LED Therapy History Contourlight Background
Contourlight therapy is based on LED technology and is the application of light energy to the body for aesthetic benefits. It promotes a natural photo biochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. NASA’s Space Program has proven that LED light therapy (near-infrared) promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen – the foundation of a healthy and smooth skin.
Research has shown that LED Light Therapy may help to smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase the lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types and will not abrade any part of your skin, is non-invasive, painless, with absolutely no downtime. Clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.
Scientifically Proven in Clinical Trials LED light therapy has been scientifically proven by over 300 clinical trials to re-regulate cellular function in the treatment of many common conditions, restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Contrasted to many widely accepted therapies where vital tissue is intentionally damaged to illicit a healing response in the affected area of the body, using LED light to “re-energize” cellular function in a non-invasive manner allows the body to maintain vitality as nature intended.
“LED reacts with cytochromes in the body,” explains Dr. Harry Whelan, professor of pediatric neurology and director of hyperbaric medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “Cytochromes are the parts of cells that respond to light and color. When cytochromes are activated, their energy levels go up, and that stimulates tissue growth and regeneration.”
Red and Blue Light Benefits include:
Increased skin radiance
Firms aged and tired skin
More consistent skin coloration/complexion
Increases moisture retention
Increases circulation
Promotes Collagen production
Increases oxygenation and restoration of cellular activity
ncreases lymphatic drainage/detoxifies
Reduces inflammation in conditions such as acne and rosacea
Reduces sebum/controls breakouts
Softens fine lines and periorbital wrinkles
Evens out mottled complexion
Tightening of enlarged pores
Do LED Treatments work on everyone?
LED treatments are proven to work on all skin types. Women who are pregnant, and clients with Epilepsy, should consult their physician before beginning LED light therapy treatments. You must wait five days after Botox or cosmetic fillers. Caution will be taken with medications that are known to cause light sensitivity.
Are there any special preparations required before using Contourlight?
Contourlight should be in close proximity with the skin, which should be free of clothing, make-up, or anything else which may deflect the light away from the skin.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends largely on the severity of the skin condition that is being treated, and how much improvement is needed. For optimal results, the recommended frequency of red or blue LED light treatments is one 30-minute session two times a week for 4-6 weeks. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 30-60 days.
