(LED) Light Therapy Treatments
As we get older the components of our skin - especially the proteins Collagen and Elastin - degenerate, accelerated by sun exposure and gravity, pollution, harsh soaps and chemicals, cigarette smoke, drinking alcohol, and eating unhealthy foods.
The application of LED light is a non-invasive therapy that activates skin cells with low-level, non-thermal light energy. LED therapy converts light to energy within the skin cells—similar to the process of photosynthesis in plants.
It stimulates the cytochromes (a protein that responds to colour) prompting the skin’s fibro-blasts to produce collagen and elastin proteins.
LED is an effective treatment for anti-ageing as well as common conditions such as acne, rosacea and dilated capillaries.
LED Light Therapy can help with a range of skin concerns that include:
- Vastly improved healing times for post operative and invasive procedures such as skin needling, IPL, laser and peels.
- Smoother skin texture
- Increased micro-circulation
- Reduced inflammation
- Reduction of fine lines
- More even tone on sun damaged and aged skin
- Reduction in superficial pigmentation
- Soothing of irritated, red skin
- Treatment of acne
The treatment itself is actually very relaxing and studies have been conducted suggesting that there are benefits to the relaxing effect of red light on your skin.
- It is extremely safe with minimal possible complications
- Completely non-invasive
- Painless
