Can the Pulse40 panel be used without pulsing LED light?

Yes, Maysama’s Pulse40 panel can be used without the pulsing option. We do however recommend pulsed light for optimal results. Pulsed Light offers the following main benefits;

• increases ATP output - more cellular energy drives biological processes, like protein synthesis
• accelerates cell regeneration - produces more of the cells we need to produce collagen
• mitigates a build-up of free radicals to keep your device working optimally for longer
• better light penetration to reach deeper tissue
• enhances stimulation of mitochondria for better biological response
• allows period of rest between pulses, which leads to multiple stimulation events
• allows skin to cool between pulses - better for darker skin tone sensitive to melasma as it prevents overstimulation of melanocytes, which can trigger melasma

If you are struggling to adjust to pulsed light, then please try these top tips;

(i) Always wear your black-out goggles

(ii) Sit at a distance of 9-12 inches away

(iii) Sit in a well-lit room - to reduce the differential between the bright light and your surrounding environment.

(iv) Dim the light to 50% of its intensity (ambient button) - you will still receive an effective treatment

(v) Turn your head at a 25-30 degree angle for half of your treatment and then change sides - this ensures that light is not directed into the retina and reduces the strobing effect

(vi) start with just one minute of pulsed light on the end of your regular red light treatment and gradually build up to 3 minutes and then 6 minutes of pulsed light, reducing your regular red light treatment each time.

If you have tried all of the above and still have not acclimatized to pulsed light, you might want to try just using near infrared light with pulsed light. Near infrared light is invisible to the naked eye, so there is no strobing effect. You will still get all of the above benefits. You could follow your treatment with a red only session on continuous wave, so you receive the benefits of both red and near infrared light.
