How LED Light Therapy Can Transform Your Skin
What exactly is red light therapy?
Perhaps you have seen the glowing red light masks on social media and wondered “What is that and what does it do?” Let’s talk about what LED light therapy treatment is. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode.
It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses red or near-infrared light. Also called photobiomodulation. Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses light to stimulate biological processes. It involves applying red or near-infrared light to the skin, which can induce various therapeutic effects, including pain relief, reduced inflammation, and accelerated wound healing. During LED therapy light therapy the wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin to trigger natural intracellular reactions. We are now using LED light therapy for cosmetic uses!
At Rosieglow Skin Studio we use it to treat acne, signs of aging such as wrinkles, sun damage, brown pigmentation, acne healing and scar reduction. Our red light is a professional strength light that is more powerful than that found in devices sold for at-home use. Our red light panel has 1800 bulbs that emit a red color light at the exact wavelength of 660nm.
What are the benefits of LED Light Therapy?
So what does LED Light therapy do for the skin? Here are some of the benefits for your skin:
Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
Reduces inflammation
Reduces redness and blotchy skin tone
Improves acne scars
Prevents breakouts by killing the acne-causing bacteria
Promotes circulation
Stimulates collagen production
Brightens skin
Who wouldn’t want a way to create all of these beautiful results with no recovery time? The LED Red light therapy used in esthetics practices is essential for a complete treatment plan. At RosieGlow Skin studio we can customize any facial and incorporate LED Light therapy into your facial treatment. Our professional light is also a superior device as it has so many more bulbs than other devices. This creates an experience that works much faster and more effectively to give fantastic results.
How Does LED Light Therapy treatment work?
Your esthetician will select your LED Light Therapy colors for your specific skin concern. Depending on the light, your skin is going to respond differently. At RosieGlow we only use the red light as this is the safest, most studied wavelength for all skin colors and skin types. Red light creates a skin response by building, strengthening, and maximizing cellular structure. Red light is also believed to target oil glands to reduce cytokines, which cause inflammation and play a role in chronic acne. This skin healing mechanism aids in wound healing and is a similar response to creating collagen, so yes LED Light therapy can help with wrinkles! Blue light can stimulate the production of oxygen radicals that kill acne bacteria, all without damaging the skin. Blue light may be beneficial for home use and we may recommend this in the form of a home mask for specific clients. Some studies have shown blue light can cause hyperpigmentation in Asian skin types so it is important to get a professional consultation first.
What can you expect during a LED Light Therapy treatment and how should you prepare?
During your facial treatment after we have completed the cleansing, exfoliation and extractions we will offer LED Light Therapy. It comes with our Signature facial: “The RosieGlow”! You can add on the LED to any facial we offer if you want to customize and enhance your experience. This treatment is best performed on clean skin so it can properly penetrate. We will give you dark goggles to wear to block some of the light. The light is bright but not harmful to your eyes. The treatment lasts 5 minutes as it is a strong, professional strength LED Light Therapy, much stronger than at home masks. It feels warm, meditative and soothing and completely painless! The way we ask you to prepare is the same as any facial: no aggressive exfoliation prior to your treatment, wear spf after and avoid sweaty exercise immediately post treatment. Your skin will be a bit flushed after your facial but this will quickly subside as your skin adjusts and you are left with gorgeous, glowing skin!
