Full Spectrum LED Light Therapy
What is LED light therapy?
LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is the targeted delivery of energy producing light used for therapeutic benefits on and in the body. That was a mouth full! Light therapy has been used for thousand of years in ancient Egypt, India and China. In 1903 Dr Niels Ryberg Finsen won the Noble prize for treating lupus vulgaris through phototherapy. Later, NASA used light therapy to heal muscles and wound healing.
How does it work on my skin?
Our cells have the ability to convert light into something called ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the source of energy for every cell in the body. Without it, we don’t function at all. Without enough of it, we don’t function well. It’s our body’s way of utilizing raw energy to power and fuel the body. Similarly to how we convert food into usable energy, it’s our body’s way of powering and fueling up.
When we use LED light, our cells turn this light into ATP to rejuvenate the treated area, stimulating collagen and elastin, accelerating healing, as well as wiping free radicals and pesky bacteria. Not to be confused with laser treatments, LED light therapy is a safe and effective way for anyone who wants to diminish the appearance of the most common skin concerns, from fine lines and loss of firmness to stubborn breakout activity and hyper-pigmentation.
Here at All About You Salon and Spa we offer the full spectrum of LED, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Cyan, White. Also, depending on the need of our clients the continuous or pulse light can be used on the skin which has benefits characteristic to each mode.
What is the benefit of the Red light as part of skincare?
Red light has anti-inflammatory properties, soothes irritation and rosacea, and stimulates collagen production. Red light (wavelength 625nm-660nm) penetrates human tissue superficially, with approximately 80% of the energy being absorbed in the first 2 mm. Red light energy has a significant effect on mitochondrial stimulation, which increases the production of ATP and in turn boosts fibroblast activity. This leads to an increase in cellular turnover, superficial circulation, and an anti-inflammatory emission. Moreover, if used with pulse lighting it has the ability to rid of free radical in the skin.
Red LED have the deepest tissue penetration of the visible wavelengths and are therefore used to target dermal structures, such as adnexa and fibroblasts. Red LED have been studied for a wide variety of uses, including wound healing, photodamage, the treatment of NMSCs, precancers, warts, and the prevention of oral mucositis in cancer patients.
What is the benefit of the Blue light as part of skincare?
Blue LED light (wavelength 470nm) is loved for its ability to wipe out bacteria, especially the unique kind of bacteria which exists in breakouts and acne. The blue light spectrum quickly shuts down bacteria’s metabolism, killing it promptly upon the use of LED blue light. This makes it a great, non-invasive tool for a breakout that you're looking to banish ASAP. blue LED has also shown promise in the treatment of thicker lesions such as psoriasis. A 2011 prospective, randomized study of 37 patients showed statistically significant improvement of irradiated plaques after four weeks of treatment.
What is the benefit of Yellow light as part of skin care?
Yellow LEDs penetrate the skin between 0.5 and 2mm. Much of yellow LED application has been focused on photoaging and as an adjuvant therapy to laser treatment. Recently, it has also been shown to decrease the intensity and duration of erythema after fractional laser skin resurfacing.
Yellow light reduces the appearance of redness, swelling, and inflammation. This color of light is beneficial for Rosacea and treating burns such as sunburns. Also stimulates the production of red blood cells in the skin and is effective in treating abnormal pigmentation (hypo and hyper), improving lymphatic function, and stimulating circulation.
What is the benefit of green light as part of skin care?
Green light in patients with pain management according to trial done by Mohab M. Ibrahim, MD
The green light penetrates the skin, helps to control hyperpigmentation of the skin and has a great regenerative power of skin nutrients damaged by sun and age. The green light acts against the melanocytes, the melanin forming cells in the inner part of the epidermis, inhibiting the production of excess melanin.
As a result, it helps eliminate dark spots on the skin and is highly beneficial for people suffering hyperpigmentation, melasma and vitiligo. Dark scars are lightened and skin tone is equal with expression lines reduced.
As great as it sounds, LED Light isn’t a (colourful) magic wand that is going to fix skin concerns overnight, however, after several sessions with continued use and as part of a wider treatment plan, amazing results can be achieved.
What is the benefits of purple light?
A combination of red and blue light creates purple light, which helps eliminate toxins, reduces inflammation and improves healing and circulation of blood. As a result, purple light is highly recommended after aggressive and invasive treatments (such as Botox, fillers or lasers), since it considerably reduces inflammation and marks. It also helps wound healing; reduces visible acne and acne marks.
What is the benefits of cyanine light?
Cyanine light promotes metabolism, it will help in enhancing cell energy gradually. It can help in promoting skin collagen growth as well and help in brightening your skin tone.
Can anyone use the LED lights during facials?
LED lights are completely UV free! So yes, it can be used by anyone.
How do I know that it’d be a good idea to talk to my Skin Therapist about it?
Two of the most common skin concerns our Skin Therapists hear are aging and breakouts. If either of these are on your mind, chances are you are a great candidate for LED light therapy. It can be an added enhancement to any facial, as it does not add any time to your facial in most cases. Your Skin Therapist will simply incorporate the light therapy during your mask step!
Do you have any stories of success from treatment about the LED lights?
We’ve seen a significant improvement in the use of LED light therapy on breakouts. With cystic breakouts or acne condition like adult acne, individual breakouts can present themselves in a deep, swollen fashion. Extracting these will only prolong healing time, and could, in fact, lead to the spread of bacteria — which means the spreading of more breakouts! LED therapy is a way to heal broken out skin from the inside-out, providing therapeutic relief to this stress-inducing skin condition. Best results are seen with consistent, consecutive LED sessions.
What does it all cost?
A consultation if very important in determining what is best for you and your needs. We suggest a very extensive cleaning with dermabraision and AHA peel. The LED light therapy will be applied thereafter finished with a mask and sunscreen for your first treatment.
