What can I expect from Light Sources Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” treatments?
Treatments using red light will improve skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, help reduce pore size, encourage vibrant, healthier-looking skin, and reduce wrinkles. Anti-aging red light therapy stimulates circulation and repairs the elastin fibers within tissue to help keep skin firm.

Are red light treatments safe? What does the FDA say?
According to the FDA, red light at 633nm has a “non-significant risk” status and is completely safe for the eyes. Red light penetrates tissue to a depth of 8 – 10 mm, delivering energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself.

How does Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” work?
Red light at 633nm is absorbed by the mitochondria of the cell and stimulates intracellular energy transfer (ATP) production for enhanced cell vitality and permeability, increased production of new collagen, and increased turnover of collagen and elastin fibers. Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells grow 150 – 200 percent faster when exposed to certain light wavelengths, and research has shown red light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue.

Does red light therapy produce the same light as from the sun? Can it damage my skin?
Too much sunlight can affect the skin due to the emission of broad spectrum ultraviolet energy through the atmosphere. Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” lamps utilize the visible spectra of light at 633nm (red), but contain no UVA or UVB rays.

How does red light therapy differ from laser treatments?
Red light therapy does not cut, burn, or break the skin as with laser treatments. Lasers use heat and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” lamps produce no vaporization or burning of tissue, and therefore no inflammation or erythema. Red light therapy is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and mottled skin tone.

How soon do results become noticeable?
There are few immediate changes to skin, as change occurs naturally over a period of weeks. Everyone reacts differently, depending on their age and the condition of their skin. In general, best results are achieved over an 8 – 12 week period.

Does Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” treat acne, age spots, and sun damage?
Red light helps remove the bacteria that causes acne, and generates cellular activity that deals with age spots and sun damage. Anti-aging red light therapy brightens skin and reduces the formation of pigmentation marks.

Does red light treat cellulite?
No, there are no studies suggesting that cellulite is treatable with red light therapy.

Does red light therapy work equally well on all skin types?
Rejuvenessence “Collagen Plus” therapy is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. The main prerequisite is that skin be clean for effective light transmission.

How long do the results last?
Results depend on the length of treatment and the original conditions being treated. Skin rejuvenation is a dynamic process. If maintenance treatments are discontinued, natural expression lines will gradually return over the course of time, at which point re-treatment can be put in place.

What causes aging? The aging of human skin is affected by
numerous factors. As a result of internal and external factors,
the skin changes constantly from infancy to adulthood.
Structural and functional changes occur within the dermis layer.
The dermis layer is the supporting layer and the epidermis
is the outer visible layer of skin. The skin’s metabolism and
natural functions start declining from the age of 25. Aging means that the cells of our skin are unable to replenish
themselves properly and over time the skin’s natural protective external barrier to defend against bacteria is
weakened. This results in dry complexion, wrinkles, sensitive skin and loss of skin elasticity. After the age of 45,
the skin will start to become thinner – making it more vulnerable to damage caused by environmental factors.
Research studies, many experts and dermatologists indicate that red light emitted by collagen lamps stimulates
and activates the production of collagen and elastin. These are the main proteins that contribute to our skin’s
elasticity, texture, and tone.

What can I expect from the use of collagen fluorescent lamps? Based on research, collagen lamps may improve
skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, help reduce pore size, encourage vibrant looking skin, and
reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The red light also stimulates blood circulation and repairs elastin fibers within
the tissue to help keep the skin firm.

Is red light safe? Using red light emitted from collagen lamps is one of the few methodologies that gently and
harmlessly reduces the signs of aging. Red lamps are free from ultraviolet light and are considered pain free - no
healing or downtime is involved. Invasive anti-aging procedures such as microdermabrasion, dermal fillers and
other injections, chemical peels or laser resurfacing can have serious side effects. When using collagen fluorescent
lamps, a physician should be consulted if light sensitive medication is prescribed or if the consumer suffers from
increased sensitivity to light. Some people may also experience brief warmth (“glow”) following use of collagen
lamps. Finally, as with all other technologies, collagen red light cannot be used indiscriminately with other products
that may themselves cause side effects.

