The Science of ClearWave® Scientific studies have confirmed the effectiveness of 414-430 nanometer (nm) blue light, and 630-660nm red light in eliminating acne forming bacteria and promoting healing and the production of collagen in the dermal layer of the skin. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2006 outlined red light LED’s ability to energize the cells, producing increased levels of collagen and elastin.
About Your ClearWave® System The ClearWave® Soothing Skin System provides Natural Spectrum® light for a daily skin care regimen. The System includes two interchangeable heads that provide 600 cycles of use in each. The Blemishes Head uses LEDs to emit blue light at 414 nanometer (nm) to help eliminate bacteria, reduce the appearance of pimples and facial blemishes and prevent future blemishes from forming.

Do not use the ClearWave® Soothing Skin System if you are taking photosensitizing medications or using photosensitizing topical creams. These may cause an adverse reaction.
