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 Controuing & 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 ulcers⁴
- 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 redness⁵
- Scar Reduction — Promotes organised collagen remodelling, improving the appearance of scars over time

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
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
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.⁴
Scar Treatment
Promotes organised collagen remodelling, helping to improve the appearance of hypertrophic scars, keloids, and post-surgical scarring over a treatment course.
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.⁵
SIMPLE, CONSISTENT RESULTS.
The Neuro-100S is designed for consistent, repeatable treatments with minimal practitioner intervention.
1. Position the Panel
Place it 4 inches (10-15cm) from the treatment area for optimal light absorption and the full treatment area.
2. Front of Body — 10 Minutes
Start treatment targeting from head to chest and torso, then lower body from the anterior side.
3. Back of Body — 10 Minutes
Complete with additional posterior exposure for comprehensive systemic treatment.
4. Repeat 2-3x Per Week
Allow at least 24 hours between sessions. Therapeutic and maintenance protocols follow the same treatment approach.
SESSION DURATION
20 Minutes
10 minutes front, 10 minutes back. Dual-sided approach provides treatment addressing both localized and general wellness needs.
RECOMMENDED PRICING
R499 - R699
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 position themselves toward starting position. Encourage hydration before and after treatment to enhance cellular response and support metabolic function.
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.⁶
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.⁵
