Revitalight skin care system

                      

Light has long been known to have health benefits. Revitalight^® is a state-of-the-art instrument that uses LED pulse light to stimulate and regenerate skin cells and promote healing using specific light frequencies. [top]

Lasers are well know for their ability to produce specific single light frequencies. But Lasers' harmful side effects are also well known. Their high power-density and focused energy generate heat that damages sensitive skin tissue — it's the primary mechanism of the laser which evokes a healing response in the skin. There is significant recovery time, and sometimes there is scarring associated with the procedure. Laser equipment is also expensive and bulky, and therefore, so are laser procedures. [top]

• LEDs, Light Emitting Diodes, are unique in their ability to produce the same specific light frequencies as lasers without damaging tissue. LEDs produce a diffuse and uniform light that penetrates more deeply than laser light, and is easily applied uniformly over the area of treatment. The inherent safety in the design of the Revitalight means that treatments are without pain or discomfort, there is no recovery period or "downtime," and often the results are immediate. There are many benefits: fine lines, enlarged pores and broken capillaries are reduced; skin is smoother; pigmentation is more even, and skin is thicker and firmer.

The History of Light Therapy [top]
Light therapy dates back to the Greeks, when it was known that exposure to light, or heliotherapy, could be beneficial to health.  Today, we know that one benefit of light exposure is the skin's production of vitamin D, one of the healing vitamins that is essential to good health. The Greeks may have been observing this effect, though they didn't know about vitamins. Neither did they know that exposure to some of the sun's wavelengths, like UV, can be very harmful.In 1903, a Nobel Prize was awarded to Dr. Niels Finsen, a Danish Physician who demonstrated the beneficial effects of various wavelengths in the treatment of tuberculosis. This same technology has proven to be effective in the fields of dermatology, neurology and physiotherapy. [top]

Forty years of independent research have shown that Light Therapy has powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue. In the 1960's in Europe it was noted that certain single wavelengths had excellent therapeutic effect on tissues through a process called photo-stimulation. One example is the practice of "light-treating" babies for jaundice, a common condition of newborns. [top]

More recently, cancer researchers have noted that a single red frequency combined with a topical cream kills certain types of skin cancer cells.  Researchers also noted that it stimulated skin tissue to regenerate and improve the appearance of the skin.  Circulation is increased and fibroblastic activity, collagen production and healing are promoted. This effect has produced very positive results in the treatment of rosacea, anti-aging and sun damage.

In space, the weightless environment slows cellular growth, in part because it depends on gravity. NASA research examined the use of light to penetrate deep into tissues and found it stimulated cell growth and promoted healing in zero-G environments. [top]

Today, LED Light Therapy is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that is gentle, painless, safe and effective.  Treatments are non-invasive and non-abrasive, yet the red light penetrates deeply into skin tissue. It stimulates gradual healing by increasing blood circulation and lymphatic activity.  Blue LED Light Therapy has proven very effective against more difficult acne cases, and instances where an ongoing acne treatment appears to have stalled. In clinical studies, blue light has been shown to generate singlet oxygen which attacks the bacteria that causes acne. More than 86 percent of study participants experienced a 74% acne reduction!  One factor that inspired us to add the Revitalight System to EBAC's treatment repertoire was a testimonial by Mark Lees, Ph.D., a well-respected skin care professional.  In evaluating the Revitalight, we spoke personally with Dr. Lees, and he said he repeatedly saw a significant improvement in his clients within the first week of their Revitalight treatment.

The Revitalight Skincare System is a safe, but effective use of advanced light technology designed to help diminish the visible appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots on the face, neck and hands by promoting collagen firmness. [top]

Developed by electronic engineers working in conjunction with dermatologists, the Revitalight Skincare System uses photopulsation technology allowing people to have an effective and safe, non-invasive cosmetic skin care application in the comfort and convenience of a salon or spa.  [top]

Extensive research involving safe light sources and wavelengths has enabled the Revitalight Team to create applications that allow light emitting diodes, LEDs, to help alleviate signs of aging. The key to Revitalight's photopulsation technology is the scientific concept that skin cells can be photoreceptive. The LED wavelengths which are used in the Revitalight Skincare System are less than half the strength of lasers used at their lowest levels by dermatologists, and therefore are completely harmless, yet effective.  [top]

The LED succeeds by passing its light through the skin in order to help promote collagen firmness. The skin naturally appears smoother, tighter, and more radiant as the collagen becomes more firm. The Revitalight System's cool temperatures cannot harm the skin in any way, and the disposable pulsator covers, made of FDA-approved plastic, assure that only a sanitized device touches the client's skin.  [top]
