What makes our light treatment different?
Contour Light is the latest advancement in non-invasive body contouring and skin rejuvenation technology. Naturally slim, shape and tone all areas of the body safely without surgery or pain. Contour Light is effective on body areas that are resistant to diet and exercise: waist, hips, thighs, arms and chin.
Unlike ultrasound, radio frequency, laser light, or freezing, LED-based therapies like the Contour Light do not cause cellular damage. Not only does the Contour Light not cause damage or pain, it has actually been shown to promote a natural healing response in the body.
The Contour Light delivers both mid-600nm and infrared light via high-powered, German-made, surface mount microchip LEDs that are imbedded in a soft and flexible pad. The pads can be easily applied to any area of the body, conforming to the contours of a patient. Because of the Contour Light’s patent-protected reflective coating, the light that would normally bounce off the skin is reflected back, resulting in a much higher retention of light energy than with other similar devices. No other system has this reflective coating. A Contour Light session is pain-free, with no heat or discomfort, and is safe to operate for both the patient and the technician.
In our office, we use this advanced technology for more than just fat loss and skin tightening on the body. We also use a face mask for skin tightening that helps increase collagen and elastin resulting in more youthful looking skin on the face and neck. Our newest updated technology also allows us to treat chronic pain with lights 2x's stronger than ever before.
State of the Art Technology
100 times more powerful than any other light on the market.
1 treatment is equal to seven 30 minute cardio workouts.
The specific frequency tells your body you are exercising while you are relaxing on the table.
Science and Research
The Science Behind the Light
The science behind the 635 nanometer technology started in the late 1990's when a Columbian physician discovered that exposing a patient to mid-600nm light prior to liposuction made the procedure much easier to perform. The patients who were exposed to the light and underwent liposuction surgery immediately afterward had fat that was much easier to extract, as if it had been melted while still in their bodies. To determine what occurred in this process, a clinical study was performed that involved fat cells from 12 subjects being exposed to 635 nm light energy. Within 6 minutes of exposure, 99% of the cell contents were released through the cell membrane wall, allowing these openings to release the contents of the cell. Additional clinical studies have proven that this release of the cell contents cause the patient to experience a reduction in the circumference of the treated area.
One study involved 689 patients showing an average loss of 5 INCHES. When the mitochondria of the fat cells are stimulated by the 635nm light energy, referred to as photo-biostimulation, a signal is generated that opens the transient pores of the cell wall, resulting in a release of the contents of the cell. These contents are triglycerides, fatty acids, and glycerol. At this point, the fat cell deflates much like a balloon that is emptied of its air volume. The cell contents are deposited in the interstitial region which is then carried to the liver, processed, and released to the kidneys resulting in the elimination of those fatty acids. If the patient is drinking a sufficient amount of water and gets minimal exercise immediately after the exposure to the light, their lymphatic system will be stimulated and their interstitial region will be flushed of the excess fatty acids. Once the interstitial area has been vacated of the majority of the fatty acids, the studies proved that the treated area of their body will become reduced in circumference. All patients will do a 10 minute session on the vibration plate immediately following each session.
NASSAU Uses Near Infrared Light Therapy with the Military
Nassau uses Near Infrared light therapy with the military to help heal tissues and wounds in our soldiers. It's effective and tested for treatments on many conditions causing pain and inflammation. Light energy is not only essential to life, it provides powerful support to the body's natural healing process.
Our 635 & 880 nm wavelengths penetrates tissues at different depths and is naturally absorbed by the cells as it helps with ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP energy is required for cell repair and regeneration. This LED also facilitates the release of Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide improves the body's natural blood flow circulation. It's a gas-signaling molecule that relaxes the arteries and reduces blood pressure. When you have improved circulation, this promotes healing and relieves pain.
