LED Treatments - Through Deep Penetrating Light

Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells grow 150-200 percent faster when exposed to certain LED light wavelengths. Independent research for over 40 years has shown LED red and infrared light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue. Both visible red and infrared light has been shown to affect at least 24 different positive changes at a deep level. Visible red light, at wavelengths from 630-660 nanometers, penetrates tissue to a depth of 8-10 mm. LED light is very beneficial in treating problems close to the skins surface such as wounds, cuts, and scars. Skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily and deliver enough energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself.

LED Photons must be absorbed to produce a biological response. All biological systems have a unique absorption spectrum, this uniqueness determines which wavelengths of light will be absorbed to produce a given therapeutic effect. The visible red and infrared portions of the spectrum have been shown to be highly absorbent and produce unique restorative effects in living tissues. It is thought that light photons are absorbed by the skin and underlying tissue and triggers biological changes within the body in a process know as photobiomodulation. Although the exact mechanism of action is still undergoing study, what is know is that monochromatic light increases oxygen and blood flow, facilitating wound healing.

LED therapy is a non-invasive procedure that activates skin cells with pulses of low-level, non-thermal light energy. LED therapy converts light energy within the skin cells, like photosynthesis, which takes sunlight and converts it into food energy in plants.

LED therapy is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and mottled skin tone.

The LED skin light provides a proprietary lightwave design that penetrates deep into the skin to erase the appearance of aging - fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and crow's feet.

FAQ

How often and how long should I use the DPL Device?

The DPL™ Device is designed to run for nine (9) minutes per treatment. We recommend taking a maximum of two (2) DPL™ treatments daily for the first month and then two treatments per week after that. If you miss a treatment, don’t worry, just extend the daily treatments for the lost days. You may continue to use the light for the two 9 minute treatments per day after the one month period with no ill effects.

How long until I see results?

Everyone’s skin varies, but most people feel and see a difference in about four treatments. Because of differences in damaged skin, some people will see the benefits almost immediately and others will need more treatments. Because treatments are progressive, we recommend treatments for at least ten (10) weeks, for maximum results.

Do LED Treatments work on everyone?

LED treatments are proven to work on all skin types. There is over a 90% success rate for people using our system.

Can this hurt my eyes?

No studies have been found showing any harmful effects to the eyes when using our product correctly. However, we recommend not staring directly into our LEDs and we have provided a supply of eye shields for your comfort.

Why can't I see light from some of the LED's?

These LEDs (880 nm) are on and working properly. You cannot see them because they are in the infrared spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. Some digital cameras and camcorders will display the infrared lights.

Can I combine LED treatments with other skin care?

Yes. LED treatments can be used alone or with other skin care treatments. Many physicians have found LED treatments to complement other skin care treatments.

Will LED treatments hurt?

No. Unlike lasers or other ablative (skin harming) treatments, LED treatments are non-thermal, non-ablative, and non-invasive. Clients report no discomfort or pain associated with LED treatments.

Is LED therapy and IPL (intense pulse light) therapy the same?

LED Therapy and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) are different. There are several Commercial IPL systems on the market and they range from 500-1200 nm, but the big difference is in the energy output measured in joules/cm2. IPL typically has a power range of 3-90 Joules. It is closer to laser and because of that more dangerous than LEDs. IPL typically need trained users/aesthetician to administer.

Can I use the LED skin light for balding, acne, rosacea?

LED infrared / red light devices have been used for balding, * rosacea, pain, arthritis and acne. From the search we performed across the internet we have found that DPL LED's use the same technology as other devices that are making these claims. Since this is a new product for us we are not willing to make any claims that this unit will produce the same results as other available units. This unit is being marketed as a cosmetic device. Most skin devices that are available have been commercial models and very expense. This is the first home model that we feel is reasonable, will cover you entire face with one treatment and we are hearing from our clients that it is producing great results.

* The president of LTP did see her rosacea greatly reduced, crows feet dramatically reduced, pain disappear from her hands and feet after using the light unit for 3 weeks.

What is the difference between Laser or LED?

LED's produce (non-coherent, monochromatic light; spontaneous emission) - Laser's produce (coherent, monochromatic light, stimulated emission)

Tiina Karu (1998: The Science of Low-Power Laser Therapy) states that "...the coherence of light is of no importance in low-power laser clinical effects" and "the primary difference between lasers and LED's is that the laser's coherent beam produces "speckles" of relatively high power density which can cause local heating of inhomogeneous tissues".

Currently researchers & scientist agree that LED's are effective in generating a response within living tissue and hence has a therapeutic effect if used properly.

Most published research on photorejuvenation has been conducted using Lasers and not LED's. Only within the the last decade have LED's been produced with a strong enough output power to be beneficial for photo rejuvenation

NASA has produced the best research documentation to date supporting the effectiveness of LED's to stimulate plants and human tissue. Until more research is completed on the success of LED's for photorejuvenation the effectiveness is still not supported by extensive research.

To summarize, both LED's and Laser's work, but more research is needed to determine their best suited role LED's will play in photo-rejuvination.

What is the output of the LED skin light?

4 joules cm square

Isn’t it true that we are born with only so much collagen?

Collagen is a protein and as a protein collagen is synthesized (or formed) continuously in your body unless you have certain collagen deficiencies (scurvy or the lack of vitamin C is known to inhibit the production of collagen properly and the skin become fragile, wounds do not heal, skin discolors, among other results). Collagen chains are synthesized as longer precursors called “procollagens” and then transported or secreted into the extra cellular space after it is processed and assembled and these collagen molecules then polymerize to from Type I collagen.

There are 12-27 different collagen types (scientists disagree on the division). Type I collagen is the most abundant in the human body; it is present in scar tissue and is the end product when tissue heals itself by repair. This is the type of collage that our LED lights eventually forms. Type III collagen is the collagen of granulation tissue and is produced quickly by young fibroblasts before the tougher type of I collagen is synthesized. Our LEDs stimulate these fibroblasts which produce Type III collagen which eventually forms Type I collagen.

As we age genetics, (Intrinsic – internal aging) and Environmental (Extrinsic - external aging) slows the skin’s ability to repair itself from free-radical damage. Lasers work on reducing wrinkles by actually damaging the tissue causing Type I collage to be produced in the healing process. Our LED lights are non-invasive and do not harm the skin, but rather stimulate fibroblasts which produce collagen which repairs our skin damage.
