A pain-free treatment with zero downtime that harnesses the power of pure light to accelerate the skin’s natural healing, rejuvenation, and repair processes.
Over time, healthy skin cells may become less efficient at renewing themselves. This can be related to skin conditions, sun exposure, or ageing.
LED light is absorbed by the skin, where it activates specific cellular processes to produce a therapeutic effect. It uses clinically studied wavelengths to support cell activity, tissue repair, circulation, collagen support, and bacterial reduction.
Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells may regenerate more quickly when exposed to certain LED wavelengths, and hydration may also improve.
LED Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin’s natural healing, rejuvenation, and repair processes. It has been used for a wide range of skin concerns.
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment in which light is absorbed by the skin, activating specific cellular processes to produce a therapeutic effect.
Our LED device uses four wavelengths—blue, yellow, red, and near-infrared. The exact combination is selected to suit each patient’s needs.
Blue light mainly affects the uppermost layer of the skin, the epidermis.
The bacteria associated with acne (Cutibacterium acnes) produce natural molecules called porphyrins. When these molecules are exposed to blue light, they react to form oxygen-free radicals. These radicals help destroy the bacteria and may reduce oil gland activity, which in turn can help clear breakouts.
Yellow light penetrates deeper into the skin than blue light.
Yellow light supports overall skin health by improving circulation and soothing redness. Research suggests it may help suppress melanogenesis, the process that produces dark spots, making it useful for improving uneven skin tone and signs of sun damage.
Red light travels deeper into the skin, reaching the dermis.
Red light is absorbed by the mitochondria within cells. This helps stimulate fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin may appear plumper and smoother, with fewer fine lines, and wounds may heal more quickly.
Near-infrared light penetrates the deepest, reaching into the underlying tissues.
Near-infrared light encourages the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and improves local blood flow. Better circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the area, helping to reduce inflammation and support healing in deeper tissues.
LED Light Therapy uses clinically studied wavelengths to support skin recovery and rejuvenation.
Benefits may include:
Although LED Light Therapy is commonly used on the face, it may also be used on selected areas of the body.
Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
LED Light Therapy may help support:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin rejuvenation and radiance
Acne and problem skin
Pigmentation
Rosacea and redness
Eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis
Stretch marks
Wound healing and scarring
Prior to LED Light Therapy, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed and free of dirt and makeup.
There is typically little to no special aftercare required. Your provider will give you any specific recommendations based on your skin and treatment plan.
Session length can vary depending on the concern being treated and the wavelength selected.
On average, you can expect to be under the LED light for 8–15 minutes.
LED Light Therapy is a gentle and relaxing treatment. The skin may feel warm in response to increased circulation, but most patients find this very comfortable.
During the appointment, you will lie comfortably while the device is positioned close to the skin without touching it. Your technician will provide safety goggles and choose the settings based on your skin concerns.
Our LED device uses four wavelengths, including blue, yellow, red, and near-infrared. The exact combination is selected to suit each patient’s needs.
After LED Light Therapy, the skin may look calmer, clearer, smoother, and better hydrated.
Results may continue to improve over the following 4–6 weeks. A course of treatments is often recommended for best results.
LED Light Therapy may be a good option for many patients looking for a gentle treatment to support skin clarity, redness, healing, or rejuvenation.
LED Light Therapy can be used on all skin types. However, certain medications or medical conditions may make LED Light Therapy unsuitable, so it is important to review your health history and medications with your provider.
No. LED Light Therapy does not contain UV rays, so it will not stimulate melanin production or create a tanning effect.
LED Light Therapy does not make the skin photosensitive. However, minimising sun exposure and using a high-protection sunscreen is still recommended.
No. LED Light Therapy does not use UV light, so it does not stimulate the body’s production of vitamin D.
LED Light Therapy may be combined with other treatments depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan.
