Our Skin Ages in Two Ways

Intrinsic Factors

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.

Extrinsic Factors

External factors, known as extrinsic aging factors, notably impact skin aging. Prolonged exposure to the sun, especially to UV radiation, leads to photoaging with wrinkles and sunspots. Poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, and repetitive facial expressions further contribute to extrinsic aging.

Ageing

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.

Acne

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.

Redness

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.

Dark Spots

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.

Verified Science

For over seven decades Low-Level Light Therapy has been researched, tested and approved by scientists. Thanks to modern technological advancements, Waba allows home users to benefit from light therapy.

Precise wavelengths and high power

WABA Eclatia delivers three wavelengths and uses separate LEDs for each, ensuring precise wavelengths and high power. Our device features ceramic LEDs and boards combined inside an aluminum housing, providing excellent thermal management. This design ensures a consistent delivery of photons while eliminating the risk of thermal hotspots.

Skin Contact is Best

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].

Beam shaping

Unlike traditional LED devices, our innovation lies in gathering and controlling the direction of photons with a reflector-diffuser combination design. This advanced method not only optimizes light distribution but also maximizes energy efficiency by minimizing waste. With precision engineering, we deliver near-coherent light, ensuring that every photon contributes to your skin’s health and vitality.
