Everything You Need To Know About LED Light Therapy

LED therapy is a popular skin treatment that involves the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to improve the appearance and health of the skin. It is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that has been gaining popularity over the years. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of LED therapy and what the experience of the treatment is like.

Benefits of LED Therapy

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: LED therapy helps to boost collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

Improves Skin Texture: LED therapy can improve the texture of the skin by reducing the size of pores and smoothing out rough patches. It can also help to improve the overall tone of the skin, giving it a more even appearance.

Reduces Acne and Acne Scarring: LED therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing acne and acne scarring. The blue light used in the treatment can help to kill bacteria that causes acne, while the red light can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Improves Circulation: LED therapy can help to improve blood flow and circulation, which can result in healthier-looking skin. This can also help to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.

Boosts Mood: LED therapy has been shown to boost mood and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. This may be due to the fact that the light used in the treatment can help to increase the production of serotonin, a hormone that is known to improve mood.

Experience of LED Therapy

LED therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is pain-free and requires no downtime. The treatment involves sitting or lying down under a special light-emitting device for a specified amount of time. The length of the treatment will vary depending on the specific needs of the patient and the desired results.

During the treatment, patients will wear protective goggles to shield their eyes from the light. The light emitted from the device is not harmful to the eyes, but it can be bright and uncomfortable.

The treatment is typically very relaxing and comfortable. Patients may feel a slight warming sensation on their skin, but this is completely normal and is not painful. Some patients may even fall asleep during the treatment!

After the treatment, patients can go about their day as normal. There is no downtime or recovery period required, so patients can immediately resume their normal activities.

LED therapy is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment that can provide a wide range of benefits for the skin. Whether you are looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, or reduce acne and acne scarring, LED therapy may be able to help.

How does LED Therapy work with other treatments?

There are clients that choose to have LED Therapy as a stand alone treatment as an all in one to boost mood, depuff skin and tired eyes and improve overall skin health. We encourage our clients to use LED therapy in conjunction with the treatments they are having at our spa. Whether it’s right after a facial or laser treatment or dropping by between treatments we have found that combining treatments with LED Therapy is the most effective way to use this technology. In fact, we include it in all our memberships. FREE!
