Increase collagen and elastin
LED Light Therapy, or Light Emitting Diode Therapy, is a non-invasive, non-aggressive skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light energy to regenerate the skin from within.
NASA originally developed the technology to grow plants on shuttle missions and it was later discovered to have healing and regenerative benefits on the skin. LED does not contain ultraviolet rays and is non-thermal which means it does not heat up the skin. This means LED Light Therapy Treatments are safe, painless and relaxing for all skin types and colours and can be used on a regular basis.
LED Light Therapy increases collagen and elastin which helps strengthen the skin, reduce lines and wrinkles, smooth the skin, and improve complexion and skin tone.
LED Red Light Therapy Benefits
Red light wavelengths (633nm) are specifically used to promote collagen and elastin and to increase cell turnover and skin health. The outcome is an improvement in skin texture, complexion and tone. It also helps diminish wrinkles, fine lines, scars, age spots, skin damage, and shrink pore size. Red light also reduces inflammation and redness.

According to the review in 'Seminars In Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery', mitochondria in the skin cells can absorb these light particles. This can help the cells produce more adenosine triphosphate, which is the energy source for all cells. With this extra energy the cells may be able to repair damage, restore function and rejuvenate themselves.
LED Blue Light Therapy Benefits
Blue Light wavelengths (415nm) are specifically used to treat acne. The blue light penetrates deep into the skin and kills the acne bacteria. It also regulates sebaceous gland activity and helps control oil flow. It penetrates through blackheads and whiteheads to kill bacteria lying underneath while reducing inflammation. The skin is sterilised and pores are cleaned out to minimise future breakouts.
Blue Light Therapy Treatments are an effective alternative to treat acne with less side effects according to SEMINARS IN CUTANEOUS MEDICINE AND SURGERY REVIEW.
