LED light therapy can be a powerful tool for treating a variety of skin concerns, particularly when integrated into combination therapies.
By harnessing specific wavelengths of light, LED enhances the efficacy of various in-salon treatments, making it a must-have addition for beauty professionals aiming to optimise results and elevate client care.
Advancements in LED technology has led to enhanced treatments and improvements in client comfort, enabling professionals to offer effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic cosmetic therapy (PDCT) solutions.
How LED light therapy works
LED therapy uses targeted wavelengths to address a broad spectrum of skin concerns. Each colour penetrates the skin at different depths, stimulating cellular activity to promote healing, rejuvenation and overall skin health:
1. Blue light (420 nm): Kills acne-causing bacteria, suppresses sebaceous gland production and reduces inflammation.
2. Green light (520 nm): Targets the skin’s surface layers, providing anti-inflammatory benefits and aids tissue regeneration and wound healing by promoting the formation of new blood vessels. In addition, green light helps reduce redness and enhance overall skin health.
3. Yellow light (590 nm): Penetrates the upper layers of the skin, boosts ATP formation to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin via fibroblast activation. This helps manage pigmentation issues, reduce redness and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
4. Red light (633 nm): Enhances collagen and elastin production, reduces collagen breakdown and promotes wound healing. It’s effective for anti-ageing, inflammatory skin presentations and pigmentation concerns.
5. Near-infrared light (830 nm): Stimulates cellular regeneration, accelerates wound healing and has demonstrated the potential to promote faster muscle recovery.
Why combine LED with other treatments?
The versatility of LED therapy lies in its ability to complement a wide array of aesthetic treatments.
These five wavelengths can be used alone or combined with in-salon treatments like IPL for pigmentation, boosting results and offering wellness benefits.
LED also complements facials, peels and body contouring, making it a great addition to post-treatment care.
