What is led light therapy?

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which emits therapeutic wavelengths (or colours) of light energy. This was originally developed to fast-track the healing of wounds and post-surgery scars and is now known to also produce rejuvenation of healthy skin. LED light therapy should not be confused with laser therapy.

If the therapeutic light energy is in the correct wavelength, the cells in the dermis layer of skin will convert that light energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the fuel that the cell uses to do its job. The fibroblast cells in the dermis layer have the job of producing collagen (which give the skin fullness or that plumped look) and elastin (which give the skin the ability to bounce back). Thus, LED gives the cells a ‘full tank of fuel’ and these fibroblast cells start to produce collagen and elastin like when one was 20-25 years old.

LED is great for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving uneven skin tone, reducing pores size, and brightening the skin.

The result is the complexion is plumped up with new collagen (which pushes the folds of the wrinkles out) and new elastin (which helps to tighten the skin and give it more elasticity).

If you’ve lost weight recently, or have a poor diet, or you’ve spent too much time in the sun, etc., then it can take longer to see the start of results, but with continued use everyone can benefit from LED light therapy.

What is led yellow light therapy?

• Yellow LED Light Therapy is the deepest penetrating medical grade treatment that we offer LED targets the light receptors on our cells which then converts the light into energy. The cells are then fuelled with all the energy that they need to be able to function at optimal ability.
• The LED Light also triggers the lymphatic system, improving the removal of toxins from the treated area. Yellow Light Therapy is used to increase wound healing, collagen induction, skin hydration and the overall health of the skin.
