LED Therapy
Light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. Research* has shown that “LED is an effective therapeutic modality to promote the healing of skin wounds.” The biological effects promoted by this therapy “are related to the decrease in inflammatory cells, increased fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis stimulation, formation of granulation tissue, and increased collagen synthesis.” LED therapy is also known for its ability to rejuvenate skin, treat acne, decrease inflammation and increase micro-circulation.
Blue, red and near-infrared are the most commonly used wavelengths in LED light therapy. These specific wavelengths are well researched and scientifically proven to produce therapeutic benefits. Blue penetrates through the epidermis and is known to kill C. acnes bacteria. Red reaches into the dermal layer and has been shown to enhance collagen and elastin production through photobiostimulation of fibroblasts. Near-infrared penetrates deepest and increases micro-circulation (tissue repair), decreases inflammation and attenuates pain.
