Patient Treatments

With LIGHTWAVE and ABI Dermaceuticals there's a new way to reverse the signs of aging and damage to help ensure your inner brilliance shines through. LIGHTWAVE Rejuvenation can dramatically revitalize your skin without any downtime or discomfort. This innovative aesthetic treatment helps counteract years of sun damage, environmental damage, aging, acne and acne scarring. It provides noticeable results, often in a couple of treatments, without the high cost and downtime of other more expensive treatment options.

Each individual responds differently; some notice changes much more quickly than others. The following principles are generalities; specific results will vary from client to client based on the client  needs and lifestyle. The following protocols have been designed to address the most common requested treatments. All treatments are between 15-30 minutes in duration.

What to expect: LIGHTWAVE and ABI treatments are simple and easy. The amount of time you spend at your skin care specialist may vary based on your individual skin care needs. You can expect an individual LIGHTWAVE treatment to take up 30 minutes and allow for an additional 20 minutes for pre and post ABI care. Its so simple and fast that many patients have treatments during a lunch break or on a quick stop on the way to or from work. However, the relaxing, euphoric effect usually last throughout the day.

Anti Aging

A 20 minute session designed to re-hydrate the face, and increase collagen and elastin formation resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It aids in decreasing flaccidity, lifting sagging tissues and restoring skin tone and texture resulting in an overall improvement erasing years from the face. Ten treatments are recommended. Maintenance once a month or as needed can prolong the youthful appearance.

Cellulite

Using powerful red light, this 20 minute session focuses on increasing circulation to the dermis bringing more nutrients to the area of concern. The IR stimulates lymphatic drainage, leaving the skin smooth with improved tone and texture. LIGHTWAVE Therapy can help control cellulite when applied regularly and followed up by monthly maintenance. A client is always encouraged to compliment treatment with a balanced diet and moderate exercise.

Scars

A 20 minute session uses powerful Infrared and red light to stimulate the reduction of fibrotic tissue and the replacement of normal tissue. Clients usually notice softening of scar tissue. They also notice flattening and widening of the scar. This is a normal sequence in scar reduction. With several more sessions the flat, wide scar will become thinner and remain flat. Some scars may appear to be resistant to this program (hypertrophic and/or keloid). If this is the case, a customized LIGHTWAVE treatment protocol and/or additional treatment options may need to be considered.

Stretch Marks

A 20 minute session designed to help break down the denser sub dermal scarring while stimulating superficial circulation, reducing flaccidity and thickening the thin, paper-like characteristics of stretch marks. It assists in softening and flattening thick stretch marks. Often with a series of stretch mark treatments you will need to anticipate at least a series of ten treatments. Darker skin may require slightly more sessions. In some cases, aggressive exfoliation may be needed.

Flaccid Skin

A 20 minute session that focuses on skin retraction by increasing circulation and bringing nutrition to damaged tissue. This program is particularly effective over the abdomen, neck and upper chest. Treatments should be applied twice per week and may require between ten - fifteen treatments.

Pigmentation

A 20 minute session intended to improve discoloration caused by sun damage, chemical build-up, and chemical reactions from chemical peels, and excessive use of skin damaging products. This process normalizes the melanin within the skin. The amount of treatments needed vary depending on the amount of damage to the skin, the thickness of the skin and the age of the client. Severe conditions such as Melasma may be best treated with a combination therapy of topical ointments such as hydroquinone and/or IPL and/or laser followed by LIGHTWAVE Therapy.

Preventative Care

This concentrated 20 minute session is designed to increase blood circulation and bring more nutrients to the skins surface which helps to keep the skin from breaking down. It also helps to normalize dry or oily skin, achieving an overall improvement in skin tone and texture.

Discomfort

A 20 minute session specifically designed to address inflammation associated with trauma and/or an allergic reaction that causes discomfort with a focus on clients who experience persistent problems such as joint and muscle discomfort. It is also used within 72 hours of any traumatic event including post-surgical interventions to reduce scarring and encourage normal tissue formation

Thinning Hair

A 20 minute session designed to increase superficial circulation to the capillaries and scalp area, improving the health of the hair (shine, thickness and fullness) as well as the hair follicle itself. However, if the hair follicle has been in the resting phase for a long period of time and does not show any signs of growth, it is very unlikely a client will respond favorably to the treatments and that new hair growth will occur. It is important to treat thinning hair as soon as possible in order to keep blood flow and nutrients moving to the dormant hair follicles. This program is often used as a follow-up for hair transplant patients.

Mild to Moderate Acne (Blue/Red Combo)

An effective 30 minute session designed to repair damaged skin and significantly reduce the P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for causing inflammatory acne vulgaris. 15 minutes of Blue light first enters the sebaceous glands and singlet oxygen is created. Singlet oxygen then in turn kills the bacteria. Next, the client is exposed to 15 minutes of red light. This acne treatment aids in the healing process of the skin and prevents infection and scarring from occurring.
