LED Light Therapy
- LED light therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that can help treat various skin concerns including acne, wrinkles and even psoriasis. LED phototherapy involves the use of continuous light from light emitting diodes. Each wavelength penetrates to a different depth into the skin to trigger the SKIN to repair itself. For example red-light emitting LEDs can be used for skin rejuvenation, to reduce inflammation, and to improve healing. Blue light emitting LEDs are primarily used for acne treatment.
- LED light therapy was first discovered after NASA began studying LED lights and their effects in healing astronauts’ wounds or illnesses on long-term space missions in the 1990s.
Each colour of the LED light used in facial treatments targets a different type of skin issue and choosing the right one for your needs is important.
Blue light Destroys the bacteria responsible for acne and reduces the oil production in your skin.
Red lightEases inflammation and redness by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein responsible for the skin’s plumpness and youthful look. Green lightStimulates collagen production, helps fade pigmentation and reduces inflammation. Green light therapy may also reduce headache frequency with migraine patients.
What is red light therapy?Red LED light therapy works by exposing the SKIN to low levels of red and near-infrared light repeatedly for a certain period of time to help with a variety of skin concerns and conditions such as wrinkles or psoriasis. Red light therapy benefits also include easing inflammation and redness to stimulate the SKIN's production of collagen, a protein responsible for the skin’s plumpness and youthful look. When exposed to red light, a positive effect is produced in the SKIN cells: increasing the transportation of electrons as well as oxygen consumption. By improving these processes, cells function more efficiently and can rejuvenate and repair themselves. The benefits of using LED light therapy for the face and the body are quite varied and include:

- reduced inflammation
- increased collagen production
- reduced wrinkles
- wound healing
- tissue repair
- better hair growth
- reduce psoriasis
- improve complexion
"Skin tightening results can be enhanced by using LED light therapy in combination with a Radio Frequency device. Since both treatments help boost collagen, they complement each other well and both technologies are gentle on the skin".
