LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy is a fast-growing technology used to treat a multitude of conditions that require stimulation of healing, relief of inflammation, and restoration of function. We can treat Acne, Rosacea, pigmentation, it is also widely used as an anti ageing treatment and much, much more.
 
What Is LED Light Therapy And How Does It Work?
LED treatments work by using an array of bright light-emitting diodes (originally developed by NASA!) that send low-level light energy into the deeper layers of the skin.

Just as plants absorb and convert sunlight into cellular building blocks, skin absorbs therapeutic light to use it as a source of energy to stimulate cellular regeneration to produce collagen and elastin, kill Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria, whilst reducing inflammation and speeding up healing.

LED Light Therapy is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that is gentle, painless, safe and effective. Treatments are non-invasive and non-abrasive and have beneficial effects on:
 
·         pigmentation
·         sun spots
·         acne, psorasis
·         hypersensitive skin
·         rosacea
·         healing of burns
·         sagging skin around the eyes
·         wrinkles
·         anti ageing
 
We use three different lights in our therapies:
 
Red LED Light Therapy 650-730nm helps to encourage collagen production (anti ageing effect) and healing of the skin. It helps to increase blood and oxygen flow to the skin and capillaries, therefore increasing cellular metabolism and strengthening the capillary walls. Red LED Therapy is also an excellent treatment for scarring and rosacea. The red light penetrates deeply into skin tissue. It stimulates gradual healing by increasing blood circulation and lymphatic activity.
 
Blue LED Light Therapy 430-450nm has proven to be very effective with cases of acne. In clinical studies, blue light has been shown to generate singlet oxygen which attacks the bacteria that causes acne.
 
Green LED Light Therapy 525-550nm targets melanocytes, melanin producing cells located in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis. Inhibits the production of excess melanin, prevents it from travelling to the skin surface and breaks up melanin clusters to diminish existing discolouration. It helps to lighten hyper pigmentation spots revealing a brighter complexion, and is used to treat dilated capillaries, sagging skin around the eyes, pigmentation and sun spots.
 
LED Light Therapy can be use as a treatment on its own or can be combined to other skin treatments to add more therapeutic results.
 
After the skin consultation we will prescribe the most beneficial LED Therapy for your skin condition.
