LED stands for light-emitting diode. “It works by making heat-causing infrared lights in different wavelengths or spectra, and each of these has different benefits for your skin.” “Amber light increases collagen and elastin production. Red light is commonly used to improve circulation. White light penetrates the deepest and serves to tighten and relieve inflammation. Blue light destroys bacteria.”

Benefits Of Red Light Therapy
In clinical studies, dermatologists found that red light therapy can be used in a number of helpful ways.
Dermatologists agree that red light therapy is a safe treatment for a wide range of medical and aesthetic skin disorders and conditions that are typically difficult to treat.
Red Light Therapy is now widely used in medical and cosmetic cases.
When your skin is irritated or inflamed, a light therapy device can help ease the pain.
A Red Light Device Is Good For
● Reducing fine lines and wrinkles

How Does Red Light Therapy Work On The Skin?
The red light wavelength found in red light LED therapy penetrates the skin (dermis) and works on fibroblasts, improving cellular function. Fibroblasts are cells that are found in connective tissue.
If you’re looking to keep your skin rejuvenated, healthy, and radiant, then taking care of fibroblast cells is important!
Fibroblasts contribute to wound healing, but they also produce collagen proteins.
Collagen protein is important for the elasticity of your skin and makes up about three-quarters of the structure of your skin.
Aftercare
Because LED light therapy is not invasive, there is no downtime after treatment. After finishing your therapy, you should feel well enough to return to your regular routine. Even if you can see some progress after the first session, you won’t be able to see the full effect until all of the in-office sessions are done.
We advise patients to get light therapy once every two weeks before a big event, and once a month for maintenance, in addition to their regular microdermabrasion or micro-needling treatments.
Is Red Light Therapy At Home Effective?
At-home Infrared Light Therapy is just as effective as visiting a salon or spa with a Red Light Therapy Panel.
LED Light Therapy has the advantage of being a non-invasive skin therapy. This means the treatment is painless and simple to perform at home.
The advantage of performing LED light therapy at home is that you can simply fit the treatment into your own schedule without having to travel or book an appointment. And you can set your own environment.
