Led light Therapy

LED, or light emitting diode therapy, is a skincare mask added on to any facial treatment or can be used as a standalone treatment.

The mask uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin.

NASA originally developed it for plant growth experiments on shuttle missions and later found it to have promise for wound treatment. LED light therapy is now used by some aestheticians to help regenerate the skin from aging. It’s also used for acne.

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

  • Eczema.
  • Mild to moderate acne.
  • Psoriasis.
  • Rosacea.
  • Wounds.
  • Wrinkles.
  • 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).

To see significant benefits, you typically need to have a series of treatments for severe skin conditions. You may need a treatment each week for about a month. Then you might need maintenance treatments every month or every few months.

Led can also be included as a add on option with any other facial treatment or as a standalone service.

  • Avoid touching the area treated
  • Apply plenty of moisturiser and a high SPF for the next few weeks
  • Avoid make-up for 24-hrs after treatment for best result
  • Avoid chlorine for 24 hours
  • Avoid excessive heat for 24 hours after treatment, i.e., heavy workouts, steam rooms or saunas, etc

People with any skin type and colour can use LED light therapy. LED light therapy doesn’t use ultraviolet (UV) light, so it doesn’t cause damage or burns to your skin. The fair few peoples who are not suitable for this are

  • Take certain medications that increase their sensitivity to sunlight, such as isotretinoin and lithium.
  • Have a history of certain conditions, including skin cancer and inherited eye diseases.
