L.E.D. Light Therapy FAQ:
What is L.E.D Light Therapy?
L.E.D Light Therapy is the application of light energy to the skin for the therapeutic benefits. It is a natural photo-biochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photo-synthesis. NASA’s space program has proven that L.E.D Light Therapy promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. A lot of research has shown that energy delivered by the Light Emitting Diodes (L.E.D.) enhances cellular metabolism, accelerates the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the foundation of a healthy and smooth skin. The treatment is non-abrasive, non-invasive, painless, and absolutely no downtime. It is safe for all skin type and all ages.
What can I expect from L.E.D. Treatments?
With procedures like L.E.D, Lasers, IPL, and Surgery, there are always some people who don’t see the changes they thought they would. It is very important to have your expectations in line with any procedure you are getting. L.E.D. will make gradual changes through time (gentle changes). You will see changes in 1 to 3 months but you will see more changes as time goes on. You will usually recognize the first changes, but it is harder to see the changes the longer you go. That’s because you are constantly looking at your face. Therefore, it is hard for you to notice subtle changes. If friends, co-workers and family are saying "you look different", "did you get your hair done?", "you look great" etc. they see all those gradual changes when they look at your whole face. Since you are looking at one or two specific spots on your face with your 10X magnification mirror, you may not see the changes as readily. If you don’t do anything you will keep aging with nothing stopping it. However, treatments like L.E.D will slow aging down.
When you are around 40 years of age, your body slows down its production of collegen and elastin. This is when you really start seeing more wrinkles on your face. If you do treatments like L.E.D., Lasers and IPL this will make your body create new collagen and elastin. However you need to keep doing treatments because you keep aging. If you do treatments like this you can look anywhere between 10 to 15 years younger than your age.
It is estimated that nearly 70% of patients made a visible improvement with the blue and red light therapy.
