What is LED Light Therapy?

LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of infrared light to help treat various skin issues such as acne, fine lines, and wounds. It can also be used on various parts of the body to aid in healing.

LED (which stands for light-emitting diode) is a lower energy form compared to the sun and laser treatments.

In short, LED is absorbed by the molecules in the skin, which in turn alters the biology nearby cells.

Different LED wavelengths that show up as color have different benefits.

There are different colors which can be used for different purposes:

RED LIGHT
