WHAT IS PHOTOTHERAPY?
Phototherapy is a 100% safe, non-invasive procedure that emits beams of natural light without UVA and UVB at specific frequencies. In this way, it activates the photoreceptors of the cells and enhances the regeneration of skin tissues, increases the production of collagen and elastin as well as other skin proteins that function as the skin’s structural material. Thus renewal of the skin of the face and neck is achieved
TARGET AUDIENCE;
It is aimed at all ages and all skin types, since it is a natural treatment, non-invasive, safe, completely painless and effective from the 1st session and has no recovery time.
WHERE IS IT INDICATED?
It is mainly indicated for:
- Dealing with laxity
- Smoothing fine expression lines
- Activates the skin’s natural functions (e.g. collagen, elastin)
- Restoration of the skin from photoaging
- Relief of skin irritations and inflammations (e.g. sensitivity and redness)
- Fights against Propionibacterium acnes
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Elasticity and hydration
- Reduces scarring, dryness and itching caused by psoriasis and eczema.
HOW DOES IT WORK;
Visible natural light emits at 400-760nm, unlike the sun’s UVA-UVB rays that emit at 190-400nm. Solar ultraviolet radiation causes photoaging and skin cancer, in contrast to visible natural light that has a powerful regenerative, antiaging and healing effect on the skin.
Red light:
Red light emits at 630nm and has the ability to stimulate fibroblasts and inhibit the action of collagenase (the enzyme responsible for destroying collagen as we age). So with red light we have an increase in the cellular functions of the skin, an acceleration of the cellular healing process, a thickening and redistribution of the fibers and an increase in the natural production of collagen and elastin.
Blue light:
The blue light emits at 415nm and fights acne propionibacterium (P Acnes), and has an anti-inflammatory effect. At the same time, it also acts on the sebaceous glands, limiting sebum production and shrinking dilated pores, offering a healthy appearance to acne-prone skin. Blue light is ideal for anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory treatments.
Purple or Violet light:
It is the combination of red and blue light. That is, it offers the regenerative properties of cells, antiaging, and antibacterial action. In addition, it acts through the skin and on the immune system, soothing any inflammations and speeding up the healing processes. The result is a skin that is calmer, smoother, more elastic and younger.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
It has absolutely no side effects as we are referring to an extremely natural process and function of the skin itself. It is completely painless with zero recovery time.
The duration of the treatment is 15-30′. The frequency of treatments can be from 1-3 times a week. For a complete program, 10 treatment sessions can be completed. It is combined with all the treatments of our clinic, even the most invasive ones.
