Light infusion therapy (LIT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation from light-emitting diodes (LED), is a safe and noninvasive technique.
It delivers concentrated wavelengths of light and near-infrared light into the skin and the body’s cells, ensuring a drastic improvement in appearance, wellness, and lightness of being.
LIT is used to treat skin conditions on the face and body, such as wrinkles, sun damage, scars, persistent wounds, and acne; it is used after anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers for premature ageing and regenerating skin. LIT can also manage excess fat and cellulite, boost lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling. On top of these aesthetic benefits, LIT can also be harnessed for wellbeing by helping manage menopause symptoms, hormones and more…
LIT is a versatile solution that can be combined with a variety of treatments to deliver personalised and enhanced client experiences for a high return on investment with minimal effort.
Light infusion therapy for weight loss and cellulite
Body fat can be challenging to eliminate. Even with exercise and a proper diet, “problem areas” can persist, causing frustration and discouragement amongst even the most steadfast dieters. A growing body of evidence suggests that red light therapy can effectively and significantly help with the loss of fat, reduce the circumference of targeted areas, such as the waist, hips, and thighs, and considerably reduce the appearance of cellulite. While more research is needed to assess the long-term benefits of red-light therapy for weight management, it certainly shows much promise, with the critical benefit of no severe side effects.
Light infusion therapy for health and wellness
It is also increasingly being shown that light infusion therapy can affect the body on a deeper level. Mounting evidence is showing that light therapy can be effective in treating pain and inflammation in joints and muscles as well as insomnia and other sleep disorders, cognitive deficiencies, and immune health issues. It can be a great adjunct to boost the benefits of massage.
Light infusion therapy for skin
The desire to stop the clock on ageing has long been part of the human condition, and it’s particularly true today, with the popularisation and increased accessibility of cosmetic procedures, paired with a rise in the use of filters and Photoshop on social media to create an illusion of perfection.
Unfortunately, many are opting for more invasive interventions that involve injecting a substance into the skin or using harsh chemicals to provoke an anti-inflammatory reaction in the cells to generate collagen. It’s only recently that people have started to turn to light therapy for its incredible benefits with no downtime for those looking to reverse the signs of ageing, sun damage, and see significant improvement in a host of unwanted skin issues. Blue light can eliminate bacteria which can help with acne.
Light infusion therapy to improve the appearance of wrinkles
Collagen and elastin are the proteins responsible for giving the skin the structure and elasticity found in younger skin. The body produces less collagen and elastin as we age, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and papery skin. By increasing the functioning of the mitochondria to optimise collagen production and cellular energy, LIT allows skin cells to protect existing collagen and elastin and increase collagen production, to help reverse the effects of ageing.
Light infusion therapy to reverse sun damage
While the sun has significant benefits, too much exposure can lead to a host of issues, many of them cosmetic, such as premature ageing, patchy sunspots, melasma, and actinic keratosis (which can become cancerous). Many of these issues are treated with chemical peels and topical creams, which aim to regenerate cells and produce collagen. However, these treatments can be painful, increase light sensitivity, and cause skin sensitivity and redness. On the other hand, red light is naturally produced by the sun and has a warming effect, much like UV light, but without any harmful effects.
It penetrates deep into the skin to boost the body’s anti-inflammatory response, natural ability to regenerate and stimulate collagen which can help with pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
Light infusion therapy for inflammation, wounds and scars
Evidence suggests that light infusion therapy's anti-inflammatory and collagen-producing properties can help heal wounds and diminish scars. Numerous clinical studies also point to red light's effectiveness in healing and reducing the appearance of scars.
