SKIN REJUVENATION WITH THE CULLINAN MASSAGER WITH EMS RF PHOTON SKIN TREATMENT
Introducing the new revolutionary skincare led photon therapy THE CULLINAN™ by SKINNITY® that will take your skincare regimen to the next level. THE CULLINAN™ by SKINNITY® Face Massager uses Four Massaging Legs, Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS), Radio Frequency (RF), and 4 different photons LED light therapy tones (being the last one healing flashing purple light), that will help relax and activate the deep cells, accelerating the skin metabolism, reducing lines and wrinkles, tightening it, boosting collagen and improving the skin color.
These results are of Photon light therapy technology alone as conducted by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
After 30 treatments only!
How does the LED Light therapy work?
The CULLINAN™ by SKINNITY® Face Massager uses LED lights as a source of energy to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells that many times are damaged by acne problems, for example. The energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, boosting the blood circulation and accelerating the repair of the skin tissue. The treatment is simple: place the skin under the light and let our device do all the work with unbelievable effects.
LED light therapy is a proven method of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, backed by numerous research and clinical studies. In aesthetic applications, red light is often emitted through LEDs (light emitting diodes) which produce light energy with very little heat, providing a non-invasive, comfortable experience for the client.
It is a safe and effective technology for clients who wish to naturally reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve their overall appearance. Optimal red light therapy results are achieved with regular use, with the most noticeable reduction of fine lines and wrinkles occurring at 6-8 weeks of treatment.
As demonstrated by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health below showing two series of collagen ultrasonography scans, demonstrating the collagen density increase before and after 30 treatment for one subject.
The wavelength of each light and its common uses are listed below:
620nm (Red Led) mode - For fine lines & wrinkles commonly used for overall anti-ageing. Red light naturally stimulates the production of collagen in skin cells, responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Increased collagen reduces fine lines and wrinkles and shrinks pores, improving skin texture and promoting smooth, youthful skin.
465nm (Blue Led) mode - To eliminate acne & blemishes. Bacteria in acne contain Porphyrins, accumulating in pores and causing breakouts and inflammation. The blue light wave-length kills these light-sensitive Porphyrins both above and below the skin, reducing acne, calming inflammation and redness, and leaving you with a clearer, brighter, smoother complexion.
590nm (Orange) mode - To improve clarity & texture. The Orange light increases the exchange of oxygen within skin cells, stimulating circulation and improving the cells ability to eliminate toxins. Increased toxin elimination improves tone, clarity and texture of skin resulting in a glowing, dewy complexion.
415 - 620nm (Purple Led) mode - Combining the benefits of Red (620nm) and Blue (415nm) light, the purple LED wavelength has an antibacterial effect, helping to treat acne, while also stimulating collagen production to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
*Please note there can be a deviation of ±10nm.
Origin of LED Light Therapy
In an effort to find a solution for growing plants and feeding astronauts in space, NASA enlisted the expertise of plant biologists, who in seeking the answers looked to LED lights. Once LEDs proved to be successful in plant growth, NASA investigated the use of LED therapy in tissue healing and found positive results, also. This research fueled the development of innovative and powerful LEDs that are now used in a variety of aesthetic applications.
Each color of light naturally possesses a different wavelength that penetrates the skin at a specific depth. The light can target layer responsible for collagen and elastin production. Similar to how plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into plant tissue, light can trigger natural, intracellular reactions within our skin layers. Skin damage that results in fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of our skin also occurs in the dermal layer, therefore LED light therapy is a very effective treatment for addressing those concerns.
ELECTRONIC MUSCLE STIMULATION & RADIO FREQUENCY FACIAL TREATMENT
THE CULLINAN™ by SKINNITY® Face Massager also provides your skin with Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) creates "mini-workouts" through gentle electric pulse contractions on your muscles. Hence, it is best used for areas that need lifting and firming. Best for tightening, relaxation, and toning of the muscles, increasing blood circulation. Mostly it's like a facial gym workout -- your facial muscles get toned, leaving you a contoured face. On the other hand, RF therapy uses low-level radiation to heat the skin's deeper layers, inducing new collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin.
What is EMS Microcurrent?
Microcurrent is a clinically tested therapy treatment, and one of the hottest innovations in the anti-aging industry. It is used in top spas and medical offices for facial contouring, toning, and firming of aging skin. Microcurrent is a low-level current that mimics the body’s natural current. while also providing both instant and cumulative anti-aging results.1 Because microcurrent works sub-sensory, the treatment is soothing and most clients feel nothing at all.
Microcurrent is a safe and effective technology for clients who wish to attain and maintain a healthier, younger looking appearance. The results can be so dramatic that microcurrent therapy treatments are often referred to as the "5 Minute Facial Lift®"
Origin of Microcurrent Therapy Treatments
Microcurrent has been used since the 1980s and was originally approved by the FDA as a nerve stimulator for pain relief. With the discovery of microcurrent therapy treatments and their low-level current retraining the patient’s muscles, the FDA approved muscle stimulator provided a new anti-aging application for the cosmetology industry.
How Does Microcurrent Work?
Microcurrent is capable of facial stimulation, sending soft, gentle waves through the skin, tissues and down to the facial muscles.
Microcurrent has been shown to increase ATP concentration and protein synthesis while promoting amino acid uptake.2 ATP is known as Adenosine triphosphate which drives the creation of key structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin, and is the biochemical way to store and use energy. Collagen makes up one-third of a total protein and its auxiliary job can be promptly valued by its bounty in skin, tendon, bone and cartilage. Elastin provides the recoil necessary in tissues such as skin, and certain ligaments.3
This increased ATP also energizes the facial muscles, similar to how exercise energizes the muscles of our bodies. Unlike anywhere else on the body, the facial muscles are directly connected to the skin, so the result of energizing the muscle is often an improved, lifted appearance
