GentleWaves® – The Gentle Way to Skin Rejuvenation

Give your skin the ultimate workout! This is the latest and greatest tool in the fight against wrinkles. GentleWaves® is a non-harming, no-heat wrinkle treatment that also reduces pore size and pigmentation to produce smoother, more youthful looking skin.

These light therapy treatments are painless and recovery is instantaneous, so you can immediately return to your normal activities. There is absolutely no downtime! A great treatment protocol incorporates both GentleWaves® and microdermabrasion for optimal results.

How does GentleWaves® work?

The technology used called LED Photomodulation has been FDA approved. Photomodulation is a light therapy that emits coded pulses of light in ‘packets’ that the exposed skin will absorb. The cells that make up the skin will receive and have different reactions to the coded light pulses. This low-intensity light therapy can increase or decrease cellular activity – in other words, GentleWaves can increase collagen production while decreasing the production of enzymes that break down and age the skin. This process is very similar to plant photosynthesis, whereby plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks. GentleWaves®delivers this light in a unique, pulsing sequence that is administered in less than a minute.

How is GentleWaves®different from Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Laser therapy?

Other light-based skin therapies, including intense pulsed light and laser treatments, operate by gently injuring the skin’s collagen, water, and blood vessels to stimulate positive changes in the skin and its appearance. GentleWaves® does not rely on heat energy instead using gentle LED’s that emit less energy than a 25-watt light bulb to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin – without skin tissue injury or patient discomfort!

What does GentleWaves® treat?

GentleWaves® is a wrinkle treatment – that reduces scars, uneven pigmentation and enlarged pores. Your skin becomes smoother and looks more radiant – refreshed! Results are typically seen in the third or fourth treatment, and improvements continue through six months after the treatments are finished. GentleWaves® can also be used to treat the redness of sunburn!

How many treatments will I need?

For best results a series of 8 to 10 treatments are usually recommended over a period of weeks. For maintaining your benefit, monthly touchups are recommended.

Will the treatments hurt?

No. GentleWaves®is a truly pain-free skin rejuvenation procedure. Treatments are quick and very relaxing.  Since the technology does not rely on heat, it can safely and gently treat all skin types.

What will I feel after my treatments?

Within 4 to 8 treatments, skin becomes smoother and softer. Redness and brown spots will begin to fade. Changes in the skin are progressive, so even months after a series of treatments you’ll notice continued improvement in wrinkles and pore size. You can return to normal activities and apply cosmetics immediately following GentleWaves® treatments.

Can I have GentleWaves®with other treatments?

Yes. GentleWaves®is an ideal stand-alone procedure, and it can also be used in combination with other rejuvenation techniques. It can serve to enhance the results of other treatments and  it slows down the skin aging process to ensure a true, full-face improvement. We have found it to be highly complementary with other skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, Botox® and dermal fillers, as well as laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments.
