LED light treatment is the newest thing to hit the world of esthetics. LED also known as Light Emitting Diode therapy was originally developed by NASA to help Navy Seals recover from their wounds and regenerate muscle.
As an esthetician, if you haven’t already, it’s time to look into this and add this therapy to you list skills. Your clients, and certainly your bottom line, will thank you for it.
LED light therapy is a noninvasive, anti-aging procedure that emits packets of light deep into the skin’s layers. It triggers cellular activity to allow the skin to heal and rejuvenate.
Unlike other procedures that accomplish this—namely laser and chemical peels—LED light therapy is painless and involves no downtime. It is ideal for clients of any age who want to improve the appearance of their skin and is safe for all skin types and colors. LED light therapy does not heat up the skin and therefore poses no risk of burns or thermal damage.
The exact benefits of LED light therapy vary, depending on the wavelength used. More on this on training day!
Through the absorption of light via LED light therapy, a number of immediate results are realized:
- Increased blood circulation
- Accelerated healing
- Reduced inflammation
- Minimized appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimized appearance of pores
- Bright, toned skin
- To minimize the downtime from cosmetic surgery
- To minimise the downtime from more aggressive types of aesthetic procedures, such as chemical peels or needling
- Repaired collagen and elastin
- Improved cellular function
