Debunking LED Myths

There is a lot of information out there about LED and sometimes its hard to know what the truth is. Here are 5 of the most common LED myths debunked.

Myth #1 : “The more colors a device has the better” FALSE! There is NO credible research to support the therapeutic values of wavelengths other than blue, red, and near infrared.

Myth #2: “The more powerful a device the better it is” FALSE! The amount of energy produced at the surface of an LED device is not relevant. What is relevant is the amount of light energy available for the skin to absorb at its surface. Delivering below 2 joules per centimeter squared is not enough to trigger ATP production, and more than 10 joules per centimeter square risks the triggering of toxic oxidative events.

Myth #3: “Blue light can age the skin” NOT TRUE! The value to blue light is to kill acne causing bacteria. Blue wavelengths only reach into the superficial epidermal layers of the skin, so has no value for cells or conditions that reside in the dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin. There is no scientific support for this blue light myth.

Myth #4: “A device that sells serums or masks is better than one that doesn’t” FALSE! Your skin is designed to keep things out. There are currently no rigorous clinical studies that prove there is a synergistic effect between LED treatment and serum penetration. It can be possible that the serums sold by light companies can block light penetration by 30% to 100% curtailing the therapeutic benefit of light therapy treatments.

Myth #5: “A device advertising a 5-minute treatment time is better than one that says you need 20 minutes or more.” FALSE! Treatment time matters too! It takes a cell a certain amount of time to absorb enough energy to effect a change at the cellular level. The duration of the LED session should take this fact into account. High quality LED devices call for 20 to 30 minute treatment times to deliver a full therapeutic dose.

Introducing DMK to Clarity!

To continue along with our skincare approach of healing from the inside out we would like to introduce DMK! The DMK concept is Remove / Rebuild / Protect / Maintain.

Remove: The DMK methods of removal orchestrate chemical actions in the skin. This not only stimulates the natural sloughing of redundant cuticle, but DMK signature Enzyme Masque Treatment also, utilize reverse osmosis to flood the tissue with oxygen and vital nutrients. The results are immediately seen with the DMK plasmatic effect, and bring about homeostasis to the tissue in ageing, acne, and hyperpigmentation clients, as well as to scars and other skin anomalies.

Rebuild: Living cells require the full complement of animo acids and other proteins to stay alive as long as possible. This includes certain free-radical scavenging vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. The acid mantal (our skin’s natural barrier defense system) must be treated, replenished and supported on a daily basis. DMK imitates nature with their signature oil and water topical home prescriptive combination that mimic the body’s own natural secretions of sweat (sudoriferous gland) and sebum (sebaceous gland). DMK’s serums, oils. aqueous hydrators, and finishing cremes are formulated for Transepidermal Delivery to provide skin with all the nutritional components it requires, as well as the protection it needs.

Protect: Therapists must always address the increasing danger from the daily environmental assault of free radicals, pollution and ultraviolet radiation. DMK treatments and home prescriptives maximize strengthen and regulate the immune system of the skin via the Langerhans Cells. Targeted Langerhans Cells stimulation provides protection against the invasion of microbes, accelerate healing from trauma, stimulate the immune function and other cellular activity.

Maintain: DMK professional treatments and home prescriptives are clinically proven to revise stubborn skin conditions. DMK home prescriptives are essential for achieving the desired result with the professional treatments.

DMK is the world leader in Paramedical Skin Revision

We now have a full body celluma panel treatment!

Come experience the same magical LED treatment that we do in our facials now for your entire body!

What is Celluma?

Celluma Light Therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-level light energy to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve skin conditions. It is based on the principle of photobiomodulation, where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by cells to stimulate various biological processes.

Celluma devices typically consist of a flexible, light-emitting panel that can be applied to various parts of the body. The panel emits different wavelengths of light, often including red, blue, and near-infrared light, which have been shown to have therapeutic effects at the cellular level.

  • Red Light: Red light is commonly used to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. It can aid in collagen production, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin and promoting wound healing.

  • Blue Light: Blue light is primarily utilized for its antibacterial properties and is often employed in the treatment of acne. It targets the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts and helps to soothe irritated skin.

  • Near-Infrared Light: Near-infrared light has deeper penetration capabilities and can reach muscles, joints, and deeper tissues. It can assist in reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting healing in these areas.

Celluma Light Therapy is often used in medical and aesthetic settings. Patients typically lie under or against the light-emitting panel for a specified amount of time, during which the light energy is absorbed by cells and triggers the desired biological responses. It's considered safe and painless, with minimal side effects and no downtime.

Why would you want to add it on?

Celluma light therapy is known to effectively treat conditions such as acne, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. The blue light wavelength helps to eliminate bacteria responsible for acne breakouts, while the red light stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving overall skin texture. Additionally, the therapy has shown promising results in managing inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and reducing joint and muscle pain.

Best anti-aging / preventative / corrective treatments : Nano-Needling & Microneedling

I have become obsessed lately with my microneedling / nano needling treatments. Not only do they stimulate new collagen and elastin fibers which in turn help smooth out any fine lines and wrinkles I have been seeing amazing results in reducing melasma and hyperpigmentation in my clients. The tiny micro channels that are created in your skin help with cell turnover and we are infusing those channels with Hyaluronic Acid which is naturally found in your skin to maintain plumpness and hydration. I have also started using Glo Skin Beauty’s Bio Renew EGF (epidermal growth factors) serum after the treatment (you will also get a travel size serum to use at home) to brighten and repair the skin. My clients that have been seeing me for microneedling reported back that their downtime after their treatment was drastically reduced to almost zero when using the EFG drops at home. If you are not sure which treatment to choose come on in for a complimentary consult.

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is the process of applying electro-magnetic fields to the body to stimulate the health of each individual cell. Separates clumped red blood cells to improve circulation. PEMF is FDA approved to manage joint pain, bone repair, and signs of depression. Used by NASA to maintain health of astronauts. Most compatible with our bodies’ natural biorhythms.

Negative Ion Therapy is nature’s purifiers - clearing the air of harmful agents like technology. Helps to cleanse your mind; improve the quality of your sleep and health. Think of how you feel after going into nature, or by the beach or on a mountain top.

Photon Light Therapy uses visible red lights at a wavelength of 660 nanometers to treat slightly below the surface of your skin. Photon light therapy assists directly with the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for generating proteins and collagen. The new cells can destroy old cells, helping even further with detoxification and wellness.

The amazing BlanQuil!!! (Weighted blanket therapy)

I have this weighted blanket on my treatment table. It’s amazing. The moment you slip under the covers its immediate relaxation. The company BlanQuil uses the concept of “compression therapy”, in laymen’s terms, it’s the idea that being hugged creates happy feelings. My blanket weighs 15 pounds, the idea is that it is suppose to be about 8-15% of your body weight, creating the feeling of being held which helps relax the nervous system. The filling of the blanket is High Density Eco Friendly glass beads, which are durable, non-toxic, washer/dryer safe and pet and kid friendly.
