As mentioned in our previous blog, Anika Skincare offers complimentary Light Therapy with a 1-hour or more massage. We also offer at-home, hand-held products from LightStim LED Light Therapy. These are easy to use and you will see visible results. These personal devices are specific to reducing pain, wrinkles or acne.
What exactly is LED Light Therapy, or phototherapy, and how can it help? Whether looking to improve complexion or get rid of pain, Light Therapy can give you some relief.
Anti-Aging. Collagen levels are key to how we might look and feel as we get older. LED Light Therapy can promote healthy levels which creates firmer skin, healthier hair, stronger bones and more. Collagen is a structural protein in connective tissue and skin that, in simple terms, holds the body together. Our LED Phototherapy will increase fibroblasts which make the collagen fibers. Ultimately, when using this tool for anti-aging purposes, you will begin to notice the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and skin rejuvenation!
Pain Management. Many focus on light therapy as being solely for aging and acne concerns, but there are also whole body benefits that go beyond the skin. Instead of masking pain, light therapy will address the underlying issue. It promotes healing by repairing tissue without prescriptions and nasty side effects. The light’s energy inspires a release of nitric oxide which allows for more blood flow and oxygen. With poor circulation and a lack of oxygen, the Adenosine Triphosphate (or ATP) in your blood vessels will only cause pain or a lack of feeling. The LED Light Therapy increases ATP production and relieves pain and inflammation in an area where you may have temporary or chronic pain.
Acne Treatment. Acne can present itself in many different ways and although it is commonly known as being an issue among teens, it can also occur for various reasons in individuals of any age. LED Phototherapy is a type of acne treatment that improves cellular performance in a microscopic way. The wavelengths kill the bacteria that causes the breakouts, while also fixing any redness and inflammation. Light Therapy as an acne treatment, or for any other purpose, avoids any harmful chemicals, UV rays or side effects.
Whether you are using our LED Phototherapy as a facial or treatment at Anika Skincare or purchasing your own LightStim at home device, it has a variety of purposes in addressing your complexion and pain management.
