LED Light Skin Therapy: How it Works, Benefits and Risks

How many times have you seen a beauty influencer or a celebrity rave about the benefits of LED light skin therapy? Perhaps you have even considered trying it yourself, but like anyone who’s considering a new dermatological procedure, you probably still have unanswered questions. If you are curious about this certain skin treatment, here’s a short guide.

 

What is it?

 

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy doesn't involve pain or invasive methods. It uses special light wavelengths to boost cell activity. The light enters the skin and is taken in by cells, helping them make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which gives cells energy. With more ATP, cells work faster, heal quicker, and there is less swelling.

 

Benefits

 

One major benefit of LED light skin therapy is that it helps your skin make more collagen. As a result, your skin can look smoother, younger, tighter, and brighter, with fewer wrinkles.

 

Another significant advantage is the enhancement of skin tone through the use of various light wavelengths, each addressing specific skin concerns. For instance, red light therapy reduces redness and swelling, promoting a more balanced complexion. Green light therapy targets hyperpigmentation, evening out dark spots for a more uniform skin tone. Meanwhile, blue light therapy combats acne-causing bacteria, effectively reducing breakouts and preventing future ones. This wide range of uses makes LED light skin therapy good for different skin types and problems.

 

LED light therapy also helps your skin by improving blood flow and making wounds heal faster. Better blood flow means more nutrients go to skin cells, helping them grow and repair. This leads to quicker healing of cuts or scars. This treatment is not only gentle and painless but also works well without needing surgery or cuts, offering a thorough way to care for your skin.

 

Risks

 

Individuals who have light-sensitive conditions or are on medications that make the skin sensitive to light should talk to their healthcare provider before starting the therapy. However, aside from that and possible temporary redness or irritation, LED light therapy is generally safe and doesn't require recovery time.
