How does it work?

LED light therapy is based on the principle that skin uses light as a source of energy to stimulate natural cellular responses. Each wavelength of the visible light spectrum corresponds to different colours which penetrate the skin at different depths. Depending on how deeply the wavelengths penetrate, they cause different biological reactions.

• Red light penetrates deep into the epidermis to promote collagen and elastin synthesis and so help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red LED light is also thought to improve blood circulation and help with the penetration of active ingredients.
• Near infrared light has anti-inflammatory properties and triggers wound healing. This wavelength can also help with pain relief and muscle relaxation.
• Blue light is antibacterial. It reduces activity in the sebaceous glands and targets the bacteria responsible for acne. It can also calm sensitive, problematic skin.
• Green light has a calming effect and can help lighten age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation for a brighter, more even complexion.
• Yellow light is used to relieve rosacea, flushed skin, and redness. It can also help reduce melanin production.
• The Scalp Diode is for treating hair loss. It improves blood circulation and helps stimulate the hair follicles.

The various LEDs can be used individually or combines for multi-wavelength treatments to enhance results. Several treatments will be necessary to see optimum results.
