LED Light Therapy

Overview

LED (light-emitting diode) is a well-recognised cosmetic and medical treatment that delivers a dosage of specific narrowband light to targeted areas of the skin to promote healing, stimulate collagen production and to treat a variety of conditions including acne and rosacea.

LED works by using evidence based, medically optimised, red, blue and near infrared wavelengths which have the ability to target specific cells and tissue.

Blue LED is primarily used in the treatment of acne. Blue LED works to fight off and destroy P.acnes, the bacteria that causes acne in the skin. It is also proven effective in reducing pore size and balancing sebum production.

Red LED accelerates cell renewal and repair by stimulating fibroblasts to form collagen and elastin. It is clinically proven to increase the body’s natural form of cellular energy (ATP) which kickstarts cells to regenerate faster. The red wavelength is the colour of choice for general skin rejuvenation.

Yellow LED increases the production of red blood cells, which plays a vital role in improving lymphatic drainage, accelerating wound healing, and improving overall skin rejuvenation and hydration. It penetrates the skin just deep enough to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, brighten the complexion, and improve your skin tone and texture.

NIR LED (near infrared) wavelength has even more photo-biostimulatory effects. Deep tissue penetration of NIR light stimulates a photochemical reaction within cells that triggers collagen formation and produces systemic healing effects. The process increases blood flow and oxygenation while improving mitochondrial function, energy production, and cell regeneration.

The frequency of treatments will depend on the individual and the concern that we are targeting.
The use of LED can be used as a stand alone treatment or can be used in combination with other treatments to increase results.
LED is scientifically proven to accelerate the healing process after Cosmetic Injectables. This will aid in preventing bruising, swelling and work as an anti-inflammatory. We recommend booking an LED post cosmetic injectables or skin treatment for a shorter recovery time.
Where possible, please attend your appointment with no make-up
- Please avoid sun exposure post treatment
- Always wear a broad spectrum UVA & UVB sunscreen
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 12 hours post treatment
Please contact the clinic if you have any questions or concerns post treatment.
LED is considered safe for most individuals however some factors that make someone unsuitable include:
- If we believe the patient is not ready or suitable for treatment
- If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those with Epilepsy should consult their doctor before beginning LED light therapy treatments.
- If the patient takes photosensitizing medications
- It is also important to understand that multiple treatments may be needed to achieve desired result. Individual results vary and it is not a one size fits all scenario.
Single Session - $80

LED treatments are pain free, relaxing treatments which require you to lay under the blue, red, yellow or a combination of lights for up to 20 minutes. You may feel a slight warmth or tingling sensation to the skin both during and sometimes after the treatment.
