| The use of red light is
the most powerful & effective way to stimulate the
production of collagen & elastin in the skin. Fine
lines and wrinkles result trough the lack of
collagen and elastin in the skin. Red light
penetrates into the dermis layer of the skin,
energizing the cells, thereby helping to create
collagen and elastin, much the same as when you were
younger. Collagen helps to plump up the skin, while
elastin helps to firm the skin thus diminishing fine
lines and wrinkles. It’s that simple!
What is Photo Rejuvenation Red Light Therapy?
Photo Rejuvenation or Red Light Therapy is the
use of light to create an anti-aging effect on the
skin and is quickly becoming recognized as one of
the safest,fastest and most affordable ways to
achieve younger, more vibrant looking skin.
Why use Red Light Therapy?
It’s non-invasive, requires no surgery, no harsh
chemicals, no lasers, there is no downtime or
recovery time, it’s safe for all skin types, and
most importantly IT WORKS! It is today’s natural
skin care at its finest. The process is also
universally known as the ‘no knife face-lift’.
How to use it.
The “Collagen Plus” red
light photo therapy program recommends 3 to 4
sessions a week for 60 to 90 days, followed
thereafter by 1 to 2 sessions a week. Best results
are achieved by continuous use, which accelerates
cellular activity and fuels the process of collagen
and elastin synthesis.
Over time “Collagen plus” red light therapy will
help restore tired-looking skin, decrease fine lines
and wrinkles, diminish freckles, age spots, and
acne, even out pigmentation, minimize the size of
facial pores, improve the appearance of
sun-weathered skin, and stimulate collagen
synthesis, improving the skin’s supportive
structure.
There are no known counter-indications.
Protective eyewear is recommended, but not required.
Discontinuing the red light
therapy typically results in the gradual loss of
results over the course of time, as the normal skin
aging.

LIGHT SPECTRUM
|
Blue/violet photo-therapy provides
different benefits. Unlike the red/infrared therapy, the blue
works as a vasoconstrictor. This may have certain benefits in
treating conditions such as Rosacea. Additionally, the blue
photo-therapy is approved by the FDA for treatment of acne. The
blue works by helping to control the p. acne bacteria living on
and in the skin. In many cases, the blue light actually kills
the bacteria. There are also green light devices providing a
similar benefit. Please keep in mind that you would normally not
need both a green and blue device. One or the other should
suffice. In addition to these benefits, there are other benefits
from photo-therapy that are not mentioned above and are
important to many clients.
Photo-therapy has
no reported side effects. This does not mean, however,
that it can be used indiscriminately with other products that
may themselves cause side effects.
A physician should be consulted if
light sensitive medication is prescribed.
Photo-therapy is pain free. This is an
attractive bonus in attracting clients who fear
microdermabrasion, collagen injections, Botox, or laser
resurfacing due to pain. Some clients may experience brief
warmth or “glow” following treatment. Photo-therapy has no
downtime. You clients can put their make-up on immediately after
treatments. They can go in the sun and in water. Photo-therapy
has the broadest range of application. You can treat Acneic
clients on Accutane or Retin-A, as well as treat other skin
conditions not manageable with microdermabrasion or chemical
peels. Combination of treatments. You may combine photo-therapy
with microdermabrasion, peels, products, etc. It will only
enhance the benefits of these other treatments.

ABOUT COLLAGEN LIGHT
| In over 40
years of independent research worldwide (especially Russia
and Europe), intense red and infrared light therapy
(photo-therapy) has shown powerful therapeutic benefits to
living tissues. The cosmetic use of light therapy has grown
dramatically over the past decade as physicians and
aestheticians discovered the healing affect of light on the
skin. Presently, many physicians use laser based light
therapy in conjunction with their other treatment modalities
to improve client appearance. The more recent development of
non-laser, light therapy, devices has brought photo-therapy
out of the physician’s office and placed it in the hands of
aestheticians and skin care specialists. Current estimates
suggest that over 3,000 skin care locations nationwide are
using photo-therapy with many satisfied clients. The
machines currently in use for cosmetic purposes typically
utilize a pulsed combination of visible yellow, amber, red,
and infrared light. Both visible red (620nm - 700nm) and
invisible infrared light (700nm - 1200nm) clearly show at
least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level.
