Intrinsic aging is influenced by genetic and biological processes that dictate inherent characteristics of the skin, including thickness and elasticity. As individuals age, the production of essential proteins like collagen and elastin decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness and the emergence of wrinkles
External factors, known as extrinsic aging factors, notably impact skin aging. Prolonged sun exposure, especially to UV radiation, leads to photoaging with wrinkles and sunspots. Poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, and repetitive facial expressions further contribute to extrinsic aging.
Acne is caused by excess oil production, dead skin cell accumulation, and the presence of bacteria. Hormonal changes, genetics, and factors like diet and stress can also contribute.
Skin redness and uneven tone often result from inflammation of blood vessels near the skin's surface, a characteristic of conditions like rosacea. Triggers include exposure to sunlight, certain foods, alcohol, and temperature extremes. Genetic predisposition can also contribute to these issues.
Uneven skin tone, characterized by dark spots or hyperpigmentation, arises from an excess production of melanin, the skin pigment. Common causes include prolonged sun exposure, inflammation, and hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or due to the use of certain medications. Genetic factors can also influence an individual's susceptibility to uneven skin tone concerns.
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from gamma rays to radio waves. The WABA Eclatia utilizes only specific light wavelengths from this spectrum that are safe and scientifically proven to provide skincare benefits.
Problem
Aging skin experiences a decrease in collagen and elastin production, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
The WABA Solution
WABA utilizes red and infrared light, which target chromophores within the skin. These specific wavelengths penetrate the dermal layers, stimulating cellular activity and enhancing mitochondrial function. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, bringing back youthful glow.
Problem
Characterized by persistent breakouts, inflammation, and scarring, acne is driven by bacterial overgrowth and excess sebum production, leading to a cycle of temporary relief and recurring outbreaks that impact self-esteem and quality of life.
The WABA Solution
Using blue light (415nm) to target acne-causing bacteria and regulate sebum production, providing a non-invasive, effective approach to achieving clearer skin and breaking the cycle of recurring outbreaks.
Problem
Skin redness, often associated with conditions like rosacea or general inflammation, can be persistent and difficult to manage.
The WABA Solution
Infrared light promotes cellular repair through increased blood circulation and oxygenation, and reduces oxidative stress, promoting a more even complexion.
Problem
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation issues, such as dark spots or hyperpigmentation, can be challenging to address.
The WABA Solution
Red and infrared light help downregulate melanin production, promote cellular turnover to bring brown spots on the surface, and increase collagen production. This combination of effects provides a more even skin tone.
WABA Eclatia delivers 3 wavelengths and uses separate LEDs for all three ensuring precise wavelengths and high power throughout sessions. Our device uses ceramic LEDs and boards combined with aluminium housing providing excellent thermal management so that the same amount of photons are delivered and excluding the risk of thermal hotspots.
Research indicates that skin can reflect up to 90-95% of red and near-infrared light, with only 10-12% of light irradiance being absorbed in skin models [1,2]. This high reflectance often leads non-contact methods to use potentially harmful high intensities to reach deeper tissues, risking overheating and overdosing surface skin [2]. Our contact method eliminates these inefficiencies by minimizing reflection and maximizing absorption, allowing for precise dosing. This approach aligns with numerous PubMed studies that utilize contact methods with LED clusters, arrays, and lasers to achieve the most accurate dosage and eliminate reflection variability [3].
