What is LED Light Therapy?

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin.

In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow.

Today, dermatologists and estheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Skin specialists often use LED light therapy together with other treatments, such as creams, ointments and facials, to give you the best results.

Are there different kinds of LED light therapy?

LED light therapy uses various wavelengths that correspond to different visible colors. Each color penetrates the skin at different depths.

Blue Light (465 nm):

Affects the uppermost layer of your skin. It reduces inflammation and stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for younger-looking skin that diminishes with age.

Red Light (630 nm):

Travels further into your skin. It destroys acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes).

Infrared Light penetrates deepest (830 nm):

Provides deep tissue relaxation and improved circulation, enhancing overall skin health.

Benefits of LED Light Therapy

Different wavelengths of LED lights enter the skin at different depths, making this therapy useful to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:‌

Acne

Blue light is often used to treat acne. Studies show that blue light can kill the bacteria responsible for acne. It can also ease how much your oil glands make. This stops the hair follicle from becoming clogged and causing acne. Red light is also typically used in combination with blue light to help ease inflammation and redness.‌

Aging

Red light stimulates skin cells called fibroblasts. These help make collagen, which are important parts of skin recovery. Some studies have found that red LED light therapy tightens skin, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and makes skin smoother and softer. ‌

Wound healing

Red LED light stimulates collagen, which is important for healing wounds. People who have had surgery for skin resurfacing have also had red LED light therapy after the procedure. Studies have found that this form of light therapy lowers redness, swelling, and bruising, and speeds up the healing process.

Psoriasis

Red and near-infrared LED light therapy can help lower redness and inflammation in psoriasis. One study showed that these light therapies also lowered psoriasis pimples and plaques, or red, itchy, scaly sores.

Skin cancers

Photodynamic therapy has been performed using both red and green LED lights to treat skin cancers. After the medication is applied to the skin, red and green lights have been used to treat Bowen’s disease and red light has been used to treat basal cell carcinoma lesions.

Hair loss

Red LED light therapy can help stimulate hair growth for those with male- or female-pattern hair loss.

FAQ

How long does it take for LED light therapy to work?
faq unit arrow

To see significant benefits, you typically need to have a series of in-office treatments. You may need treatment each week for about a month. Then you might need maintenance treatments every month or every few months.

Some at-home devices may also require a substantial time commitment. You might need to use your device twice a day for 30 to 60 minutes for four to five weeks. Other devices take just a few minutes a day.

Reviews from Our Clients

Cody M.
5 Stars Review

My daughter was treated for acne at AcneClinicNYC, and I always wanted to try PRP for anti-aging (I’ve read a lot about it being the most gentle way of rejuvenation). Oh my gosh, I fell in love with this treatment. I do four sessions a year now and plan to stick with it. Every treatment feels like a breath of fresh air, and I can see how thankful my skin is: bright, tight, and lifted!

5 Stars Review

I came to AcneClinicNYC to treat my scars, and I also had acne at the time. Veronika said we should tackle the acne first. My skin cleared up fast, and then they did three PRP treatments. This got rid of all my acne scars. Now my skin is even-toned and smooth, and a lot of people have noticed.

5 Stars Review

After successfully treating my acne with AcneClinicNYC, I was planning to address my hair issues at another clinic. However, my esthetician offered their PRP hair treatment (done on the scalp), and it turned out to be half the price of the place I was considering. I love my results. Thank you for transforming both my skin and hair!

5 Stars Review

I tried every product made for acne with no results. Once on their treatments and products my acne cleared up. I learned so much about my acne and my skin. Their home regimen are entirely personalized!
