LED LIGHT Therapy

What is LED light therapy and what are the benefits? LED stands for light emitting diodes and it focuses on a variety of skincare benefits using ultraviolets that are not harmful to the skin. Some of these benefits include promoting anti-aging effects, reducing inflammation, and treating acne. This treatment uses wavelengths of light that include blue and red light with red being primarily used for anti-aging, and blue for fighting bacteria helping with those who have acne prone skin. LED light therapy is safe for all skin types and comes with zero downtime. 

The LED light treatment stimulates biochemical effects in the cells, causing them to generate more energy and work more efficiently. By doing this it promotes healing and boosts collagen making, it a perfect healing treatment as well. For example it can help the healing process after a laser procedure or microneedling session. Red light therapy, specifically, is best for anti-aging as the light penetrates deeper into the skin barrier offering anti-inflammatory benefits. It can also reduce inflammation, pigmentation, and redness and helps prompt cellular repair and circulation for a more vibrant complexion.

At-home LED devices can be used at your convenience without having to see a provider in a medical office. At-home LED devices including the Celluma and the Omnilux are a great way to experience the benefits of LED light in the comfort of your home. Though the LED lights that are in a medical office tend to be stronger, there are still benefits of the light being used at home, especially if you are consistent with it. 

If you are someone looking for a noninvasive relaxing treatment that can stimulate collagen production and kill the bacteria that cause acne breakouts, LED light therapy might be for you. Adding this to your skincare routine might be beneficial for achieving your skin goals.
