GentleWaves is a light based treatment that reduces wrinkles, pore size and pigmentation to produce smoother, more youthful looking skin. GentleWaves treatments are painless and recovery is instantaneous so that you can immediately return to your normal activities. GentleWaves requires several appointments. GentleWaves is FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles around the eyes. Using a technology called Photomodulation, GentleWaves has been shown to increase collagen production in the skin while decreasing the production of enzymes that break down and age the skin.
What Does GentleWaves Treat?
GentleWaves treats wrinkles, scars, uneven pigmentation and enlarged pores. Skin becomes smoother and looks more radiant. Results are typically seen after the third or fourth treatment, and improvements continue up to six months after the last treatment. GentleWaves can also be used in conjunction with other procedures such as microdermabrasion, Intense Pulsed Light and laser resurfacing. In particular, GentleWaves is FDA approved for treatment of wrinkles around the eyes.
What Are GentleWaves Treatments Like?
GentleWaves treatments are not painful. Most protocols consist of 8 to 10 treatments, with appointments scheduled once or twice a week. Each treatment takes less than 15 minutes to complete.
GentleWaves can be used on all skin types and can treat other parts of the body such as the neck, chest, and lower legs.
What should I expect from GentleWaves Treatment?
GentleWaves results show themselves gradually. While results are not as dramatic as more invasive treatments such as chemical or laser peels, your skin will look younger, and smoother. In a scientific study, GentleWaves treatments on the face resulted in a 27% reduction in skin roughness, a 14% reduction in pore size, and a 25% reduction in redness.
