WhAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY?

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin.

In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow.

Today, dermatologists and estheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Skin specialists often use LED light therapy together with other treatments, such as creams, ointments and facials, to give you the best results.

What does LED light therapy do?

LED light therapy helps treat a variety of skin concerns and conditions, including:

  • Eczema.

  • Hair loss.

  • Mild to moderate acne.

  • Psoriasis.

  • Rough, scaly, precancerous spots on the skin (actinic keratosis).

  • Rosacea.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIGHT THERAPY?

LED light therapy uses various wavelengths that correspond to different visible colours. Each colour penetrates the skin at different depths.

  • Blue light affects the uppermost layer of your skin.

  • Yellow light penetrates deeper.

  • Red light travels further into your skin.

  • Near-infrared light penetrates deepest.

Different LED colours do different things. For example, experts believe:

  • Red LED light therapy may reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for younger-looking skin that diminishes with age.

  • Blue LED light therapy may destroy acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes).

During treatment, skin specialists may use a combination of lights to treat your specific issue. At-home devices may also combine colours.
