LED, Micro Current and Ultrasound Photo Bio-stimulation Therapies Questions and Answers:
What is LED? LED (light-emitting diodes) for esthetic purpose is light therapy that triggers natural intracellular chemical processes within the cells; turning them on (much in the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular blocks).
What is micro-current? A form of interferential kinetic energy, (a reproduction of the body’s natural bio-electrical energy) and, unlike AC currents, are non-invasive. They produce the necessary energy needed to maintain muscle tone. Micro-current stimulation at low frequency is an ideal stimulus for facial rejuvenation.
What is non-thermal ultrasonic frequency? Ultrasonic frequency is the movement of sound waves or acoustic energy. Sound waves produce a cellular massage, creating pathways into the skin allowing specific molecules to enter, and stimulates the lymphatic system; assisting in detoxification of connective tissue to promote healthy skin. These frequencies work in harmony with the natural vibration of our cells, energizing and oxygenating tired cells.
Are there any conditions in which I should not have these treatments?
Check with your doctor before having LED micro-current, or ultrasound treatments if you have any of the following conditions: pregnant, epilepsy, pacemaker, metal implants in the upper portion of your body, cancer, aids, insulin dependency, thrombosis,sensitivity to light, seizures, taking photo-sensitive drugs; acutane use within 3 months of treatment, and blood thining medications
I have hyper pigmentation, what treatment is best for me? Hyper pigmentation is a condition which can be caused by many things and depending on how long you have had it, can be very difficult to treat. You should first be prepared by realizing that it does not go away over night and any sun exposure may cause it to rapidly re-appear. The worst thing you can do to hyper-pigmented skin is over-peel (deep chemical peeling or harsh scrubs) At Jacqueline Morgan Skin Care, our approach is subtle, yet long lasting. We would first start you on a protocol at home using a gentle exfoliation combined with Vitamin C. After 1 or 2 weeks we would then start you on a program in the treatment room using ultrasound and iontophorisis with Environs DF machine to penetrate proven effective ingredients that will start repairing the damaged cells. A series of treatments is required (usually 2 times per month for 2-3 months) Not recommended during the summer months.
