LED Light Therapy
In the quest for radiant, healthy skin, LED light therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment. We integrate this innovative therapy with several of our skincare treatments, including the Salt Facial, to enhance results and address various skin concerns. Here’s everything you need to know about LED light therapy, the different types of light, and their benefits.
What is it?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target and treat various skin issues. This treatment is pain-free, involves no downtime, and can be customized to address individual skincare needs. Each wavelength of light penetrates the skin at different depths, triggering biological processes that rejuvenate and heal the skin.
Types of Light Therapy and Their Benefits
1. Red Light (630-700 nm)
Benefits:
- Stimulates collagen production
- Reduces inflammation
- Accelerates healing
- Improves circulation
Ideal for:
- Anti-aging treatments
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Healing damaged skin
Red light therapy is a go-to for anti-aging treatments. By penetrating the skin deeply, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, essential for maintaining youthful, firm skin. It also helps reduce inflammation, making it an excellent choice for sensitive or irritated skin.
2. Blue Light (405-420 nm)
Benefits:
- Kills acne-causing bacteria
- Prevents future breakouts
- Reduces oil production
Ideal for:
- Acne-prone skin
- Preventing future breakouts
Blue light therapy targets the bacteria that cause acne, making it an effective treatment for those struggling with breakouts. It also helps regulate oil production, reducing the likelihood of future acne flare-ups.
3. Near-Infrared Light (700-1200 nm)
Benefits:
- Reduces inflammation
- Promotes tissue repair and regeneration
- Improves skin elasticity
Ideal for:
- Deep tissue healing
- Anti-aging treatments
- Reducing redness and swelling
Near-infrared light therapy penetrates deeper into the skin compared to other wavelengths, making it ideal for promoting tissue repair and regeneration. It also helps reduce inflammation and improve skin elasticity, making it beneficial for anti-aging treatments and healing injured skin.
Combining Light Therapy with Other Treatments
At Simply Dermatology, we often combine LED light therapy with other skincare treatments to maximize their benefits. One of our most popular treatments, the Salt Facial, pairs beautifully with LED light therapy. The before and after on the right is 6 treatments of Salt Facial combined with blue light therapy to treat and prevent acne.
Salt Facial Blue Light or Red Light:
The Salt Facial is a three-step treatment that exfoliates, hydrates, and rejuvenates the skin. Combining this with LED light therapy enhances each step’s effectiveness:
- Exfoliation: The Salt Facial begins with a gentle exfoliation using natural sea salt, removing dead skin cells and impurities.
- Hydration: Next, ultrasound technology is used to infuse the skin with hydrating serums, improving moisture levels.
- LED Light Therapy: Finally, LED light therapy is applied to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, aging, or pigmentation.
By integrating LED light therapy with the Salt Facial, we can target multiple skin concerns in a single session, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
