LED is one of our most popular treatments in the clinic, used to promote a wide range of skin benefits. Today we will be looking at how it works, the benefits and why Healite II is our preferred device.
WHAT IS LED?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) was originally developed by NASA for plant growth and healing experiments in space and has been used safely in aesthetics for over 15 years.
While there are numerous devices on the market, not all offer the same level of efficacy. At The Aesthetic Edit, we use the Lutronic Healite II developed by Dr Glen Calderhead, as this is considered the gold standard in aesthetic light therapy. This is because its wavelengths are proven to be at the required depths to generate cellular change.
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) with Healite II is the therapeutic use of incident light to photomodulate cellular function. This offers a wide range of benefits including improving healing times, relieving pain, subsiding active acne, promoting skin rejuvenation and more.
This advanced technology harnesses the properties of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, properly delivered and concentrated, to treat conditions without the possibility of physical trauma or thermal damage.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
There are different wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include blue and near-infrared light frequencies, which don’t contain ultraviolet (UV) rays and are readily absorbed into the skin. Each light offers unique benefits and are suitable for all skin types.
Yellow 830nm
Yellow LED speeds up healing by up to 78%. 830nm offers the deepest penetration to the subdermal layer of the skin, which can assist with wound healing, rejuvenation, collagen stimulation and optimal cell
Blue 415NM
The blue light offers shallow penetration to the upper-mid dermis (blue light). Blue LED offers antibacterial properties that kill p.acne bacteria responsible for breakouts. It also targets the sebaceous (oil) glands to regulate oil flow.
OUR LED TREATMENTS
Our LED treatment can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with many other treatments.
A weekly standalone LED treatment is a great way to improve skin health. As there is no downtime, it can even be performed during your lunch break or before an event to improve luminosity.
We also recommend adding LED to any of our facials and peels to maximise results, or in conjunction with meso-needling to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This additional 15 minutes will enhance your treatment and provide a relaxing experience.
Our injectables clients can also utilise LED to minimise swelling, bruising and redness. This is a great idea for anyone with a busy lifestyle who doesn’t have time for additional downtime!
Healite II LED is a safe and effective treatment that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. There is no pain, discomfort or downtime- just a relaxing treatment that will leave your skin feeling fantastic!
