Yes, this is a repeat, but it's worth reading again. Lightwave (LED therapy) is giving us impressive results in skin tightening, stretch marks treatment and substantial improvements in our Acne therapies.

Using a combination of different lights delivered at different times stimulates the cells that help counteract effects of aging and wipe out acne-causing bacteria.

 

Light at specific wavelengths is known to stimulate tissue and influence rebuilding of collagen. Lightwave Therapy system provides initial effects you will see by way of a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion.

Light accelerates the wound healing response and therefore offers an effective adjunctive therapy, pre and post laser treatments, chemical peels and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, reducing the side effects and speeding up the time your tissue takes to regenerate.

Lightwave can also be used in combination with your regular facial treatments and with injections such as Botox and fillers, helping to maintain the effect of the treatment.

Because the light stimulates deeper cellular improvements, you will see further additional results over the next 4 to 6 months.

Lightwave is a painless procedure with short treatment times of 20 minutes. No downtime or recovery.

 

 

The eyes and the eyebrows are extremely important facial features that often give away a person's age. Rejuvenating the eye area can take years off the face and do not require long recuperation periods or great expense.

 

The youthful eye is surrounded by smooth skin with no depressed or darkened tear troughs or crow's feet wrinkles and has a full reflective area under the lateral brow and a large platform on the upper eyelid. A beautifully arched eyebrow is very attractive in a woman, while a horizontal lower eyebrow makes a man look more powerful.

 

The upper third of the face, including the forehead, eyebrows, and eyes, is generally the first area to be affected by the aging process. Beginning in our 30s, intrinsic aging can cause the eyebrows to descend; vertical lines begin to appear between the medial aspects of the eyebrows; horizontal forehead wrinkles become apparent; and there may be lower-lid bags.

Addressing these signs of aging will allow you to look younger, healthier, more alert, and less tired. All areas around the eye and eyebrow can be cosmetically treated to achieve maximum results in a new exciting procedure called "Intervention for the Eyes".

MSG (monosodium-glutamate) is a brain neurotoxin. Outside of the body, glutamic acid is produced commercially in food manufacturing and chemical plants. Its use in food began in the early 1900s as a component of a flavor enhancer called "monosodium glutamate." Unfortunately, any glutamic acid that is produced outside of the body for use in food, drugs, dietary supplements, cosmetics, personal care products, fertilizers can cause or exacerbate brain lesions and learning disabilities.

 

The first published report of an adverse reaction to MSG appeared in 1968 and since than scientists (and FDA) know that exposure to free glutamic acid found in processed food (MSG) causes adverse reactions including hives, asthma, seizures, migraine headache; causes brain damage, learning disorders, and endocrine disturbances; and is relevant to diseases of the brain such as: addiction, stroke, epilepsy, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

 

Current regulations allow MSG to be "hidden" in food under the names of: "flavor," "natural flavors", "flavoring," "natural flavoring," "stock," or "broth" and even the names of those particular MSG-containing ingredients don't need to be disclosed.
