LED therapy is the application of light energy to the skin for therapeutic benefits. It is a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynethsis. NASA’s space program has proven that LED light therapy (near-infrared) promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. The energy delivered by the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen - the foundation of a healthy and smooth skin.

 

As we age, tan, smoke, wash our face and live within the confines of gravity, the underlying tissues in our skin breakdown and we see uneven coloring, spider veins, general diffuse redness, wrinkles, creases and folds in skin that was once taut. LED therapy works to visibly reduce the appearance of aging skin with a safe light wave that penetrates far beneath the surface of our skin without causing any damage. It works with the body's own repair mechanisms, infusing light energy which the body uses to increase it's own energy production within the cells.

 

LED facial light therapy is an essential part of skin care for troubled skin suffering from inflammatory issues such as acne, rosacea, seasonal and generalized skin sensitivities. Red LED light has calming, anti-inflammatory and rapid wound healing effects on the skin - not just facial skin and Blue LED light kills the acne bacteria in the pores using only light!

 

The Cosmetic Benefits of LED Light Therapy

Minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow`s feet

Clears blemishes and minimizes pores

Improves the appearance of skin tone and texture

Restores skin’s natural collagen production

Reduces melanin that causes brown spots

Reduces the effects of sun-damaged skin

Increases circulation and moisture

Reduces skin degradation, redness and flushing

Decreases scarring, redness, dry patches, itching and sensitivity caused by eczema

Stimulates and activates naturally occurring metabolic function and nutritional elements

 

Health Benefits of LED Light Therapy

Studies show that skin exposed to LED light wavelengths grows 150-200% faster. Therefore, as LED therapy improves the cosmetic appearance of skin, it also promotes the healing of wounds, scars and burns. This happens because skin has a high blood and water content, so it quickly absorbs red light to produce enough energy to cause a healing response from the body.

 

NASA uses LED therapy to treat muscle and bone atrophy and decreased healing time of wounds in astronauts. The US Navy also uses LED therapy on deep sea submarines. Leading cancer treatment specialists are using LED lights to activate light-sensitive cancer treatment pills and having outstanding results in fighting otherwise unreachable brain tumors. LED therapy is advancing the treatment of chemotherapy side effects such as severe mouth sores.
