Light Therapy, sounds intriguing, right? We have the incredible team at NASA to thank for discovering the healing power of LED (otherwise known as light-emitting diode). LED therapy is absolutely one of the most comfortable and effective Skin treatments one can experience. It is also highly versatile treatment, thanks to its ability to treat a myriad of different skin conditions. 

LED light therapy can be incorporated after a traditional facial/ treatment as an add-on extra or simply as a stand-alone treatment itself, thanks to the multitude of benefits from the technology including:

• Reducing redness/irritation/inflammation
• Skin clearing
• Addressing signs of skin ageing

You can choose the have this popular non-invasive skin treatment at a professional skin clinic, or even at- home these days. You’ll lay under a bright LED machine light, with most finding it a relaxing and very enjoyable treatment. Most treatments take about 20 – 30 minutes, and the therapy is suitable for use on all body parts. Best part – no down-time whatsoever. I cannot guarantee you won’t fall asleep though …

The most popular LED lights colours include the Blue Light, Yellow/Amber Light or Red Light.

Blue Light: 

• Great for oily/acne-prone skin as blue light targets the bacteria that causes acne, therefore reducing the future breakouts. Blue LED Light Therapy can be used to improve skin texture. 

Yellow/Amber Light 

• Great for sensitive/rosacea/stressed skin, as well as those concerned with early ageing skins concerns. This light works to heal irritated skin, reduce redness, and boost lymphatic flow, which helps remove toxins from the face. Yellow light can also assist with wound healing, collagen induction, skin hydration and the overall health of the skin.

Red Light 

• Red light is predominately used to help combat the signs of ageing. It can help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and works to help boost collagen level production within the skin.
• Red light also works to reduce skin inflammation and can be combined with blue light to treat the redness and tenderness associated with active acne.

LED light therapy is extremely safe to use; it’s gentle, calming and restorative to the skin as well as being suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. It does not contain UV rays (harmful to the skin) and does not cause burns. All skin types and colours can safely use this treatment and experience the fantastic results that LED can impart on the skin.

Treatments can be customised too, for example your therapist may decide to maximise your results by using a variety of lights for the most amazing ‘post LED glow’. Therapists can also implement tailor made skin correction programs for every client, combining LED with other treatments to maximise results.