Are there any research studies regarding the use of collagen fluorescent lamps?
Yes. Please check our website www.collagen-lamps.com and read about
Dr. Fiorenzo Angern’s (Piano Hospital Biel, Switzerland) observational study.

Are there any precautions needed when using red light emitted from
collagen lamps?We recommend the use of protective eyewear especially
designed to reduce the level of brightness. We also suggest consulting
with your cosmetic expert or directly contacting the manufacturer of
your collagen fluorescent lamp device. Each unit is unique depending on
the number, wattage and density of lamps in the system. People with the
following conditions should avoid exposure to collagen red light devices:
• if you are photo-allergic or take medication or use cosmetics
that may cause light sensitivity
• if you suffer from porphyria
• if you suffer from epilepsy
• if you take cortisone or steroid injections

What drugs may cause light sensitivity? Drugs that may cause a light sensitive reaction include, for example,
certain antibiotics or anti-malarial drugs, Tetracycline, Digoxin (used for heart irregularities/heart failures) and
photosensitizing drugs that cause cataracts (e.g., tranquilizers, sulfa drugs, oral anti-diabetic drugs, antidepressants
and steroids). Please consult with your doctor before using collagen light therapy if you take any of these medications
or any other medications which may cause light sensitive
reactions.

How does red light emitted from collagen fluorescent
lamps penetrate the skin? Studies have shown that visible
red light penetrates to the bottom of the dermis down to
the fatty layer and it also has beneficial anti-inflammatory
properties. While red light stimulates the skin’s ability to
produce collagen and elastin, it also increases oxygen and
nutrients. Red light in the visible light spectra between
600nm and 700nm also stimulates the skin cell’s vitality
and permeability. Laboratory studies have shown that skin
cells grow up to 150 to 200% faster and deliver powerful
therapeutic benefits to living tissue when exposed to certain
light wavelengths.

Will I get tanned if I go in a full body collagen device?
No, collagen red lamps do not radiate UVA or UVB rays.
There is no tanning effect.

How do I have to prepare my skin before use? Prior to using, the skin in your facial and décolleté area (upper
chest) should be thoroughly washed and cleansed. We recommend using a mild cleansing soap as it improves the
transmission of red light into the skin. In this way it will not be blocked by any particles which can reflect the light.

How does using red collagen light differ from laser treatments? Red light is non-invasive, natural, pain free and
does not cut, burn, or break the skin as do laser treatments. There is also no downtime. Ablative lasers use heat
and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Collagen lamps produce no vaporization or burning of tissue
and therefore no inflammation or burning. Research has shown that using red collagen lamps is one of the few
available non-invasive “tools” that works naturally to alleviate the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and
mottled skin tone.

When will I see results?The anti-aging effect is dependent on the product type (bed, booth, table top, etc.),
skin condition, age as well as number, wattage and density of lamps in the system you are using. Everyone reacts
differently. Research has shown that many people report noticeable results, including improved skin tone, reduction
in pore size and the diminished appearance of age spots within the first 30-60 days of scheduled use. To achieve
maximum results requires commitment by following the device manufacturer’s recommended exposure schedule.

Does red light treat cellulite? No, there are no studies that suggest collagen fluorescent lamps treat cellulite.

Is IPL (Intensed Pulsed Light) or Laser used in the same way as collagen lamps?
No. All of these technologies use “light” as the energy source, but the applications
are highly different. IPL and Laser radiation therapies are considered as invasive
treatments. Patients may suffer from swelling, bruising or long-term skin damage.

How do collagen fluorescent lamps differ from LEDs? Typically, LED
treatments are much more expensive and due to limits in technology and
cost may only focus on small areas of the body at one time. Using red light
collagen products with full body fluorescent lamps can generate a much
higher level and broader spectrum of light energy to the skin giving your
clients more satisfactory results.
