LIGHTWAVE and ABI Dermaceuticals have teamed up to bring you a potent medical grade hydrating gel formulated to significantly speed up the repair process achieved during light therapy and other light-based treatments. ABI’s Hydrating Recovery Gel is unsurpassed by any light-based topical in the industry and is geared toward producing noticeable, lasting results.

Recently, scientists out of Germany, Andrei P. Sommer and Dan Zhu have documented the positive effects the topical application of green tea can have on the skin when used in conjunction with light therapy. In order to understand why green tea is so powerful, it is first important to understand how light can impact the body.  Clients, who have previously been exposed to free radical damage from environmental factors prior to starting a light based treatment, can have elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) present in the body. An excess of ROS can significantly inhibit the cellular repair process and delay rejuvenation progression. LED, IPL, laser and other light based treatments help to significantly increase cellular growth and repair aged skin. On the other hand, as light speeds up the cellular metabolism process and cellular activity, ROS and waste are also produced as a byproduct.  In many cases, during light therapy, the body will create powerful internal antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) to alleviate any excess ROS and waste. However, if the ROS levels stay elevated and the body is unable to dispose of the excess, it can substantially delay the rejuvenation process.

Now that we have established that excess ROS can slow down the rejuvenation process, how do we prevent this from occurring? Sommer and Zhu have found that by utilizing the powerful ROS scavenger known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which is extracted from green tea, we can lower the levels of ROS within the body. When applied daily in high concentrations, this antioxidant can reduce the presence of ROS and prolong the life of the cells responsible for transporting extracelluar metabolic waste from the basal membrane to the top layer of the epidermis, resulting in accelerated rejuvenation of the skin.¹

In order to ensure the fastest and best possible results from your light-based treatment, LIGHTWAVE and ABI have developed an aloe based gel that contains several medical grade ingredients including a high concentration of ECGC. This invaluable product will help to ensure your clients’ ROS level remains low and your results remain high. Login to our Professional Resource Center to see the complete ingredient listing.
