LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) produce a constant source of High Density & High Intensity Pure Light at a specific Color/Wavelength. LED’s are used in a number of industries and can vary significantly in energy output. For skin treatments, they are normally positioned in an array to produce an accumulative effect, directing the light energy onto a particular area of the body.

In the aesthetic industry, LED light is used as a pain-free alternative to other light treatments, it enhances and prolongs other aesthetic treatments, and is used to treat a number of non-aesthetic conditions (e.g. wound healing, stress management, pain relief etc).

LED light improves skin health on a cellular level, promoting Elastin and Collagen production by stimulating the cells to work harder. This results in improved cell health, extending the lifetime of cells, and reducing inflammation, which leads to a marked improvement in the skin condition.

RED Light - enhances cell stimulation and proliferation, promoting skin regeneration and reducing inflammation
BLUE Light – promotes oxygen production to destroy P. Acne bacteria

ProPDT is the most flexible system available, enabling the use of both red and blue light either individually or together on the same treatment head (Magenta). Intensity levels can be adjusted on each wavelength as well as the mix of each color.

Due to the power and versatility of the ProPDT, a wide number of treatments can be made. It is highly effective as a combination treatment to enhance the effects of facials, chemical peels, botox, restylane, microdermabrasion and pulsed light treatments, or as a standalone treatment on rejuvenation and acne.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q. Why LED technology?
Research has shown that powerful LED's are able to have beneficial bio-stimulation effects on the skin which alleviate the damage caused by aging and the sun, and use in combination with other topical treatments further enhances the overall effects.

In the 2006 Global Aesthetics Market Survey it was forecasted that LED therapy will be one of the fastest growing aesthetic technologies over the next 3 years.

Q. On what body areas can I use ProPDT?
ProPDT™ can be used on any area of the body, but is most commonly used on the face, chest and back.

Q. How safe is the treatment?
All ProPDT™ treatments are completely safe for all skin types and contain only visible light with no UV present. Only a slight warming sensation is felt during treatment due to the absorption of light into the skin. Goggles are provided for your comfort.

Q. What's the difference between LED and VIPL?
There is a significant difference between these two methods of treatment – LED and VIPL™ can be used in conjunction with each other, increasing the effects of each treatment. One treatment method does not make the other redundant.

For example, in Photorejuvenation treatments, ProPDT™ LED uses a photo-biological (noninflammatory) effect, which improves the health & prolongs the lifespan of cells such as Elastin & Collagen, whereas VIPL™ produces a photothermal (inflammatory) effect to stimulate collagen production.

Q. Do you have detailed treatment protocols?
This versatile system is a breakthrough in LED technology, delivering a constant stream of rejuvenating light. Powered by high

intensity LED’s using red and blue light, ProPDT™ has the power and flexibility to reduce the signs of ageing and improve the tone and texture of the skin. Offering 3 different light settings, red, blue and combined red and blue, ProPDT™ can be personalised by the therapist to suit each client’s skin type and condition. The power output can also be altered to ensure the most efficient treatment is provided every single time. ProPDT can be used as a stand alone treatment and also gives impressive results when used in conjunction with other treatments.

Multiple treatment options Large treatment area Fully adjustable intensity levels Flexible height adjustment Fully adjustable treatment times Fully flexible positioning systems Dual fan air-cooling system

A. Yes – we will give you all protocols for effective use of the ProPDT™ system during your product training.

Q. What training is provided for ProPDT™?
ProPDT™ training is much more straightforward than VIPL™ system training, however comprehensive training is important and is provided with the system. ProPDT™ does not require constant supervision, so no downtime for salons clinics.

Q. Why dual light LED's? What is the benefit?
ProPDT™ uses high quality Dual Emitting diodes – two small light emitting diodes in the same component. This enables the two colours to be emitted either individually or simultaneously, whilst maintaining the same coverage. The intensity of each colour can be altered by the user, not just in intensity but also the ratio of red/blue to be emitted. Research has shown that the combination of red and blue light has had strong positive effects in the treatment of Acne:

‘We propose that blue light and red light may act synergistically in improving acne by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, rendering phototherapy with blue-red light an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris' A Chu et al, British Journal of Dermatology 2000

Additionally, Goldberg et al, reporting in the Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy, June 2006, said that ‘Combination blue and red LED therapy appears to have excellent potential in the treatment of mild to severe acne. Treatment appears to be both pain and side-effect free'

Q. Apart from Acne, what else can be
effectively treated by ProPDT™?
High intensity LED has been reported to
be effective in the following treatments: antiageing,
skin regeneration and rejuvenation,
stimulating the cell mitochondria , improving the
uptake of applied Cosmeceuticals, soothing,
relaxing & stress relief, pain relief, and posttreatment
recovery.
