Get Rid of Facial Wrinkles Non-surgically With Gentlewaves in Chicago

Aging, sun’s Ultraviolet rays, skin disorders or hereditary factors may all contribute to facial irregularities which include wrinkles, fine lines, scars and enlarged pores. GentleWaves® is a non-surgical facial treatment that basically rejuvenates the face. This treatment uses special equipment which delivers coded LED lights that act under your skin to shrink pores, slow down the formation of fine lines and wrinkles and boost production of collagen for a supple, youthful looking skin. GentleWaves facial treatment should be performed by a certified physician. A board-certified plastic surgeon can as well perform the procedure for you. Chicago and its surrounding residents can conveniently visit Skin Deep Medical Spa under the management of Dr. Bloch for treatment. Set your consultation appointment at www.skindeepmedicalspa.com.

What’s the technique for GentleWaves® treatment?

GentleWaves is not a painful procedure. Your aesthetician may recommend skin exfoliation first before the spa treatment for enhanced results. When your skin is ready for treatment, your physician will guide you to face the treatment machine at a close range. When the equipment is on, the non-thermal light is directed on your face for less than 2 minutes. The GentleWaves® facial device employs a process called photobiomodulation. This process stimulates the growth of collagen which renews formation of youthful and healthy skin cells. Sunburn effect can as well be treated with the light process.

"LED treatments offer rejuvenation benefits

LED treatments are an excellent way to stimulate the skin to refresh itself by “super-charging” the cells and speeding up repair mechanisms. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, a series of treatments is ordinarily required to get any visible results. Certain LED lights and settings are excellent for enhancing the penetration and effect of anti-oxidant topical medications.

How is GentleWaves® recovery like?

Facial treatment with GentleWaves® has no downtime compared to surgical treatment. You may have some mild irritations and redness after treatment, but this will go away in a few days. This facial treatment has notable results after at least 3 to 5 treatments. A series of 8 to 10 treatments may be recommended by your physician. You can have 2 treatments weekly. After the initial 8 treatments, you can have a monthly touch up once for maintenance. Your facial look will continue to improve for up to 6 months. Good facial care and use of sunscreen will prolong your youthful look
