What is LED Light Therapy and does it really work?
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is a non- invasive treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to treat the different skin concerns including acne, aging, and inflammation. LED light therapy works by delivering light energy into the skins cells. This process boosts cell function, reduce inflammation, and help speed up cell turnover rate
Different from UV light, LED does not cause any type of damage or burns on the skins surface and is completely safe when used correctly.
Each color of the LED light penetrates the skin at different depths to serve its specific purpose:
Blue Light- Targets and kills acne causing bacteria
Red Light- Stimulates collagen production and promotes healing, also a great tool for aiding anti-aging.
Professional LED Devices VS. at Home Devices:
Professional LED treatments use a stronger light output which can lead to faster results. At home masks and wands are convenient and more affordable but they do require more frequent use and for longer periods of time to achieve anything remotely close to a professional grade LED light.
Bottom line, LED light does really work but its not a magic fix to all of our skincare concerns Consistency, and when paired with the proper skin care routine it can make a huge change for you skin in a positive way.
