LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is a popular and effective treatment option for skincare. This non-invasive light therapy has been used for several decades in the medical community, but more recently, it has become a popular procedure for skincare at home and in clinical settings.
LED light therapy uses different colors or wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and improve the complexion and texture. Different wavelengths are used to target specific skin concerns and help in healing conditions such as acne, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and rosacea.
Benefits of LED Light Therapy:
Reduces Inflammation: LEDs have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. Acne, rosacea, and psoriasis can all be improved with LED light therapy.
Boosts Collagen Production: LED light therapy also helps promote collagen production. Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic, making it appear more youthful.
Improves Skin Tone: By promoting collagen production, LED light therapy can improve skin tone and texture, making the skin look younger and more even.
Reduces Scarring: The use of LED light therapy can reduce the appearance of scars through increased collagen production and decreased inflammation.
How Does it Work?
LED light therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light, which penetrate the skin at different depths. The therapy emits UV-free, low-level light energy that triggers the skin’s natural healing processes. Each wavelength targets specific skin concerns by triggering different responses in the skin cells. For instance, blue light can kill acne-causing bacteria, whereas red light can reduce inflammation and promote collagen production.
