coloured light therapies
light up your life
“During times of economic uncertainty, differentiation is key,” saysAngela Barbagelata-Fabes, Chairman of The CarltonGroup. “How can you increase your kerb side appeal and encourage clients into your salon? One recent innovation whichmay interest existing clients and drive new ones to your door is coloured light therapy.”
Coloured light therapy is a relatively new treatment option that some peoplemay not be familiar with, but can benefit clients of all ages treating a host of different skin complaints.
Put simply, coloured light therapy using LED lights is a non-invasive procedure that activates skin cells with pulses of low-level, non-thermal light energy. LED therapy converts light energy within the skin cells, stimulating natural processes to help rejuvenate the skin.
how it works
“The dermis needs light to supply cells with energy to stimulate collagen production, blood circulation and lymph circulation,” explains SonnyWhite,Managing Director of DermaCo. “The LED light therapy stimulates citochromes (proteins) that respond to light and colour to produce a natural biochemical reaction to the
skin...The colour used influences the response to the skin.”
Different colours therefore have different effects on the skin, and can be used in
different combinations depending on the skin problemthat is being treated. Green cools and reduces redness, blue reduces swelling and offers antibacterial effects for the treatment of acne, red rejuvenates and stimulates the lymphatic system, whilst yellow tones and smoothes the skin, as well as promoting the production of collagen.
versatile and flexible
“One of the outstanding features of light therapy is its versatility, not only in the respect that it can treat a wide range of skin conditions, but also in the fact that it can be applied to virtually any client after any previous treatment,” states John Birtwistle, Managing Director of Silhouette International. “This flexibilitymeans that integrating light therapy to a client’s existing facial routine with your salon is a great way to introduce new treatments to themarket in your area.”
light activated
The Bio-Synthesis™light activated rejuvenation systemfromBioTherapeutic utilises high intensity LED lights ranging fromred, yellow, green and blue (470nmto 640nm). It includes a user-friendly touch screen control panel with seven preset functions that allow the skin therapist to easily address specific client concerns.
It also has amanualmode that allows the therapist to quickly create unique services by adjusting the nanometer, hertz, light intensity, and service time.Applications are convenient and hands-free with an intelligently designed six way adjustable Synthesis panel, and nearly 3000 individual lights formaximumand consistent coverage of the face, neck, and décolleté.
The systemalso comes complete with a light activated Chromatic™product system that expedites age defying results, as well maintains firmer younger looking skin when used daily.
The Bio-Synthesis also has a new pre- programmedmode specifically designed to help reverse the signs of sun
damage.The powerful sequential combination of red and green LED help bring visible results to skin’s texture and luminosity, and with Bio- Therapeutic’s powerful 1000 LEDs of each nanometer, service timemay be cut while stillmaintaining the effectiveness.
Alternatively, the CACI Ultimate uses a four-step process using LED light therapy to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration and visibly diminish sun damage, blemishes, acne and
scarring.The system also features orbitalmicrodermabrasion technology uses silicone carbide coated disposable tips to refine, smooth, and revitalise the skin’s surface.Micro impulses use an electro-magnetic frequency tomimic the body’s bioelectrical field and restore facialmuscle tone and elasticity, and the uniqueWrinkle Comb handset targets and plumps out fine lines and wrinkles providing a painless alternative to dermal fillers.
The system’s wrinkle comb combines LED photo stimulation with high frequency
microcurrent.The synergy of these two technologies plumps out and softens lines, wrinkles and stretchmarks, thereby providing a non-invasive, needle free alternative to collagen injections and other dermal
fillers.The systemhas the option to select red or blue LED photo stimulation or an alternating pulsed LEDmode that is particularly effective at treating acne and skin blemishes.
