WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY?

 

“What is LED Light Therapy?” and other frequently-asked questions

LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive, painless, and highly effective skin treatment that works to reduce inflammation, acne, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Originally developed by NASA for astronauts who could become injured or ill on long-term space missions, low-level-light therapy is used today as a safe and natural method of treating a variety of skin conditions.

Immediate effects of LED Light Therapy include better circulation, reduced inflammation, and skin-plumping; long-term, you can expect the reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, boosted collagen production, increased lymphatic drainage, and bolstered moisture retention.

What is an LED Light Therapy Session Like?

LED Light Therapy at EB Skin is extremely relaxing and involves no downtime or discomfort.  Your skin therapist will cleanse your skin and gently exfoliate with a light scrub.  

Next,  they will cover your eyes with special goggles and set the device close to your skin.  The light will appear very bright at first, but after a brief adjustment period, you will drift into deep relaxation.  Sessions range from 20 to 30 minutes, after which, your therapist will apply an antioxidant serum and sunscreen.  You will leave feeling energized, rested, and, of course, looking amazing!

What Does Red Light Therapy Do?

When photon energy from red light therapy penetrates the skin, it passes directly through the surface and is absorbed by fibroblast cells, the skin cells responsible for the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.  These are the three constituents of the skin that give it a plump, firm, youthful appearance.  

This energy is converted into ATP, a form of energy that increases the activity of these cells.  The result is more productive fibroblast activity and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
