LHE Light Heat Energy Is a Safe Long-Term Solution

Doctors have known for years that certain wavelengths
of light directed deep into the hair follicle could result
in damage to the follicle and its ability to regrow.
Now there’s a revolutionary new treatment technology,
called LHE (Light Heat Energy), that combines light and
heat for effective long-term hair removal with virtually
no harmful side effects.  LHE is a safe and simple procedure. It has been used successfully in clinics around the world to help people with all types of hair and on most types of skin.

What to Expect from LHE Therapy

Like any long-term hair removal treatment, LHE can only remove hair that is in its growth phase at the time of treatment.  Individual hairs go into their growth phase at different times.  In order to remove all of the unwanted hairs during their growth phase, doctors usually schedule a series of LHE treatments spaced one to three months apart.  A typical treatment session takes from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the body area being treated.  Our doctor will provide you details about your
treatment and prepare a plan that’s right for you.

Is LHE Therapy Right for Me?

LHE is used safely and effectively worldwide to
remove all types of hair, fine to coarse, light to dark,
on most types of skin anywhere on the body.  Of course,
as with all medical procedures, your doctor will discuss
your candidacy for treatment based on your own needs.
The heat is on to get rid of unwanted hair! Ask your
doctor about Radiancy Systems powered by LHE, the
only treatment that combines light with heat for safe
long-term hair removal.

 

Flashes of broad-spectrum light and heat from the LUA are applied to the target area.

The light selectively targets the melanin in the hair, elevating the temperature inside the follicle.

Direct heat assists coagulation of the hair bulge and root by further raising the temperature inside the follicle.

The combined energy of the light and heat results in subsequent coagulation of the hair follicle. A natural process eliminates the destroyed hair.

The result is long-term hair removal for hair-free skin.

LHE Light Heat Energy Smoothes & Freshens Your Skin

One new scientific development is a revolutionary
treatment technology that combines light and heat to
treat aging or sun-damaged skin gently and effectively.
Called LHE (Light Heat Energy), it delivers special
wavelengths of light with heat that restore smoother,
younger-looking skin.  LHE has been clinically proven to treat the effects of aging and sun exposure on all types of skin.  It has been used successfully for benign brown and red blemishes, broken blood vessels, uneven skin tone, rough skin texture and other common skin conditions.
Patients have found LHE to be simple and safe.
Treatments require no down time and cause no harmful
side effects.

What to Expect from LHE Therapy

LHE is non-abrasive and non-invasive.  A treatment
session lasts 15 minutes or less.  Most patients notice
results after their first treatment.  Complete results usually
take three to six office visits.  Our doctor will provide you
details about your treatment and prepare a plan that’s right
for you.

Is LHE Right for Me?

If you’ve been touched by time or the sun, it is.  LHE is used in clinics around the world to treat all types of skin. However, as with all medical procedures, your doctor will discuss your candidacy for treatment based on your own condition. The heat is on for smoother, fresher skin! Ask your doctor about LHE, the only treatment that combines
light with heat to restore the beauty that is you.

As the skin ages and is exposed to the elements of nature, it suffers from degradation and imperfections.

Using LHE technology, short pulses of light and heat selectively target and coagulate chromophores in the epidermis and papillary dermis.

Oxy-hemoglobin in vascular lesions and melanin in pigmented lesions are coagulated. The coagulated cells are eliminated by a natural process and replaced by new cells.

For fine lines and wrinkles, LHE creates a mild thermal insult to the dermal-epidermal junction. The insult triggers a wound-healing process and new collagen remodels under an undamaged outer layer.

LHE results in clearer, smoother, younger looking skin and leads to high patient satisfaction.

Clear Your Acne

LHE Light Heat Energy Clears Acne Safely & Effectively

Acne-causing bacteria can only live where there is no oxygen.  Doctors now know that exposing the clogged
pores to special wavelengths of light causes a
photothermal reaction that releases oxygen, killing the
bacteria.  Research has produced a revolutionary new treatment technology that combines light and heat to clear acne.  Called LHE (Light Heat Energy), it delivers both light and heat deep into the clogged pores.There, LHE kills bacteria and reduces inflammation safely and effectively.
In as few as four weeks of using ClearTouch™ powered
by LHE, patients have experienced up to 90% clearance
of their acne. Patients have found ClearTouch to be
safe and simple, causing no harmful side effects.

What to Expect from ClearTouch Therapy

It typically takes eight ClearTouch treatments over a four-week period to achieve maximum results.  A treatment session lasts about 15 minutes depending on your acne condition.  Your doctor will provide you details about your treatment and prepare a plan that’s right for you.

Is ClearTouch Right for Me?

Clearly it is.  In clinics around the world, ClearTouch powered by LHE is used effectively to clear mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris on all types of skin. However, as with all medical procedures, your doctor will discuss your candidacy for treatment based on your own needs.  If you’ve got acne, the heat is on for clear results! Ask your
doctor about ClearTouch with LHE, the only treatment that
combines light with heat to clear acne in as few as four weeks.

Blocked pores create a closed anaerobic environment that leads to rapid buildup of a P. acnes colony under the skin.

LHE clears acne safely and effectively with a series of concentrated pulses of light and heat. The green wavelength light penetrates deep into the skin to cause proliferation of porphyrins, resulting in the destruction of P .acnes. The concentrated pulse is up to 10,000 times more effective in porphyrin activation than the continuous wave light used by other light-based technologies. The red wavelength produces anti-inflammatory results. The addition of heat, unique to the LHE method, further increases the effectiveness by opening the skin pores and producing a faster chemical reaction.

LHE results in up to 90% clearance of acne blemishes after a series of 8 treatments
