Rejuvalight studied present technology and created an instrument combining Red and Blue light emitting diodes.This allows both Red and Blue light wavelength treatments using the same instrument. The advantage of using LED’s as the light source is that they produce no heat and is therefore “kinder” to skin tissues.
Light emitting diodes (LED’s) are now at the forefront of aesthetic dermatology.The treatment of Acne Vulgaris, pain management, wound healing, rejuvenation of photo aged skin are being enhanced by the use of specific wavelengths delivered by LED’s
Blue and Red Light Wavelengths
Blue light wavelengths (approx: 400 - 450nm) do not penetrate deeply but have been shown to have very specific effects. In particular, on bacterial cells established within the sweat pores and glands and are the cause of Acne Vulgaris.
Blue light is absorbed by chemicals within the bacterial cells. 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.
Red light wavelengths (approx: 600 – 850nm) are more penetrative, and reach the structures in the deeper skin layers below the epidermis. They affect the fibroblasts and cells that manufacture collagen and elastin fibres that give the skin its elasticity and flexibility. As humans age, the elastic capability of the skin is reduced.
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.
INFORMATION
The RejuvaLight Diode Light Therapy is a premier performing LED (light emitting diodes) system, which delivers safe, painless, non-ablative and non-invasive treatments for Acne Vulgaris and skin rejuvenation.
RejuvaLight Blue Light wavelengths are utilised to effectively treat acne by inhibiting the P.acnes bacteria responsible for the inflammation in the skins sebaceous glands.
RejuvaLight Red Light provides a natural method of skin rejuvenation through the body’s biological response to light energy. It promotes wound healing and accelerates the body’s natural ability to repair its own tissue.
The Red and Blue Light wavelengths can be used selectively or combined for optimal effect.
The energy delivered by the LEDs:
- Combats Acne bacterial colonisation
- Enhances cellular metabolism and microvascular circulation,
- Assists the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells
- Encourages and regenerates the production of elastin and collagen
- Restores the skin’s natural cellular collagen activity
- Stimulates detoxification
- Increases hydration and improves skin’s ability to retain moisture
