What is Light therapy or Phototherapy?

Phototherapy literally means ‘treatment with light’

LED Phototherapy is the application of low-level light energy delivered via spectrally pure ‘bioactive’ (having a biological effect) wavelengths to stimulate or regulate biological process with proven therapeutic results. It uses coloured wavelengths of visible light which have specific skin benefits. As a result of ageing, skin disorders or trauma, healthy skin cells are compromised and unable to renew themselves normally.

How does it work?

LED Phototherapy is based on the principle that living cells are able to absorb and are influenced by light and the treatment has long been recognised for its regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties. While we often associate light exposure with skin ageing and damage, light also has many positive influences on the body. It helps us produce vitamin D and provides energy and serotonin and can also accelerate our skin’s natural repair processes. The differences between the positive and negative effects of light are the amount and the parts of the light spectrum we are exposed to. On-going exposure to UV is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.

The treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of this beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which energise cellular functions to stimulate various cellular processes with therapeutic effects. Skin cells that are energised function better and regenerate faster which in turn leads to younger, healthy and radiant skin.

However be aware not all LED devices are the same, you should look at the efficacy of the machine which is based on the wavelengths and energy emitted.
