What are LED Photodynamic Facials?
LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin. Approximately thirty years ago scientists began studying LED’s impact on reducing the time for wounds to heal by helping cells and tissues grow faster.
In 2023, we use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. LED light therapy uses various wavelengths that correspond to different visible colors. Each color penetrates the skin at different depths.
- Blue light affects the uppermost layer of your skin.
- Yellow light penetrates deeper.
- Red light travels further into your skin.
- Near-infrared light penetrates deepest.
What happens during in-office LED Photodynamic Facials therapy?
After putting on your goggles, lie on your back as your healthcare provider places the LED light therapy device above your face. Lie still during the entire treatment as the device works. The treatment usually lasts about 20 minutes.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment. During treatment, you might feel some warmth but no discomfort.
