GentleWaves Provides Mild Laser Skin Resurfacing for Eye Wrinkles and Damage to Delicate Skin

The beauty of cosmetic technology in this day and age is our ability to treat the most delicate skin and subtle skin damage with laser skin care. GentleWaves laser skin resurfacing is so temperate, it successfully reduces fine lines, fine wrinkles, and pore size on the face, it can diminish irregular pigmentation on the neck, chest and lower legs, and it is safe to use in the reduction of scar tissue.

The most sensitive skin on our face is around the eyes, and most lasers, chemical peels and Microdermabrasion require the eyes to be covered or avoided to prevent damage from the treatment. GentleWaves laser wrinkle removal is so mild the FDA has approved this non-thermal treatment specifically for wrinkles around the eyes.

GentleWaves is a low intensity light therapy which utilizes a technology called Photomodulation that can increase or decrease cellular activity. Photomodulation is an emission of coded light pulses. Your skin cells respond differently to each distinctive code of light. Mitochondria in collagen cells are activated to stimulate more collagen growth. At the same time, enzymes that cause the skin to age and breakdown are inhibited. Over time, both of these simultaneous processes improve the skin's tone and texture revealing a smooth, creamy, youthful complexion.

GentleWaves treatments are like a very relaxing, luxurious spa therapy.  The GentleWaves light source unit is then positioned in front of the treatment area for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. There is no pain, no need for anesthesia, no harm to your skin, no need to heal and therefore, no recovery time.

A GentleWaves treatment regimen generally consists of 8 to 10 treatments once or twice a week. After the initial regimen, maintenance appointments are recommended every 6 to 8 weeks.

Because GentleWaves is such a mild treatment, results are seen gradually and less dramatically than other harsher or more invasive procedures. As your regimen continues, you will see an increase of your skin's radiance, a decrease of wrinkles and lines, and diminished freckles and age spots, which will continue for up to 6 months after your regimen has ended.
