Photo-Modulation


Photo-modulation seeks a therapeutic effect without the necessity of laser light emissions that produce heat: by stimulating certain receptors it allows the stimulation or the inhibition of certain cell functions.

 

This is done by focusing on a different treatment than the IPL, Radiofrequency or Laser treatments.

 

Photo-modulation bases its effectiveness on the stimulation produced by the Mitochondria Receptors of the coetaneous cells. Acting on:

 

Coetaneous fibroblasts

Coetaneous blood flow

Coetaneous mother cells


The stimulation of these three structures encourages:


Growth in collagen synthesis

Growth of the proteins in the extra-cellular matrix

Reduction of the degrading proteins in the extra-cellular matrix

 

The increase in collagen fibers and proteins of the extra-cellular matrix returns the skin to a youthful structure. The skin recovers its elasticity, the pores close, and it resurfaces, obtaining a great improvement in photo-aged skin. This treatment can be applied to the entire surface of the face, neckline, and hands.

 

Photo-modulation employs two non-coherent light emitting instruments:

 

1. LED (Omnilux)

Thin band non-coherent light

Used for the treatments of:


Photodynamic Therapy, if the ALA is used

Photo-modulation, if the ALA is not used


This is indicated more when a very intense rejuvenation effect is desired

 

2. Gentle Waves

Thin band non-coherent light

Indicated for the rejuvenation of the skin in people aged 30-40, thin wrinkles, etc.
