Skin Treatment-LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Phototherapy is the go-to treatment and can be used in isolation or combined with most other treatments. It uses different wavelengths of continuous light in LED lights, including blue and red, to penetrate the skin at different depths and trigger biological processes that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.

The blue light reduces activity in the sebaceous glands, (the oil-producing glands in the skin) and in turn causes the glands to produce less oil, improving acne symptoms. It also helps to kill bacteria that contributes to acne by causing inflammation. The blue light can also improve the healing of burns.

The red light works on fibroblasts, which are the skin cells that are responsible for collagen production and as we know provides the support structure and for our skin. As we also know, the production of collagen reduces as we age – LED Phototherapy stimulates collagen production.

LED light therapy can help treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

dermatitis
dull skin
eczema
psoriasis
rosacea
scarring
signs of aging, including wrinkles and age spots
sun damage
wound healing and even muscular pain.

The treatment can be performed on all types and colors of skin. It has an excellent safety profile and contains no UV rays, which can be harmful to the skin. Therefore, LED therapy is suitable for regular use, is non-invasive and non-thermal with no recovery time and can be used as a standalone therapy or as adjunctive therapy with many other treatments.
