WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY

LED, or light emitting diode therapy, is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light.

NASA originally developed it for plant growth experiments on shuttle missions and later found it to have promise for wound treatment. LED light therapy is now used by some aestheticians to help regenerate the skin from ageing.

Light Therapy uses red & infrared LED light (light-emitting diodes) to heal skin. Unlike a laser, which is a focused beam of light that can be intense enough to burn tissue, LED’s do not deliver enough power to damage the tissue. However, they do deliver enough energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself. LED light is dispersed more evenly and the effects are more uniform than a laser.

LED light therapy is a gentle rejuvenation technique that produces results quickly without any downtime. This is not a new or fleeting science. Light Therapy has been used in the medical profession for over 30 years. Aside from the results, the best news is that Light Therapy has no reported side effects.
