Light emitting diode (LED) light therapy is growing in popularity in both aesthetician offices and at home. Using varying LED wavelengths, this skincare technique purportedly helps:

• Treat acne
• Reduce inflammation
• Promote anti-aging effects

You may be a candidate for LED light therapy if you have these types of skincare concerns and haven’t gotten the results you want from skin products. LED therapy is also safe for all skin colors, and it doesn’t cause any burning.

How it works

LED light therapy has an established history in skin uses and treatment and has been researched for different situations in aesthetics. It’s mainly noted for increasing collagen and tissue, all of which can smooth out your skin and reduce the appearance of damage from:

• Age spots
• Acne
• Wrinkles

There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, which don’t contain ultraviolet rays and are readily absorbed into the skin.
