Phototherapy as one of the methods for treating hyperpigmentation

LED skin therapy is treatment with light waves of different colors of the spectrum. Photo exposure improves the nutrition of body tissues, promotes the synthesis of new collagen, strengthens blood vessels, and suppresses pathogenic bacteria.

Phototherapy method

The LED facial therapy procedure is a hardware cosmetology technique based on the ability of LED radiation to activate certain acceptor enzymes (“accelerators” of biochemical reactions in cells: hemoglobin, catalase, etc.). This also helps to influence the arrangement of atoms inside the cell and its functional state. As a result, it is possible to start the process of formation of reactive oxygen species, which activate oxidative processes.

Due to light therapy, collagen and elastin fibers are produced. In this case, melanin is blocked and the genetically inherent functional abilities of the cells are restored:

  • fibrous tissue is replaced with healthy collagen;
  • vessels grow, concentrated in the microvasculature of the affected areas;
  • Cell membranes are restored - cell growth accelerates.

How phototherapy is carried out in each specific case is determined by the cosmetologist, based on the characteristics of the patient’s skin. If necessary, a 3D facial skin diagnosis can be performed before the session.

A positive biological effect is achieved when exposed to an optimal dose of LED radiation. It should be taken into account that white skin blocks up to 95% of incoming light, and the maximum dosage is 300 J/cm2. Stronger exposure will result in cell death. Only the doctor who performs the procedure can select the correct intensity.

Photorejuvenation technology

Lumenis has proposed an innovative method of combating aging, which consists of using light waves of different lengths, from which ultraviolet is completely excluded. This technology is called IPL - intense pulsed light. The peculiarity of the method is that such light can selectively affect chromophores - compounds of atoms that absorb and distribute light energy in the dermis and epidermis.

Each chromophore absorbs energy of a certain range. The nature of the process can be influenced by adjusting the wavelength.

After interacting with photons (tiny particles of light), the chromophore goes into a state of excitation and transfers energy to oxygen molecules, which then spreads through the tissues through heat generation.

As a result, cells with an excessive level of melanin are destroyed - pigment spots, hemoglobin “sticks together” - spider veins disappear, inactive skin cells die off - the division of new ones starts.

To obtain a visible effect, it is necessary to accurately determine the wavelength for the specific area being treated. At our NuAnce clinic, the procedure is performed by highly qualified specialists with extensive experience, so you do not have to worry about the final result.

First of all, decorative cosmetics and small particles of dirt are removed from the skin. To protect the cornea from burns, the patient wears special glasses. Then they are treated with a special light-conducting gel, which is necessary to reduce the scattering of the light beam and protect the skin. The light beam passes through LED filters to the tip, which directs it to the area of ​​skin being treated.

Conventionally, the device operates in two modes. The first regimen consists of a set of procedures aimed at getting rid of spider veins and age spots. Photo flashes destroy melanin, so pigment spots become lighter or disappear altogether. Due to thermal coagulation (“gluing”) of capillaries under the influence of the IPL beam, visible clusters of blood vessels disappear.

The second mode includes improving skin tone and structure, reducing pores and evening out complexion. Pulsed light heats the deeper layers and activates the production of collagen and elastin. The peak production of these substances will be reached 4-5 months after the procedure, so it can be argued that the result is prolonged.

During the procedure, the patient feels a slight tingling and warmth. The skin is not injured, but may acquire a pink tint, which will quickly fade. Upon completion, the face is treated with a soothing and cooling cream. The duration of the session depends on the area of ​​treatment and the tasks assigned to the doctor, but usually no more than an hour.

The effect is noticeable after the first procedure. To consolidate it, it is necessary to conduct 3-4 sessions with an interval of 3 weeks.

Photos Before and After phototherapy for facial skin

LED therapy, due to its pronounced effect, has won many positive reviews from patients who have undergone treatment for dermatological diseases. The method promotes natural recovery and helps the body independently fight pathological processes, improving the appearance of the skin.

Contraindications

Photorejuvenation triggers global changes at the cellular level, so you should carefully read the list of contraindications.

  • Pregnancy and lactation period.
  • Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to light).
  • Large neoplasms in the affected area.
  • Eye diseases. Cataract and glaucoma.
  • Acute and chronic skin diseases.
  • Acute infectious diseases. For example, a herpes infection.
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases.
  • Diabetes.
  • Hypertension.
  • Oncology.
  • Epilepsy.
  • Presence of a pacemaker or metal prosthesis.
  • Hemophilia and other blood diseases.
  • Thyroid diseases.

The procedure is also contraindicated in patients under 16 years of age. In rare cases, a cosmetologist may prescribe a set of procedures to a young patient using Lumenis M22 to eliminate acne and post-acne.

Phototherapy using HARMONIA LED PRO

At the InnoVacia Center for Contemporary Cosmetology, light therapy is carried out using the modern HARMONIA LED PRO device. The precision of the settings allows you to select the exposure mode for any skin type with varying degrees of sensitivity. Depending on the task, the radiation spectrum, the duration of one session and the recommended course duration are selected.

LED therapy uses three color spectrums:

  • Red - 630 nm Used to improve metabolism and blood circulation. Promotes natural hydration and helps retain moisture in the skin. It has a calming effect and is used to combat redness and inflammation. Prescribed for alopecia and rosacea.
  • Blue - 410 nm Typically used for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal properties.
  • Yellow - 580 nm Soothes the skin and promotes the production of vasopresin - a substance that improves blood circulation and stimulates lymphatic drainage processes. Due to this property, it is used in the treatment of congestion and tissue hypoxia.

Result

After a course of photorejuvenation, pigment spots, acne, acne, capillary networks go away, complexion and skin turgor improve, and in the long term, epidermal cells are renewed.

However, it should be understood that with the help of phototherapy it will not be possible to lift the skin, restore the volume of the cheekbones lost with age, eliminate deep nasolacrimal and nasolabial folds, gravitational ptosis and “jowls”. Also, during photorejuvenation, the areas around the eyes are not affected due to the risk of corneal burns. If these areas require additional attention, you should choose a different treatment method.
