What is LED
Light Therapy?
LED light therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to correct cosmetic skin concerns. These wavelengths are different colors, penetrate at a different depth, and have different effects on the skin.
What Does LED Light Therapy Do?
- Improves skin complexion
- Builds collagen for firmer, tighter skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps to correct sun damage
- Performs wound healing and tissue repair
- Improves circulation
- Decreases inflammation
Conditions LED Light
Therapy Targets
Active Acne & Breakouts
LED light therapy’s blue wavelength targets oil glands to make them less active, and has also been clinically shown to kill the P. acnes bacteria that causes mild-to-moderate acne. In addition, the blue light also calms acne breakouts that are already active. As for the red LED light, it reaches deeply into the skin to decrease acne inflammation.
Other Skin Issues
Red LED light works against wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars, and sun damage by triggering collagen, which creates a firmer, smoother, plumper complexion appearance. The skin absorbs the red LED light, stimulating collagen proteins. Red LED light also achieves a radiant, healthy glow because it improves circulation and decreases inflammation.
FAQs:
LED light therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that utilizes different visible light wavelengths to improve skin conditions and overall radiance. This therapy works by exposing the skin to specific light waves that penetrate deeply into the skin and trigger natural healing processes while promoting cellular repair. The colors of light used in this therapy have varying effects on the skin, with red light penetrating the deepest and stimulating collagen production, blue light targeting acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation, yellow light penetrating deeper than blue light, and near-infrared light aiding in healing. LED light therapy can address several skin conditions, including acne, sun damage, wounds, hair loss, psoriasis, rough, scaly spots, wrinkles, eczema, and rosacea.
When light energy is absorbed by the skin, it is transformed into intracellular energy, which boosts cellular function and repairs damage. The unique photochemical reaction of each LED light color leads to different skin benefits such as improved complexion, increased collagen production, and sun damage correction according to a 2014 study.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive, quick and comfortable treatment that does not require anesthesia. The therapy can be administered through the use of an LED table, light panels or a handheld device. During the therapy, we will provide you with protective eyewear and a special serum may be applied to your skin to aid absorption of the LED light. Typically, each session lasts approximately 20 minutes.
The use of LED light in therapy poses no risk of burns or harm from UV rays due to its heat-free and UV-free nature, making it a remarkably safe treatment option. While there may be rare instances of side effects such as skin redness, tenderness, inflammation, or rash, they are not commonly experienced.
If you are looking for a safe and natural way to improve your skin, LED light therapy might be a good option for you. To ensure that the treatment is suitable, we will inquire about any pre-existing medical conditions, including lupus or specific skin conditions. Additionally, if you are currently taking medication that causes light sensitivity or acne medication like Accutane®, you may not be a suitable candidate for LED light therapy.
