LED PHOTONLITE THERAPY

How does it work?
All cells within the body contain photon receptors that absorb light of specific colours and wavelengths. There are many colours in the visible light spectrum. They all have their own frequency and vibration which will trigger different types of cellular activity. When applied to the skin, the light energy is converted into cell energy. The light is absorbed by the cell and is dispersed evenly to stimulate the different activities.

The LED Photonlite is equipped with 3000 powerful LEDs of precisely calibrated wavelengths. It uses four medically proven primary wavelengths of red, blue, violet and green to deliver the energy at the right depth and the right target. Secondary colours are used to complement and enhance the delivery of the energy for better results.

How is LED Photonlite different from other machines?
LED Photonlite has the ability to use monochromatic (one colour) functions as well as polychromatic (combined colour) functions. Other machines on the market have the ability to use only monochromatic functions. Recent studies have shown that better results are achieved using several colours.

For example, acne treatments are better performed with a combination of blue and red light rather than blue light alone. The blue light kills the bacteria associated with acne and the red light reduces the overactivity of the sebaceous glands which also contributes to acne.

What can LED light therapy do for my skin?
LED can treat all skin types and conditions with no side effects or downtime. Examples of treatments include:

• Attacks acne causing bacteria (FDA approved)
• Reduction of open Pores
• Improvement of skin texture
• Reduction of fine wrinkles
• Skin rejuvenation
• Stimulates collagen and elastin
• Dermatitis
• Calming and inflammatory for the treatment of Diffused Redness
• Rosacea
• Assists in wound healing for the treatment of post surgical scarring
• Successfully minimises stretch marks that are still red and fresh

How many treatments are recommended?
LED Photonlite therapy is generally recommended in a course of 12 treatments twice a week. Each treatment is 20 minutes in duration; treatments need to be at least two days apart to allow the skin to rejuvenate. A maintenance program is recommended thereafter of once a month.

LED can also be used in combination with other treatments. It can enhance the efficiency of treatments such as microdermabrasion, IPL, chemical peels, wrinkle relaxants and dermal fillers.

What does LED feel like and are there any side effects?
There is no heat associated with LED light as it uses wavelengths of the visible light spectrum. It works naturally with your body to promote a healing response. A Medical Aesthetician will prepare your skin by cleansing your face and she will then position the light above you. Protective goggles are placed over your eyes. You may feel the skin tingling during the treatment.
There are no side effects associated with the procedure and you will not be red afterwards. In fact, often your skin looks better after the treatment. LED Photonlite does not use the harmful rays such as UVA, UVB or Infrared.

How do I know whether LED light therapy is suitable for me?
All clients receive a free consultation to discuss their needs and expectations, during which a skin analysis is conducted using a state-of-the-art skin imaging system: Beau Visage™. A customised “Medi-Plan” is then designed, recommending a treatment regime matched precisely to your individual needs. This may include a course of LED Photonlite Therapy, however, it may also include a combination of treatments and homecare products which will provide better results.

So, whatever your concern or skin condition, LED Photonlite therapy can help you achieve the skin you have always wanted. Call Assure Medispa on 9380 0380 for your initial free appointment.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS FROM A COMBINATION OF TREATMENTS?

As we age, our skin begins to show the wear and tear of time. Age spots, fine lines and wrinkles seem to appear overnight, the texture of our skin changes and the colour appears more uneven. These changes are all caused by environmental factors such as sun exposure, lack of sleep, smoking and alcohol consumption. Many of us don’t think about caring for or protecting our skin in our youth and thus we don’t know what to do once ageing sets in. There is something you can do and studies have shown that a combination of treatments can achieve better results in your anti-ageing war!

At Assure Medispa, we a full range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments including:

• Beau Visage TM skin imaging
• Wrinkle Relaxers and Dermal Fillers
• Skin Tightening
• Pulsed Light Treatment (IPL) for skin rejuvenation and permanent hair reduction
• Chemical Peel and Medi-facials
• Medical Skin Needling
• Microdermabrasion
• Photonlite Therapy (LED)
• Medical-grade skincare products
• Pharmaceutical grade Glo Minerals TM Makeup

We believe every person is different and has unique needs. Everyone is bothered by one aspect or another of their appearance, and we all have different skin. That is why we approach each client differently and devise a skincare prescription and combination treatment Medi-Plan specific to individual needs.

As a client at Assure Medispa, your initial appointment will be with a trained Medical Aesthetician, your skin will be analysed and photos taken. We will then discuss the different treatments or combination of treatments most likely to achieve the results you want.

What do we mean by combination treatment plan?
Studies have shown that a combination of treatments is more effective than having one treatment alone. Because our treatments are designed to treat specific concerns, with a combination plan, we can not only address your concerns but also work with you towards maintenance and protection from further damage.

For example, mature skin has lines and wrinkles as well as age spots and broken capillaries: we can address all of these concerns. Lines and wrinkles occur due to dehydration, sun damage and the fact that the skin loses collagen and elastin as it ages. Age spots are predominantly caused by sun damage, but may also occur as a result of hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy and menopause. By addressing the symptoms alone with only one form of treatment, you limit the results and the longevity of the results. Instead, we can combine treatments to address both the symptoms and the cause.

What treatments would we suggest?
After analysing your skin, we would suggest a homecare regime using medical grade skincare to prepare the skin for treatments. This will make the skin, healthier, thicker and acclimatise it to the different products to be used in the treatments. This limits the risk of adverse reactions or complications during the treatment and prolongs the treatment results. We would also suggest a physical sunblock to be used daily to protect your skin from any further damage.

To address fine lines and wrinkles, we might suggest a course of chemical peels or Medical Skin Needling specific to your skin type. By exfoliating the epidermis and allowing penetration of active ingredients into the dermis, we can thicken the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. This will improve the health of your skin, increase the production of collagen and elastin, and also improve the texture and overall colour. We could also suggest wrinkle relaxants and dermal fillers. Our Registered Nurses are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding these.

To get rid of age spots, we might suggest a course of IPL Photorejuvenation. The LimeLight Facial is a new, non-invasive approach to IPL skin rejuvenation using Cutera’s LimeLight technology. The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone and the surface imperfections associated with aging and photodamage. Generally, you would need about 3 treatments but your age spots and broken capillaries will begin to fade after each treatment until they are a thing of the past!

If you have looseness of skin around the jowls and neck, we might recommend a course of Titan Skin Tightening treatments.

By combining treatments, we can address the cause of your skin concerns and also aid in improving your skin’s overall health so it is protected from further damage. Your Medical Aesthetician will also talk to you about maintaining your new look – all part of creating a Medi-Plan that works for you. This would include products to use at home.
You can win the anti-ageing war and create a new look for yourself which is more youthful and radiant.
