The Science Behind LED Light Therapy
At its core, LED light therapy uses light-emitting diodes to deliver energy to the skin at varying wavelengths. These wavelengths penetrate the skin’s layers to stimulate the natural cellular processes in each layer. Unlike UV light which is damaging to the skin, LED light is completely safe and works to rejuvenate and repair.
Here’s a breakdown of the three main wavelengths used in LED light therapy, and their unique benefits:
Red Light Therapy
Red light wavelengths penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and working to increase the skin’s elasticity. Ideal for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it's a favourite for anti-ageing treatments and leaves your skin looking plump and youthful. Red LED light targets cells in the skin called fibroblasts, which are crucial for producing collagen—a protein that gives skin its youthful qualities, like plumpness and elasticity.

Near-Infrared Light
Near-infrared light wavelengths promote cellular turnover and healing, reducing redness and enhancing circulation. It’s perfect for calming sensitive or irritated skin and accelerating recovery after more intensive skin treatments. Near-infrared light therapy promotes healing and reduces inflammation, making it beneficial for various skin concerns.

Blue Light Therapy
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin’s surface. By reducing inflammation and preventing breakouts, it’s a must-have if you’re battling persistent acne or hormonal purges. Blue LED light targets oil glands on the skin to reduce the overproduction of sebum and improve acne problems.

LED Light Therapy vs. Traditional Treatments
We’ve got to give credit where it’s due; treatments like chemical peels, lasers and microdermabrasion have earned their merits, and have their places in many people’s skin treatment sessions and offer incredible results. But, some truly unique advantages to LED Light Therapy set it apart from the rest!
Non-invasive and gentle
Unlike other treatments that involve chemicals, lasers or physical abrasion, LED light therapy is completely non-invasive, making it the superior choice for those with sensitive skin.
Long-term benefits
LED light therapy provides long-lasting results and the foundations for better skin going forward by going beyond surface-level quick fixes - the wavelengths address skin concerns at a cellular level creating more permanent fixes for your skin concerns.
Sustainable and cost-effective
With LED light therapy, there’s no need for frequent purchases of costly topical treatments or repetitive harsh treatments with long downtimes; it’s gentleness makes it a more sustainable option for long-term skincare.
Proof of effectiveness
The proof is in the pudding - plenty of scientific studies and client testimonials consistently demonstrate how effective LED light therapy truly is!
A clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that red and blue LED light therapy significantly improved the appearance of acne and reduced inflammation within just a few weeks. It’s no wonder LED light therapy is as popular as it’s become over the last few years when people are getting results like these in a short amount of time!
