Benefits of LED Light Therapy

LED lights have been available since the 1960s and have only been used in the past few years to treat the skin. Different wavelengths enter the skin at different depths, making this therapy useful to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

Acne. Blue light is often used to treat acne. Studies show that blue light can kill the bacteria responsible for acne. It can also ease how much your oil glands make. This stops the hair follicle from becoming clogged and causing acne.

Red light is also typically used in combination with blue light to help ease inflammation and redness.

Aging. Red light stimulates skin cells called fibroblasts. This helps make collagen, which are important parts of skin recovery. Studies have found that red LED light therapy tightens skin, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and makes skin smoother and softer.

Wound healing. Red LED light stimulates collagen, which is important for healing wounds. People who have had surgery for skin resurfacing have also had red LED light therapy after the procedure. Studies have found that this form of therapy lowers redness, swelling, and bruising, and speeds up the healing process.
