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. That's one of the reasons our LED facial mask has been a bestseller for years. LED facial therapy uses specific wavelengths to improve skin condition . The method is also used to reduce or even completely eliminate various skin conditions . These include:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Wounds on the face
- Scars
- Acne or inflammation
- Redness
This uses different wavelengths and colors of light: red, blue, green, and infrared light, each with its own functions.
Red light therapy for the face
Red light (630nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and improved skin texture. It promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation, contributing to wound healing and pain relief.
Blue light
Blue light (460nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) effectively fights acne by killing the bacteria that cause the condition and reduces excess sebum production . It can 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 can lessen the intensity of migraines and headaches.
