LED light therapy is an extremely effective, scientifically-proven method of skin
healing and rejuvenation. It is also highly recommended for the treatment of
inflammatory skin conditions, including difficult-to-treat rosacea. Backed by
decades of peer-reviewed studies, LED had long been used for the healing and
repair of sports injuries and surgeries. Now, it is widely regarded for these same
benefits when used on the face, improving skin hydration, boosting cellular
energy, and promoting anti-ageing outcomes.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
LED light offers a range of benefits, depending on the wavelength of light used. This is because different wavelengths have different actions on, and in, the body. In the context of skin rejuvenation, in particular for rosacea, a near-infrared wavelength is recommended.
What Does Near-Infrared LED Do?
Infrared and near-infrared light is the wavelength most widely studied in its use
on skin health and injury repair. This wavelength of light energy is absorbed into
the mitochondria of the cells in the treated area. This is the powerhouse
component of a cell, responsible for producing ATP. Skin cells are then
energised and cellular function and turnover is optimised. At the same time,
collagen and hydrating factors are stimulated, and nutrient-rich blood is
encouraged to the tissue. The final benefit, and perhaps the most favourable, is a
reduction in inflammatory cells. As rosacea is classified as an inflammatory skin
disorder, this makes near infra-red LED treatments an excellent option. For the
same reason, it is also an excellent choice for injured or sensitised skin, inflamed
or barrier-impaired skin, or following surgical or non-surgical treatments.
Is There A Difference Between LED Devices?
Yes! There are huge differences between LED devices. This includes the
wavelength/s of light used, which achieve different things. But more importantly,
the power output and the fluence matter when it comes to LED. Simply put, if the
amount, strength, and quality of LED light diffused into the skin is not sufficient,
no significant results can be achieved. At Skinnotion, we use Healite II as our
LED device of choice. Healite II is recognised globally as the market leading LED
in cosmetics and healthcare, offering incomparable strength and quality LED.
