What is LED?
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode
• Semiconductor that converts electrical energy into light energy released in the form of photons
• Photons (light energy) can be absorbed by the body’s cells to be used as cellular energy
• As we age, we produce less and less cellular energy
NASA Study Findings Originally developed for NASA plant growth experiments in space Further studies demonstrated:
• Growth increase of between 155% and 171% in normal human epithelial cells
• Wound size decreased up to 36%
• Improvement of greater than 40% in musculoskeletal injuries of Navy SEAL team members The Astroculture3 plant growth chamber successfully uses wavelength-specific red LEDs to induce photo-synthesis and grow plants in space, and has flown on several space shuttle missions.

How LED Light Therapy Works
When under the LightStim device the device emits Light Energy (photons). The light energy is then absorbed by the skins cells, this then fuels the metabolic process. This process synthesizes DNA, RNA, builds proteins, enzymes to repair/regenerate cell components, encourages cell proliferation and supports homeostasis.
Think:
• Photosynthesis in plants
• Solar Energy
LED Light Therapy Facts
• Non-invasive
• Immediate and cumulative results
• Stimulates cellular function
• Offers benefits of sunlight without the damaging effects of UV rays
• Wavelength-specific light (colors) can be used to target specific conditions
Wavelength/Color Objectives
Blue – Destroys P. acnes bacteria Amber and Red – Help build collagen, elastin and other proteins
Red and Infrared – Help build collagen and elastin, accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, promote circulation
About LightStim
LightStim was established in 2001, it began with a single hand held device designed for licensed skincare professionals to help diminish the signs of aging skin. Today LightStim is the largest LED Light Therapy manufacturer in the world. Top Rated Manufacturing & Technology. All products are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA at LightStim’s corporate headquarters in Irvine, California. Every LightStim is:
• FDA and ISO 13485 certified facility
• Lights are FDA cleared and backed by a 2 year warranty
• LightStim technology utilizes the exact wavelengths, heat and intensities of light necessary to achieve optimum results for specific skin conditions
Anti-Aging Light Benefits Immediate:
• Increases blood circulation and oxygenation
• Reduces inflammation
• Accelerates healing
• Minimizes appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles (temporary plumping affect)
• Tones the skin
• Promotes better product absorption (thermal affects)
• Produces a radiant glow
• Visibly improves the results of other services (layering) Cumulative:
• Repairs and rebuilds collagen, elastin and other proteins/ enzymes
• Improves cellular function
• Helps support and maintain results from other services
Cumulative Results – Expectations
• Takes approximately 8 weeks of daily use to begin to see the first signs of improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, with continual improvement thereafter
• After results are achieved, may go to maintenance program of 2-3 times per week, or may continue to use more frequently
• Fine lines and wrinkles will continue to diminish with regular use
• Clients use hand-held lights while watching TV, talking on the phone, etc.
