WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY?
LED (light emittting diode) therapy has become a popular non-invasive skin treatment for various skin conditions including acne, sun damage, aging, wounds and more. The treatment uses varying colors of light each with varying wavelengths to trigger the skin’s natural healing response and repair the skin.
HISTORY
LED lights have been in use since the 1960’s but they have only more recently been used to treat the skin. NASA originally developed LED lights for plant growth experiments in space. Since then, LEDs have shown promising results in wound healing and human tissue growth. In skin treatments the varying wavelengths in LEDs, including blue and red, penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration triggers a response in cell function.
BLUE LIGHT THERAPY IN SKINCARE
Blue Light Therapy is used to treat acne and works by reducing the activity in the oil glands and killing the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes or 'p-acne' for short. In conjunction with Red Light Therapy it can also reduce the redness and inflammation associated with this skin disorder.
RED LIGHT THERAPY IN SKINCARE
Red Light Therapy light is popular in skincare due to its regenerative capabilities. Studies have shown it to stimulate Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) the main source of energy for our cells. This is essential in activating the fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. This energy will in turn restore radiance, reduce wrinkle depth and improve firmness to your skin. It can also assist in wound repair. Red light at a deeper wavelength called infrared can also reduce pain and inflammation in muscles and improve circulation.
SAFETY + TREATMENT PLAN
LED can be used on all skin types to improve the skins appearance with no down time. Before you decide on this treatment be sure to consult with your esthetician for any contraindications. Ongoing treatments are recommended to see continued results.
