Light Emitting Diodes (LED)

LED is a revolutionary breakthrough in cosmetic enhancement that offers a natural, quick and painless approach to skin rejuvenation. LED relies on non-thermal technology to reduce the visible signs of aging from within. The process does not use heat or thermal energy to correct skin appearance, but instead triggers a photobiochemical process that interacts with cells and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to promote younger, healthier looking skin. LED is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and mottled skin tone.

OVERVIEW
Trillium Creek medical professionals use the GentleWaves LED system, which allows the unique ability to offer "skin fitness" to patients. With GentleWaves LED, Trillium Creek medical professionals are able to restore skin so it looks great on the outside while getting healthier and stronger from within. GentleWaves also provides a more affordable and pain-free alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery and other photofacial rejuvenation methods. LED is more gentle than other light-based treatments and is a good option for those not ready for lasers.

TREATMENT
Wearing protective eye shields, patients are positioned directly in front of the LED device for a predetermined amount of time. The treatment is completely pain free and many patients find it relaxing. The energy generated by the LEDs is cool and gentle enough to treat all skin types.

Exposure typically ranges from 6 to 10 minutes. Your Trillium Creek medical professional will decide on the best exposure for your treatment. A series of sessions is required before significant results are noticed, although stimulation of collagen and elastin production occurs with the first treatment.

RESULTS
Results are long-lasting and improve with each session. However, since skin continues to age, maintenance will be required to continue to enjoy the full benefits of treatment.
