LED Light Therapy Benefits
In recent years, LED light therapy has gained popularity as a non-invasive treatment for various skin conditions, including acne, aging signs, and pigmentation issues. But what exactly is LED light therapy, and how do different light settings influence its effectiveness? Let's dive into the science behind this innovative treatment and explore how you can maximise its benefits.
The Different Types of LED Light and Their Benefits
Red Light (630-660 nm)
Red light is known for its anti-aging properties. It penetrates the skin's surface and stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves circulation, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
Blue Light (415-420 nm)
Blue light therapy is effective for treating acne. It targets the bacteria responsible for acne, reducing inflammation and preventing breakouts. It also helps to regulate sebum production, which can contribute to clearer skin.
Yellow Light (590-620 nm)
Yellow light is often used for its soothing properties. It can improve skin texture, reduce redness, and enhance lymphatic drainage. This light is beneficial for those with sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Infrared Light (800-940 nm)
Infrared light penetrates deeper into the skin, reaching the dermis layer. It helps with deep tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and supports healing. It's also beneficial for reducing the appearance of scars and improving skin texture.
How to choose the right setting for your skin.
It is recommended to consult with a qualified skin therapist to effectively select which light setting is suitable for your skin type and concerns. Consultations at Innovative Laser Clinics are complimentary, and will provide you with a comprehensive/tailored skincare routine and recommendations that will benefit you!
