Single-Wavelength Photobiomodulation

Optimum-100S

635nm Precision Red Light

Formerly known as the Contour-100S

Clinical-grade 635nm red light therapy engineered for aesthetics, body contouring, fat loss, and wound care. One wavelength, precision-tuned for surface and soft tissue outcomes.

The Optimum-100S (formerly Contour-100S) is MedWave’s single-wavelength panel — delivering precision 635nm red light across a full-body treatment area. Purpose-built for clinics, medispas, and wellness practices focused on aesthetics, body contouring, and skin health.

Where the Neuro-100S combines two wavelengths for systemic and deep tissue therapy, the Optimum-100S channels all 585 LEDs into a single 635nm output — maximising energy delivery to surface and soft tissue layers where aesthetic outcomes are achieved.

One Wavelength. Maximum Impact.

635nm red light is the most studied wavelength in photobiomodulation for aesthetic and surface tissue applications — and the Optimum-100S delivers it at full power.

Body Contouring & Fat Loss

635nm light penetrates adipose tissue and triggers beta-oxidation — the metabolic process that converts stored fat into usable energy. Clinically proven for measurable inch loss and body contouring.

  • Fat Oxidation — Triggers beta-oxidation in fat cells, converting stored lipids into free fatty acids for energy use¹
  • Inch Loss — Clinically demonstrated reduction in waist, hip, and thigh circumference²
  • Collagen Stimulation — Enhances collagen and elastin production for skin tightening alongside fat loss³
  • Non-Invasive — No incisions, no downtime, no consumables. Patients resume normal activity immediately

Skin Rejuvenation & Healing

The same 635nm wavelength that drives fat loss also accelerates cellular repair in skin tissue — making the Optimum-100S equally effective for wound care and skin rejuvenation protocols.

  • Wound Healing — Accelerates tissue repair in cuts, surgical wounds, and chronic ulcers
  • Skin Rejuvenation — Reduces fine lines, improves skin tone, and restores elasticity through increased collagen synthesis³
  • Anti-Inflammatory — Reduces inflammation in surface tissues, aiding recovery from eczema, psoriasis, and post-procedure redness
  • Scar Reduction — Promotes organised collagen remodelling, improving the appearance of scars over time

Built for Clinical Performance.

585 high-output LEDs with precision narrow-lens optics, delivering 1,500W of therapeutic energy at a single optimised wavelength.

What the Optimum-100S Treats.

Purpose-built for aesthetic, body contouring, and skin health applications where 635nm delivers the strongest clinical evidence.

Body Contouring & Fat Loss

The primary application for the Optimum-100S. 635nm light triggers beta-oxidation in adipose tissue, converting stored fat into free fatty acids. Clinically proven for measurable inch loss across waist, hips, and thighs.¹

635nm

Skin Rejuvenation

Stimulates collagen and elastin production in the dermal layer. Effective for reducing fine lines, improving skin texture and tone, and restoring a youthful appearance without injectables or downtime.³

635nm

Wound Care & Tissue Repair

Accelerates healing in acute and chronic wounds by enhancing cellular energy and collagen synthesis. Effective for post-surgical recovery, diabetic ulcers, and burns.

635nm

Scar Treatment

Promotes organised collagen remodelling, helping to improve the appearance of hypertrophic scars, keloids, and post-surgical scarring over a treatment course.

635nm

Anti-Inflammatory & Skin Conditions

Reduces inflammation in surface tissues, benefiting conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and post-procedure redness. Supports faster recovery between aesthetic treatments.

635nm

Cellulite Reduction

Improves the appearance of cellulite by stimulating circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, and enhancing collagen structure in the skin and underlying connective tissue.²

635nm

Simple, Consistent Results.

The Optimum-100S is designed for high-throughput aesthetic clinics with consistent, repeatable treatments requiring minimal practitioner intervention.

1

Position the Panel

Place 4–6 inches (10–15cm) from the body for optimal light absorption across the full treatment area.

2

Front of Body — 10 Minutes

Full 635nm exposure targeting adipose tissue, skin layers, and soft tissue from the anterior side.

3

Back of Body — 10 Minutes

Complete the session with posterior exposure for comprehensive body contouring and skin treatment.

4

Repeat 2–3x Per Week

Allow at least a day between sessions. For body contouring, pair with whole body vibration or exercise post-session to accelerate fat metabolism.

Session Duration

20 Minutes

10 minutes front, 10 minutes back. Quick enough to integrate into existing treatment menus without disrupting your schedule.

Recommended Pricing

$100 – $150 (US) / R499 – R699 (SA)

Per session for full-body treatment. Consider bundling with complementary services like body wraps, whole body vibration, or skin treatments for added value and higher ticket prices.

Practitioner Notes

Patients should wear protective eyewear during sessions. Encourage hydration and light exercise post-treatment to support fat metabolism and enhance body contouring results.

The Science Behind 635nm.

635nm red light is the most extensively studied wavelength for aesthetic and surface tissue applications in photobiomodulation research.

01 — Mechanism

Fat Cell Beta-Oxidation

635nm light creates transient pores in adipocyte membranes, releasing stored triglycerides as free fatty acids and glycerol. These are then metabolised through beta-oxidation — the body’s natural process of converting fat into usable energy.¹

02 — Mechanism

Collagen & Elastin Synthesis

635nm light stimulates fibroblast activity in the dermis, increasing production of collagen type I and III as well as elastin. This leads to firmer, more elastic skin and improved wound healing.³

03 — Mechanism

Mitochondrial Activation

635nm photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, boosting ATP production. This provides cells with the energy needed for repair, regeneration, and metabolic function.

04 — Mechanism

Anti-Inflammatory Response

635nm light reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and promotes anti-inflammatory mediators, helping to calm inflammation in skin conditions, post-procedure recovery, and wound healing.
