LED Light Therapy
How does Light Emitting Diode (LED) Therapy work?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy is a light therapy used to combat the signs of aging, reduce pain and inflammation in muscles and joints and improves acne skin conditions. It uses specific wavelengths (depending on what is being treatment) of light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissues cells. These specific wavelengths of light energy are clinically verified to enhance your body's natural ability to generate collagen and elastin by activating the fibroblast cells.
This is a FDA approved devise for skin rejuvenation treatments.
LED light therapy can:
Increase circulation
Decrease inflammation
Improve skin tone and texture
Reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Stimulate collagen production
Accelerate tissue repair
This treatment is non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used on all skin types.
This treatment is also used for our acne patients to kill acne causing bacteria.
Why is Collagen so important?
When it comes to aging, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain is due to inadequate collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together. An easy way to remember what collagen does is to look at the Greek prefix ‘kolla’ which means glue.
Increased fibroblast proliferation is just one benefit of LED red light therapy. Fibroblasts make collagen fibers, so it stands to reason that the more, and healthier, fibroblasts we have in the skin, the more and better collagen fibers are made. And as we all know, collagen synthesis and maintenance is the bedrock of anti-aging.
Healthy collagen levels are what give us a glowing complexion, firm skin, strong nails, dense bones, and healthy hair. It is also essential in keeping muscles, joints, and tendons in healthy working order. Simply put, the more our bodies produce collagen, the better we’ll look and feel as we get older.
