What is LED light therapy?
LED light therapy (Red Light Therapy) is a method in which you expose the skin to different types of light and their wavelengths. This method is widely used for facial skincare. This is one of the reasons why our LED face mask has been a bestseller for years. LED facial therapy uses specific wavelengths with the aim of improving the condition of the skin. The method is also used to reduce or even completely resolve various skin conditions. These include:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Facial wounds
- Scars
- Acne or inflammation
- Redness
Various wavelengths and colors of light are used for this purpose: red, blue, green, and infrared light. Each has its own functions.
Red light therapy for the face
Red light (630nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and improved skin texture. It promotes cell repair and reduces inflammation, contributing to wound healing and pain relief.
Blue light
Blue light (460nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) effectively combats acne by killing the bacteria that cause the condition and reduces excess sebum production. It may also contribute to better sleep by increasing alertness during the day and avoiding blue light in the evening.
Green light
Green light helps reduce hyperpigmentation and promotes a more even skin tone. It soothes the skin, reduces redness, and may lower the intensity of migraines and headaches.
