Light Therapy Facial Treatment

Light therapy facial treatments offer non-invasive skin care with light penetrating deep into the complexion to stimulate collagen production, providing effective solutions for fine lines and wrinkles, acne, dark spots, redness and rosacea.

LED masks and wands for home use are generally safe to use but provide less power than professional devices.

Red Light

Red light therapy stimulates collagen production, thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, red light therapy addresses acne as well as any skin growths by reducing inflammation and eliminating bacteria from your pores.

Light waves penetrate two to three millimeters beneath the skin’s surface and interact with cell organelles known as mitochondria, stimulating them to produce more ATP for reduced inflammation and healthy skin tissue development.

Home red light therapy devices such as masks or wands are available, with FDA-clear devices representing low risk. But before trying out red-light devices on your own, consult with a dermatologist first and heed his or her advice.

At an ideal spa or salon that provides LED light therapy services, facial treatments may begin with dermaplaning or microdermabrasion procedures followed by revitalizing hydrojelly mask and finally LED light therapy treatments.

Blue Light

Blue light therapy can be an effective solution for acne treatment by targeting sebum production – which contributes to clogged pores and blemishes – while simultaneously decreasing inflammation and redness.

Studies conducted with blue light at 410nm demonstrated its efficacy at decreasing PER1 transcription in keratinocytes – the clock gene responsible for controlling circadian rhythm and regeneration – while also helping reduce itching associated with psoriasis vulgaris by modulating immune systems.

At-home blue light devices usually emit lower intensities of blue light; maintenance sessions should be scheduled according to your skin’s response and needs. Professional advice will be offered regarding frequency and duration. It is best to use gentle cleanser after each treatment session and apply broad spectrum sunscreen in order to protect from sun damage and premature aging of the skin.

Yellow Light

Yellow LED light therapy is well-known for its radiant skin benefits. It can boost hydration levels in-clinic or at home skincare products and make acne scarring less visible. Yellow LED also has anti-inflammatory properties to soothe redness associated with rosacea while stimulating collagen production which tightens and firms skin tightening fine lines and wrinkles while simultaneously balancing uneven skin tones and diminish hyperpigmentation such as sun spots or age spots.

Like its blue counterpart, yellow LED light therapy can effectively combat active acne by eliminating bacteria and encouraging natural cell repair. Furthermore, yellow LEDs may help improve skin texture while simultaneously decreasing sebaceous hyperplasia (enlarged oil glands). They may even help diminish fine lines and wrinkles by increasing skin elasticity.

Green Light

LED light therapy is a safe, non-invasive solution that offers multiple advantages for the skin, such as reducing wrinkles and clearing acne. Different wavelengths target specific concerns at their source.

Blue light therapy uses blue LED light to target sebaceous glands and reduce oil production, ultimately decreasing acne breakouts. Furthermore, Propionibacterium acnes bacteria is killed off to eliminate inflammation and fade blemishes. Furthermore, Blue LED lighting may help treat mild forms of psoriasis or eczema as well.

Yellow LED light enhances circulation and oxygenation to promote healing and skin firmness, and help reduce melanin production – both factors which even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.

Green LED light can help improve the appearance of under-eye circles, sun spots and dilated blood vessels. Its soothing effect helps treat rosacea symptoms as well as fade redness and hyperpigmentation – making it suitable for all skin types.
