FACIAL FOR WRINKLES AND MAINTAINCE
LIGHT THERAPY BY LIGHTSTIM®
LIGHTSTIM® is a form of low level light therapy (or to simplify things: LLLT). Light puts out energy in the form of photons; when our cells absorb these photons they convert them to ATP, which is the energy our cells need to perform their normal functions. Much like the process plants go through to convert sunlight into energy, skin absorbs LLLT and converts it to energy.
Now, what does all of this have to do with your skins health? Our cells use ATP to repair (heal damage) and regenerate new (young and healthy) cells. On top of increasing cell energy, different colors of light offer different therapeutic abilities. Blue light destroys acne causing bacteria. Amber light builds collagen and elastin (think firm, youthful skin!). Red light improves circulation (increased blood and oxygen to cells) and reduces inflammation (heat, pain, redness, swelling). Infrared light speeds up healing, reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and allows product to penetrate deeper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Can Benefit From This Treatment?
Ideal for sluggish, stressed skin depleted by toxins.
Ideal for special events for its rosy flush and a radiant, healthy look that lasts several days.
Perfect in-between peels to accelerate healing.
Highly beneficial for inflamed acne.
Is there a difference between the colored lights?
Yes. Blue LED light is often used to treat acne and has a positive effect in reducing Propionibacterium acnes (P.acne commonly found in hormonal acne), the acne-causing bacteria. Red LED light is considered rejuvenating and healing. It has the deepest tissue penetration of the visible spectrum and has ben shown to stimulate fibroblasts, leading to an increase in collagen production.
Are all Light Therapy facials the same?
No other lights shine as bright as the LightStim®.

DermaEsthetics Moisture B5 Serum - Concentrated, moisturizing serum formulated with Vitamin B-5 Complex to supply dry, tight, sensitive skin with hydration properties while improving upon skin strength. A high concentration of Co-Q10, known to combat premature aging caused by free radicals, is used to help provide a healthy sensation of skin fitness.
Don’t forget SPF IS A MUST! DermaEsthetics EGF FGF DNA Sun Protection formulated with EGF, FGF, & DNA growth factors shields against both UVA & UVB rays. A one of a kind SPF that not only protects but aids with aging.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET MY SKIN TREATMENT READY?

No face injectables or fillers, e.g. botox.
-
No face waxing, threading, depilatory creams, bleaching.
-

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO LED LIGHT THERAPY
-
Medications that cause light sensitivity (such as Tetracycline)
-
As with any cosmetic procedure, there is always a risk of complications
-
Cancers that are actively growing, especially carcinomas, should not be exposed to red light therapy. Carcinomas are cancers that begin in epithelial tissues, commonly the skin, making them maximally exposed to the impact of red light therapy.
-
If you suffer from lupus erythematosus, photosensitive eczema or albinism you may cause a severe skin reaction.
-
People with epilepsy may be at risk for having a seizure when using red light therapy. Inherent to almost any light source is a phenomena called flicker. Flicker can be invisible to the eye, but causes rapid fluctuation in the intensity of light. People with epilepsy may be susceptible to flicker in red light panels and could experience a seizure if the flicker is severe or if they are particularly sensitive.
-
If you suffer from any photosensitive disorder (sensitization to light) you may cause a severe skin reaction.
-
A LED Light treatment cannot be performed if skin is rosacea because heat based treatments are likely to cause further inflammation and redness
-
A LED Light Therapy treatment cannot be performed if you have broken blood vessels or capillaries because heat based treatments are likely to cause further inflammation.
