VIRGINA BEACH, Virg. (March 31, 2006)-Three years ago, Light BioScience® changed the way dermatologists approached anti-aging and skin rejuvenation with the introduction of its GentleWaves® LED Photomodulation. Now they're bringing this proven technology to the spa industry with the introduction of GentleWaves Elite. This compact and affordable unit brings GentleWaves' incomparable collagen-replenishing technology to estheticians for the first time ever. With its portable design and easy-to-use hand piece, GentleWaves Elite puts the power of light in the palm of your hand.

GentleWaves is the first LED device to be approved by the FDA for wrinkle reduction. Endorsed in dozens of peer review journals and backed by the industry's top dermatologists including Dr. David McDaniel, Dr. Tina Alster, Dr. Roy Geronemus, Dr. Robert Weiss and Dr. Patricia Wexler, GentleWaves Elite brings a product with medical credentials to the spa industry.

The Technology Behind LED Photomodulation
Many light-based skin rejuvenation methods use a heat to damage cells, which creates a wound-healing response to induce collagen production. But a thermal approach is often unpredictable, relying on several factors that vary from patient to patient. GentleWaves' patented LED Photomodulation's non-thermal, pulsing technology allows estheticians to zero in and alter collagen formation without heat and/or causing cellular injury. GentleWaves Elite packs powerful LED technology in a unique, hand-held device that provides estheticians with the ease of treating patients while they're on the treatment table. Also, the Elite unit is perfect for treating skin on any area of the body. An esthetician can treat a client's entire face, neck and chest in less than five minutes.

LED Photomodulation involves transmitting specific packets of light to change the biological activity of living cells. Key to the process is Photomodulation coding - the specific parameters with which the low-intensity light is delivered to stimulate collagen formation while suppressing collagen-degrading enzymes. This combination of skin correction makes GentleWaves the perfect device to not only strengthen skin and repair damage but also prevent further breakdown.

The Ideal Treatment to Enhance Spa Treatments
GentleWaves Elite is the perfect compliment to any and all anti-aging spa treatments. Not only is the technology proven to stimulate the production of collage, the LED Photomodulation session drastically reduces redness and skin irritation after treatments such as photo-facials microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
