Radiantmax Light Technology for Skin & Hair Rejuvenation & Acne

"Low level laser (LLLT) triggers biostimulative-regenerative processes inside the cell and subsequently causes revitalisation of the tissue as well. Second effect of LLLT refers to the vasodilatation and neovascularisation of local blood and lymph vessels, thus causing a better removal of waste products and, on the other hand, improved oxygenation and nutrition of damaged tissue. Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of LLLT are also significant when irradiating certain dermatological changes." 1Zlatko Simunovic, M.D., F.M.H., 2Tatjana Trobonjaca, M.D. 1Pain Clinic-Laser Center, Locarno, Switzerland 2Laser Center, Opatija, Croatia


Skin Rejuvenation
Pure visible red light increases the metabolic rate of the mitochondria of cells. Mitochondria are the power house of cells & increasing its metabolic rate makes the cell more efficient. Hence, cell activity and blood flow is increased to oxygenate and detox the skin while stimulating collagen production. It gives the skin an instant glow after just 1 treatment. Over a series of treatments, improvements can be seen in skin tone, texture and fine lines.
"LLLT obtains good results in aesthetics due to its three main effects: biostimulative-regenerative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. LLLT can be applied in aesthetics like monotherapy or complementary treatment modality to the topic medications. Frequent indications for LLLT in aesthetics are as follows: - Acne - Cellulite - Striae - Alopecia - Wrinkles - Lentigo senile."

Hair Loss Treatment
Laser rays are directly applied to the scalp so that the hair follicles are “photo-biostimulated” and the supply of red blood cells is enhanced. This will in turn provide more nutrients and oxygen to the scalp, contributing to hair restoration and a healthy hair-growth cycle. This results in improved hair shaft quality and prolongation of the anagen phase (growth phase), which slows down the rate of hair loss. LLLT treatment results in healthier, thicker, denser, and stronger hairs. The scalp is also healthier; dandruff and scalp irritation is reduced or even eliminated.


Combination Treatment Applications
Can be used stand-alone or combined with other treatments e.g. Botox, fillers, IPL, peels, microdermabrasion, etc
* Combine with RadiantBlue to treat acne
* Combine LLLT with Botox – reduce bruising & enhance results
* Post-surgery – reduce edema, bruising & quicken healing & enhance results
* Post- ablative lasers - reduce redness & enhance healing


RadiantBlue LED activates chemicals called porphyrins (which are produced by the P. acnes bacteria responsible for causing acne inflammation) creating intracellular singlet oxygen – inducing bacterial cell death. This is combined with RadiantRed low level laser which has anti inflammatory properties, minimizing the redness of acne lesions and promoting healthier skin.
Correct wavelengths at optimal intensities ensure optimal results.
This reduces the bacterial colonization of the sebaceous gland, reducing sebum production to normal and reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines.
Simultaneously, RadiantBlue induces anti-inflammatory cytokines, stimulating specific immunoregulatory pathways.
Studies have shown combination blue & red phototherapy reduces inflammatory acne lesion count by up to 80% 12 weeks from the end of treatment.


Treatment schedules are usually biweekly of 20 minutes duration each. At least a total of 8 sessions are required to get a good result.
For hair rejuvenation, a home use module is available. For acne & skin rejuvenation, in-clinic treatments are required.
