What exactly does LED therapy do to my skin?

Light Absorption: The mask emits different colours of light, which are absorbed by your skin cells.

Energy Boost: The absorbed light energy is primarily taken up by the mitochondria which is the powerhouses of the cells. This leads to an increase in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Cellular Responses: The increased ATP production and other cellular changes stimulate various biological processes:

  • Collagen Production: Red and near-infrared light can stimulate collagen synthesis, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Red light can reduce inflammation by promoting the release of anti-inflammatory mediators.
  • Bacterial Reduction: Blue light is effective against acne-causing bacteria by targeting porphyrins, which are compounds produced by these bacteria.

Tissue Repair and Healing: The activation of cellular processes also enhances tissue repair and healing. This is beneficial for conditions like fine lines, skin pigmentation, and even hair growth.

 

Different Colours mean different Jobs:

  • Red Light: Helps make your skin look smoother by increasing collagen production and reducing inflammation.
  • Blue Light: Kills bacteria that cause acne, helping to clear up breakouts
  • Infrared Light: Goes deep into your skin to help repair damage and reduce wrinkles.

 

Overall this results in improved skin and overtime, this can lead to healthier-looking skin with fewer wrinkles, less acne, and a more even tone.
