The Complete Guide to LED Light Therapy: Colors, Benefits & Professional Treatments

Illuminate Your Skin's Potential with Anika Beauty

Are you looking for a non-invasive, pain-free way to transform your skin? Whether you're battling stubborn acne, trying to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or dealing with hyperpigmentation, LED light therapy might be the solution you've been searching for. At Anika Beauty, licensed esthetician Teresa Paquin offers professional LED light therapy facials customized for all skin types and concerns.

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) Phototherapy was originally developed by NASA and has since revolutionized skincare treatments. This innovative technology uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate different depths of the skin, stimulating cellular repair and addressing various skin concerns without any downtime or discomfort.

LED Phototherapy is designed to improve your skin's health from the inside out, targeting problem areas at the cellular level for maximum efficacy. The energy is used to improve cellular performance, promoting increased circulation, waste elimination, moisture retention, improved cellular turnover, and stimulation of collagen and elastin – the building blocks your skin needs to stay fresh and healthy.

The Science Behind Different LED Light Colors

Each color of LED light works at different wavelengths, penetrating the skin at various depths to target specific concerns:

Blue Light

Blue light affects the uppermost layer of your skin, effectively soothing inflammation and calming sensitive skin. It's primarily used for treating acne, as it has antibacterial properties that help eliminate the bacteria responsible for breakouts. Blue light therapy is the most common light therapy used to treat acne breakouts, with an antibacterial effect that helps kill the types of bacteria that clog pores and cause breakouts. It's especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin, as many topical acne treatments can cause irritation.

Red Light

Red light travels further into your skin than blue light. Its primary benefits include anti-aging effects, promotion of collagen production, and combating wrinkles. Collagen levels are key to how we look and feel as we age. LED Light Therapy can promote healthy collagen levels which creates firmer skin, healthier hair, and stronger bones. Our LED Phototherapy increases fibroblasts which make the collagen fibers.

Green Light

Green light penetrates past the epidermis and reaches the papillary dermis. It has a calming effect, helps create an even complexion, and aids in lightening hyperpigmentation. Green LED is excellent for brightening skin and helping with sun-damaged skin.

Amber and Infrared Light

These additional light wavelengths offer further benefits. Amber light helps reduce redness and sensitivity, while infrared light penetrates the deepest, supporting healing and boosting cell regeneration.
