Best suited for: acne, anti-ageing, skin rejuvenation, wound healing, prior to skin needling, post advanced/surgical treatments.

LED light therapy utilises different wavelengths of light to penetrate different depths into the skin, creating different cellular responses. The cells within the skin convert this light energy into fuel, similar to photosynthesis in plants. These cells then work to produce proteins and lipids that are essential for rebuilding and repairing the skin. LED light therapy is a pain free modality that targets conditions such as: acne and breakouts, stimulates collagen for skin rejuvenation, assists in reducing inflammation, speeds up the healing process of the skin (great for after advanced or surgical treatments) and energises the skin cells to ensure they are healthy and functioning properly.

At Skin Health Central we use the SkinMed RejuvU, which is a powerful, TGA approved, medical device. This device utilises red, blue, green and infrared lights to target the most common skin concerns. 

The red light stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve the circulation, reduce inflammation and enhance the skin’s natural healing processes.

The blue light penetrates the skin’s pores and destroys the bacteria responsible for causing acne, leading to a reduction in inflammation and blemishes. Blue light therapy can also help to regulate sebum production, which can further prevent the development of acne. 

The green light has calming properties that can help reduce inflammation. It can also help to reveal a brighter skin tone. Green light is used for treating circles under the eyes, sun spots and dilated skin capillaries.

Infrared light penetrates the deepest out of all of the wavelengths. It works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin and promoting all over skin health. It helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation and enhance the skin’s natural healing processes, perfect for acne, rosacea, psoriasis and wound healing.

What does LED actually feel like?

During the treatment you may feel some slight warmth, the light can be quite bright so block out goggles will be placed over the eyes for your comfort. 

When should I have an LED treatment?

When working on a specific concern such as skin rejuvenation or acne, LED treatments provide the best results when performed in a course, ideally 12 sessions over 6-12 weeks. LED may also be added onto your monthly treatment to maintain the skin and enhance the results of treatments such as HydraFace, Facial Cupping and Microdermabrasion. 

Before having skin needling treatments it is best to have 3-4 sessions of LED treatment prior to starting your skin needling journey. This will increase the cells ability to function healthily and ensure you receive the best results from your treatment. 

How do I select which LED colour to have?

There is no need to worry about this! Your skin therapist at Skin Health Central will assess your skin and determine the best wavelength for your concerns. We often like to use two colours at once, such as blue and infrared for acne!
