The principle:
The skin consists of 3 layers. 1. The Epidermis, 2. The Dermis and 3. The
Subcutaneous. The epidermis is the tough outer skin layer that protects us from
harmful external infl uences. This skin layer consists of cells that are constantly
being renewed.
The layer under this is the dermis. Collagen makes up ¾ of the dermis. This is the
tissue that gives our skin its fi rmness. In the dermis there are also fi broblasts
which are responsible for the production of collagen. The layer under this, the
subcutaneous layer, stores energy and keeps us warm.
Seecret uses the natural self-healing powers of the skin. The unique red light
with a wave length of 620 nm misleads the skin into thinking that skin damage
has occurred. Because of this, the repairing process starts, resulting in the skin
becoming younger. The cells responsible for this process are called fi broblasts.
The red light from the Seecret lamps ensures that these cells are provided with
energy as a result of which they can produce more collagen. This red light also
stimulates the blood circulation and the skin’s healing powers.
Of all types of visible light, only red light is capable of penetrating deep enough
into the skin in order to activate cells for the skin rejuvenation process. The
process also activates cells that are not directly radiated.
Some other skin rejuvenation processes fi rst damage the skin, as a result of
which the repair process is initiated. Seecret is a stimulation process by which
the skin gradually rejuvenates naturally and without injury.
The light from the Seecret lamps make you look good, the Vita D + lamps make
you feel good. The Vita D + lamps stimulate the production of Vitamin D. Vitamin
D is essential for building up the bone structure and also has a positive eff ect on
the metabolism as well as reducing blood pressure. The unique combination of
encouraging vitamin D production and rejuvenation of your skin ensures that
you feel fi tter, more agreeable and perhaps also healthier.
Session build up:
Like all safe and painless skin stimulation methods, just one Seecret treatment
alone, will not improve the skin. Skin aging is a process of years and one session
of 12 minutes cannot undo that. A build up series is necessary to reduce the age
of the skin. 2-3 build up sessions per week are necessary over a period of 2-3
months. After approximately 1 month the fi rst results are visible and after 2-3
months your skin is at its optimal level. After this, 2 sessions per month are
needed in order to keep your skin up to level. The session length is dependent on
your skin type. A darker skin lets less light into the deeper skin layers where cell
activation occurs. This is why the session length for dark skin is 14 minutes vs. 12
minutes for licht skin.
Each session provides your cells with new energy. This energy is retained for a period of time, so that your cells have enough energy until the next session. If,
between two sessions, you have been exposed to conditions that age the skin, then an extra session can address this damage directly.
General information on Seecret
Seecret off ers you a relaxing skin stimulation therapy which results in your skin looking years younger. The light from the Seecret lamps activates
the cells which produce collagen leaving your skin looking fi rmer and smoother.
