LED Light Therapy Adelaide

Leave your skin looking radiant, energised and rejuvenated with LED light therapy.

You may be interested to know that back in the 70’s, NASA scientists discovered that light emitting diodes (LEDs) were able to stimulate plant growth. It was subsequently found to have the same effect on our skin by way of stimulating the mitochondria in the skin cells and boosting the production of elastin and collagen. This has proven to be one giant leap for our skin care. Thanks to NASA.

So exactly how does LED light have an effect on our complexion and skin health? The LED light penetrates the skin, stimulating cellular mechanisms and activity. It is able to enhance skin healing, plump up the skin thus eliminating fine lines as well as eliminate bacteria which cause acne.

Unlike Laser treatment, there is no risk of burning or scarring and there is absolutely no downtime. A handful of treatments will make your skin radiant and glowing.

We look forward to your visit.

About LED Light Technology

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 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.

How Does LED Light Therapy Work?

Unfortunately, as we get older the skin cells ability to manufacture supportive structures such as collagen and elastin star 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.

Types of LED Light Therapies

Blue Light LED is able to 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 a 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.

LED Light therapy is quick and painless and there is no downtime afterwards. It can be performed alone or in combination with facials and other skin care procedures such as Laser Genesis, Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion.

Who Can Benefit From LED Light Therapy?

Men and women of all ages and skin types are able to benefit from LED light therapy.

The treatment sessions take about twenty minutes, after which you can resume your normal daily activities.

What Results Can You Expect From Several Treatments?

Studied have revealed that 80% of clients report a softening of fine lines and 75% say they have smoother and softer skin.

How Long Will The Effects Last?
