Backed by Technology
The effects of light therapy sound too good to be true? Well, we agree. But we are also here to prove to you everything is backed by studies and based on real results over time.
Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a technique that uses low-level wavelengths of visible red LEDs to rejuvenate the skin. Red light therapy produces an effect that can promote healthy skin, help with the appearance of blemishes and fine lines, and minimize breakouts. The SolaWave Wand uses visible red light with a centroid wavelength of 660 nanometers, the optimal range to improve the skin’s appearance and achieve a smooth and even tone.
In a 2014 randomized controlled trial on red light treatment, 75% of participants showed a significant improvement in the appearance of their fine lines and wrinkles using similar technologies.
Working Principle
began using it in the 1990s to help heal wounds quickly and to help regenerate damaged muscle tissues.
Since then, the treatment has been researched for different situations in aesthetics. It’s mainly noted for increasing collagen and tissues. All of which can smooth out your skin and reduce the appearance of damage from age spots, acne and wrinkles.
There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, which don’t contain ultraviolet rays and are readily absorbed into the skin.
Microcurrent
Microcurrent is low-voltage electrical waves used to ‘work out’ the muscles of the face by stimulating the muscles and deeper layers of the dermis of the skin. Microcurrent promotes smooth, healthy skin and boosts the appearance of the skin by counteracting common symptoms of aging. The SolaWave Wand delivers an average of 300 microamps of microcurrent directly to the skin to help the skin look and feel healthy, smooth, and glowing.
A 2012 randomized clinical trial has shown that microcurrent therapies have been able to improve wrinkles by over 20% in patients after just two sessions, resulting in an over 70% satisfaction rate in those who pursued microcurrent treatments for their skin issues.
Therapeutic Warmth
Applying heat directly to the skin encourages a process known as “vasodilation”, or the widening of blood vessels, leading to increased local blood flow, circulation, and the temporary opening of pores. The SolaWave Wand’s heated head evenly delivers soothing warmth at approximately 100°F that can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under the eye, leading to a beautiful, healthy glow.
According to Dr. Taruna Yadav, senior Ayurveda expert featured in Vogue, “Hot temperatures or heat therapy increases the blood flow in the skin, allowing oxygen and nutrients to move through blood vessels which is essential for the regrowth of damaged tissue."
