Wrinkle Reduction

How does Wrinkle Reduction work?

The wrinkle reduction treatment is a two step procedure;

1. First the skin is sprayed every 5 minutes for 1 hour. This spray acts as a photosensitiser, making your skin more receptive to the light and reducing wrinkles by collagen stimulation.

2. After spraying, a transparent water based gel (similar to that used in ultrasound examinations) is applied to your face. The operator guides the visible light from the flash-lamp to your face going over the area 3 times.

The skin cells convert the active ingredient in the Photo Spray into a pigment called “protoporphrin IX” which is red in colour. The red colour absorbs the light and triggers a chemical reaction in the cells that “triggers” the cell to produce more collagen which eventually will lead to a reduction in wrinkles.

Is the Photo Spray dangerous?

No, because the active ingredient in the Photo Spray is present at extremely low levels – 0.5%, compared with typically 20% for similar topical creams. Because it uses liposomes to transport the active ingredient deep beneath the surface of the skin, the spray ensures effective treatment results with even greater safety and convenience than the standard method. Just close your eyes while spraying.

Is it necessary to use both Photo Spray and Light?

Yes, wrinkle reduction is a combination treatment. Clinical trials have revealed that neither the Photo Spray nor the Light works on its own – the combination of the two is necessary.

Can I be treated?

The treatment works in persons with mild to moderate wrinkles. Thanks to the low energy settings and long light pulses used in the wrinkle reduction treatment protocol, even darker coloured skin can be treated safely and effectively. Unlike other light based treatments, it is even safe to do treatments when you are sun tanned.

Does Wrinkle Reduction hurt?

No local anaesthetics are needed. Sense of pain is very individual, but the wrinkle reduction procedure is based on a chemical reaction in the skin rather than a thermal reaction in the skin. Therefore no heating of the skin is required and as such there is no pain involved.

Are there any specific pre and post treatment care required?

Your clinic will normally recommend you to use an Intense Gel (or similar) for at least one week prior to the wrinkle reduction treatment. The purpose of the Exfoliating Gel is to remove dead skin cells. This allows the light to penetrate the skin surface more effectively.

How many treatments do I need?

Clinical studies have confirmed that 3 treatments with 3 weeks interval give the optimal results. The wrinkle reduction gradually takes place from 1 up to 12 months after treatment, since collagen production is a slow process.

How can I be sure treatment is a safe and effective?

Clinical trials documenting safety and effectiveness are carried out by a worldwide network of leading doctors prior to the release of a product. The results of these tests are then published in respected medical journals.

Have had pigmentation removed from my face and hands with laser and am delighted with the results . I’d rang a few places who told me it would take 6-10 treatments and I only had 2 treatments in this place and the brown marks are gone-big difference.
