Aesthetic Medicine and the Immune System.
Two sides of the same coin

Currently the IMMUNE SYSTEM is one of the most effective ways of fighting COVID 19, a virus unknown to us until just a few months ago. The immune system is a body defense weapon against pathogenic agents that can unleash very different illnesses on humans. They are made up of tissue and cells that spread in the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Immunity is associated to the activity of a specific type of white blood cell ( lymphatics) that circulate in the body through the blood vessels. It has been proven that Led light therapy, at specific wavelengths, can strengthen the immune system reducing the risks of contracting bacteria and viruses.

Red Led light therapy will cause temporary limited trauma in the penetrated cells. This negative pressure however will lead to the cells reacting positively through their natural anti inflammatory and anti oxident actions. As a result the human body will become better prepared to react to an exposure to viruses and other types of infections in general and SUCCESSFULLY combat the disease.

BLUE LED LIGHT AND VITAMIN D3

More specifically, certain ultraviolet wavelengths increase the Vitamin D3 levels in the body. This vitamin is generated primarily through the effects of exposure to daylight. It is important to underline that only a third of the daily requirements derive from food intake and can be obtained through Vitamin supplements.; the remaining part must be absorbed by the body exclusively through exposure to light. Vitamin D3 acts on the skin surface; the skin absorbs the ultraviolet component of sunlight and interacts with dehydrocholesterol ( derived from cholesterol).

The condensed Vitamin D3 on the skin surface is transported by a specific protein first, at hepatic level and subsequently at renal level, and, as a result is activated in the space of 48 hours from exposure to sunlight.

An adequate concentration of Vitamin D3 in the body acts on the immune system receivers, increasing the levels of efficiency in their function as an effective ‘weapon’ against pathogenic agents. In the Summer months it is extremely important to at least briefly expose face and arms to sunlight on a daily basis to guarantee the correct amount of skin surface Vitamin D3.

Blue led light therapy increases the level of Vitamin D3 in the body and makes up for lack of exposure to direct sunlight

A treatment of Blue Led Therapy at a specific wavelength can increase the Vitamin D3 level in the body required to activate an efficient immune system, a natural weapon against bacteria and viruses

INFRARED LED LIGHT AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Tests have proven that LED therapy boosts the body’s immune system. Studies show that cells exposed to LEDs will actually grow between 150% – 200% faster than cells not stimulated by this light. Red light therapy for example promotes the proliferation of both MAST CELLS, that control the chemical signals sent to the immune system in case of intrusion by external agents such as BACTERIA and VIRUSES, and MACROPHAGES that attack external elements, engulfing and eliminating them.

Infrared led light can greatly increase the proliferation of Lymphocytes present in white blood cells. Together with macrophages the lymphocytes represent a nucleus of an acquired immunity. Their function plays a very important part in producing antibodies that, bind with a specific antigen and subsequently destroy it. The lymphocytes produce immunoglobulin (antibodies) and toxins that demolish cellular bacteria or other types identified as alien to the human body

HYGIENE AND NO PHYSICAL CONTACT.

Without doubt, once we have all returned to our daily lives, all of us will pay much more attention to hygiene and less physical contact. Both of these issues have been at the centre of the battle against COVID 19 and we are convinced that they will play a much more important role in everything we do.

As a result we believe that all our communication must place greater emphasis on the fact that LED therapy is the only non skin contact system in aesthetics. All other systems rely on touching the skin, sometimes for long periods, greatly increasing the risks of cross contamination.

The Tuenda Keep unit is the safest way to provide beauty treatments. This feature must be underlined when presenting the system to possible end users emphasizing that this issue will also be of extreme importance to those undergoing the treatment making it easier to convince them to undergo this type of theraphy.
