How Can LED Light Therapy Help Me?

It comes as no surprise that LED light therapy is a standard part of many facial packages in clinics across the UK and the rest of the world. With people becoming interested in trying out the latest beauty buys and the advancement of skincare providing  better solutions to skin concerns, LED comes as no exception.

Although there are thousands upon thousands of topical creams on the market to treat an abundance of skin issues, these treatments can only reach so far into the skin’s layers. Although some creams, gels, and lotions are marketed as reaching the deepest layers of the skin, At Laser it we would urge you to take the claim with a pinch of salt.

The skin is designed to protect you. It is literally a barrier. Therefore, no matter how hard a cream tries to reach the deepest layer of your skin, how far will it actually reach?

Moreover, does the cream you’ve bought know your area of concern? Is the latest trend suitable for your skin?

Our approach to skincare is different at Laser it. We believe in skincare designed for each client. There is no wonder cream that will work for everyone, and nothing can compare to science backed and medical grade solutions.

This is where LED light therapy differs from a topical over the-counter cream, or a topical cream from a social media craze. We are not claiming that topical creams are useless, rather that when used correctly alongside LED light therapy, an even better result is given.

LED light therapy is designed to target different layers of the skin, depending on the skin issue needing to be addressed. Contact us for more information, or continue reading for more infornation about this amazing treatment on offer.

Where did LED light therapy start?

Believe it or not, LED light therapy research was started by NASA in the 1990s. They wanted to learn about the impact the therapy has on the body and wound healing. Fast forward to now, and clinics around the world have used this research to implement LED light therapy into their skin treatments.

Is it safe?

As long as you are following the advice as set out by a reputable treatment provider and are either using approved equipment or receiving treatment from a registered and reuptable provider, you’re safe. LED light therapy contains no UV rays, so your skin won’t be damaged.

Sounds like a fantastic treatment! Can it help me?

We welcome you to contact us if you would like to discuss your skin concerns and how we can help treat them. Below we have written a more detailed guide about the skin concerns LED has been effective at treating. The list below is a guideline only and each person’s situation is different.

Treat acne with LED therapy

Blue LED light is used to treat those with acne. The blue light combats acne by killing bacteria on the skin. Although there is still research to be done about blue light LED therapy and acne reduction, this promising Japanese study is a great spring board.

Stimulate collagen production

Using the red LED light will assist in collagen production. Collagen is vital at keeping our skin elasticity at its best, and like most things as we get older, collagen production decreases. Keeping collgen levels up helps the skin stay plumper and smoother, which in turn reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Reduce redness

There could be a number of reasons why skin is on the red side, so please speak to your treatment provider first. However, hundreds of people benefit from yellow LED light therapy where redness is concerned. Rosacea can also be controlled by incorporating a yellow LED light therapy course into your skin course.

Brighten the skin with LED light therapy

Dull and lacklustre skin can be difficult to combat, especially in the modern day world we live in. The orange LED light may be just what you have been looking for. When combined with a healthy diet, plenty of water and a skin regime just for you, brightness and vitally are given back to your skin.

An ongoing list of skin concerns

The above doesn’t even scratch the surface on what LED light therapy can do for you. In some cases, clients may have a few areas of concerns they would like to target with the therapy. In these kinds of cases, we would recommend a mix of different colours of LED light therapy after having a chat and a look at your skin. If you have any skin concerns above, or want: skin rejuvenation, irritation, or any other skin issues, please get in touch.

The bottom line of LED light therapy

LED light therapy is an effective method to target a large range of skin conditions. However, LED light therapy is not a magic wand and other factors must be taken into account and worked together when creating a skin care plan.

These factors include:

• skin care products
• fluid intake
• diet
• exercise
• lifestyle

When these factors are balanced and work together, LED light therapy has the best chance at helping you reach your skin goals.

How about you? Have you ever had LED light therapy before? We would love to hear about your experiences.
