Heal and Rejuvenate Your Skin With LED Light Therapy

Heal and Rejuvenate Your Skin With LED Light Therapy

May 31 2022
LED light therapy is an amazing skincare treatment with many benefits. This wonderful new technology can address many skin issues from signs of aging, to acne and even hyperpigmentation. This noninvasive treatment uses light energy to heal and rejuvenate your skin. Read on to learn how it works.

 

Light Waves and Your Skin

Various types of lightwaves produce different results in your skin. Light penetrates to affect your skin on a cellular level with their restorative effects. By combining specific lightwaves we can target specific skin issues. 

 

Blue LED Light

Blue lightwaves increase circulation and oxygenation within the skin. Blue light also targets acne causing bacteria. The effects are decreased skin redness and breakouts. Skin with active acne may need more frequent blue light treatments for the first couple of weeks to get the breakout under control.

 

Green LED Light

The green spectrum of lightwaves bond with and kill acne causing skin bacteria to heal and reduce breakouts. These lightwaves also affect melanosomes, a substance that controls melanin, causing the pigmentation to scatter to diffuse the excess pigment. This allows it to help even skin tone by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

 

Red LED Light

The red light spectrum works on the mitochondria in your skin to produce more energy and increase oxygen levels in your skin. It results in an increase in collagen, elastin, and other proteins to make your skin more taut, firm, and supple for a more youthful look.

 

Length of Treatments

As technology advances, treatment becomes more effective and treatment times get shorter than LED treatments used to be. With our more modern equipment an LED light therapy session will only take about 15 minutes from start to finish, but it only takes 5 minutes under the LED panel to produce the desired results. 

 

Frequency of Treatments

Like most skincare treatments the best results are seen with multiple treatments at regular intervals. To get the most from your LED light therapy treatments we recommend a schedule of twice per week for about 4 weeks. Your treatment schedule will be customized to meet your skin’s unique needs.
