Sapphire Photonlite

WORLD CLASS LED PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT

Cheryl Anne's Beauty is pleased to introduce Phototherapy.

Phototherapy is a non-invasive therapy whereby light of specific wavelengths is delivered to the skin to stimulate and activate cellular processes deep within the skin layers. This kind of therapy is completely safe and does not produce a thermal reaction in the skin which makes this a comfortable treatment for your customers.

Phototherapy technology was originally developed by NASA to aid wound healing in space. It has also been used extensively in the medical profession for treating severe Psoriasis and Dermatitis cases, and, for successfully treating new born babies with jaundice. Aesthetically, this technology has been applied for 30 years producing excellent results on its own and now being used as a complementary therapy to other cosmetic procedures.

The Photonlite uses LED technology to produce a range of light wavelengths to aid in many treatment applications. Being the latest in LED technology, the Photonlite is able to provide not just monochromatic treatments (one colour), it has polychromatic programs using a variety of colours to attain additional therapeutic benefits. There are 3000 powerful light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the Photonlite and this allows a greater surface area to be treated effectively.

Phototherapy has had much success as a stand alone treatment and as a complementary treatment for the following conditions:

  • Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet
  • Eradicating p.acne bacteria
  • Firms and tones the skin
  • Reduces photoaging and sun damage
  • Increases circulation
  • Stimulates and regenerates collagen and elastin
  • Aids in wound healing and scar prevention
  • Reduces scars and uneven skin texture
  • Gentle skin rejuvenation
  • Reduces pore size
  • Reduces melanin production and age spots
  • Treats Dermatitis and Psoriasis
  • Treats Vitiligo
  • Reduces inflammation, redness and erythema

 

SAPPHIRE PHOTONLITE – BENEFITTING YOUR BUSINESS

This technology really is at the leading edge in the beauty industry. Phototherapy treatments are so gentle they can be combined with other treatments like microdermabrasion and IPL skin rejuvenation to increase the results and reduce any discomfort from these procedures.

We know our clients are constantly looking for the best results possible in the shortest time frame possible. You can even complement your other procedures with Photonlite treatments to increaseyour results in a shorter time, whilst still remaining non-invasive.

 

PHOTOTHERAPY TREATMENTS

To get the most benefits and results from a phototherapy treatment, it’s important to understand what the different colours (or wavelengths) can achieve and how they achieve this. The wavelengths used in Photonlite are all within the visible spectrum of light. At one end of the visible light spectrum you have violet light. At the other end of the visible spectrum you have red light. Outside of the visible spectrum is the invisible spectrum consisting at one end, Ultraviolet light (UVA, UVB) and at the other end, Infrared light. (There are more wavelengths in the invisible spectrum but these are outside the scope of phototherapy and thus not mentioned here.)

Basically, wavelengths penetrate the skin at different depths. Of the visible spectrum, Violet light has the lowest penetration rate, whilst Red light has the deepest penetration rate. It’s important to know that light wavelengths absorbed at different penetration depths can treat a range of conditions more effectively than just a single wavelength penetrating at a single depth.

So, what is each colour (or more correctly, wavelength) good for treating? We’ve put a table together below so that you can see what colour is helpful for treating what conditions and this will help you to understand how a polychromatic phototherapy treatment can be of greater benefit than just a monochromatic treatment.

LED COLOUR NANOMETERS APPLICATIONS
VIOLET 400nm

- Antibacterial
- Psoriasis
- Dermatitis
- Vitiligo
- Acne, oily skin

BLUE 490nm

- Antibacterial
- Attacks current Acne outbreaks
- Soothes sebaceous glands
- Helps alleviate Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.)

GREEN 525nm

- Calms red or inflamed skin
- Broken red capillaries
- Rosacea
- Fading pigmentation and age spots
- Lessens erythema following treatments and procedures

YELLOW/
AMBER
green and red combined

- Tightens and tones skin
- Attacks acne on a deeper level which help to prevent future acne outbreaks
- Reducing photoaging, pigmentation and age spots
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

RED 650nm

- Collagen stimulation and production
- Increased circulation and cell repair
- Wound healing
- Scar reduction
- Reduce inflammation of sebaceous glands
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin rejuvenation

INFRARED
(handheld attachment only)
850nm

- Deeper penetration than red light
- Increased wound healing
- Increased scar reduction
- Muscle healing
- Stimulate fibroblasts and collagen production
- Increased circulation

As you can see from the table above, a polychromatic program targeting acne would use a Blue light and a Red light. The Blue light kills the p.acne bacteria, whilst the Red light treats sebaceous gland inflammation and gently rejuvenates the skin. Essentially, this treatment benefits acne sufferers by treating the before and after effects of acne within the one program. A following treatment of Yellow light would help to reduce future outbreaks of acne that have not yet reached the surface of the skin.

Since phototherapy is about stimulation of cellular activity, you will see the effects from the treatments over a course of treatments and even after the course of treatments is completed, you will still feel and see the benefits continuing well after.

Phototherapy, much like microdermabrasion is not a harsh treatment, so there is no down time for you. Treatments can be completed at any time and you can return to your daily routines at the end of your treatments. Skin may become more sensitive to sunlight and this is mostly due to cellular stimulation and activation on a deeper level. You are advised to wear sunscreen products following their treatments to avoid sunburn.Your therapist will be more than happy to recommend suitable products from our of skin care range.

Before and after shots of phototherapy treatments:

SUBJECT A (FEMALE): Subject A presented with moderate acne. Subject received 3 phototherapy treatments, 1 every 2 weeks and 6 microdermabrasion treatments, 1 per week for 6 weeks. Results show a reduction in the amount of acne and severity of acne.

SUBJECT B (FEMALE): Subject B presented with diffused redness consistent with mild rosacea. Subject received 10 phototherapy treatments, 2 treatments per week for 5 weeks. Results show a reduction in redness and an improvement in overall skin tone and texture.

SUBJECT C (FEMALE): Subject C presented with mild Vitiligo. Subject received 8 phototherapy treatments, 2 a week for 4 weeks. Results show a reduced appearance of vitiligo and surrounding redness, and better overall skin tone and texture.

SAPPHIRE PHOTONLITE – THE BEST IN PHOTOTHERAPY

The Sapphire Photonlite LED phototherapy system was put together by a European Engineer who worked amongst many other systems aware of their pro’s and con’s. From careful review of machines on the market he developed a phototherapy machine that would provide a greater treatable surface area and fixed polychromatic LED panels. Many systems on the market use a small or single panel of LED’s or require panels to be changed for each colour. The Photonlite was designed to provide the best treatment with minimal customer discomfort, with maximum results. Key areas which make the Sapphire Photonlite a superior machine in its class:

  • Reliability of the equipment: Equipment is manufactured in Australia using quality materials. All machines are quality control tested before shipping.
      
  • New Technological Advancements: 4 Monochromatic and 9 Polychromatic programs allow for a greater range of treatments using the same LED panels. No changing of panels throughout the treatment.
     
  • Safety: Eye goggles are provided for client comfort as the lights are very bright, however the lights will not cause any harm to the eyes. Treatments are non-invasive and safe to the skin.
     
  • Flexibility: Sapphire Photonlite machines have been designed to provide a range of treatments using the application of 4 colour wavelengths. Combined, these programs target the underlying effects of many conditions such as acne, psoriasis and photoaging, plus provide gentle skin rejuvenation.

OK, now you have the facts on our new Photonlite treatment we would like to encourage you to try it for yourself.
