Non-surgical Treatment
LED Phototherapy for Skin Care
LED phototherapy is a non-surgical skin-care method that uses selected wavelengths of light. Different wavelengths are chosen according to the skin concern and may be incorporated into an individual plan for skin tone, texture or acne-prone skin.
How Does LED Phototherapy Work?
LED phototherapy uses light at selected wavelengths, which is absorbed by skin cells. Each colour is used for different treatment aims:
- Red light: used in protocols intended to support collagen and elastin production, skin firmness and the appearance of fine lines.
- Blue light: used in protocols for acne-prone skin and to support the management of redness.
- Purple light: combines red and blue wavelengths in selected skin-care protocols.
- Yellow light: used to support circulation and the appearance of redness.
- White light: may be incorporated into plans for skin affected by sun exposure.
- Green light: used in protocols addressing uneven pigmentation and skin tone.
Combination with Other Treatments
LED phototherapy may be combined with treatments such as peeling, microdermabrasion, microneedling and mesotherapy where appropriate.
The wavelength, duration and number of sessions are selected according to the condition and needs of the skin.
