Relaxing LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is a painless and non-invasive cosmetic procedure that offers several aesthetic benefits for the skin by lying under special lights to receive healing light wavelengths into the skin. There is no UV light in these LED light treatments, and these facials help stimulate cellular activity, which is good for anti-ageing, acne treatments and healing after more aggressive facial treatments.

Different wavelengths of light have various effects on skin cells. Red light, as an example, is often used for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Red light also increases blood circulation and promotes wound healing. Blue light may be used to target acne-prone skin as it helps regulate oil production.

When skin cells absorb the specific wavelengths of light, it triggers a series of cellular responses.

It is relaxing and painless - you simply sit or lie down and have the light waves directed on to your face for 20-30 minutes.

Improved skin texture: LED light therapy can stimulate collagen production, which can lead to smoother, firmer skin. Over time, this can help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Reduced wrinkles and fine lines: By promoting collagen synthesis, LED facials may help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Acne reduction: Blue LED light specifically targets the bacteria that contribute to acne breakouts, helping to reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts. LED facials can be beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin.

Evened skin tone: LED light therapy can help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation or sunspots. It can also help to reduce redness associated with rosacea or sensitive skin.

Enhanced skin healing: Near-infrared light used in LED facials has properties that can promote healing and repair damaged skin. It can be beneficial for individuals with scars, wounds, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Overall skin rejuvenation: LED facials can give the skin a brighter and more radiant appearance by stimulating blood circulation and improving cellular metabolism.

A typical course of LED facial treatments involves multiple sessions scheduled over a period of several weeks. This allows for cumulative benefits and encourages the skin to respond and improve over time. The exact number of treatments can vary, but it is common to have anywhere from 4 to 8 sessions spaced about 1 to 2 weeks apart.

A typical course of LED treatments involves multiple sessions to allow the benefits to accumulate.

It can be combined with other treatments, especially:

Laser, chemical peels and microdermabrasion: the exfoliating effects of peels and dermabrasion can help remove dead skin cells and improve the penetration of LED light into the skin.

Topical skincare: Specific serums, moisturisers or other topical skincare can be applied during or after the LED treatment to nourish and hydrate the skin.

There is usually no downtime from LED light therapy treatment, though if you are combining other treatments you will need to factor those in. This treatment does not cause discomfort or side effects. It might not be recommended for people with some medical conditions.
