The notion of using light wavelengths for healing was first discovered in 1805 by Dr. Niels Finsen as he experimented with light in the treatment of tuberculosis. Light therapy has been researched for its effects on various conditions for the past 30 years.
When researchers at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research tested red LED lights on skin cancer patients, they were shown to have a regenerative effect on the skin, which greatly improved its overall appearance.
The LED OPERA Mask is a new technology providing LED Light Therapy and Galvanic Treatment.
LED Light Therapy uses light, at specific wavelengths, to penetrate the skin at varying depths, causing a specific response. The light absorbed by the skin energises cells to:
The effect of light absorption can be clearly seen in treatments for:
Microcurrent pulse equipment delivers minute electrical pulses designed to mirror the body's own bio-electric field. Treatment should never be painful, is usually imperceptible, and at most is felt as mild tingling.
Whilst originally invented as a treatment for facial palsy, microcurrent has been used in aesthetics, where it is often known as facial toning or non-surgical face lifting, for its advantages in skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Benefits of Galvanic Treatment include:
