LED stands for Light Emitting Diode.  It is basically a computer chip that produces light when an electric voltage is applied. Unlike normal light globes, they do not have a wire filament, so will not burn out.  They also put out very little heat energy.

LED are able to be manufactured in a variety of different colour or wavelengths of light. Different wavelengths of light can penetrate skin tissue to different depths.  The longer the wavelength the deeper the light can penetrate. If you hold a red light up against your hand, you will see the light penetrating through the other side of your hand.

Unfortunately, as we get older the skin cells ability to manufacture supportive structures such as collagen and elastin start to slow down. Environmental damage from toxins as well as the suns UV radiation can speed up the process resulting in the skins reduced ability to produce elastin and collagen. It is the goal of LED light therapy to target the skin’s cells responsible for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, thus enhancing skin volume, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin tone.

Blue Light LED: can target and kill bacteria that are responsible for acne. When used in combination with red light LED it is even more effective in treating breakouts by calming the skin.

Red light LED: is known to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen and also improves circulation for tighter and smoother skin. Collagen plumps the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Infrared LED: penetrates the skin the most and is responsible for triggering wound healing processes and helping to reduce inflammation and associated pain.
