What is GentleWaves®?

How does GentleWaves® LED pulse light therapy work?

It uses low intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a process similar to photosynthesis in which plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks. The light stimulates production of collagen and elastin, and suppresses collagenase, the enzyme that breaks down collagen and accelerates aging.
