Problems like wrinkles, fine lines, pigments and sun damage can be effectively cured with a laser without causing any pain. The laser is also used successfully for tightening the sagging and loosened facial skin. For treating these common problems laser is used to damage the upper layer of the skin through the heat of the laser. Mild local anesthetics are applied to numb the area where the treatment is to be done that diminishes the slightest of pain that can be caused by application of laser. After the treatment skin resurfaces at the treated area and brings back the radiance of skin.

Radio Wave Frequency Treatments

Application of radio waves to treat skin wrinkles and other signs of aging is effective and painless. The effect of the treatment is smooth and tightened skin that lasts for longer period of time if you compare it with Botox injections and the process is even more painless than lasers. In radio wave, anti aging treatment the radio wave frequency is applied in such a way that it penetrates the dermal layer to heat up the tissues just beneath the upper layer of the skin. This process causes some structural and molecular changes in the skin tissues that help to gradually remove the skin pigments and wrinkles. Even if the wrinkles are not completely removed in the first application, the depth of the wrinkles is surely decreased.

For applying the radiofrequency to the skin, an electrode is placed on the area of the skin where the treatment is to be done. As heat is generated during the procedure, a cryogenic spray is applied locally to cool off the skin that eliminates the chance of open burns. For anti-aging treatment monopolar radio wave frequency is used in most cases. This frequency penetrates deep into the skin as much as 20 mm within the skin tissues to rejuvenate the skin and remove signs of aging.

The Led light treatment for anti-aging effects is painless, free from application of chemicals and hence there is no chance of skin irritations and any side effects. For eliminating the signs of aging like wrinkles and loosened skin, the infrared property of the LED lights is utilized. Our skin is capable of absorbing the infrared light that is emitted by the LED lights. This infrared light increases the activity of the fibroblast cell in our skin and that results in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin – two vital component of skin. With better collagen production skin is tightened, wrinkles and skin spots are lightened and open pores are reduced. All these cumulatively reduce the sign of aging.

The anti-aging properties of LED lights were first researched by NASA that they used in their space program. Apart from the known anti-aging properties LED lights are known for overall conditioning of skin and even curing pain in joints. Depending on the condition of your skin, the intensity of light and duration of treatment is decided by the experts. The effect of rejuvenated skin will appear within a few days and if you can continue with the LED treatment you can maintain the glowing and vibrant skin for good.