Visible red light, at a wavelength of 620 to 700nm (nanometers),
penetrates human tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm. Skin
layers, because of their high blood and water content,
easily absorb red light. It is extremely beneficial in
treating problems close to the surface such as wrinkles, age
spots, broken capillaries, wounds, cuts, and scars, trigger
points, and have shown particular effectiveness in treating
infections. Infrared light at 950nm penetrates to a depth of
about 30-40 mm which makes it more effective for bones,
joints, deep muscles, etc. Although both red and infrared
wavelengths penetrate to different depths and affect tissues
differently, their therapeutic effects are similar.
Wavelength dependent photobiochemical reactions occur
throughout nature and are involved in such things as vision,
photosynthesis, tanning and Vitamin D metabolism. In this
view, red and infrared intense light is really a form of
phototherapy. Cosmetic use of this therapy has produced no
reported discomfort or side effects. Several studies
establish that it is the light itself at specific
wavelengths that are therapeutic in nature and not the
machine that produced it. As such, there is no therapeutic
difference between Lasers, Fluorescent and LED therapy. All
biological systems have a unique absorption spectrum that
determines what wavelengths of radiation will be absorbed to
produce a given therapeutic effect. The visible red and
invisible infrared portions of the spectrum have been shown
to have highly absorbent and unique therapeutic effects in
living tissues, particularly the skin, connective, and
muscle tissue. |
What does
photo-therapy treatment do?
- Increases circulation by
increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are
additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New
capillaries speed up the healing process in damaged skin
by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed
for healing and they can also carry more waste products
away.
- Stimulates the production of
collagen. Collagen is a major component of the
connective tissue in the skin that creates strength and
flexibility. Over time, the collagen levels in our skin
decrease, causing wrinkles to form. External factors
such as sun damage and smoking can also accelerate this
process. Collagen is the essential protein used to
repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is
the substance that holds cells together and has a high
degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production
less scar tissue is formed in damaged tissue. It also
helps to draw fluids to the area.
- Reduces hyper pigmentation
or age spots
- Stimulates fibroblastic
activity, which aids in the tissue repair process.
Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are
capable of forming collagen fibers.
Stimulates tissue granulation and
connective tissue projections, which are part of the healing
process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.
As you can readily see,
photo-therapy (light therapy) actually heals the skin and
supporting tissues. No other treatment you can provide to
your clients can have such a beneficial effect.
Photo-therapy essentially works at
the cellular level. Each cell contains a number of power
plants, called mitochondria. The function of these power
plants is to produce ATP, the form of energy that can be
used by the cell to function properly. The inner
mitochondrial membrane is a large collector surface folded
onto a small total volume. All nutritive molecules (fats,
proteins and glucose) are oxidized within the cell to the
last molecular nutritive component, that is, pyruvate. The
pyruvate is then imported into the cellular power plant,
where it disintegrates into carbon dioxide and water in the
immediate proximity of the collector surface of the
mitochondrion. The molecular bond energy thus released,
which corresponds with visible, ultraviolet and infrared
light as far as its wavelength and frequency is concerned,
is utilized by the mitochondrion to produce the cellular
fuel ATP. The collector surface of our cellular power plant
is enlarged by the mushroomshaped protrusions of the inner
mitochondrial membrane. The molecular bond energy of the
pyruvate is released in the form of light energy. The
antennae pigments are capable of absorbing this light energy
and transmit it to our cellular power plant, which can now
produce the cellular fuel ATP. The natural solar radiation
also stimulates the antennae pigments of the mitochondrion
to produce ATP.
No other skin care treatment can
stimulate the healing process with the efficiency and
effectiveness of red light photo-therapy.
