MORE INFO ABOUT LED TREATMENT
There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, are readily absorbed into the skin.
Red light
Red, or infrared, light is used for treating the epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin. When the light is applied to your skin, the epidermis absorbs it and then stimulates collagen proteins, causing your skin will look smoother and fuller, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Blue light
Blue LED light therapy, on the other hand, targets the sebaceous glands, which are also called oil glands. They are located beneath your hair follicles.
Blue LED light therapy can target these oil glands and make them less active. In turn, you may see fewer acne breakouts.
Oftentimes, blue LED light is used in conjunction with red LED light to:
help treat acne
decrease scarring
promote anti-inflammatory effects
