LED Light Treatments at Skin Medical

LED blue light therapy targets and denatures P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne. While it won’t prevent spots from forming deep within the skin, it effectively reduces redness and inflammation by eliminating surface bacteria.

This therapy can be used on the face and body, making it suitable for treating blemishes and body breakouts such as ‘bacne’ on the back and shoulders. Treatment can be administered in a clinic or with a home-use device, although home devices are less powerful and require more frequent use.

LED blue light therapy is effective at reducing acne bacteria and improving skin condition. Home-use devices can still be beneficial when used consistently, though they are less powerful than clinical equipment.

Other LED light therapies include red light for inflammation and collagen production, yellow light for cellular communication, and near-infrared light for additional collagen boosting. 

LED blue light therapy offers a non-invasive, convenient solution to reduce acne and improve skin health.

A LED blue light therapy session takes around 20 minutes, with a typical regime of two sessions per week. The effects usually last for several months, providing long-term relief from acne and skin blemishes.

LED blue light therapy is generally safe, but some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

• – Redness: The treated area may appear red for several hours post-treatment.
• – Swelling: There may be temporary swelling in the treated area.
• – Tenderness: The area might feel tender, particularly if it swells.
• – Crusting or Peeling: The skin may crust over and peel off within a few days.

These side effects are typically short-lived and subside on their own. Always consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure the best care and results.

The red light penetrates the skin to stimulate cellular repair and increase circulation, promoting healthier and younger-looking skin. This non-invasive treatment has no downtime, making it convenient for regular use.

LED red light therapy is generally safe and painless. However, it’s crucial to protect your eyes during treatment to prevent potential damage. Some people might experience headaches or irritability. There’s a very remote chance of burns, typically if a home-use session continues for too long due to falling asleep. Most devices have automatic shut-off features to mitigate this risk. Always follow safety guidelines and device instructions to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
