LED light therapy is a popular, non-invasive treatment designed to address various skin concerns, including acne, sun damage, wounds, and more. LED, or light-emitting diode, therapy involves exposing the skin to different wavelengths of visible light, each targeting specific skin issues to enhance overall radiance. Unlike laser resurfacing, which relies on controlled microdamage to rejuvenate the skin, LED light therapy is nonthermal and gentle, penetrating the skin without causing trauma.
While LED light therapy can be a standalone treatment, it is often used in combination with other procedures or as part of a facial. It complements laser treatments, chemical exfoliations, and micro-needling, offering a unique benefit among skin rejuvenation techniques: it does not involve damaging the skin. This pain-free treatment requires no downtime, making it suitable for all skin types and tones.

What to Expect During an LED Light Therapy Session
A typical LED light therapy session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. During the treatment, your provider will expose your skin to LED light using a freestanding lamp or a full-face mask. The procedure is painless and often described as pleasant and relaxing. While there is no downtime, your skin may appear slightly flushed for a few hours post-treatment.
