LED Facial Therapy

Light emitting diode (LED) light therapy is usually offered in our facial packages. It involves a mask that uses varying LED wavelengths which can help treat acne, reduce inflammation, promote anti-aging effects. The U.S. Navy SEALs began using it in the 1990s to help heal wounds quickly and to help regenerate damaged muscle tissues. Since then, the treatment has been researched for different situations in aesthetics. It’s mainly noted for increasing collagen and tissues. All of which can smooth out your skin and reduce the appearance of damage from: age spots, acne, wrinkles etc. 

There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, which don’t contain ultraviolet rays and are readily absorbed into the skin. 

Red light - Red, or infrared, light is used for treating the epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin. When the light is applied to your skin, the epidermis absorbs it and then stimulates collagen proteins. Increased collagen helps your
skin to look smoother and fuller, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red LED light is also helpful to reduce inflammation while improving circulation, which can give you a healthier glow. 

Blue LED light therapy targets the sebaceous glands, which are also called oil glands located beneath your hair follicles. When these glands are overactive you can suffer from oily skin and acne. The blue LED light can target these oil glands and make them less active and may help improve acne breakouts.
