Clinical Aesthetician Kirsten Goodspeed offers LIGHTWAVE LED Light Therapy at Sacramento Medical Spa in Sacramento, California. Using a combination of patented red, infrared, and blue light technology, these sessions help address a wide range of concerns, from acne and sun damage to fine lines, scarring, and skin laxity. LIGHTWAVE is part of a full menu of advanced skincare services that support healthier, more radiant skin at every stage.
What Is LIGHTWAVE Therapy?
LIGHTWAVE is a proprietary LED-based treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at various depths. It delivers light energy directly into the tissues to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and support cellular function. Many clients notice visible improvements after just a few treatments.
What to Expect
LIGHTWAVE treatments are fast, gentle, and relaxing. Sessions typically last about 30 minutes, with an additional 20 minutes for pre- and post-care. Many clients fit them in during a lunch break or between errands. Most report a subtle glow and tighter skin immediately after their appointment, with cumulative results over time.
Aftercare and Results
Everyone’s skin responds differently, but most people begin to see positive changes within a few sessions. Depending on your skin type and goals, a series of treatments may be recommended. Results vary, but the relaxing effects are consistent, and the process is safe for all skin tones and types.
LIGHTWAVE offers a range of preset protocols to treat these common skin concerns:
Anti-Aging: Uses red and infrared light to hydrate, boost collagen and elastin, and improve skin tone. Helps firm sagging areas and reduce fine lines. Ten sessions are recommended, with monthly maintenance.
Pigmentation: Targets sun spots and discoloration caused by product buildup or environmental exposure. Helps normalize melanin in the skin. May be combined with topical or laser treatments for melasma.
Scars: Uses red and infrared light to soften and flatten fibrotic scar tissue while supporting the growth of healthy new skin. Multiple sessions may be needed; resistant scars may require a custom plan.
Preventative Care: Supports skin health by boosting circulation and nutrient delivery. Helps balance dry or oily skin and maintain smooth texture and tone.
Flaccid Skin: Designed to firm and retract loose skin, particularly on the abdomen, chest, and neck, by increasing circulation to damaged areas. Typically requires 10–15 treatments, twice per week.
Discomfort & Pain: Helps with inflammation from trauma, surgery, or chronic joint/muscle discomfort. Reduces scarring and improves recovery within 72 hours of injury or surgery.
