A revolutionary approach to facelifts LED light therapy

LED LIGHT THERAPY

LED light therapy is used for a variation of skin problems including acne, psoriasis, perioral dermatitis, rosacea and to enhance the healing of wounds.

It is also helpful after skin surgery, speeding up the healing process and can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In combination with medicated creams, it is a popular treatment for early stages of certain skin cancers and severely sun damaged skin.

It is a non-invasive skin treatment using the good out of daylight without including harmful UV rays.

LED or "light emitting diodes", have been available since the 1960s, but only recently have grown in popularity for use as a therapeutic skin treatment.

The treatment uses different wavelengths of light including blue, red, yellow, and green, penetrating the skin at different depths.

Depending on the wavelength, different biological processes are triggered. For example, blue light interferes with the metabolism of bacteria that cause acne. Red light activates natural healing processes and has anti-inflammatory potency. It activates fibroblasts, fibroblasts play an important role in collagen production. Collagen makes our skin look healthier and younger. The LED light is delivered using a high-intensity source. Modern therapy units can be programmed to deliver a variation of frequencies to tailor your individual treatment. Large areas of the body can be treated at a time. One treatment takes between 20 and 30 min on average, it is painless and usually considered very relaxing.

It is necessary to have several treatment sessions before noticing an improvement in skin appearance. People usually see the best results several weeks after their last treatment. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain results.

LED light therapy is considered safe. However, people suffering from serious medical conditions or taking medication that increase sensitivity to light like doxycycline or isotretinoin should consult a medical professional before treatment.
