps the skin and helps to diminish lines and wrinkles. Light emitting diodes (LED's) are now at the forefront of aesthetic dermatology. The treatment of Acne Vulgaris, pain management, wound healing and rejuvenation of photo aged skin are being enhanced by the use of specific wavelengths delivered by LED's What Can It Treat?
And many more… Diode Light Therapy At Cap City Cosmetic At the Cap City Cosmetic clinic, we use the RejuvaLight machine to carry out Diode Light Therapy. The rejuvalight has the ability to emit both red and blue light simultaneously to treat multiple skin ailments at the same time. The RejuvaLight is a safe, non-invasive machine, that allows the patient to lie back and relax under the diodes and receive treatment in comfort. The RejuvaLight uses Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) which penetrate the skin to replenish, heal and smooth. The RejuvaLight provides effective and painless treatment, which is easily administered, non- ablative and non-thermal. It is ideal for combination therapy and is suitable for all skin types, but especially for those who suffer from acne or have acne scarring. The RejuvaLight emits both red and blue light either alone or simultaneously. The blue light is absorbed by chemicals within the bacterial cells in the skin. These porphyrin molecules absorb light energy to create "free radicals" known as "singlet oxygen atoms". These free oxygen radicals are very reactive, and destroy the bacterial cells. The effect of specific blue light wavelengths can therefore be used to assist in clearing troublesome acne infections. In teenage acne, excessive production of sebum through hormonal changes at puberty assist bacteria in becoming established within the skin seat gland pores and blue light wavelengths have become part of the control procedure and elimination of Acne Vulgaris. Later life acne - caused especially in women due to hormonal changes can also benefit from diode light therapy. The Red light wavelengths assist in improving elasticity. Their immediate surface effect is to remove fine lines and wrinkles and assist in plumping the skin. After The Treatment There are no side effects from using the RejuvaLight, and the skin shows no sign of any interference at all. The healing process happens deep within the skin and results can be seen gradually. Patients are able to have the treatment for up to 30 minutes each session, and the treatment can be administered as often as desired. end |
