Inside LED Therapies: Acne & Anti-aging Benefits One of the most recently acclaimed and documented treatments for aging and improving skin concerns such as eczema and acne, LED light therapy is fast becoming a revolution in health care. LED light therapy is a non-invasive procedure done with panels of red and/or blue lights that deliver low-level pulses of light up to three times brighter than the sun to activate skin cells. It works like photosynthesis for the skin – it converts light energy already found in skin cells to promote healing and anti-aging effects. As we age, tan, smoke, wash our face and live within the confines of gravity, collagen and elastin breakdown and we see wrinkles, creases and folds in skin that was once taut.

LED therapy can reverse the appearance of aging skin, enlarged pores and crow’s feet with a light wave that penetrates far beneath the surface of our skin without causing any damage. It also pulls collagen to the surface to fill-in lines and wrinkles.

LED light therapy is safe and effective for all skin types, has no known side effects, downtime or pain and requires no after care.

For anti-aging treatment, LED Therapy will minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. It will also improve the appearance of skin tone and texture by restoring the skin’s natural collagen production, and help to increases circulation and moisture.

Another added benefit is that it reduces skin degradation, redness and flushing, which may help with Rosacae.

For those with sun damage and skin discoloration, LED Therapy reduces melanin that causes brown spots and the effects of sun-damaged skin.

As for the treatment of acne, LED Therapy clears blemishes and minimizes pores.

"[Blue] Light gets at the core of what causes acne eruptions: P. acnes, the bacterial responsible for causing acne inflammation, pumps out tiny molecules called porphyrins. When those porphyrin are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria. Without P. acnes around to cause inflammation, acne clears up." -The American Academy of Dermatology.
