Beauty Lounge FAQs

Q. How long will I have to use the Beauty Lounge before I see results?

A. Some people see results in as little as a few days and others take a month or two to notice a change. Various physical conditions, age, skin condition, diet, alcohol consumption, prescription drug usage, smoking, exercise, and other factors influence the rate of improvement. The effects of these lights are often subtle at first, since unlike lasers, peels and other ablative treatments, this light does not damage the skin to force it to regenerate. Your results will improve the longer you use the light; so though you should see improvement in 60 days, you should see a much more significant change after you've been using it for 3 months..

Q. Is Red light safe for sensitive skin?

A. If you have very sensitive skin it might be a good idea to start with a shorter treatment time and work up to the full treatment. Also, be sure to start with clean skin... lotions could heat up and cause a problem. If there is any redness or discomfort after treatment, applying a damp cloth afterwards may help calm down your skin.

Q. Will Red light help my rosacea?

A. We have seen rosacea patients who benefited from using the light, and there have been a few who found they could not use it. If you have rosacea I would recommend going slow at first to see how your skin reacts.

Q. Will Red light therapy help with acne or blemishes?

A. Although the anti-aging photo rejuvenation lights were not designed specifically to handle acne and blemishes, the light waves stimulate the skin's natural healing process which helps in the treatment of acne, pimples and blemishes.

Q. How does Red light therapy work?

A. RED light stimulates and activates skin cells and promotes blood circulation. VISIBLE red light penetrates to a depth of about 8-10 mm, and is beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points, and is particularly effective in treating infections. INVISIBLE red light (infrared) is the longest wave length, and penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm, which makes it more effective for bones, joints, deep muscles, etc. Infrared light is absorbed by the skin and used as a source of energy to stimulate fibroblast cell activity in the skin, which increases the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for your skin's tone and elasticity. Most infrared lights produce both red and infrared wavelengths, and are effective for rejuvenating aging skin as well as treating acne and blemishes.

Q. Will the Beauty Lounge help with hyper-pigmentation (age spots) or scarring?

Q. Can Red light treatment be used on someone who has been treated recently with Botox® injections?

A. Although the light would cause no harm to the tissue, since it has a regenerative effect it might shorten the life of the paralyzing effect of Botox, so the person might want to avoid using the light around the injected areas until the Botox wears off.

Q. Will the Photo Rejuevanation System work for stretch marks and loose skin on the stomach?
