Theislandtan Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 We have added a red light therapy bed to the salon! Below are some FAQ’s answers, but feel free to ask questions you may have. A month is only $40 or you can add it on to a tanning package for $20! Red Light Therapy and tanning can be done in the same day! What can I expect from Red Light Therapy treatments? Treatments using red light will improve skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, help reduce pore size, encourage vibrant, healthier-looking skin, and reduce wrinkles. Anti-aging red light therapy stimulates circulation and repairs the elastin fibers within tissue to help keep skin firm. Are red light treatments safe? What does the FDA say? According to the FDA, red light at 633nm has a “non-significant risk” status and is completely safe for the eyes. Red light penetrates tissue to a depth of 8 – 10 mm, delivering energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself. How does Red Light Therapy work? Red light at 633nm is absorbed by the mitochondria of the cell and stimulates intracellular energy transfer (ATP) production for enhanced cell vitality and permeability, increased production of new collagen, and increased turnover of collagen and elastin fibers. Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells grow 150 – 200 percent faster when exposed to certain light wavelengths, and research has shown red light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue. Does Red Light therapy produce the same light as from the sun? Can it damage my skin? Too much sunlight can affect the skin due to the emission of broad spectrum ultraviolet energy through the atmosphere. Rejuvenessence lamps utilize the visible spectra of light at 633nm (red), but contain no UVA or UVB rays. How does Red Light therapy differ from laser treatments? Red light therapy does not cut, burn, or break the skin as with laser treatments. Lasers use heat and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Rejuvenessence lamps produce no vaporization or burning of tissue, and therefore no inflammation or erythema. Red light therapy is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and mottled skin tone. How soon do results become noticeable? There are few immediate changes to skin, as change occurs naturally over a period of weeks. Everyone reacts differently, depending on their age and the condition of their skin. In general, best results are achieved over an 8 – 12 week period. Does Red Light treat acne, age spots, and sun damage? Red light helps remove the bacteria that causes acne, and generates cellular activity that deals with age spots and sun damage. Anti-aging red light therapy brightens skin and reduces the formation of pigmentation marks. Does Red Light therapy work equally well on all skin types? Red Light therapy is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. The main prerequisite is that skin be clean for effective light transmission. How long do the results last? Results depend on the length of treatment and the original conditions being treated. Skin rejuvenation is a dynamic process. If maintenance treatments are discontinued, natural expression lines will gradually return over the course of time, at which point re-treatment can be put in place. Link to post Share on other sites

bellaprincess Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Is this a type of bed? How long do you stay in it? A month is $40..how may times do you do it in a month? TIA Link to post Share on other sites
Theislandtan Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Is this a type of bed? How long do you stay in it? A month is $40..how may times do you do it in a month? TIA It is just like a tanning bed except it has the red light lamps instead of a tanning lamps. Unlike tanning, you start out with the maximum session time of 20 minutes. You are not required to stay the full session time, but results will vary depending on how long you do stay. $40 is for a full, unlimited month. You can use it everyday if desired, but it is not required. It is recommended to use the bed 2 - 3 times a week in the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites

I lay in that bed sometimes before I get in the Matrix bed and it helps my back feel better (I have two herninated disc) Link to post Share on other sites
Theislandtan Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 We sell skin rejuvenating lotions to use before and after sessions that enhance the results. Stop by and see the bed for yourself and give it a try. On Sunday we will offer free visits to this bed for those interested in trying it out. It'll cost you nothing more than the gas required to come see us! Link to post Share on other sites
dawneykids Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is this like Thermage(sp) therapy? It sounds about the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Theislandtan Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is this like Thermage(sp) therapy? It sounds about the same. Possibly the same results, but different approach. From the quick reading I just did in Thermage, it sounds more like the are using infrared than visible light. There is no heating in our beds, but simple red light. There is heat produced during the process that is an caused by the equipment running. The big difference I can see is the Thermage talks about a quick fix while our service works with you body to give the desired results over time. The Thermage website is thin on the technical details of how it actually works. The science is available on Red Light. Even NASA has shown the benefits of using it. Link to post Share on other sites
Theislandtan Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 People using this are seeing results. We had someone come in that signed up because she could see a difference in a co-worker who uses this in our salon. There are no side affects or damage associated with it because it is simply light being produced. It is a full body treatment unlike LED and with no pain like lasers! A month is only $40!
