What is LED Therapy: What does each color do?

LED light therapy had gained popularity as a non-invasive treatment for various skin concerns and health issues. Originally developed by NASA for plant growth experiments in space, LED light therapy has since been adapted for use in skincare, offering a safe and effective way to rejuvenate and heal the skin. The treatment works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin at various depths, triggering biological processes within our cells. These processes can include increased collagen production, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing, among others. LED therapy is generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, making it an attractive option for those seeking alternative or complementary treatments.

Different colors of LED light are used to target specific concerns. Red light is often used for anti-aging purposes, as it stimulates collagen production and improves circulation. Blue light is known for its antibacterial properties, making it effective for acne treatment. Green light can help with pigmentation issues and soothe the skin. Yellow light is believed to reduce inflammation and promote lymphatic drainage. Near-infrared light, though not visible, penetrates deepest into the skin and is used for pain relief and to speed up wound healing. By combining different colors of light, LED therapy can provide a comprehensive approach to skincare, addressing multiple concerns simultaneously and promoting overall skin health and radiance.
