LED Light Therapy For Skin
Light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy is growing in popularity in both aesthetician offices and at home. Using varying LED wavelengths, this skincare technique purportedly helps: treat acne, reduce inflammation, and promote anti-aging effects. LED therapy is also safe for all skin colors, and it doesn’t cause any burning.
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to target a variety of skin concerns at the cellular level. Originally developed by NASA for wound healing and tissue regeneration, it has since been widely adopted in the aesthetic and dermatological fields due to its safety, effectiveness, and zero downtime.
This technology involves the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to deliver energy into the skin. Different colors of light penetrate to various depths and stimulate different cellular responses, such as collagen production, reduction of inflammation, and killing acne-causing bacteria.
How does it work？
LED light penetrates the skin without causing damage or discomfort. Unlike laser or IPL treatments, it does not use heat or abrasion. Instead, it triggers natural biological processes in the skin, making it ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Each color of light provides unique benefits:
- Red Light (620 – 625 nm): Stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves blood circulation, and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
- Blue Light (460–465nm): Targets and destroys acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and prevents future breakouts.
- Green Light (520–525nm): Helps with pigmentation, evens skin tone, and soothes sensitive skin.
- Yellow Light (570–590nm): Boosts lymphatic flow, improves skin texture, and reduces redness.
