Light Therapy (LED / Infrared)
PROCEDURES | INSTRUMENTS
The LED approach with light in a spectrum from 350nm-600nm (yellow/red) is used to produce more desirable cellular activity, reduce inflammation, and improve tone and resilience.
The ability to instantly reduce a flaring rosacea and even dermatitis affected skin is well documented. It is temporary of course but it works and many skin estheticians have reliable equipment.
Blue light LED is used as an antibacterial approach for acne. It is useful overnight at best. Some acne sufferers find it very helpful, most do not, to reduce and hold back bacterial problems associated with acne. Most acne is inflammatory (95%) and bacterial problems are a function of poor hygiene, not acne, though they often go hand in glove.
The claims for the LED technology unfortunately are all over the map and in the Skin Dork’s experience only SUPER RESPONDERS really benefit beyond temporary reduction in visible inflammation.
Some LED machines are very expensive and promoted to reset the visible aging calendar by decades, guaranteed. This will not happen for most and maybe not even a few.
In combination with other instruments such as laser, micro-current and ultrasound (or not), in a coached program of careful topical administration there are skincare practitioners who can guide the skin with LED applications away from over-reactivity and chronic flare ups that are not caused by skincare products. This is an art.
Many times of course flare ups are simply a function of skincare product addiction and LED maybe can help for the next few hours, at best, if those products are not discontinued.
Useful LED’s for home use are available and will help unstable skin, not caused by skincare products, and if you are a natural stress case whose skin flares up easily, consider investing in an inexpensive home unit. A five minute treatment can be enough.
