What is LED therapy?
LED lights represent an important therapeutic option in dermatology for treating many skin conditions and imperfections.
The entire “world of light,” from lasers to pulsed light devices, is now a fundamental part of dermatology, each playing a significant role with specific wavelengths.
In this case, LED lights work within the blue, red, and yellow spectra and are used to treat numerous conditions:
How does LED therapy work?
LED activity has been well-documented and is based on photobiomodulation by photons on receptors present on the mitochondria of various cell lines (from keratinocytes to fibroblasts and cutaneous lymphocytes), providing not only anti-inflammatory effects but also repairing and stimulating cellular metabolism.
The light energy offered by LEDs stimulates dermal fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, essential for skin elasticity, firmness, and support capabilities.
The combined use of various wavelengths achieves significant results in treating skin aging.
Moreover, red light in the spectrum from 565 to 740 nm is used in photodynamic therapy for oncological treatment of actinic keratoses and superficial basal cell carcinomas, also yielding excellent results.
LED lights improve blood and lymphatic circulation, enhancing tissue drainage and immune defenses.
This results in firmer tissue with improved tone and texture, not only on the face but also on the neck and décolleté.
Duration of LED therapy
LED therapy typically lasts about 10-15 minutes per session. Stimulation occurs over multiple sessions; usually, three sessions are sufficient to achieve a significant increase in metabolic activity, collagen production, elastin, and endogenous hyaluronic acid.
