LED LIGHT THERAPY

RED LED LIGHT THERAPY

Red light therapy has a wavelength of between 620nm (light red) to 700nm (dark red) and is predominately used for its anti-ageing benefits. Because of its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production it proves to be a very effective skin treatment.

Red light therapy also helps to strengthen the skin, thanks to the additional collagen production making the skin more resilient. As a result, this makes it a very effective treatment for Rosacea. In addition, it’s red light is highly effective at reducing the redness that is associated with broken / weak capillaries. Lastly, red LED light also helps the skin to retain moisture more effectively.

ANTI INFLAMMATORY QUALITIES OF RED LED LIGHT

Red light therapy is also extremely anti-inflammatory therefore reduces inflammation within the tissues and helping to accelerate the healing process, so is particularly useful for healing blemishes, repairing sun damage, fading scars and improving overall skin tone.

BLUE LED LIGHT THERAPY

Blue light therapy has a wavelength of between 405nm to 420nm and is predominately used for its anti-bacterial benefits and therefore used in acne treatment. At it’s wavelength of 415nm, it is absorbed by a molecule called porphyrin. P.acne bacteria contain abundant amounts of porphyrin. Thus, the absorption of blue light by porphyrin creates singlet oxygen (free radicals) which are released into the bacteria. As a result, the bacteria is destroyed.

Blue light is also anti-inflammatory. However for best results blue light is used in combination with red light therapy, for its additional skin rejuvenation and wound healing benefits.

AMBER LED LIGHT THERAPY

Amber light therapy has a wavelength of between 570nm to 620nm. Sometimes broken down into Yellow or Orange. Amber light is also effective when dealing with Rosacea symptoms. It is ideal for sensitive skin because of its calming and soothing. In addition, it helps to flush waste from the skin, boost lymphatic flow and increase cellular growth. Lastly, amber LED light’s skin effects are boosted when used in combination with red light therapy.
