Different coloured lights trigger different biological processes in the skin to promote healing.
WRINKLES + ACNE + INFLAMMATION + NON-INVASIVE
One of the most all-around effective options available is LED light therapy, proven to stimulate collagen, treat acne, erase fine lines and improve skin tone and clarity,
LED is gentle, non-invasive, and painless and works for everyone regardless of age or skin tone. Combined with other treatments, such as R.F. and ultrasound, it makes one of the most versatile beauty solutions in the world.
Used by NASA and Celebrities
Well-researched by the science community, NASA technology in the early 1990s introduced L.E.D. light therapy. The space agency discovered L.E.D.s (short for ‘light-emitting diodes’) to stimulate plant growth and grow vegetables in zero gravity.
It was then that Scientists tested LED light therapy on astronauts to heal wounds in space. They found it remarkably effective and further research led to its adoption for treating post-surgical scars, psoriasis, eczema, and some skin cancers with targeted drugs.
In the late 2000s, doctors discovered that L.E.D. light therapy boosted collagen production, and the treatment entered the cosmetic world.
As LED activates skin cells with pulses of low – non-thermal light energy, the cell converts light energy into fuel, stimulating the cells to produce proteins and lipids essential for building and repairing the skin. It does not use heat or any "invasive" process, meaning it does not break the skin or cause discomfort. It triggers the body to convert light and cell energy without thermal heat.
L.E.D. Light Therapy can give skin cells the energy to produce more collagen and heal faster. Thus, it could also fix minor damage. LED photo facial treatments have:
LED Light Therapy has been clinically proven safe for all skin types and effective in treating many skin conditions. Also referred to as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy, you can expect a gentle, heat-free treatment that does not contain harmful ultraviolet wavelengths and, therefore, cannot damage skin tissue.
When the light interacts with your skin, it encourages cells to produce more ATP, a chemical that fuels healthy cell growth. This process sets off a series of metabolic events that speed up circulation, cell reproduction and tissue repair. With higher ATP levels, fibroblast cells - active stem cells responsible for producing the skin's connective tissue - are better at producing collagen and elastin. As a result, your skin looks and feels smoother, plumper, brighter and younger.
LED light therapy utilizes your skin's ability to use light as an energy source to trigger a healing response. The treatment penetrates different skin depths using specific colour wavelengths. The absorbed light stimulates cells, promoting collagen production, enhancing elasticity, increasing blood circulation and oxygen flow, and facilitating toxin release. This process activates the anti-aging mechanism, normalizes cellular imbalances, and improves skin tone and clarity. The biochemical reaction is similar to plant photosynthesis, which prompts your body to convert light into cellular energy. LED Light Therapy is medically endorsed and clinically validated, and laboratory studies have shown that exposure to these wavelengths leads to skin cell regeneration.
The best part is that there is no downtime or risk of unwanted side effects.
Blue light therapy - wavelength 490 nanometers
Red light therapy - wavelength 640 nanometers
Green light therapy - wavelength 523 nanometers
Amber light therapy - wavelength 590 nanometers
Combining different LED wavelengths can be more effective than using just one wavelength alone, depending on the desired outcome. This technique can work on everything from relieving inflammation; wound healing, and stimulation of tissue regeneration, smoothing fine lines to improving texture and tone.

LED light treatments typically last around 15 to 20 minutes to complement a facial or treatment.
LED therapy is one of the only non-invasive beauty treatments without any side effects.
