What Is It?
MedWave’s Contour 1100 nm system (also referred to as “Narrow Light Technology™”) is an advanced photobiomodulation (light therapy) device designed to deliver concentrated near‑infrared light deep into tissue. Unlike broad-spectrum LED panels, this technology aims to combine precision and depth—stimulating cells, enhancing recovery, and supporting body contouring without surgery or downtime.
​
How It Works
  • The system emits a near‑infrared / red light wavelength (centered around 1100 nm or other clinically tuned wavelengths) that penetrates several centimeters into tissue.
  • At the cellular level, this light stimulates mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP (cellular energy) production and enhancing cell function.
  • In adipose (fat) cells, the energy encourages “opening” of the cell walls, releasing stored lipids (e.g. free fatty acids, glycerol, water) which are then processed naturally by the lymphatic and vascular systems.
  • The process is supported by adjunct vibration / metabolic activation platforms, which improve circulation, lymphatic flow, and metabolic clearance around treatment zones.
  • Treatments typically last under 30 minutes, with no invasive procedures, no heat damage, and no recovery time.
Benefits & Claims
Inch / fat reduction: Noticeable decrease in circumference in targeted areas (abdomen, thighs, arms) even after early sessions
Skin tightening & contouring: Stimulation of collagen and elastin production, smoother surface texture
Pain & inflammation relief: Support for chronic pain, joint discomfort, inflammation via photobiomodulation
Recovery & healing: Faster repair of soft tissues, reduced soreness, improved circulation
No downtime: Users can return to daily activities immediately
*Many clinics report that patients see measurable change after just 1 to 3 sessions, with fuller results emerging after a series. 
Ideal Candidates & Considerations
  • Ideal For: Individuals close to their target weight who wish to refine and sculpt specific areas; clients seeking a non‑surgical alternative to fat reduction or skin toning. 
  • Not a Weight-Loss Tool: It’s generally not intended for broad weight loss or obesity treatment. It’s best used for contouring and enhancement. 
  • Lifestyle Synergy: To maintain results, healthy eating, hydration, movement (especially to support lymph flow), and consistency are key. 
  • Safety: The treatment is widely regarded as low-risk. Some sensitivity (photosensitivity) is rare, so screening is recommended. 
Why Choose MedWave Contour
  • High Output + Precision: With superior energy delivery via focused optics and multiple LED lenses, MedWave offers enhanced depth and coverage.
  • Scalable & Efficient: Its design allows for treating large regions without repositioning, minimizing treatment time and maximizing convenience. 
  • Clinically Grounded: MedWave backs its claims with many peer-reviewed studies and has been designed for real-world clinical use. 
  • Versatility: It's a multifunctional tool—simultaneously serving aesthetic and therapeutic goals.
