What is LED Light Therapy?
It is a non-invasive treatment that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with various wavelengths to target specific skin concerns and improve overall skin health. It is widely utilized in aesthetic practice as an adjunctive therapy for anti-aging, acne, rosacea and other skin conditions. Additionally, LED Light Therapy is an excellent treatment to support skin healing after minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, promoting faster recovery and enhancing the overall results.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
LED Light Therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin at varying depths. The light energy is absorbed by skin cells, which then stimulates cellular activity and promotes the production of collagen and elastin - the proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness.
Different wavelengths of light with its distinct effects:
Red Light (630–640 nm): Stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes skin healing. Ideal complement to anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments.
Blue Light (415 nm): Targets acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acne), helping to reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts. Best used in combination with acne treatment protocols to enhance the acne-control results.
Yellow Light (590 nm): Improves skin tone, reduces redness, and promotes a healthy, radiant complexion. It helps to calm irritated skin and reduce inflammation, making it especially suitable for use after aesthetic procedures to support healing and recovery.
Infrared Light (850–900 nm): Penetrates deeply in to the skin to promote circulation and cellular repair, making it ideal for wound healing, reducing pain and inflammation.
Benefits of LED Light Therapy:
- Non-invasive and painless with no downtime
- Improves skin tone for a more radiant complexion
- Reduces acne breakouts and inflammation
- Promotes collagen and elastin production resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin
- Reduces inflammation and promotes wound healing
Suitable candidates:
LED Light Therapy is safe for all skin types and is a gentle, non-thermal procedure, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking pain-free, low-risk, and no-downtime skin rejuvenation treatment.
