- How Does it Work?
LED and microcurrent is a approach to maximize facial rejuvenation by a non-invasive method, respecting the physiology and biology of the skin and muscles, addressing the concerns from the inside. These energy sources provide greater wrinkle reduction, tighter facial contour and eliminates undesirable pigmentation and redness without epidermal injuries. Suitable to all skin types, colors and aging with a wide variety of treatment combinations available.
LED light therapy causes no thermal damage, yet it can easily penetrate down to dermis where parts of the cells get stimulated into doing what they normally do but at a much higher rate. When the cells that create collagen or elastin in the skin is exposed to LED photo rejuvenation they will create more collagen and elastin faster, like they did when you were younger. It's a natural photo-biochemical reaction that's similar to photosynthesis in plants; it works by triggering the body to convert light energy into cell energy and address lax muscle tone fine lines, acne, uneven pigmentation/discoloration, sun damage, chronic redness and dull skin.
Microcurrent mirrors the body's own electrical impulses. Microcurrent aids in the penetration of products, and by sending a certain amount of energy it boosts the cellular energy in muscles as electricity travels almost instantaneously throughout the body. Like all forms of electrical therapy microcurrent increases circulation, thereby increasing oxygen flow, decreasing edema, stimulating the lymphatic system and the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell. All food turns into ATP before it is utilized by cells. ATP provides the chemical energy that drives chemcial reactions within the cell for building proteins, contracting muscles and other biological functions.
- What results should I expect?
These energy sources work on several levels of the skin:
On an Epidermal level you will notice decreased pore size, increased cell renewal, production, decreased redness and pigmentation problems.
On a Dermal level the fiber- blast cells get stimulated increasing collagen production while decreasing destruction of collagen fibers resulting in smoother skin and decreased wrinkles. Melanin formation is disrupted and bacterial activity is decreased.
Muscular level: Lift of sagging muscles and restored muscle tone.
- What Can I Expect During And Post Treatment?
Treatments are comfortable and painless leaving the outer skin intact so you can return to regular activities immediately following treatment.
- Has research been done on this technology?
Scientific research reveals that cells respond directly to light energy. Studies have been done at the Mayo Clinic and NASA. Reseach has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy.
NASA discovered that Red light at 640nm has been found to stimulate a healing response in the body.
- How Many Treatments Will I Need?
LumiLift maintains a cumulative effect and a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results. Treatments can be performed 1-3 times a week and a series is usually 10-12 treatments depending on the severity of the skin condition and your expectation level. Catharina will consult and create an individual treatment program based on your needs.
To maintain the desired results one treatment every 4-8 weeks is recommended, performed individually or in conjunction with your regular facial routine
The results will continue to work after each treatment.
