LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED) THERAPY

One of the biggest benefits of LED light therapy is its safety. Generally, LED therapy is safest when it’s used on its own without sensitizing medications and or creams since LED lights don’t damage the skin or skin tissues.

How is LED Light Therapy Done?

LED light therapy enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin’s overall complexion and surface. Different wavelengths of light in the LED light are penetrated the skin’s layer.

This penetration is then intended to trigger several biological processes that will help to heal and rejuvenate the skin. There are different types of lights that are used in LED light therapy: red, blue, green, and amber, each with its own benefits for treating skin and correcting skin conditions. Red and Blue light is often combined to help treat acne, decrease scarring, and promote anti-inflammatory effects.

Red Light

Red light is proven to help improve scarring, ageing, skin inflammation, and wrinkles as it helps the production of collagen for the skin. Collagen is a protein that helps with healing, as you age, your body produces less collagen and thus your body is more receptive to showing the signs of ageing.

Blue Light

Blue light is primarily used to treat acne as it helps to reduce acne-causing bacteria.

Side Effects of LED Light Therapy?

Common post-treatment side effects may include:

• Inflammation
• Redness
• Rash
• Tenderness
• Hives
• Pain

Before your appointment, we ask you to not wear any makeup and come with a clean and bare face.

Since the treatment is non-invasive, you do not need time to recover after each session. You may begin to see some minor results after each treatment; however, most results will be noticeable after all your recommended sessions are done.

You may also require some maintenance treatment sessions, as your skin cells will naturally continue to lose collagen over time, and this shows signs of ageing once again.
