What Is Gentlewaves?
Gentlewaves is a low-intensity, light-based treatment that uses patented LED technology to stimulate collagen production and cellular activity in the skin. Unlike other forms of light therapy, Gentlewaves employs a unique cascade of light energy that triggers natural healing and rejuvenation processes in the skin without causing any thermal damage or irritation.
This FDA-approved photomodulation system is designed to address signs of aging, sun damage, redness, and even improve skin texture and tone. By targeting the mitochondria within skin cells, Gentlewaves boosts ATP production, which accelerates the repair and renewal of tissues.
How Gentlewaves Helps Our Patients
Gentlewaves is perfect for patients seeking an effective, non-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of their skin. Whether you are preparing for a big event, recovering from more aggressive treatments, or simply want to keep your skin healthy and vibrant, Gentlewaves offers consistent and visible benefits.
Here are just a few ways Gentlewaves helps our patients:
-
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Gentlewaves increases collagen and elastin synthesis, helping smooth out expression lines and restore firmness.
-
Improves Skin Texture: Patients often notice softer, more refined skin texture after a series of treatments.
-
Minimizes Redness: Gentlewaves calms inflammation and promotes a more even skin tone.
-
Enhances Post-Treatment Recovery: This therapy is frequently used to accelerate healing after laser procedures, microneedling, or injectables.
-
Stimulates Natural Repair: Gentlewaves energizes skin cells at the mitochondrial level, triggering regenerative mechanisms that slow with age.
Gentlewaves is not only effective on the face but can also be used on the neck, chest, and hands—areas often prone to signs of aging. Best of all, it takes only a few minutes per session, making it an easy addition to any skincare routine.

What to Expect During Your Gentlewaves Treatment
A Gentlewaves treatment at our office is quick and completely painless. There is no need for topical numbing, and you can return to your regular activities immediately afterward.
Here’s what a typical session looks like:
-
Consultation: We start with a skin assessment to understand your goals and design your Gentlewaves protocol.
-
Cleansing: Your skin will be gently cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or sunscreen.
-
LED Therapy: You’ll lie back as the Gentlewaves device emits soothing pulses of light over your face or treatment area. The session lasts about 30 seconds.
-
Aftercare: Since the treatment is non-thermal and non-invasive, no post-treatment care is needed. However, we may recommend skincare products to support your results.
Patients typically undergo a series of treatments spaced a few days to a week apart, depending on their goals. Many see improvement after just a few sessions, with optimal results developing over time as collagen production increases.
