LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy was originally developed by researchers at NASA to encourage the growth of plants. Later they realized it could also speed wound healing in astronauts. This benefit caught the eye of the cosmetic industry and it was quickly embraced by skincare professionals everywhere.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED stands for light-emitting diodes. It uses varying wavelengths of light to treat the skin. The most common wavelengths are red and blue which are readily absorbed into the skin. The light does not contain UV rays and is safe for regular use.
The treatment is non-invasive and painless and can benefit all skin types.
What Are The Benefits Of LED Light Therapy?
LED light is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging collagen production. LED can also help banish blemishes, diminish the effects of rosacea, and inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis, and even assist in the reduction of pain. LED light therapy is not only highly effective in combating many skin problems but is also non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Loss of collagen and elastin results in expression lines, sagging skin, and wrinkles. Red LED light can boost cellular metabolism promoting circulation and stimulating fibroblasts. The stimulation of fibroblasts increases collagen and elastin production.
Red LED light not only improves collagen production but also reduces collagenase, the enzyme that destroys collagen fibers.
Gentle Acne Treatment
Many acne treatments can be harsh and overly drying to the skin. LED light therapy offers a gentler way of dealing with acne. Blue LED helps control acne-causing bacteria and red light helps reduce inflammation and speeds up healing time.
Relief For Rosacea
Studies have shown LED light can relieve many rosacea symptoms, including reducing inflammation and even repairing damaged capillaries. Ongoing care with LED light may keep the symptoms of rosacea under control.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
LED light is not a “facelift” or a quick fix. Treatments have an accumulative effect. Because LED is most effective when the skin is being treated 2-3 times a week, it’s recommended to use a home LED device in between your facial appointments.
LED paired with micro-current can have amazing rejuvenating benefits. However, these treatments do require commitment and consistency. Results are usually seen after about 2-3 months.
Who Can Receive LED Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy is safe and effective for most people. However, if you are pregnant or have epilepsy you are not a candidate for treatment.
