LED light works by emitting light that penetrates deep into the skin cells providing them with energy. The cell converts light energy into fuel (like photosynthesis) in turn stimulating the cells to produce proteins and lipids essential for building and repairing the skin. This increased energy stimulates cells to produce proteins, lipids elastin and collagen fibres to repair damage such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, sagging and enlarged pores all at the same time. 

LED treatment is often used in conjunction with numerous other treatments to help take years off your appearance. Applying LED light to the skin along with other treatments like microdermabrasion, photo rejuvenation, and chemical peels, among many others, can help to accelerate and enhance the skin’s healing process. This can be beneficial for everything from active acne and pigmentation through to scars and stretch marks.

The LED light has been scientifically shown to improve the levels of both collagen and elastin in the skin by stimulating the fibroblasts cells in the deep layers of the skin. LED therapy can improve the appearance and quality of your skin. It can be used on its own or in combination with other cosmetic therapies to assist with:

• Combat signs of ageing – by stimulating collagen and elastin production
• Tone and tighten facial muscles
• Tackle inflammation as it is calming and soothing
• Increase cellular activity of the skin
• Eliminate a dull complexion
• Increase oxygenation in the skin
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Blemishes and redness
• Cleanse and purify 
• Smoothing of fine lines & wrinkles
• Improved skin tone
• Improved skin elasticity
• A more youthful appearance
• A reduction in acne

A trained and qualified Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic practitioner will set the laser to emanate a mild beam of light at a preset wavelength on the affected area of skin. The laser promotes the regeneration of skin cells and the regrowth of collagen (a naturally occurring protein found in the body which gives the skin its elasticity and strength) as well as elastin, which helps to reduce inflammation, soreness and redness. With further cold laser therapy treatments, increased lymphatic drainage and the passing of time, the affected area of skin can become stronger and the visible signs of ageing may become less visible.

The Benefits of Red Light therapy

Red Light therapy uses a 633nm wavelength to boost and bring more blood and nutrients to the area. It also stimulates vital collagen and elastin production . In addition to helping to minimise the visible signs of ageing, there are numerous other benefits to using red light therapy. The treatment:

• Stimulates cells in order to promote healthy skin
• Accelerates the healing of particular skin blemishes
• Minimises the visual signs of eczema and other skin conditions
• Activates collagen and elastin-generating cells which aids in filling in fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces the severity of redness in the cheeks and other areas of the face
• Non-invasive procedure
• No downtime
• Painless Procedure
• No side effects
