No Down-Time, No Problem! Using LEDs to Improve the Appearance of Your Skin

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

For my patients whose lifestyle doesn’t allow for “down-time” with cosmetic procedures or they prefer treatments that improve the appearance of skin without injections, heat generating lasers or chemicals, I will often recommend the use of a LED (light emitting diode) device along with good skin care products.

LEDs are the latest technology in skin rejuvenation.  The harmless, pulsating light emitted from these devices stimulates skin cells to increase collagen production over time, while also slowing the breakdown of existing collagen.  By building collagen, wrinkles are reduced and skin retains a more radiant appearance.  LED treatments are non-invasive, meaning they are painless and do not damage the skin.  For the best results, patients should plan on a series of treatments with some maintenance.  In addition to improving the overall tone of the skin, the FDA has approved the use of LEDs in the effective treatment of peri-orbital wrinkles or “crow’s feet.”

In the office we offer the Gentlewaves LED treatment.   It can be used to treat the face, decolletage, neck or whatever area you are looking to improve.  It takes less than a minute and has no downtime.

To treat smaller areas of skin, like around the eyes or lips, we sell the Omnilux new-U LED hand-held device.  It also stimulates collagen production, is FDA approved and allows you to treat at your convenience.

GentleWaves and Omnilux new-U both improve the look of your skin and help minimize signs of aging over time.  They can be used by any skin type and in addition to any skin care program.  LED treatments have also been shown to speed recovery of post-procedure skin and sunburns.

Please contact the office for additional treatment details.
