LED Light Therapy.
LED was initially developed by NASA for plant growth experiments in space and was later discovered beneficial in wound healing. It is now commonly used by skin therapists to help regenerate skin, cure acne and reduce the signs of ageing.

Benefits
LED is a light-emitting treatment using various wavelengths (don't worry, there are no UV rays in LEDs) to help penetrate the skin at different depths, assisting in resolving various skin concerns including:
🔴 Red: 640 Nano Metres (Near-infrared)
Benefits: Boosts cellular skin renewal, increases blood circulation, speeds up wound healing and reduces inflammation.
🟡 Yellow 583 Nano Metres
Benefits: Hydrating, healing, actively reduces inflammation and redness.
🔵 Blue 423 Nano Metres
Benefits: Helps to kill P-acne bacteria, regulates oil flow and prevents infections.
🟢 Green 532 Nano Metres
Benefits: Helps to improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and is calming for sensitive and reactive skin.
How many treatments do I need?
Unlike other types of light therapy, LEDs do not contain ultraviolet rays and are therefore safe for regular use. Benefits can be seen within a few weeks of implementing LED into your routine; however, for longstanding efficacy, the best results are seen with weekly and, in some cases, daily usage.
