If you already enjoy the results of regular facials, LED Light Therapy is the perfect way to take your treatments to the next level. This powerful, non-invasive add-on works beneath the skin’s surface to target concerns such as aging, breakouts, inflammation, and dullness — all while boosting your facial’s impact.
Used consistently, LED light treatments can help you maintain clearer, brighter, and smoother skin — with no pain, downtime, or extra effort required.
So how does it work?
How It Was Discovered
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy was originally developed for medical purposes to support wound healing and treat skin conditions by encouraging cell repair and regeneration.
In the 1990s, researchers began exploring its cosmetic applications. They discovered that certain wavelengths of light could:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve skin texture
- Calm inflammation
- Control acne bacteria
- Reduce fine lines and pigmentation
These discoveries laid the foundation for the modern LED treatments we use in esthetics today, particularly red and blue light therapy.
How It Works: The Science Behind the Colours
While the colour of the light indicates the wavelength, it is the wavelength that determines how deeply it penetrates the skin. The colour itself does not affect the skin directly but serves as an indicator of wavelength to ensure precision and effective treatment.
Colour of light ➔ Wavelength ➔ Depth of penetration ➔ Skin concern targeted
- The colour determines the wavelength.
- The wavelength determines how deeply it penetrates the skin.
- The depth determines which skin concerns it treats best:

- No pain, no downtime. You’ll leave your facial feeling refreshed and glowing.

What Results Can I Expect?
LED Light Therapy delivers gradual, cumulative results — especially when paired with regular facials. With consistent use, most clients notice:
- A brighter, more even complexion

- Reduced redness and inflammation
- Firmer, smoother skin over time
Think of it as a compound interest investment in your skin — the more you commit, the better your results.
