LED treatment is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light that enter the skin's layers. It helps in improving the skin by penetrating the skin at varying depths. It stimulates cellular processes for a range of cosmetic and therapeutic applications. This treatment does not use intense, concentrated beams of light, which do not cause any burns or tissue damage, making it a safe and gentler option.

Improves blood circulation: This treatment helps in improving the blood flow and delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. It also helps in cell regeneration and aids the healing process.

Improves collagen production: The treatment helps in increasing collagen production which reduces wrinkles and leads to improved skin elasticity.

Removes Bacteria: The blue light therapy treatment helps in targeting and destroying the acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface.

Reduces Inflammation: This treatment helps reduce inflammation as there are certain wavelengths that modulate the inflammatory response on the body.

Conditions for Effective LED light treatment


Red/Blue light therapy: The red/blue light therapy works most effectively as red light therapy penetrates deep inside the skin and increases the collagen production. It helps in damage and also reduces inflammation. Red light therapy is ideal for fighting off anti-aging effects. Blue light therapy on the other hand helps out fighting bacteria and targets the sebaceous glands. It is a good treatment option for those with oily or blemish-prone skin.

Professional treatment is better than home ones: Getting professional treatments is always more advisable than getting a home treatment as even though the treatment is safe and effective many people tend to make a lot of mistakes at home while doing the treatment which can lead to potential side effects.

Be aware of the wavelengths: Before starting off with the procedure it is important to know the right amount of wavelength that should be used for the treatment especially if its being done at home. A good LED treatment should have wavelength between 40 and 100 milliwatts. The LED light should never feel hot on the skin.

Use as a add on to the routine: The best way for the treatment to work is to have this treatment as a addition to the other cosmetic treatments and procedures for effective results. It helps in maintaining the overall condition of the skin

Be consistent: It is important to have the treatment regularly for effective results, as that can take a bit of time. The exact time for results depends on the condition of the skin and the skin type.
