What is LED light therapy?

LED light therapy is a noninvasive aesthetic treatment. It improves the appearance of many skin problems, including:

• Rosacea (redness)
• Sun damage
• Wrinkles
• Rough, scaly skin spots (actinic keratosis)
• Mild to moderate acne
• Eczema
• Hair loss
• Psoriasis
• Wounds

LED light therapy comes in several forms that use various wavelengths corresponding to specific colors. Each LED color penetrates your skin at different depths to achieve the desired results.

Blue light

Blue light affects the skin’s uppermost layer. It destroys the acne-causing bacteria P. acnes.

Yellow light

Yellow light goes deeper into the skin than blue light.

Red light

Red light penetrates further than yellow light. It reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production.

Near-infrared light

Near-infrared light penetrates the deepest.

The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics skin specialists can combine different lights to treat your problem.

How effective is LED light therapy?

Research indicates that LED light therapy reduces blemishes and improves many skin conditions. Schedule regular treatments at The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics for the best results.

Patients will likely require one LED light therapy treatment weekly for a month. Maintenance treatments every month or two will help you maintain the results.

You can buy at-home LED light therapy devices like masks. But these aren’t as effective as in-office treatments, which use more powerful devices. At-home LED treatments are unlikely to produce dramatic anti-aging results or acne reduction.

What does LED light therapy involve?

LED light therapy begins after a thorough appraisal to ensure that the treatment is suitable. After cleaning your face and ensuring that it’s free of makeup, you put on goggles to protect your eyes from the light. Some patients can benefit from additional treatments like a facial beforehand.

You lie on your back so that the LED light therapy device is above your face. You stay still during the treatment, which usually lasts about 20 minutes. LED light therapy is noninvasive and painless. During treatment, you might feel warm but no discomfort.

You can return to your regular activities after LED light therapy. But you must stay out of the sun and apply extra sunscreen for several days. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan, so the specifics vary.
