What is LED light therapy?
LED light therapy (Red light therapy) is a method in which you expose the skin to different types of light and their wavelengths. This method is widely used for facial skin care. That is partly why our LED face mask has been a bestseller for years. LED facial therapy uses specific waves with the aim of improving the condition of the skin . The method is also used to reduce or even completely eliminate various skin conditions . With this you can think of:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Wounds on the face
- Scars
- Acne or inflammation
- Redness
Different wavelengths and colors of light are used: red, blue, green and infrared light. Each with their own functions.
Red light therapy for the face
Red light (630nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to a reduction of wrinkles and improved skin texture. It promotes cell repair and reduces inflammation, which contributes to wound healing and pain relief.
Blue light
Blue light (460nm) + NIR infrared (850nm) effectively fights acne by killing the bacteria that cause the condition and reduces excess sebum production . It can also contribute to better sleep by increasing alertness during the day and avoiding blue light at night.
Green light
Green light helps reduce hyperpigmentation and promotes a more even skin tone. It soothes the skin, reduces redness and can reduce the intensity of migraines and headaches.
