What is the science behind infrared light therapy?

Not a new or fleeting science - infrared therapy has been used in the medical profession for over 30 years. Currently it is being used in the NASA Space Program to heal astronaut's wounds on the space station (National Geographic, Jan. 2001). It is painless, nontoxic, non-invasive and compliments many skin-care therapies.

What is the length of time for the treatment?

30 - 60 minutes. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes. It involves cleansing, exfoliating (optional) and the selection and application of the condition-specific PhotoActif IllumiCare Cosmeceutical product. The initial series of 6-7 treatments should be booked every 7-10 days.

Do I need maintenance treatments?

Yes. Maintenance treatments are important in order to maintain your visible results. Usually  a once a month treatment is recommended, unless otherwise determined by your skin care specialist

Is the PhotoActif Infrared Therapy System a good complement to other skin care treatments?

Yes. Other skin care treatments; such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels, beautify the skin's surface. The PhotoActif treatment strengthens and rejuvenates tissue both from the surface and from within. Together, these treatments can deliver remarkable inner and outer results.

Is the PhotoActif treatment for everyone?

While everyone can benefit from the use of PhotoActif Corrective Skin Care treatments, those whose skin show the most visible signs of aging will experience the quickest results. The treatments are ideal for anyone who prefers a safe, discreet and gentle treatment with a gradual approach to looking younger. PhotoActif takes only a few minutes and you can return immediately to your normal activities without the visible signs of having undergone a cosmetic treatment.
