LED Therapy and Why You Should Add This to Your Next Facial

As technology advances, aesthetics will see more different types of light sources designed to reduce, treat, and improve skin abnormalities, and aging.  The creation of medical light sources began with Albert Einstein in 1916.  Years later, Arthur Schawlow and Charles Townes were able to translate Einstein's mathematical equation in to the creation of a MASER (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation).  Combine years of hands on testing and studying, we now have over 150 types of laser light and energy devices on the cosmetics market today.

Adding an LED treatment to your facial service in the long run has many benefits. The improvements are subtle, but the return is immense.  Over a period of time the results are positive.  

Here is a list of the benefits...

Increased blood circulation, enhanced collagen and elastin production, reduces inflammation from acne, rosacea, stimulates lymphatic drainage, pain reduction, and promotes tissue wound healing.  

Most lasers and light sources are devices that, when applied appropriately, will produce positive results for a clients skin.   Here is a quick list of LED (light emitting diode) color wavelengths and their repairing effects for the skin.

Red Light:  Brightens and evens the skin tone. Proliferates collagen protein and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Tightens, firms and repairs damaged skin. An excellent repairing and anti-ageing treatment

Yellow Light:  Relieves irritation and aims to enhance the immunity within the skin. It also stimulates the lymphatic and nervous system, to rid the skin of toxins and increase circulation.
