Illuminating Your Skin: Exploring the Benefits of LED Light Therapy
In recent years, LED therapy has taken the Aesthetics Industry by storm, and it’s not hard to see why. This innovative treatment has become incredibly popular due to its remarkable ability to address a number of concerns and skin types including scarring, pigmentation, ageing, acne and rosacea. The best part? It offers no downtime, making it a convenient and time-efficient option, with treatment times as short as 15 minutes!
YELLOW
By stimulating circulation and lymphatic glow, Yellow LED therapy assists in removing toxins from the skin and reducing swelling making it ideal for post surgical patients as well as in conjunction with clinical facials and skin treatments. Yellow LED has a shallow penetration to the skin communicating primarily with cells in the epidermis triggering cell renewal and skin hydration as well effectively reducing pigmentation and age-spots. By stimulating the production of red blood cells we see the skin rejuvenated and increased wound healing response. Soothing and calming for those who suffer from redness and rosacea, this is an ideal treatment that encourages a reduction in size of blood vessels thereby reducing facial redness.
RED & NIR
Red LED in tandem with Near Infra-Red (NIR) is shown to stimulate fibroblast synthesis and therefore increase collagen production, which naturally deteriorates as we age. Collagen is vital to the structure and integrity of the skin and is also necessary for healing wounds. With an increase in collagen production we will see a minimising of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement in skin texture and firmness, reduction in the formation of new pigmentation and age spots, and ultimately a more radiant complexion. The same increase in collagen from Red + NIR will speed up healing of new wounds and reduce formation of scars, ideal for post-surgical patients, and also treat mature scars. With the deepest penetration of all LED wavelengths, NIR strengthens the body’s natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant defences which is ideal for pain and healing, protects and repairs cell damage, and improves the overall health of cells.
BLUE
Blue light penetrates pores and kills acne causing bacteria, therefore preventing the formation of acne lesions. With regular use of Blue Light Therapy you can break the cycle of acne and allow your skin to heal. Blue light also aids in improving skin texture and reducing sebum production so this is a wonderful treatment for oilier skin types and blemish-prone skin as well as those suffering from moderate to severe acne.
HOW OFTEN IS LED THERAPY NEEDED?
While visible improvements can be seen after the first treatment, for best results we recommend completing a course of 6-8 treatments. During your initial treatment phase, it is beneficial to schedule weekly sessions for the first month. This frequency allows for consistent exposure to the targeted light wavelengths, maximising the benefits. Following the initial treatment phase, you can transition to a maintenance schedule of one session per month. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain and further enhance the results achieved and go hand in hand with clinical skin treatments and your injectables!
